Chapter ten people! Completely channged/rewritten because I didn't like it and repost. Took me a long time to do it though, but you can blame school for that. Anyways, I will try to write a bit faster, but I can't promise anything, so for now you'll just have to do it with this short little thing. Next chapter will, probably, be a little longer.
Hope you guys like it!
Sitting down on one of the many brown bar seats around the counter, I waited. Waiting for Shirley to come and take my order. Unlike the rest of the staff working here she was already in her late twenties or her late thirties, I can't remember which one at the moment, not that it really matters. Though, sometimes I wonder why she still works in a school coffee shop. Not that it was a bad place to work. I mean the place looked great with its modern interior with some old school signs and paintings on the walls, giving the place a somewhat 'home' feeling. I just think she could do something better than this at her age. But then again, if she didn't work here, then I wouldn't be able to enjoy her delicious brownies and chocolate chip cookies. No one can make them like she does. So I guess I should be grateful for that.
Turning around, I was just in time to see a group of fine looking girls passing by. Leaning back I placed my elbows on the counter, a seductive smirk plastered on my face. ''Hey, ladies, Denise.''
''Hey, Butch.'' They all said, some of them giggling, others trying to hide a blush, but it was Denise who really caught my eyes. ''Hey, Butch.'' Smiling seductively she waved a flirtatious wave before she turned around with a wink.
''Flirting around again I see?'' a familiar voice said from behind me. Turning around my eyes met light brown ones staring right back at me. Eyes belonging to none other than Shirley. ''I thought you were going for your blond friend.''
''Bubbles, that's her name. Anyways, she isn't really my girlfriend, yet. So until then I'm still allowed to flirt a little.''
She raised an eyebrow at me. ''Are you sure about that? Shouldn't you be more focused on Bubbles?''
''Shirley.'' I said with a smirk. ''It's just some innocent flirting, nothing seriously. There's nothing wrong with that.''
''If you say so, Butch.'' She said, her eyes leaving mine to start wandering around the room. ''But I still suggest you don't that often anymore. Especially if she's in the same room as you are.'' Now it was my time to raise an eyebrow at her. Looking back at me she must've caught the confuse look I had as she nodded her head to the right. ''She's sitting over there.''
''Ah.'' Turning my head to the right my eyes searched for her until I found her. She was sitting all alone in the back next to the window, casually drinking her Frappuccino. Smirking I looked back at Shirley. ''Well, since she's here, there is no need for me to be flirting with other girls, is there?'' she just shook her head at me while I just shrugged my shoulders.
''So, if you don't mind, Shirley.'' I said, getting of the chair. ''I've got a girl over there that needs my attention.'' Without looking back anymore I headed over to the back.
This time I had her all for myself.
Grabbing the chair next to her I turned it around so my arms could rest on the back of it as I sat down. "Ey, Bubbly." her baby blue eyes flickered to where I was, as she smiled a small smile.
"Oh hi, Butch." After that her gaze went back to the Frappuccino in front of her. Grabbing it she took a sip.
Hmm, not really the exact reaction I was hoping to get from her, but that wasn't going to stop me.
"So what you doing all alone here?''
"Well, I'm not completely alone.'' As I raised an eyebrow at her she continued. ''Boomer's here too you know.'' Smiling she turned to look at me before pointing to the counter. There, where I had been sitting just a minute ago stood the dude, ordering something.
''Okay, but why is he here?''
''I was busy showing him around campus a little, well, to the places he hasn't been too yet. Like here. And besides this is a good place to take a break.''
''And you were the only one willing to give him a tour? Wasn't there anyone else?''
Looking away she seemed to be in thought for a second. ''Hmm, well, Blossom's busy with some project and Robin is hiding from Mitch. So, no, there really wasn't anyone else to do it. But why? What's so wrong about it?''
'''Nothing.'' I said shrugging my shoulders. ''It just seems to me like a shitty thing to do, showing the new kid around 'cause otherwise he gets lost.''
''I don't think it's that of a burden to show new people around, especially if their nice.''
''I'm a nice person, wanna show me around?'' I said giving her a wink with my usual smirk.
