Chapter twenty-five: "Get In The Car'

Cloud was still in the library building and I got bored so I walked out of the school gates and I was greeted by my sisters who were about to ride the van to go home

Adeline stopped midway going into the van and gave me a big wave "Hi Sis!" She said loudly to me like we were 6 feet apart but in actuality, I am just near her, and my eardrums hurt like hell

"Calm down I am only gone for a day but you make it seem like I am gone for a month" I joked as I waved to Brie and Wendy who were already inside the van

She rolled her eyes at me "Oh you don't know how hectic the house is after you left" she told me

I gave her the look "how hectic?" I asked as I fixed my bag in a more comfortable position

"Like, if you imagined everyone is fighting over who would take over your room since Aunt Laborè would be away for a month"

The part where Aunt Laborè would be away for a month took my attention "She would be away for a month? where?"

"Switzerland she said"
I nodded "Oh, then I guess may the last man standing wins my room," I told her as I waved them goodbye

They all waved goodbye to me as the van left my sight, walking is a good exercise to go to the penthouse but the only problem is that I don't have a key card. The only person other than Cloud who has a keycard was Nick and I don't know where that idiot went to, he would always pop up and disappear in a matter of seconds if he wanted to

I felt someone cover both of my eyes from behind "guess who?"

From the tone of the voice and the familiarity, it must be "Aiden?" I answered

"Ding ding ding, correct Pip" he said as I turned to face him
"What are you doing here?"

He put on a pouty face "do you not want me to enroll here?" He asked and I shared my head
"No, that's a great idea"

He looked around like finding someone "is he here too, Cloud I mean"

"Yeah he is here too, Why are you both so hostile to each other?" I walked alongside him around campus as we passed by some rowdy students who were very loud as they exit the gates

He made his lips into a tight smile "we had a little disagreement before I left, it's a long time ago there is nothing to worry about it" he said and a chuckle erupted from his broad chest

I sense a strong presence in front of me and I would always assume it would be Cloud because he has the strongest presence out of all of our friends especially me, I raised my head and I was right

Aiden greeted him "Hey Cloud" but Cloud didn't even want to acknowledge him as he grabbed my arm and forcefully drag me away from him
"Cloud what are you doing? That's not nice" I whisper yell to him from his back

I waved to Aiden and smiled at him before we were in the parking lot beside the school building, Cloud let go of my hand when we were near to the car. I held my wrist to where he held me and glared at him
"What is wrong with you?!" J said loudly to him, he turned to face me

"I don't want you near him, he is bad news" he explained but it made me scoffed

"So what? You're not even good news either so don't call others what you are!"

His green eyes went dark after I said it but I was not going to regret my statement, he needs to hear it because he has been living in his own world and expects everybody to understand and just follow him

"Get in the car" he said lowly like he is about to snap but I didn't want to follow, I crossed my arms and looked away with an angry look

He sighed in frustration as he opened the passenger seat car, he suddenly lifted me up bridal style and forcefully put me in the passenger seat
"Cloud!" I said his name loudly but they fall on the deaf ear and he stepped in and sat in the driver's seat, I try to open the passenger seat door but he locked it quickly

I ignored him the whole ride back to the penthouse, he was looking at the road with furrowed brows
Have I gone too far? Wait a minute, NO I DIDN'T!!

We were silent in the elevator and as the doors open we were greeted by Nick who was slouched on the couch with both of his feet up on the coffee table, he was watching beauty and the beast. On the coffee table beside his sock-covered feet is some Disney movies CD's

"Disney Movie marathon?" I asked him and he nodded with a mouth full of nachos he made for himself, I took a nacho in the bowl and ate it

"Is he grumpy again" he gestured to Cloud with his eyes, I glanced at Cloud who went to his room and closed the door quietly

"Yeah, he is" I sat beside Nick and we watched 5 Disney movies

"And at last I see the liiiggghhht~~" we both sang in the Rapunzel song loudly,  Cloud went out of his room
"Can you guys keep it down?" He asked us loudly from the other side of the large living room and only his head is peeking out from the bedroom door

I shake my head at him
"Dude you are only studying with your eyes, not your ears" Nick replied to him

"Wait he is studying after school?" I was bewildered at that fact, he was so studious

"Yes Angel, There are some people who study after school" Cloud told me in a monotone voice

Nick gave home a funny look "yeah like sociopaths do" he retorted which made Cloud come out of his room
"Do you want to repeat that again?"

"Do you want me to?" Nick looked at him with a grin, Cloud took the last nacho chip from his bowl "I do"

I think Cloud taking the last nacho chip in the bowl made Nick attack Cloud, he was running around the room saying "you ate my last chip you Demon!!"

Cloud is a good runner so after running in a minute Nick got very tired and gave up running after Cloud
"Dude you can't even run to save your life so how are you going to run after me to avenge your last chip?" Cloud mocked him with a wicked grin

"Shut it Cloudina" Nick mumbled as he started to hug me for comfort

"Hold me Angel, the Demon kept annoying me" he said to me as he hugged me, I hugged him back and patted his back "there, there, we'll make another nacho bowl"

It seems like there was something that annoyed within Cloud when he saw us being so close "Nobody is allowed to call her Angel except for me got that Nickolas?"

Nick groaned "fine" then he leaned to whisper to me "but when we're alone I can"

I laughed a little at his boldness but I know Cloud will find out sooner without me telling him since Cloud is very keen on his surroundings so he will find out in no time

Nick left after he watched half of the Disney movie CD's and will return tomorrow to finish it, I went to the kitchen to make dinner since Cloud made breakfast this morning

Cloud came out of his room with a book at hand and was busy reading it, he sat on an empty sofa at the corner where I found him wide awake at midnight
