Justice p.o.v.
More people were making their way to the finishing line, most oblivious of what took place. Only when left did Laura express her worries, I assumed she didn't want to bother him anymore since she already created so much trouble for everyone.
"I can't move my legs." She said in a really low voice, so she was acting all calm but she must have been just as upset as before. I wanted to beat up Vincent for what he did, but this wasn't the time and place, what mattered was sending Laura home. I looked at everyone, all guy and girls seemed exhausted so I doubted anyone would be willing to carry Laura for us. Would we need to use threats in this situation, or would someone offer help to curry her to my back so I could drop her off?
"What should we do," Erin asked I think she noticed even with the two of us we wouldn't be able to carry her since we drained our energy.
"Let me do it." Surprisingly enough Lutz offered up his help, was he planning to win over some romance points from Laura, I couldn't tell. I tried to believe his feelings were sincere but I couldn't put it past myself that was wrong to assume. But it didn't look like we had another choice so I nodded, but just in case I wanted someone else more trusting around me in case Lutz tried some tricks, I asked Erin and Jian to follow me. For some reason, I saw at least some sincere feelings inside his dead eyes. He didn't help Laura for any strange advantages but because he cared just a bit, but the fact remained that I didn't fully trust him and had this jarring feeling around him. It may have been because I caught him multiple times using weed and trying to spike other people's food. Jian agreed to go with us. I had Lutz sitting in the front of the car, while Erin, Laura, and Jian shared the space in the back.
When we arrived I didn't even need to ask Lutz about helping Laura since he did it on his own accord, of course, once he laid her in her bed he had to ask.
"You sure you don't need a shower?" she shook her head and then I saw Lutz leaning in whispering something into her ear, her reaction made me realize his words must have been dirty, in seconds her exhausted state disappeared and she put him in a choking grip.
"You love sweat so much? How about I make you smell my feet?" of course she was unable to do it since her legs didn't seem to cooperate with her, but Erin found it hilarious.
"Show him who's the boss." shortly after he was released, but thankfully he didn't reconsider taking advantage of Laura who couldn't defend herself much longer.
"Now, shall we head home, I could actually use a shower." Laura decided to assure us she would be ok, however, Lutz wanted to stay put. I had to drag him out by his ear.
The next day we asked Laura how she was doing since she wasn't going to come to school, she admitted that her legs were now in pain thanks for the uncounted work out she performed the previous day. We couldn't do much for her since our attention was at school, hence we decided to bully Vincent making him head to Laura's house and taking care of her until we arrived. A few hours later she wanted us to bring Claudius and Alfonso along when paying a visit, we wanted to check on her hoping the french idiot wouldn't try anything funny.
"So what is she planning?" I asked hoping that either Undine or Erin would know what she was thinking.
"No clue," Cynthia said as most girls shook their heads as well.
"Well, who is going to drag Alfonso?" Tabitha asked as we looked at each other.
"Don't forget Claudius." Cat reminded us, we didn't forget we assumed it was her job.
"Of course you will take care of it, he listens to you well." Fantina mused
"Justice you can get Alfonso you share your next class with him." I sighed accepting this unfortunate fate, I couldn't say no to Undine.
"We trust you," Tabitha said giving me a thumb up.
"Don't blame me if it fails," I said heading to class. The game called find Alfonso wasn't too hard since Flavio was stuck to him like glue.
"Hi," I said while skipping happily to the Spaniard, he just raised his eyebrow, probably wondering when we got on such good terms for me to consider greeting him.
"What do you want?" such a harsh voice, he probably felt something bad was going to occur.
"I just wanted to know if you can meet me after school?" I asked him, he wanted to refuse but I stopped him mid-sentence.
"So cool, then I will wait by the school gates," I informed him skipping to another set so I didn't have any possibility to talk his way out of this. I had this feeling telling me he would show up, I saw him glancing at me suspiciously during class so I proceeded to wink at him, causing him to sigh.
Time Skip
"So what did you want?" he asked while scrubbing the back of his head.
"Tag along," I said inviting him into my vehicle.
"Are you trying to kidnap me or something?" Like I would try any of such, I just pushed him inside and drove to Laura's house.
"Actually I have no idea what is happening." he seemed hesitant after all I brought him to an unfamiliar house.
"You want me to play a role as your boyfriend?" was that the best thing he could come up with? I shook my head
disapproving, but then I understood, I also wouldn't trust an unfamiliar girl that asked me to tag along from nowhere.
"No," I answered shortly knocking on the door.
"What is this about then." I couldn't have answered him even if I wanted.
