8. The Project

When I went home. I quickly had a shower and cleaned my room. And let me tell you. I don't keep my room clean. Cause I like it messy. I know it's pointless but I like it. So after cleaning. It was the time Bradley was about to come. So I started working a bit on the project. After all it was a group project.

I was engrossed is writing when the bell rang. I made my way down. And mom was in the kitchen and was making her way towards the door to answer it. But I quickly mumbled " I got this " and went. And when I opened. Bradley was standing in all his glory. He was looking cute. But he was not dark and hot like Zander.

Like Zander

Seriously now I started comparing them

Stop this Ame!!!!!

"Hi!" Bradley exclaimed. I smiled. " Who's this Ame?" I turned around and mom was standing. I was about to introduce Bradley but he cut me off " I'm Bradley Simpson. I'm Ame frnd and project partner. After seeing you I came to know from where Ame got her beauty" He replied and shaked hand with my mom and kissed her palms. And my mom was blushing.

She was freaking blushing!!!!!

What is she a teen!!!!!

Next moment we heard a very stern voice " Who ever you are. I warn you to back off from MY wife" and let's welcome my possessive dad. He was standing at the end of the stairs. Bradley backed off from my mom. And again introduced himself to my dad like he did to me mom. But without saying the last part that he said to me mom. My dad nodded " Son of David. Just like him. Keeping an eye on my wife. But still say my regards to your parents". Bradley nodded. "Okay kids, go and complete your homework. I'm bringing some cookies. And Bradley you are not leaving without having dinner" mom said in strict voice. And Bradley nodded like a kid. I think my mom's stern voice works on everyone.

We made our way to my room. And started working on the project. Mom brought the cookies. We were so engrossed in writing all the materials while eating cookies. That we didn't noticed that there was only one cookie left. We started fighting like a kid. That who will eat it. While fighting we didn't reliazed that our legs and hands were tangled. Then mom shouted " Ame, you didn't told me that you have one more partner in your project?" I turned towards Bradley and was confused and so was Bradley. Only brad was my partner. The cookie was long forgetten but we were in the same position. Then the door opened. And standing there was my ZANDER

My Zander

It's so good to say it like it...

Zander was standing on the door. And he was angry. I can say it cause his hands were in a fit and the viens of his neck were popping.

But why was he angry????

He's not angry stupid. He's jealous

But why he's jealous

Cause you are sitting too close to Bradley.

But he's not my boyfriend

"What are you doing here?" Bradley and Zander said at the same time. I was looking back and forth between them. And then Bradley said the most obvious thing " We were partnered for a project" and then Zander finally realized his mistake. But due to his very big Jupiter like ego. He didn't accepted it. But came and untangled me from Bradley " So what I'm just here to see how was your project going" I didn't missed how he said project. He emphasised it.

Bradley and Zander were having a 'dont dare you blink your eyes contest' then Bradley phone rang. He broked the eye contact. And answered his call. He talked about sometime and then ended it. " Ame I'm extremely sorry. But I have to go." And he went. I felt a bit suspicious that why Did he suddenly went. But I didn't pressed it. He went. And now Its me and Zander in the room.

I looked towards him. And he was already looking at me. Then after felt like hours he finally spoke " The thing that you did today. Dont do it again. Otherwise I can't guarantee the life of that stupid brad". It took me sometime to what was he telling.

He's talking about the little stunt you pulled in the classroom

He's definitely jealous

Yeh! Yeh! Zander is jealous

I will party tonightttttt

" You were also talking so closely with that stupid Stacey" After I said this. Zander was looking at me with amusement in his eyes " Are you jealous, Lia?" My eyes widen at his words. " Ofcourse not" he laughed " haha I believe you". " Zander I swear I was not jealous" he laughingly nodded his head. " You are saying me. Even you were jealous" after I said this his laughter died.

Yeh! One point for me

I'm definitely gonna party tonight!!!!

" You were jealous"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

" Kids! Come down. Dinner is ready!"

My mom finally said. My stomach growled at the mention of food. Zander chuckled. And we went down.

" Where is Bradley?" My mom asked "He had some important business to attend. But he promised to come next time". Mom nodded " Zander come have a seat". I looked between them   " You know each other?" Mom nodded " He's our neighbors. And he even helped me by shifting the empty boxes in the storeroom" I nodded.

We settled on the dinning table. And let me tell you something. My mom cooks amazing. Like you will be licking your finger. So I filled my plate with everything. I am very hungry today. Dad also came and sat of the head chair. I was about to have my first piece when dad asked " So Zander, I didn't saw your dad? Where's he?"

And I lost my appetite......
