Hellooo guys! I finally finished writing this chapter. I was really busy, so it took a long time before I got to update, sorry about that.
Anway, I hope you enjoy reading this chapter! :D
"Getting to know you"
It took a few hours before we decided to head back to our dorms. We agreed to continue exploring the town another day, since it was getting late. Hale had to meet Dyson, so me and Kenzi decided to head back to my room, and make some pizza for dinner. When we finished buying the ingredients that we needed, Hale followed us back to the dormitory and then gave each of us a hug goodbye.
"Hale seems nice." I said as we walked inside the building.
"Yeah, he is cool." Kenzi replied with a smile.
"The town seems like a great place too. There are a lot of stores that I really liked." I said as I took the key card out of my pocket.
"Yeah, the town seems awesome. There have a lot of awesome shoe stores!"
I glanced at Kenzi and smiled before I opened the door. It was quiet, I didn't think Bo was around, not until I heard some noise coming from the bathroom. I walked in the kitchen and placed the grocery bag on the kitchen table. "Does your room look the same?" I asked as I took things out of the bag.
"Yeah, I think all rooms look alike." Kenzi said, I could hear her boots clicking around the room. "I don't even have to ask which side of the room is yours." She said as I walked out of the kitchen.
"I like my things organized." I said as I took off my shoes and jacket. "Should we start making pizza?" I asked when I heard her stomach growl.
Kenzi placed a hand over her stomach, before she gave me a nod. "Yepp!" she said as she too got rid of her shoes and jacket.
I smiled and nodded. "I'll start making the dough then" I walked back in the kitchen and began preparing the dough. Making homemade pizza together, was something that me and Kenzi has done for a long time. It was some kind of a friendship tradition. I was not allowed to make homemade pizza when she was not around, and vice versa.
"Is your partner...um, Ba-Bu? Bow?" Kenzi said as she walked in the kitchen.
"Bo." I said as I see her struggle remembering the name.
"Right! Will she be back around dinner?" She asked while she looked for the grater.
"She is home, I heard some noise coming from the bathroom a while ago." I replied as I began to knead the dough.
"You think she likes pizza?" Kenzi continued to ask, as she grated some cheese.
"I don't know, it was not mentioned in her profile...I don't really know much about her yet."
"Okay... Well everyone likes pizza."
I covered the dough with a small towel before we walked out of the kitchen. We decided to do our math homework while we waited for the dough to be done. We didn't have math tomorrow, but I tried to convince Kenzi to get it done today, so we don't have to think about it for the rest of the week.
Kenzi sat on my bed, legs crossed, and both arms on each side of her face.
"What?" I asked. Though I already knew what she was about to say.
"Can't we do other things than this assignment?" I don't think the convincing worked.
I smiled and shook my head. "Fine, you can do whatever you want, I'll finish mine as I wait for the dough to be done. But just so you know, it's better to get it done now, than stressing about it later."
She groaned. "Alright, I can do this homework and be done with it."
I smiled. "Good! There are only five questions, it's not much, we will be done in no time." I took out my math book and notebook from my bag, and placed it on my study table.
When I took a seat on my chair, the bathroom door opened and Bo walked out. She was wearing a tight leather pants, and a white top. There were little curls forming at the tip of her hair, that was still wet.
"Oh" She said as she saw both me and Kenzi.
"Um... I hope you don't mind me having Kenzi over." I said.
"No, of course not, it's your room too." She said as she closed the door behind her.
"So, Bo, you like pizza?" Kenzi asked.
"Sure,who doesn't" Bo replied with a small smile. Then she walked over to her bed and took a seat.
"Great! Me and Lauren are making some, do you want to join us?"
Bo glanced at me before she looked back at Kenzi. "Thanks, but I'm actually heading out, I need to go help someone with something."
"Oh, okay. Well maybe next time." Kenzi said with a smile, then she continued doing her homework.
Bo looked back at me, and I gave her a small smile before I turned around and continued doing my homework. I could hear her going back and forth from her closet, and in to the bathroom, twice, before she walked out of the room.
It took us about half an hour to be finished with our homework. We put our things away and started to have a conversation, while we waited for the dough to be done.
"They definitely get lesser homework here, than we do back home." Kenzi said as she laid on her stomach.
"Yeah, it would be a miracle if Mr. Jones gives us homework that only consist five questions." I said with a small laugh.
"Someone would have to blackmail him." Kenzi added and laugh.
"Yepp!"
"Is the dough finish soon? I don't think my hunger can cope." She groaned.
"Twenty minutes." I replied as I walked over to my bed and sat down on the space in front of Kenzi, leaning my back on the wall.
"So what do you think about your partner?" Kenzi asked as she sat up and sat beside me.
"I don't know...she is okay I guess- I haven't really talked to her that much." I shrugged.
"Well, she seems nice, only problem is she is with that douche."
"You don't know that." I answered. Maybe too quickly. And I regret the moment those words came out of my mouth, when Kenzi gave me a look.
"You like her!" She said grinning.
"No I don't, not the way you are assuming it anyway.
Kenzi tried to look at me in the eyes, with a big smile on her face. But I just tried to look away, for her to stop teasing me. "Fine. Say what you want to say." She said, finally giving up.
