The click of the wooden chopsticks echoed as they all snapped theirs at once.
"Anyone care to explain what happened back at home?" Yastika questioned. She took a slice of ginger and laid it onto of the wasabi like a blanket. Both of them were silent. Natalie gazed at her sushi, the same way she gazed at the rainbow-hoodie-wearing-man.
"Ughhhhh" Emily croaked. "I just wanna be loved" she cried.
"What? You never say anything about love, let alone being in a relationship."
"Oh my poor child, what did they do to you" yastika groaned sarcastically.Natalie looked away from her untouched food.
And so did another person from the table next to them.
"Uhh Nat?" Em waved her hand in front of Natalie's eyes, but they were locked onto something. "Helloooo, earth to Natalie?" She pushed.
"Emily- look to your left." Yastika said softly. Right next to them sat a curly haired boy, a brown eyed guy wearing a rainbow hoodie and their awkward friend with a beanie. Emily being the stupid and socially awkward one waved over at their table.
"Hey there, welcome to my crib 😏"
she said in a joking manner.
"You're our new neighbours aren't you?" Said 'brown eyes'.
"It's more of the other way around" Natalie replied quickly.
"Well I'm Natalie. You are?"
"Karl" said 'brown eyes'
"Alexis, call me Alex though, or else my name would sound like a girl's name." Said the guy in the beanie.
"I'm Harry" 'curly hair' smiled.Yastika stood up the throw away her sushi plate. "Aw, I'm still kinda hungry" she sighed.
"Well I'm not, here take mine, consider this a gift from the future husbands next door" Harry chuckled.
"HAH- WOT-???"
"HEUH?"
*COUGH*
The girls replied with.
"Woah, bro we just met them" Alex cut him off.
"Finally, I meet someone with common sense" Emily admitted. Looking over at Alex she could see him creek a smile out. It wasn't enough to make her flustered though.
"I'm just joking with you guys, Karl can understand." Reassured Harry.
Karl looked very shy. He had his hands together and didn't seem to observe his surroundings. He let out a cute giggle which triggered his hand over his mouth.
"Whatevs, you're not that hot anyways" yastika confirmed while sliding his plate over. "BAHAAA-LMAO" Emily cried.Stunned by that response, Harry picked up his car keys and swung them around his index finger. "Well then, let's go, boys." He remarked in an cocky tone. "We still have a lot of unpacking too do."
Alex stood up and pushed his chair in. "C'mon Karl."
But Karl didn't move. He looked over to Natalie as she leaned her head against her palm. Karl took a deep sigh whilst standing and walking along to catch up to his friends.
"Wow. Cocky much?" Yastika said.
"He really thinks he's as beautiful as me" Emily joked as she flipped her hair for a dramatic effect. "Let's go home, once you're done"Back at home
" Oh Gosh, what was that." Emily said.
They stared outside where the boys started carrying in boxes and bags. "They need help, should we hel-?"
"NO." Yastika cut off. "He's pissed. He's so cocky, let him be that way. They don't deserve our help" yastika minded.
Natalie looked over at Yastika, of course she could tell that yastika was having mixed feelings. "You know what, let's help them I guess." Nat agreed. "Hah. 2-1, that means we help them move in." Emily remarked.*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Really? Again?" They all thought. The door slowly opened with a little help of the wind. All three of the boys stood there."Um, we heard you talking about helping us."
Natalie rolled her eyes "eavesdroppers"
she whispered.The boys continued their sentence.
"And I guess we could use some help." They admitted embarrassingly.
