Thats Not All You Are To Me|Hosie/Hethan|

Welcome To Mystic Falls High

Chapter 2

"My names Ethan" The boy said, smiling at Hope then finally acknowledging Josie "I'll be giving you your tour"

Hope quirked a brow at the boy before looking at Josie who was squinting her eyes. "What Is it?"

"Nothing" Jo whispered. "Im Hope and this is Josie"

"Are you two sisters?" He asked, looking at the two but not really believing his own question "What?!" Josie shouted "We are not at all related, not even 1%"

"Well, our parents did make out a few times" Hope mentioned with a shrug. "That doesnt mean anything!" Josie quickly clarified. "We're bestfriends" She added.

"Oh"

The boy nodded his head before walking around the school, he showed them the classrooms giving them details on them, then he showed them the football field before leading them to the Cafeteria.

"The lunches arent too bad but I wouldnt recommend them"

Hope and Josie both nodded, taking the information in. "I hope you decide to stay" He says looking at the auburnette. "Oh we intended on staying before you even gave the tour"

Josie looked between the two, noticing the way Hopes voice changed to a more flirty tone. The brunette cleared her throat "I think we should get going"

He smiled at the two "See you tomorrow"

"I think he likes you"

Hope laughed, it was more of an embarrassed laugh which Josie caught on to "No he doesnt" She denied. "During the tour he wouldnt stop flirting with you" Jo insisted "He likes you"

"Well I just met him, so.." Hope shrugged "Plus it wouldnt work, hes a human"

Josie, being logical of course wasnt going to encourage Hope into having feelings for Ethan so she just left it.

"We should go grocery shopping" Josie shrugged, looking through the fridge and finding it empty. "We can tomorrow, I'll order out tonight"

"Ooo, like what?" Jo turned around, coming face to face with Hope. Her eyes widened, both of them just standing there. "Chinese?" The auburnette suggested, taking a step back.

"I can live with Chinese"

Hope smiled, instantly warming Josies heart and sending butterflies into her stomach. She hated this feeling, oh how she hated it so much. Why cant she just have platonic feelings for Hope? Like the girl did for her.

Josie wasnt even sure if the girl was anything other than straight, shes only dated guys so far. And now shes making googly eyes at that Ethan boy, hes not even cute. And hes not her type.

"Babe!" Hope shouted, pulling the phone away from her ear instantly catching Josies attention.

Babe? Could this get any worse?! "What would you like on your to go order"

'You' is what Josie wanted to say, instead she just gave the girl her normal order, just to find out the auburnette already ordered for the both of them and wasnt even on the phone anymore. So she knew Josies order and she called her babe for no reason. Its not like that was the first time shes been called babe by Hope, even tho sometimes the girl calls her 'love' or 'baby'

But other than that its mostly 'Jo' or 'Josie' which she could live with even if the sound of her name rolling off Hopes tongue sounded like a goddess telling her to get on her knees.

"What are you doing?" Ethan asked, appearing out of no where. Hope jumped back, staring into the classroom she didnt want to go into. "Would you believe that I have a hall pass?"

He laughed "No, but we can both act like I believe you"

"That would be no fun" She sighed. "I cant go in there"

"Why not?" He took a step closer to her, looking into the classroom. "Its stupid" She laughed. "Nothing that you could say to me would be stupid"

She quirked an eyebrow, Ethan felt as if just that little movement could make him fall for her even harder. "Its the only class I dont have with Jo" She let out. "Jo? Is that the girl from yesterday?"

"Yeah" She admitted, her face softening a bit. "Well whats wrong with that?"

"Its just--I dont know, shes kind of what keeps me going, calm and stuff" Hope stuffed her hands into her pockets, now feeling very awkward about sharing the little bit of information she had given him.

He shook his head slowly, now wondering if the auburnette had feelings for that girl. But he wasnt going to ask, it wouldnt be fair seeing as he just met her the other day. He didnt even know her last name.

"I think, from what I've gathered that you're stronger than you think" He flashed her a smile. "You will do great"

He walked away, halfway down the hall when Hope shouted "Thanks Machado" To which he instantly turned around "How'd you know my last name?"

"I know how the internet works" She winked, laughing at his confused glare. "So, you're internet stalking me now?"

"Isnt that what everyone does now n days, unless I'm truley mistaken"

"Mmmmm, I dont think you are"

She giggled, finally opening her classroom door and walking in. "You're late, Marshall"

"Got lost" She lied.

After that class Hope ran into Josies arms, the warmth of the brunette soothing all her nerves and making her wonder what she was so worried about in the first place. "How did it go?" Jo asked, pulling away but staying close to the girl.

"It was good, I talked to Ethan" She shrugged. "Hes really nice and I found out that hes the Quarter back"

Josie gulped "Thats...good?"

"I think I might try out" She admitted. "Only to get more information on him, you cant trust everyone you see" She said, smiling at the brunette.

Jo looked down at the floor, feeling a rage she only felt when Landon and Hope kissed. Why couldnt she just blurt out how much she likes Hope? Why cant she share her feelings like Ethan, hes being open but not too open.

"How about I try out with you" Jo smirked, finding out that this would be the best way to keep an eye out for the two. And maybe be a buffer.

"Sounds great" Hope smiled, grabbing Jo's wrist and dragging her outside of the school. "Take out, again?" She asked the brunette.

"Yep"