"What about Hale...I saw some attraction. You like him?" I said. I was the one who was grinning now.
"I think the dough is done." She said as she stood up from the bed, and walked inside the kitchen.
"Young lady, you didn't answer my question!" I giggled as I followed her inside the kitchen.
"Aaaaaaaand, there goes the alarm." She said as the alarm went off.
"We are not finish with our conversation." I said as I took the dough, and started rolling it out on the pan.
Twenty minutes later, we were already sitting at the dinner table, placing a slice of pizza on our plates. We were so hungry that we couldn't even talk while we ate. When I was on my second slice, and Kenzi was on her third, I heard the door closed and someone walking inside the room. Must be Bo.
"Dis pizzza iz probabwy the best one we ave ever made." Kenzi said, while chewing her food.
"It's because of the starvation." I said.
I looked up from my plate as Bo walked in the kitchen. She looked tired. I wondered what she has been doing. She walked directly towards the fridge, and poured herself a glass of water. She looks like she has not drank in years. I thought as she drank her second glass. After she placed her glass in the dishwasher, she looked at me and smiled. I could feel my cheeks burn as I smiled back. That was the second time that she smiled at me, and probably the hundredth time she caught me looking at her.
"Thirsty?" I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Kenzi's voice. I looked at her, and she gave me a grin. I will never hear the end of this. I sighed and took another bite of my pizza.
"Yeah, a bit." Bo replied, then she walked over to us.
"Hungry?" I asked as I pointed at the pizza that we just made.
"Actually, yeah." Bo nodded, then she took a seat beside me.
"You guys made this from scratch?" She asked after she took her first bite.
"Yepp." I said as I glanced at her. She was sitting too close beside me, that I couldn't look at her without having my face inches away from hers.
"It's really good." Bo said.
"It's a recipe that we have had for years." Kenzi said as she drank her glass of soda.
"Well it's a recipe that is worth keeping." Bo said.
"So, Bo. How is it like being a succubus?" Kenzi asked.
"You don't have to answer that, if it's too personal." I told Bo.
"It's not too personal. We are here to learn." Kenzi argued.
I could hear a small laugh coming from Bo, and I turned around to face her. "It's okay." She smiled. "Well...being a succubus has its ups and downs. But it gets me out of trouble sometimes, so there is that."
"Cool." Kenzi said.
"What do you guys think about the place so far?" Bo asked as she took another bite of her pizza.
"It seems cool. I saw lots and lots of shoe store that I will be visiting everyday." Kenzi replied.
"Yeah, the town seems great." I added, and took the last bite of my pizza.
"So, Bo. Me and Lauren were talking about you a while ago." Kenzi began.
Please don't say something embarrassing. I though as I drank my glass of soda.
"You were?" Bo replied.
"Yeah, I was just asking Lauren about you. And then we had this little argument about that curly haired dude in class. Is he your boyfriend?" I choked on my drink when Kenzi asked her question. I placed the glass on the table and wiped my lips with my finger, before I faced Kenzi. "What?" She said. Though she knows, that I know, that she knows what. "Sorry, that was too personal, you don't have to answer that." Kenzi told Bo.
"It's okay." Bo replied, though she never answered the question. I felt a bit curious now, now that Kenzi has asked the question.
We spent a couple of minutes talking a bit about ourselves. I definitely got to know Bo better. I found out that she liked to go training and climbing mountains. She liked listening to music and watching tv-shows when she has time, but she mostly spends her time in the Dal with her friends. Me and Kenzi has told her a bit about our world, answering some of her questions.
An hour has passed, and Kenzi decided to head back to her room and get some sleep. It was getting late, and we had early class tomorrow. I walked Kenzi to the door and gave her a hug goodnight. When I closed the door, I went back into the kitchen to clean up the table.
"Bo, you don't have to do that. I got it." I said when I saw Bo putting the dishes in the dishwasher.
"No, it's okay. It the least I can do, after giving me some dinner." She replied.
"It was nothing, we couldn't have finished all of it anyway." I said, then I began to wipe up the table.
"I think you hit the jackpot on finding your best friend." Bo said, filling the silence.
"Yes, I'm pretty lucky to have met Kenzi. I- I actually didn't have a best friend- well any friend – not before I met Kenzi."
"Well Kenzi has won the jackpot on finding you too." I looked up at her, and she was smiling. That smile that makes it suddenly hard for me to breath. When I finally catch my breath, I smiled back. We smiled at each other for a few seconds, before she looked away and closed the dishwasher. "It's getting late. I'm going to head in the bathroom and change. Do you want to use the bathroom before I go in?"
"No, I'm good. I'll just change in the room." I replied.
"Okay." She said, then she walked out of the kitchen.
I washed my hands and turned off all the lights, before I walked out of the kitchen. I changed into my pajamas and tucked myself in bed. I closed my eyes and let the thoughts wander off my mind. Then I heard the bathroom door close, followed by some footsteps, and the sound of bedsheets rustling. Then silence.
"Goodnight." I said without thinking. My eyes remained closed as I waited for a reply.
Then I heard her soft voice. "Goodnight."
