Previously…
"RACE YA!" Clary started to sprint around the track not waiting for the boys to answer. A few moments later, she was flanked on both sides by Sebastian and Jonathan. Clary loved competition, and but the boys always outran her. It didn't help that she was only five foot one while the boys towered over her by a foot.
"Maybe next time Clare-bear!" Jonathan laughed and surged forward. Sebastian winked at her and caught up with Jonathan. Clary rolled her eyes and finished her five laps five minutes after them.
Chapter 2 – Watch What You Say
Drills that day weren't so bad. The coach had to get the new players' heads wrapped around the drilling sequences. While the three musketeers (my new nickname for the trio! =D) headed to back to the gym, Clary had this great idea to surprise the boys by taking them out for dinner tonight.
"y'all want to go to Taki's? My treat!" Clary suggested.
"FREE FOOD!" The whole guys team shouted. Clary rolled her eyes, she was thinking about how guys always jump at the chance of getting free food.
"Umm sorry guys, I was talking to my brother and Seb…" Clary said trying to sort out the confusion.
"See guys? This is what happens when you have an awesome sister. You get free food." Jonathan stuck his tongue out at his teammates.
"AND a free ride home. So a suggestion to all you boys, befriend someone who loves to gives free things out cause you're not mooching off ours!" Sebastian and Jonathan jumped up and gave each other a manly chest bump and a high-five. It was there thing to do when they agreed on something.
"WOW guys… I feel so loved. You pricks only keep me around so I give you guys' freebies. I understand that now, and you both can enjoy walking home." Clary teased.
"Clary, we all know we keep you around for more things, like helping us on homework, and feeding us, and letting us tease you, and…" Jonathan started to say but Sebastian chimed in.
"and you're a great coat rack, arm rest, and if I get lost, your hair is like a beacon that we can all find!" Sebastian said counting them off with his fingers.
"Oh look! It's raining! So sad you have to walk to Taki's. Oh well… there will be waffles waiting for you!" Clary ran ahead to her olive-green Jeep and sped away to their favorite diner.
Clary sat down in an empty booth waiting for Kaile to take her order. Kaile had worked there since forever. Clary came up with a motto for the waitress, if you're a hot guy, welcome to Taki's, if you're not, what the hell do you want? After a few minutes lost in her thoughts, Kaile came up to her table.
"What do you want?" She said with an annoying voice.
"Great service with a smile?" Clary suggested. Kaile shot her daggers. If looks could kill, you would be dead just by walking in the dinner and seeing her clown face caked with make up. Not to mention the added death glare.
"Look brat, order your damn food in the next five seconds and maybe, just maybe I won't spit in it."
"Well then, I guess I'll get two blueberries and a chocolate waffle, two hot cocos, and one vanilla milkshake."
"Jeez are you a cow or something?" Kaile sneered.
"Hey, I'll pretend you didn't insult my amazing figure and you don't spit in my food. Sound fair?" Clary hated to compromise but it was better that saliva submerged waffles, with a side of a spit spun milkshake. Plus the insult meant nothing to her, a plus about joining the soccer team was the fact that you get toned out muscles. But she knew the boys wouldn't forgive her if they found out they were eating spitted on food. But... it wouldn't really matter since they nearly ate everything in their path. But she didn't want to risk it.
"Whatever…" Kaile wrote the order down and began walking back to the kitchen with her four-inch heels clicking against the polish floor tiles.
Twenty minutes later, two outrageously soak people walked through the door. There faces were both styling the fierce battle dog look.
"Oh hey! You guys came! I was worried when you'll show up!" Clary tried to stop giggling but she lost the fight.
"Okay, new rule, no more commenting on free things and no more walking in the rain. Deal?" Sebastian sat down across from Clary after he and Jonathan went to the restroom to change out of their soaking clothes.
"Seb, hell no. She left us. In the rain. No deals. Only payback." Jonathan sneered.
