CHAPTER FOURTEEN
~ FRIDAY ~
"I swear to god, if he doesn't stop talking like that, I am gonna fall asleep." Reid groaned, crossing his arms and resting his head on them. Ally snickered before wetting her finger and shoving it in her friend's ear. Reid threw himself backwards, letting out a loud yell and alerting the attention of everyone in the classroom.
"Is there an issue, Mr Garwin?" Their English teacher asked, frowning in contempt.
"No issue at all. Do you have one?"
"Mr Garwin."
"Yes, Sir?"
"Shut up."
The rest of the class let out a small laugh before resuming their work as the teacher turned back to the board. Reid slouched back down in his seat but not before glaring at Ally.
"You're such a brat, Allison." Reid hissed.
"Wow, not even Ally. I'm hurt."
"No you're not, Princess. You're a terrible liar."
"That's not true, I'm a great liar." Ally smirked, a copy of Reid's smirk.
"Give me an example."
"This morning. When I told you that your hair looked good." Ally chuckled before turning away from Reid.
Ally heard Tyler, who was sat in front of her, snort before resuming his conversation with the small, pretty mahogany haired girl next to him. Ally recognised her from her Math class but couldn't remember her name.
However, she hadn't seen that look on Tyler's face before. That love struck look. Smiling at the scene before her, Ally made a mental note to tease Tyler about his infatuation.
"Hey Blondie. Who's the girl Baby Boy is talking to?" Ally asked, not even bothering to look at Reid but keeping her eyes on her friend/brother.
Reid sat up a bit straighter trying to get a good look at the girls face.
"That's Astrid Winters. Cute girl. One of the only ones in this school with high standards." Reid said with a scowl on her face. "Wouldn't go out with me."
"Smart girl."
Lunch was the only time that the Sons, Sarah and Ally were all together throughout the school day and so it was usually filled with five conversations going on at once and people talking with food shoved in their mouths. This lunch was different.
Most of the group was quiet , apart from Reid who never shut up, no matter the situation. Ally was sat between Pogue and Caleb, with Sarah on the end next to Caleb - all of them were staring at the people on the other side of the table.
Reid and Tyler weren't anything spectacular to look at but what was between them was. For the first time since the Sons had started Spencer Academy, Tyler Simms had brought a girl to sit with them. The cute girl he was talking to English. The shy girl.
"This is awkward right, it's not just me?" Pogue whispered into Ally's ear and then smirking when he felt her shiver.
"This is awkward." Ally confirmed.
Pogue let out a small chuckle, that rumbled through his chest, a sound Ally loved, and she smiled up at him before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Pogue wrapped his arm around Ally and slid her deeper into his side.
"Can you not defile my sister in front of me? I want to keep my lunch down." Caleb mumbled, staring at the couple with disgust.
"I have to watch you defile Sarah, how is this any different?" Ally sassed, taking pride in the fact that both Caleb and Sarah's cheeks turned a dark red colour.
"It just is."
Ally opened her mouth to argue back but Pogue put his hand on her mouth before turning to Tyler and Astrid.
"So, Astrid, tell us about yourself."
The rest of the table laughed as Astrid looked like a deer caught in headlights before hiding her face by shoving it in his shoulder.
Ally let out a sigh as she waited for Tyler to finish saying goodbye to Astrid, so that they could walk to their last class together. Lunch had actually got a bit louder after Astrid had stopped hiding in Tyler's shoulder and towards the end, she had come out of her shell a bit. At least until a Reid made a joke about her underwear. Then she refused to look at anyone again.
"Tyler, hurry up, we're going to be late for Photography." Ally called over to the new couple who looked like they were debating whether they should kiss or not.
They stuck to holding hands. They were even risky enough to have a small, quick hug.
"Bye Ally!" Astrid waved, before looking like she regretted it and rushing off.
"Shy girl." Ally noted once Tyler had walked over to her. "You're perfect for each other."
"So are you and Pogue. More so."
Now it was Ally's turn to blush as Ally and Tyler sat in their seats. The sibling like pair spent the whole lesson teasing each other about their partners and pretending to plan their next photography project.
"Let me grab that for you, Trouble." Pogue gave her a dazzling smile before sliding Ally's bag off her shoulder and carrying it for her. He could practically see the relief wash over her once the heavy weight was gone. Wrapping her arms around his midsection, the younger girl gave Pogue a tight hug.
"Long day?" Pogue asked, giving his girl a good bear hug. All he got back was a weary nod.
"After Photography, it just went downhill. Reid decided to skip Biology so I was left to defend myself against Aaron Abbot and despite him being easy to annoy, he's a persistent fucker."
"Well, I have an idea." Pogue said, a huge smile appearing on his face.
Ally looked up at her boyfriend in adoration and his smile was so contagious that she couldn't help the smile creeping its way onto her face.
"Why don't we go to your house, you pack a bag and then we can go back to my apartment. You can stay a couple of days." Pogue suggested.
Ally grinned before jumping up and wrapping her legs around Pogue's waist, giving him a deep kiss.
"I'll take that as a yes?"
"I'd love to."
