August's P.O.V
Melanie quickly dragged me out of the school, I could see people looking at us the whole time and some were confused others intrigued and amused. She stopped infront of some fancy looking car and unlocked it entering through the back pulling me in as well.
Still confused and embarrassed I gripped on to her shoulders and shook her lightly "what the hell was that?" She looked at me clearly unbothered by this.
"Typical behavior in our dramatic school..." She raised a brow "Ooh? Did your old school not do that?" I shook her again. How is this normal?
"No! What school does this?" She grabbed my hands and held them in their place.
"Well then Welcome to Harwool high! The one place you wouldn't wanna send your innocent children! And things are gonna be different for you new kid!" She removed my hands from her to lean against the door.
"Where to start-" "I know your the snake leader along with your cousin and Noah was the foxes. What I wanna know is what you both meant by claiming me by marking me?" She shrugged and leaned her body towards the front of the car.
"What it means is that I intend on wanting a beneficial relationship with you. You know hooking up or simply keeping each other company." She turned on the car only to roll the window down and turn it off again.
"A friend with benefits relationship? Why you look like the type to get with anyone you want to..." I heard her chuckle along with the sound of opening and closing things.
"Oh darling I surely can! But this is more personal..." She leaned back in her original seat holding a rolled up paper.... weed huh... "what do you mean by personal?"
She placed the joint in her mouth and took out an oddly shaped lighter. "In a way it gives the person more confidence, you know when that one person you never thought looked once at you wants you. It hot and fun!" Her voice was mostly mumbled as she lit it and took a long drag before releasing it out the window.
"Love seeing the confidence grow... the snakes mostly do that though we can be selfish! Some foxes might but ehh they do whatever.... want some?" She offered me her joint but I slowly shook my head.
"Nah I'm good.... did you have to do it here?" I motioned towards my neck as she continued smoking. "I could have... but I shouldn't that's more intimate..." She grinned.
"The neck! Best choice!" She laughed and shuffled through a duffle bag "here this should help." She handed me a random shirt.
"Miles carries a lot of extra shirts, just in case. Turtle necks help at hiding things..." She shifted to face me more properly "thanks...." She smiled gently.
"Anytime, but I now have a question of are you interested?" I looked up at her confused "what?" She leaned her face closer to me.
"Intrested in a little negotiation? Like I mentioned having people keep each other company in either talking or much more intimate company....." She hoverd her lips over my own as if waiting to see what I'll do or say.
"That's quite the intrest..." She slowly leaned back "it's only if you want darling. Consent is important for both parties and gender." She continued smoking again while I stared at her lips. Mostly shocked with myself for considering this enough to want to a agree.
"I mean.... wouldn't you want someone with more experience?" Her eye's widened slightly "that wasn't your first kiss was it?" I shook my head with a soft chuckle.
"No, I've had a girlfriend before but we've never been as serious for that!" She nodded her head and took a final drag before putting it out.
"Like I said darling, it's up to you and despite what you may choose I'll always find you intriguing!" She leaned toward me again "so I'm kinda hoping for it but I'm not pushy...." I looked at her and shifted my gaze to her lips.
"I'll have to get back to you with that but.... I'm highly considering it...." She grinned noticing my gaze on her lips. "Need some more convincing?" She leaned towards me her lips once again hovering over mine.
My face felt hot and yet I was tempted to go for it.... so I did. I carefully closed the distance from our lips and surprisingly Melanie was more gentle than the previous one. Her hands trailed up to the back of my hair and my shoulder pushing me against the car door.
She seemed to be the one to want control so I simply rested my hands awkwardly on her waist. But it didn't last as a loud knock was heard on the car window. It startled me as I jumped slightly but Melanie simply let out an angry groan as she pulled away from me.
"Miles.... you have the worst timing!" She opend her side of the door and I quickly followed after her slightly embarrassed. "Worst timing! I told you not to do this shit in my car! It makes it awkward!" She rolled her eye's.
"This is a work in progress and now you know how it feels!" Miles ran a hand through his longish brown hair. "That's fair-" he looked at me then back at her "Quien es el niño?" She looked at me then back at him. "My pending special friend!" He shrugged
"August!" I turned to the voice seeing Casey rush over to us "I've been looking for you- oh no...." She whispered out when seeing the others. Her eyes widened slightly while Miles made his way to stand next to Melanie who was smiling.
"Well hello there Casey! How's it been?" Casey looked at her slightly annoyed.
"Just fine... Better even!" Her eye's shifted towards Miles who looked at her as she spoke.
"That's great! Right Miles!" She nudged Miles harshly, as he let out a loud groan.
"Yes, of course. By why the hell did you do that?" She shrugged.
"I love doing stupid shit."
He raised a brow amused. "People too?" She slapped the back of his head more harshly.
"Fuck off! You do that!" He slapped her head back. "Tell that to my new friend!" "I fucking will! Watch me!" Casey simply sighed as she reached over to grip my arm.
"Let's head home...." I nodded my head and turned towards Melanie who was watching us now, trying to ignore Miles as he complained.
"Leaving already?" I nodded "Got to head home now, later you two." Miles waved lazily pulling at Melanie's arm who was smiling at me.
"Course! And don't forget my proposal! Later August... Casey." She spoke her name with a slight awkwardness to it. Casey didn't say anything just lifted her hand up as she dragged me away.
"You've been chosen to be her special little friend didn't you?" I nodded slowly.
"Yup...." She looked at me nervously "just be careful.... it's up to you I have no right to tell you yes or no but simply to say be careful of your emotions..." I nodded slowly again, to caught up in my thoughts.
"Yeah of course...." We walked to the car in silence, Casey was acting weird since seeing them well all three of them technically did. Why? And now what do I choose?