"Hey! You guys were being douches so the only fair treatment was the walk!" She turned to Jonathan. "I don't see why you need payback dear brother, you did say I am an awesome sister." Clary said with her cute and calm voice that she knew Jonathan couldn't resist.
"Fine…" He mumbled. "Only if you ordered…" His sentence was stopped by the irresistible wafting scent of freshly made waffles being served to the table. Kaile slid the orders down the table, not needing to ask who ordered what. This is what they always ordered. All day, everyday, and it only changed on rare occasions. The drinks were the only thing that changed every time they came to eat. Assuming that the drenched guys wouldn't order a cold milkshake, she placed the two hot cocos in front of them and the milkshake in front of Clary.
"Call me over if you need anything!" Kaile said sweetly and added a wink in before she walked away. Sebastian shook his head while Jonathan stared at his plate like it gold.
"Thank the Angel you ordered this heavenly meal or you wouldn't be sleeping tonight little sis." Jonathan said before taking a huge gulp of his coco.
"Just be glad I also got her not to spit in your food! So we're even?" Clary hoped the food work change her brother's mind about revenge. Last time she pissed him off, he took a sharpie to her beloved Mona Lisa poster she got from the traveling art museum. He decided the Mona Lisa needed a new look, so he gave her a Dali moustache and a green mohawk. She got so mad she took all of Jonathan's soccer uniforms and dyed them pink. Jonathan had people asking him every five minutes during practice if he was gay or not. He nearly wanted to choke Clary. Nearly. But Sebastian made them call truce before any physically harm could be done.
"Hmmm yea wer eben" Jonathan sloshed his food around his mouth while talking because he knew how disgusted Clary got when she saw food in other peoples' mouths.
"Ewww! Jonathan that is so gross!" Clary pretended to throw up. Sebastian threw his head back and bellowed with laughter.
Sebastian knew no matter what happened Clary and Jonathan always made up. They had this strong sibling bond that was impossible to miss. Being an only child, he envied their bond, but didn't want it with them. If he was bonded to them in that way, he couldn't love Clary. He couldn't care about her the way he did, and he was determined for her to love him the same way. He loved the way her green eyes lit up with excitement. His skin crawled with wanting when he saw watched her games. The way her red hair blew in the wind made his heart do flips. He loved…
"Sebastiannnn…. Backkkk toooo Earthhhh misterrrrr!" Clary couldn't help to take the opportunity to swipe the remainders of her milkshake and placed the cold concoction on his nose.
"HEY! That was freakin cold Clary!" Sebastian yelped at the surprise coldness on his nose.
"I was only trying to get your attention." She giggled. "I'm sorry." She reached across the table and swiped it off his nose, but planting a quick kiss in its place.
"All better." Clary said with a sweet smile noticing the was pacing wall of red going up Sebastian's face. Sebastian felt his heat beating twice as fast as it was before she kissed him. She actually kissed him. His heart was singing to the angels.
Clary looked at Sebastian for a moment. Did he like her? Did she like him? She always thought of him as her brother and best friend but could they be more? Clary felt her body temperature rise with the thought of Sebastian not being her brother or best friend. But more than that. She kinda liked the feeling, not knowing what it really was, but it felt nice. She decided to question her feelings later and finish her blueberry waffle which was what Sebastian order every time as well. Why didn't she notice that sooner?
While Sebastian and Clary were in their own little world, Jonathan sat there with an evil grin on his face, looking at them with his mind working double time. Time for a game plan! He thought. It was about time those two got together. And he had the perfect plan. Nothing was going to mess it up. Nothing!
Okay that's it for today! I left a little hint to what the next chapter should be about… =) Well, reviews always make me happy and giddy on the inside so share some love! Tomorrow you'll probably get the new chapter! I wanna write this as quickly as I can so you guys don't have to wait for months or years for one chapter. It's a painful wait. I know...
Thanks for reading!
