"jacket"

"Congratulations!" Bill and Freddie yelled as the Cricket Crew passed their group as they all exited the school. It was the end of the day and like usual the group were walking out to their spot to wait for the others.

There wasn't a particular reason, there wasn't a party or a sleepover, they just did this every day. Even if Clay and Willa weren't talking or in one of their feuds they would still do it.

So as Willa shivered next to Nick and Carver, Clay saw and didn't think twice about running to his car. None of the friends noticed until he was walking back.

George smirked when he saw what was in his best friend's hands. He nudged Will who immediately looked. He chuckled and turned to his twin. Wrapping his arm around her shoulders just before Clay could reach them.

"You look pretty cold there Wils." He teased. She rolled her eyes pushed him away, "No shit Sherlock." She muttered as she wrapped her arms around herself. "Why didn't you bring a jacket?" Nick asked. George smirked, "Because she left it," he said. Everyone turned to him with a confused look, he laughed and motioned behind them and they turned.

And like clockwork, Clay had just reached them and draped her jacket on her shoulders. Willa jumped a bit but turned to see Clay and she huffed. "You scared me." she grumbled. Clay chuckled and shrugged, "I didn't mean to but now you aren't cold now." He said.

Willa chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully. "Thank you." she said as they led the group to the parking lot where their cars were waiting. "Wait how did Clay have your jacket?" Maddy asked. Niki giggled as Jimmy laughed, "Isn't it obvious babe?" he asked.

Maddy sent him a look adnd he gulped, "Of course you wouldn't ask if you- She left it in his car." He said. "Bingo." Clay said as he leaned on his car and smirked at Willa playfully.

She rolled her eyes and the others laughed, "And you didn't think you would return it to me this morning?" she asked. Clay laughed and pushed himself off the car and leaned forward, crouching a bit so his face was ever so close to hers.

"Then I wouldn't have been romantic when I gave you your jacket earlier when you were feeling cold." He said. She hummed, "I didn't know you could be romantic." She said as she crossed her arms.

He laughed, "I can be more romantic if it meant for you to finally fall for me." he said. It was as if in her head, something clicked, her lips parted in realization.

She raised her eyebrow, "Well then I'll have to pick up the game then." She said back. Clay moved back and sighed, clearly he slipped up again. "Baker-" "It's fine. We're good." She said and smiled.

She turned to say goodbye while Clay stood there with a frown. "And you had to bring up the bet." Nick said as him and George stood next to each other. "You gotta stop that." George said.

He scoffed, "You don't have to tell me anything." He said. "I won't when you keep doing that to my cousin." George said as he rested his arms on Clay's open car window as he sat on the driver's seat and Nick jogged to the other side to sit in the passenger seat.

"I'm sorry okay." Clay said. "Not to me." George said motioning to Willa who was talking with Eret and Elaina. "I'll do it tomorrow." He said.

George sent him a look and shook his head, "Don't mess up anything else Clay. You guys are good." He said and moved away from the car when Will called for him. "Time to go George no need to steal Clay from Willa-" "Shut up!" Willa cut him off making Clay laugh.

"Don't worry Baker! I'm all yours!" Clay joked as he stuck his head out the window as George walked to their car. Willa snickered but did the same, "I know you won't choose anyone but me baby!" she yelled making him stunned.

She laughed and sat back down in the car and the trio drove off leaving a stunned group in the parking lot. "One point to Willa."
