SZNS SERIES 1: Summer by Maria Writes (books for men to read txt) 📗

ready to use. The house is inside the campus and is exclusive for their organization only. On their first year in college, she and Caroline stayed on the house but was forced to move out on their second year because of renovation. And now, on their senior year, they'll be using the house again. Also, they'll be sharing it with the rest of the members of the organization. So basically, it's like a family house, full of drama students.

Chloe went up on her feet, and instantly packed her stuff. They already received a notice so that means they can move out of this room anytime. And that time is now. She is busy packing all their books and photo frames while Caroline is busy on their clothes when a knock was heard from the door. Both Caroline and Chloe exchanged a look before opening the door.

And to her surprise, it was her parents. With boxes of pizzas and champagne bottles in hand. Her parents are one of the school benefactors, Leona and Adam King. Their batch initiated the boarding house idea that they'll use now.

"Oh my god! Mom, Dad? What are you two doing here?" Chloe asked then rushed to her parents to hug them. She broke free from their hold and turned to Caroline to hug her friend as well. After the greetings her parents finally entered the room and settled their selves on the bed to sit because the room is too small to fit a couch.

There was an awkward silence in the room until her mother break it. "So, we've heard that you'll move back to the boarding house so we decided to brought you girls some snacks. And we'll also help you moving your stuff so it won't be a hassle to you." My mom said in glee. It seems like she's more excited to move in the boarding house than her and Caroline.

"Okay, Mrs. King, we'll gladly need the help. And thank you for the snacks." Caroline raised the champagne bottle her father placed on the table earlier. "If this is considered a snack."

Her father laughed at what Caroline said. But it's true, for normal people, champagne is not for snacks. Well, unless your too rich. But her parents are not. But they're weird. Never mind.

"Okay, why don't you help us pack things first. Then we can eat these pizzas when we get to the house? Will that be gre---" she was paused mid-sentence because someone knocked on the door. I wonder who that be? Maybe it's June. Hoping that it will be her cousin, she quickly rushed to the door to open it. But to her surprise, it wasn't June, it's Jesse. "Hey, what are you doing here? I didn't see you earlier at the auditions."

Jesse eyes widen at the mention of the auditions. So, he forgot. "Caroline asked me to buy some stuff for her room, Ginger. I thought I'll make it in time but I didn't. But the audition is still up until Friday, right? I'll be there I promise." he said, quite nervous.

Chloe just stared at Jesse with no emotion in her face. When she saw that Jesse is very nervous under her gaze, she quickly smiled making him confuse. "I'm just messing with you. Yes, auditions are until Friday so you have four more days to prepare." So, it's fun bullying him. I might do that often. She's just staring at Jesse's eyes and she didn't realize that until Caroline screamed her name.

"Chloe, what the heck are you doing, we have to --- oh Jesse, you're here. Where are my curtains?" Caroline stands beside her with her hands on her hips. She's bossy again.

Jesse quickly handed her a bag that contained the curtains. "You should help us packing, brother. And help us move in on our new house. Come in." All of them started packing, while eating some pizzas. It took them three hours to pack everything, and they already finished four out of five boxes of pizza. Jesse and her dad carried all the heavy boxes down the building while her, Caroline, and her mom carried the bags. While descending down the stairs her mom asked questions about Jesse. "So, Jesse is your brother, right Caroline?"

"Yes, Mrs. King. Half-brother actually. He's dad's first born, from his girlfriend. Before mom."

She immediately sensed that Caroline is uncomfortable with the topic so she signaled her mom to stop talking, which she gladly obliged. Even though Caroline is cool with the thought of having a half-brother, she's still uncomfortable talking about it.

They finally reach the first floor where Jesse and her father are waiting in front of their van. My parents are really prepared for this moving out thing. Wow. Caroline and her threw their bags on the back part of the van. They were about to enter the van when only Caroline fitted. The van is already fully loaded. Her mom is already on the passenger seat, her father is driving, Caroline fitted herself on the backseat, and the rest are filled with their stuff.

"Chloe, why don't you just walk with Jesse?" Her father asked. As if I have a choice, right? She nodded and watched the van drive away. The boarding house is just a few buildings away so it won't take them long. She smiled at Jesse and started walking side by side. To light up the mood she asked Jesse about his audition plan. "Are you ready for this week? For the audition, I mean?"

Jesse looked at her and sighed. Did she say something wrong? "Chloe, can we talk about anything aside from the auditions? I want to know you more; I want to be friends with you." He stopped walking and faced her. "Yes, I'm ready for the auditions. But aside from that, can we talk about anything else? Every time you see me all you say is about the auditions you're doing."

That stunned her. She though he was cool with it.
