Hey guys! I would've updated sooner, but I was attacked my a bunch of little kids (My brothers convinced them to think I was Santa in disguise...). Tell me what you think about this chapter in the reviews darling.
(Stevie)
It's lunch, and I seriously don't know how I'm going to apologize to Zander. I accused him of being a liar, and I'm not sure how it's going to play out with Max... I'm at the lunch table just chewing in a hoagie.
"Hey Stevie." Zander says coming over to me.
"Hey Zander." I say awkwardly. It was kind of weird talking to him ever since yesterday.
"I'm sorry." we both say in unison.
"You go first." I say.
"Okay. I'm sorry that I tried to get between you and Max." Zander says.
"Hey. Don't worry about it. I have another guy on my mind anyways." I say.
"About Max. Is it true that you attacked him with duct tape?" Zander asks me. As a response, I take out Kevin's duct tape and smirk.
"I'm going to take that as a yes." he says.
"Good." I say, and the awkwardness in the air increases. Luckily, Kevin, Nelson, and Kacey come along.
"Hey Stevie."
"How did it go with Max?"
"I want my duct tape back."
You could guess who said these quotes, and you'd be right.
"Fine. Here." Stevie says giving Kevin his duct tape back. When he gets it back, he treats it like a baby.
"ANSWER ME!" Kacey yells.
"Quiet down Kacey. People are staring." I say trying to keep my street cred intact.
"I just want answers." Kacey says. I motion Kevin and Nelson to tell Kacey what happened.
"Okay. Stevie slapped Max at lunch yesterday, and then she attacked him with duct tape." Kevin and Nelson say nonchalantly. Kacey just stares at me.
"What did you do?" Kacey says.
"So I attacked Max. So what?" I say taking a bite out of my hoagie.
"You could've had a boyfriend!" Kacey exclaims. I try to resist rolling my eyes.
"I already have three boy friends right here." I say pointing to the goofballs beside me.
"I was talking about a boyfriend. Not a boy friend." Kacey explains.
"What's the difference?" I say. Kacey just face palms herself.
"Never mind. You just had to attack him in public?" Kacey asks me. I look at her.
"It was outside of the library. You don't really call it public." I say.
"Oh yeah..." Kacey says in realization. As we sit there, Zander puts his arm around me. I tense up, but after a few moments, I think "Why not?" and let him stay there.
"Okay. So Max is a perf boy now?" Kacey says.
"He says it's complicated." I say.
"So he's- I didn't know you guys were together." Kacey says pointing to Zander and me. Zander suddenly takes his hand off.
"What? No. We aren't together."
"We are just friends."
"Want some duct tape?"
"NOOOO!" we all say in unison.
"Kevin. Hand. Over. The duct tape." Kacey says.
"No! Don't you ever take my baby away from me!" Kevin says.
"It's for our own good Kev." Nelson says. Kevin thinks for a moment, and hands it over.
"Take good care of her." he says close to tears. Man, he has a serious problem.
"So... If you guys are not together, then why do you guys act like it?" Kacey asks me.
"We just do okay? You do it with Kevin!" I exclaim.
"Okay then. Let's pretend this never happened. Hey. Nelson!" Kacey says trying to get Nelson's attention. He was currently staring at the perf, Grace, like a cat outside a sushi bar. I thought it was cute. It reminded me of Romeo and Juliet a little bit.
"Snap out of it Nelson! She's a perf. You know what happens next." Kacey says. It made me feel a little sorry for him.
"Sorry Kacey." he says quietly. Out of the corner of my eye, and see Grace staring at Nelson, and she smiles. Great. Just another love story around here.