"Bet me." Vincent opened the door, Laura sure made some good use of this guy.
"Can someone explain why I'm here." I dragged Alfonso inside already hearing Claudius complain, I saw how everyone stared at Laura who sat at the sofa, seeking explanations.
"I considered bringing those three fellows together since I assumed friendship could bloom between them and Vincent." hearing this didn't make the lad in question happy.
"Who said I wanted to make friends?" he seemed against the idea.
"Come on you fit each other perfectly, a lazy bunch that hates their life's," Laura said grinning at them.
"Oh, so you either creating a therapy session group or a club for miserable people," Erin stated, her nodding her head as if it made complete sense. Cat slammed her with a pillow since she didn't like her view of Claudius.
"No, I wanted them to meet more people," Laura said, Alfonso was ever just hanging with Flavio, same went with Vincent and Oliver, neither of these friendships seemed mutual. But who knew what was going in those guys' heads maybe they enjoyed being annoyed since they otherwise didn't have other buddies, this was an opportunity to broaden their horizons.
"Sweetheart you are too nice to Vincent," Avalyn said looking concerned since the french guy was the sole reason she had to barricade herself at home.
"The first important step is to be able to forgive people," Catalina laid such importance at this sentence making Laura agree.
"Come on, give it a break only one day passed," Cynthia remarked but Laura answered maturely.
"Anger takes away energy and brings destruction." if she only could say the same in Luciano's case.
"Since you want them to converse how about we introduce them to the perfect cafe nearby and leave them to it?" Fantina suggested I wasn't sure whatever she cared or it was a good opportunity for her to taste their assortment.
"I been there they sell the best desserts." Undine was on the boat to go there, by foot it seemed.
"Let's not waste any more time." Of course, Erin had no interest in the guys, she was already in the cake realm.
"Vincent you walk Laura there, no complains." Avalyn made sure Laura had an escort, so we locked the door and headed out. Who would have thought after grabbing seats we would encounter Al, Oliver, and Matt.
"What are you doing here?" Al asked rudely.
"We are just chilling," Erin responded cockily.
"Then why are you all looking at Vincent and...is that Claudius and Alfonso, what are they doing together?" Matt seemed to be shocked by these three hanging together.
"They are getting to know each other so leave them alone." Laura didn't want them to interfere now when her seeds were sprouting.
"We're waiting for results," Fantina said enjoying it all way too much. The newcomers decided to join our tables.
"Are they done already?" Cynthia then pointed at them since they all three stood up.
"Where are you guys heading?" Aspen asked since she was reluctant on leaving them be.
"Somewhere else," Alfonso answered so Aspen looked at Laura for her input.
"Let them go." she seemed happy that they hit off so easily.
"Yeah, we can use these three to send her home," Undine said putting her arm on Al to make him agree under pressure.
"I will be happy to help." Of course, the crazy cupcake lover would be the first to offer assistance.
"I guess we are leaving Laura in your hands," Undine said as Laura looked at her tilting her head.
"You guys have plans." Undine nodded, was it ok to reveal it?
"Why didn't you invite me?" she asked pouting.
"If you want to spend another hour in a mall, listening to me chat about things like one direction or Twilight you can come." of course Undine knew what to say to make her return to her house.
"Oh wait I forgot, we are having a baseball match this weekend," Erin informed everyone.
"I'm not coming." Laura was going to refuse even that?
"But we have no replacement." I let her know, I wanted to crush the other team this time around.
"Let me hop in on that," Al said, he had this excited smile on his face.
"If you say so, then Matt join us too." Of course, Erin would try to strengthen our team.
"Yes if Matt joins as well, I don't have too." Fantina was truly not into sport, but neither I or Erin would let her leave so easily.
"No then who will flirt with the guys distracting them mid-game if not you." yes that tended to be one of our many strategies.
"I think we should replace Cat instead." Catalina seemed to agree.
"Then I can make us lunch," Catalina suggested we were already looking forward to that.
"But I wanted to make our lunch." Laura's face became pouty again.
"No don't." Undine decided to furthermore scare us away from Laura's decent cooking skills by bringing up her old friend, Arthur. Who's cooking was very horrifying, it made me wonder whatever she was teasing Laura to compensate for the lack of the cooking skills she never possessed in the first place, bringing Laura down with her in the progress. Was she averting all the stares to Laura so people wouldn't know how bad of a cook she was? But this time she had another witness of how dangerous Arthurs cooking was.
"As in Arthur Kirkland, that sounds like bad news." Laura seemed to give up on defending her pretty average cooking skills.
Next we will see the baseball game~