She was about to say something when a voice interrupted her. ''You know, Bubbles, you were right about that Frappuccino.'' Looking up my smirk dropped as I saw it was that Boomer kid only a few feet away from us, smiling at the Frappuccino he was holding. ''It tastes…oh.'' Apparently he wasn't that fond of seeing me, like I wasn't that fond about seeing him as his smile dropped and a look of annoyance took over his face.
''You're here too… Great.'' The fake smile he put on only added more to his sarcasm.
''Look, dude, don't hate me 'cause I'm awesome. I just am. Some people like me are just born this way and there's nothing I can do about that. People like you have to just accept that.'' The smirk I was wearing couldn't be bigger as I said that.
Still wearing that same fake smile he sat down on the other side of Bubbles, placing his backpack on the ground and his Frappuccino on the table. ''Well then, I hope for you and everyone else that suffers from your disease, that one day they will find an antidote for cockiness and you can finally be cured.'' The fake smile he was wearing was really starting to annoy me.
''Say, do all your conversations go like this? I mean I haven't been there all the time when the two of you spoke to each other, but it doesn't really look like the two of you like each other. Which isn't that good since you're roommates and all.''
''Us, not liking each other?'' I said, the sarcasm clear in my voice as I shook my head 'no'. ''That's crazy. What makes you think we don't like each other?''
Shrugging she grabbed her Frappuccino. ''Well, it just seemed like that.''
''Nah, we're just messing with each other. Right, dude? We actually really like each other.'' Now it was my turn to put on a fake smile.
Sipping from her drink she looked at me and then at the kid, who just shrugged. ''Well, then.'' She said, a smile forming on her face. ''Butch, I think you'll be happy to hear that Boomer has signed up for the soccer try-outs.''
The fake smile dropped and was immediately replaced by a frown. ''What?''
''Yeah, Boomer signed his name up just, like, a half hour ago when I was showing him around. Aren't you happy? No you guys can spend even more time together.'' She said, her smile never leaving her face.
Note-to-self: Bubbles doesn't get sarcasm.
''No, I'm not.'' Her smile seemed to drop as confusion started to take over her face.
''Why not?''
''Well 'cause I don't…'' I was about to say that I just didn't like him and because of that I didn't want him on the team. But then she'd figure I lied or confuse her even more and I'm not feeling like explaining why I don't like him or why I lied. So instead I should tell her something else. ''I don't think he can play.'' Well that wasn't a lie at all.
''What's that supposed to mean?'' for a moment I forgot that the kid was sitting over there. Oh well, it's like I care if I offended him, so I just shrugged.
''Just like I said. I don't think you can play.'' He just doesn't seem like one who could.
The glare he had directed at me showed that apparently he didn't agree with me. ''Oh so just because you're a guy, you think you're better than me?''
''What?'' that last statement really got me confused, but thankfully I wasn't the only one. Bubbles looked as lost as I was. Narrowing my eyes I took a good look at him.
''You heard me. Just because you're a 'cool' guy, you think you're better than me? Well you're not.''
''Hmm, I'm indeed a cool guy. But awesome would be a better description of me.'' though I wasn't sure if I was the one who heard it wrong along with Bubbles, I went along with it. But I could swear he didn't say cool guy. Just guy.
''Ugh.'' He said turning to face Bubbles. ''You know Bubbles I'm done with taking a break. Is there anything else you wanted to show me?'' the second he said that he was already standing up, ready to leave, with his backpack in his hand. Bubbles, the nice person she is, of course wanted to show him more as she stood up too.
''Yes, of course there is more. Come on we're not done yet.'' Grabbing her stuff she was about to walk away when she remembered me and turned around to face me. ''If you don't mind, Butch, we're leaving. See you later.'' Flashing me a last smile she turned around.
''Bye, Bubbles.'' Flashing me a last smile she turned around.
Hmmm, so the kid has signed up for try-outs. Interesting. Leaning back I pulled out my phone, ready to send some texts to certain people. Smirking I pressed send and stood up, stuffing my phone back into my pocket in the process and headed for the door.
Tomorrow should be fun.
