The Catch
"No way!" Chad said in disbelief as we finished up our fro-yos and I finished up my story.
"Yeah, and then I eventually got so sick of running back and forth between the two sap-fests that I went and watched the movie I really wanted to see, not expecting to see you and Zora already there. Grady and Nico ran into each other at the concession stand and made up and came in too. And everyone lived happily ever after." Chad chuckled.
"I honestly didn't think you could be so vicious. I mean, those kind of movies are torture for dudes!"
"It was torture for me!" I laughed too. We got up and trashed out empty yogurt cups, then started towards the door to the hallway.
"You are not like any other girl I know, Monroe." I wasn't sure how to react to that. Was that an insult?
"Umm...thanks?" He smirked and draped an arm around my shoulders.
"No, trust me, that's a good thing. I wouldn't like you if you were like them." I blushed.
"You like me?"
"Well. More than those airheads anyway. Besides, I told you, you're my favorite Random." I giggled.
"Thanks Chad. I suppose that you're my favorite Drama snob." He laughed.
"Well, thanks."
"Sonny!" I heard Tawni yell. I looked up to see my cast coming towards us down the hallway. Chad's arm dropped to his side.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Did you catch him yet?" Grady asked indicating towards Chad.
"Nope!"
"No!" Zora repeated sounding scandalized. "Sonny you've failed us!"
"I, um, still have," I looked at my phone, "A half an hour." Nico and Grady looked at each other with a smile, Tawni quirked an eyebrow, and Zora just sent me a look of disappointment. I sighed. "yeah, okay, I failed." I admitted. Chad squeezed my arm as an act of support and I'm sure relief.
"It's okay." he said, "I'm just too good." I rolled my eyes and snorted, not even turning to look at his smug smirk I knew was there.
"Maybe it's time to let this tradition go?" I offered, steeping forward in front of Chad and towards my cast.
"Never!" Zora proclaimed. Grady was confused, so Nico was trying to explain. Zora turned to them and started trying to get them to shut up. Tawni looked like she wanted to slap them all with her perfectly manicured hand. I turned to face Chad and shrugged to try and convey a message of 'my cast is crazy!'. He shook his head in understanding.
"oh! Just catch him already!" I heard Tawni snap behind me. I saw Chad's eyes widen in surprise in front of me. Then, I felt myself being pushed from behind, hard1
* THUMP!*
I went flying straight into Chad. He fell backwards under the force and we both landed on the floor. Chad groaned in pain as my full weight landed on top of him
"Oh my gosh! Chad are you okay?" I asked, tying to get up off of him, but found I couldn't because his arms we some how wrapped around me. I blushed as I found myself pressed against his chest, with him pined down beneath me.
"Oh look! Sonny caught Chad." I heard Tawni mutter, sounding bored. "Now can we go?" I heard confusion from the rest of my cast. "LET'S GO!" Tawni screamed and I heard them running away. I tried once more to get up but Chad still wouldn't let me, only tightening his grip in response. I blushed and looked up at him, and was met with an eyeful of his amazingly blue eyes.
"You okay, Monroe?" He asked sounding genuinely concerned. I nodded, not entirly trusting my voice. "I guess you caught me." I smiled.
"I-I think, technically, you-you caught me." I stuttered out. He chuckled and I felt it shudder through me." I smiled.
"I always knew you'd fall for me eventually, I just didn't think it'd be so literal." I rolled my eyes but smiled.
"Shut up, Chad."
