A/N: I find the tittle funny haha -maybe it´s just me. This is what was happening while the two jerks -Aaron and Nic- were having dinner together haha
These scenes were originally planned to be in the middle of the two prior posts but I guess it´s better this way the only problem is that two of the four posts of this weekend are short... w/e
Yay me! 4 posts in two days!!
*********************
“Are we
still going, Jonah, Jill, guys?” Maya motioned to the rest
“Sure –Jill
answered and they all nodded- You should join us too, Josh”
“Yeah –said
Jonah- we´re hanging out in town this weekend”
“Sure” Josh
grabbed some food
“You can
bring Nichole” Maya said in a suggestive tone, the group laughed, Jonah laughed
too but seemed eager to know Josh´s answer.
“Are you
guys inviting her?” he motioned his finger from left to right to the girls in
front of him. They looked at each other and smiled
“We are”
they said at the same time and laughed.
“So, will
you bring her?” Bryan asked. Josh huffed and furrowed his eyebrows for a
second.
“I don´t
think she´s the kind of girl you bring” he made air quotation marks, the girls
nodded “but I guess I´ll ask her”
“Cool” said
Jill said excited. Josh looked confused
“They’ve
been meaning to ask her if she´s taken modeling classes” Jonah explained with
annoyance.
“How else
would she walk like that?! Every guy gets stupefied by her walk and have you
seen her yearbook pictures?” Maya explained
“Why is
that so important?” Josh lifted an eyebrow
“Well…
that´d explain why she looks so good and wouldn´t make the rest of us feel bad
and we could ask her to give us some tips” Jill said a little bashful. Josh
laughed and they pouted.
“Why don´t
you just ask her if it´s that important?”
“Someone
did last year” Bryan said
“Yeah and
she only lifted an eyebrow and kept walking as if she hadn´t listened. I
wouldn´t like that” Jill finished
“And by
going this weekend with her you´d find out?”
“Maybe”
said the two girls. Josh laughed
“So, that´s
the real reason you invited me?” he said with a serious tone
“No, no, no”
said the girls quickly, he laughed again at their shallowness
“We want to
get to know her… I mean she´s really talented, all her paintings are either
beautiful or really strange” Jill drank a sip of her ice-tea
“Yeah,
she´s –Maya hesitated- weird –she looked Josh´s reaction- what´s the deal with
her and gloves, even during the summer”
“Everyone
one of us in the art club is strange, Maya” Jonah replied, the girls giggled.
“Ok, ok, I
give you that but she wins the crown” she said
“All
strange?” Josh said
“For some
reason we all were very shy and lonely before getting in the club” Bryan
explained
“But tell
us, Josh, why does she use gloves?” Jill asked almost in a whisper. Josh hopped
he hadn´t made a face, he had remembered the time when he saw what her hands
could do, how her touch had killed a big tree, but he kept his composure, just
like that time, he had so many questions but he thought it wouldn´t help to
ask.
“Does she
have a scar? Sometimes she only wears a bandage and she´s been like that since
she came, right?” Jill added
“yeah, for
as long as I remember” Bryan replied, his tone bored.
“So, Josh?”
Maya prompted
“That´s one
more thing you´ll have to ask her if you dare” he half smiled with no humor
“Josh!”
Maya pouted, the boys laughed
“I don´t
know why you care about that” Jonah said.
“Josh you
have a twin, right?” Bryan suddenly asked. Josh furrowed his eyebrows
The group
had gone to the students’ common room which was a place where they could watch
T.V, movies, play video games, play table soccer, use computers for
non-academic purposes or just relax. It was a 3 story building designed for
students to socialize and one of the other places where boys and girls could be
together in the same place. This building, the cafeteria and the gardens were
usually filled with students. They liked it because it allowed the different
groups be together but at the same time be separated. The place had many spaces
that imitated a living room.
“Yeah” Josh
agreed
“I wanted
to confirm that, too” said Maya
“Well,
yeah, I have a twin, why?”
“Once I
said hi to you and you looked at me weird, now I know it was not you” Bryan
said and Josh laughed
“But you
guys are not like the other twins attached at the hip, are you?” Jill said “We´ve
never seen you two together, twins are usually found together”
“We’ve
never liked that” Josh wrinkled his nose as the girl giggled
“So you
didn´t wear the same outfits?” Maya asked with puppy eyes
“Yeah, but
once we could put our own clothes we didn´t unless we wanted to change places
or something” Josh checked his cellphone, he´d gotten a text.
“Leave that
movie!” Jonah told Maya who was changing the channels.
“You should
invite your twin to come too!” Maya said
“Ok” he
thought how unlikely it´d be to have Aaron and Nichole go to the same place
together or the small amount of chances that she´d go with the group to town.
He shook his head
“No! Maya
changed that! –Jill protested- we´ve seen that movie many times! you guys
always pick it”
“I don´t
want to watch a cheek flick!” Bryan said when Jill grabbed the remote and
changed it to a romantic-comedy
“Then leave”
she stuck her tongue at him. He narrowed his eyes and they started to playfully
fight for the remote.
Josh is finally interacting with people Aaron didn't stick him with. I like this side of him. I kind of always knew he was good with people. His personality is so natural and honest. Makes me love him more. He's also getting better at talking about Nic with others. Before he always seemed to be hiding something he might know about her when people asked. Now he just laughs it off and it seems like he just might not know anything.
ReplyDeleteI like the art club weirdos. They're cute. Just like those other kids Josh hung with in town a few chapters back.
I guess it would take weirdos to not think ill of Nic but to find her actions intriguing. Lol.
Nic - the popular girl who could careless. hahaha I love her <3
He´s friendly and honest, yes. Aww thank you for liking him. Yes, he´s gotten better, he had to learn something from her, right?
Deleteyeah! that´s why I made her get into that club, she can be comfortable there.
yes, she doesn´t care
