"Math is the source of all evil!" I suddenly declared tossing my math book to the floor in pure annoyance. I sat there cross-legged on the couch glaring at it. "I hate you. Stupid book."
"You hate a book?" Someone's voice interrupted my stand off with the book.
Turning bright red I turned to see Two-Bit standing a few metres away from me looking thoroughly amused as he stood there holding…ice cream?
"It's a maths book. Do I need to explain more?" I asked him my cheeks still flushed pink.
Two-Bit shook his head and grinned. "Nope you don't. But I think this is melting," He informed me holding up the ice cream, yes ice cream…why did he have ice cream? Anyway he held it up to me so I could see it. I couldn't help but stare at him.
"Two-Bit why do you have ice cream?"
"Thought you could use some cheering up." Two-Bit said simply shoving it into my hands…ew it was well kinda melting slowly. I shuddered. Yuck.
"Thanks I guess," I said feeling bewildered. "You hold it, I'll get the spoons,"
I insisted leaping off the couch and shoving it in his hands. Not to sound all crazy but well melting ice cream is pretty gross. And sticky. I pulled a face and grabbed two spoons from the cutlery drawer and passed one to Two-Bit as he peeled the lid off of the container and grinned to me already digging in.
I laughed as he gulped it down and suddenly started pulling weird faces. "Brain freeze?" I asked him giggling and he nodded. "Aw your poor little brain!" I teased him taking the opportunity to devour the majority of it whilst he was busy holding his head and pulling hilarious faces.
"Pig!" Two-Bit cried out snatching it from me…yeah I actually held it for a bit. Big surprise.
"Hey Matthews!" I shrieked grabbing it off him. "I love ice cream it's all mine!" I said grinning.
"Mine now," Two-Bit grinned grabbing it off me and began scraping at the bottom.
"Pig," I told him tossing back my hair. "You are soo unbelievably childish you know,"
"You were just screaming it was all yours!" he protested staring at me.
Seeking my opportunity I took it from him and finished it off grinning wickedly at Two-Bit who pretended to be all pouty and upset over it. I laughed at him and took his spoon from him.
"Not too upset are you?" I asked him tauntingly as I disappeared into the kitchen, throwing the spoons in the sink and the container in the bin.
"How could I be upset when I'm liking the view?" Two-Bit replied from right behind me.
My brows furrowed instantly. What? "Huh?" I asked him turning around and pretty much walking right into him.
"I like the view," Two-Bit whispered in my ear bending down to…kiss me.
I was in shock. His lips and mine parted and I hadn't moved an inch. I was so frozen by the fact one of my best friends had just kissed me. I knew my face was burning and I was awkwardly trying to avoid his eyes but when I met with his eyes he looked worried and his own face was a shade or two darker than mine I think.
"I'm sorry." Two-Bit muttered nervously moving away from me.
I just stared at him. My mouth slightly open, my eyes staring at him.
"This will be between us okay?"
"Okay," I finally managed to say shaking myself slightly. "Um what was that?"
"Uh," Two-Bit said turning darker and darker red.
"Pixie we got us a spy!" Steve screamed out suddenly the screen door slamming open and two pairs of heavy footsteps came into the house and Two-bit immediately moved further away from me and I moved to the other side of the room too. "Oh hey Two-Bit," Steve said spotting him as he came into the kitchen grinning madly. "That Cherry chick, she's our spy!"
"Yeah came up to us just now in the lot with Dal!" Sodapop said enthusiastically slinging an arm around my shoulder and grinning to Two-Bit. "What's with your face?" He demanded staring at Two-Bit oddly.
Steve's head swiveled from looking at my brother and I to staring at Two-Bit who clearly didn't know what to say. He's not good like that. Being put on the spot. Well not when it comes to things he's gotta keep quiet at least.
"I dared him to moon a car," I said quickly trying to sound nonchalant, I think it failed but they both turned to look at me. "Car of soccy girls, you know probably not the most delightful thing Two-Bit's done this year." I said smiling slightly at Two-Bit who looked relieved at my lie.
"Serious?" Sodapop snorted. "You dared him to do that?"
"Yup," I said as if it was the plainest thing in the world. "Rather funny too,"
Steve and Sodapop began laughing and talking with Two-Bit who was exaggerating my lie by a mile, like he had actually done it. I shook my head and had to laugh. Freaks.
