"That test was awful!" Jace says in a disgusted voice, "It's like she is trying to kill me!"
"Don't be so dramatic" I say to him while walking out of the classroom and towards the lunchroom.
"I'm being serious!" he yells at me and starts pouting. It's kind of cute actually, how he sticks his bottom lip out making it all red and his forehead scrunches up like it would if he were frowning
"I'm sure you did fine. Look at it this way, you did better than Zack did" I tell him as we walk through the doors and to the back of the line for food.
"Zack isn't here today" Jace says with a confused look.
"Exactly." I grab my food and say a quick thank you before Jace and I skirt around people and I make our way over to our table. As we get closer, I realized that there are more people occupying our table than usual. Luka and Anakin, who are sitting at the end of the table where Jace and I usually sit, are talking to Makayla.
"What's up? I ask the three of them as I sit in the empty seat next to Anakin.
"They're gonna come to the mall with us later, that's cool with you right?" Makayla says to me with a slight pleading look to her face. Knowing how close Luka and Makayla are, I agree to let our girl time be interrupted, also knowing that Makyala must want Luka to be a part of his date preparation.
Not really knowing why Anakin wants to come, I turn to him and ask, "Why do you want to come shopping with us?" while lifting my eyebrows and smirking at him.
"Oh don't look so smug, I don't like you that much" he teases. "I'm sleeping at Luka's tonight and have nothing better to do after school so I might as well hang out at the mall with you guys."
"It's good for us too!" Makyala pipes in excitedly, "Now we don't have to carry our own bags, they get to do it for us."
I smile brightly and give Makayla a high five while yelling "score!"
"Hold it right there" Anakin says, halting our cheers. "I will carry your bags on one condition" he says.
"What's that?" I question.
"You try on some sexy outfits for me buttercup." With that, he gets up from the table, shoots me a wink and saunters away without looking back to see my jaw on the floor.
"Think you got enough stuff?" Luka humphs as he drops all the shopping bags he was holding on the floor next to the front door.
"I still think Mary should have gotten that dress." Anakin says with a cheeky smile.
"Your an ass!" I yell as I smack his shoulder.
"OW" he whines. "You could have at least tried it on" he says while rubbing his shoulder.
"That thing shouldn't be considered a dress!" I screech out. "It was bright red and fishnet! It would leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!"
"I have imagined enough, I wanted the see the real thing" Anakin mumbles.
"Okayyyyy, why don't we go watch a movie" Luka says, trying to change the subject.
"Sure" the three of us reply. As we start walking towards the living room, Makayla and Luka look at each other and smile before running ahead of Anakin and I.
"What the heck" Anakin says to me. "I've got no idea" I reply, not knowing what the two of them were planning until we walk into the living room. Sprawled on the big couch are Makayla and Luka who are sitting there with huge smiles on their faces.
"Oh come on!" I groan, realizing they did this so that Anakin and I would be forced to share the tiny couch that can fit like one and a half people.
Anakin jumps onto the small couch and lies down, blanketing the entire thing with his body. "Come on over" he says to me. I walk over to the couch and stand over him, waiting for him to sit up and make room for me. The opening song of the movie comes on so Anakin reaches out and pulls my by the waist. Not expecting this to happen, I fall over and end up sprawled out on top of Anakin's body.
I start to try and wiggle out of his grasp but Anakin just shushed me and turns me around so that my back is to his front, his arms are locked aorund my waist and his chin is resting on the crown of my head. Knowing I'm not winning this argument, I stop squirming and let my body natural melt into the hard ridges of Anakin's front.
As soon as the end credits roll up on the screen, Makayla jumps up from the couch and announces, "It' time for girl time. Chit chat in bed about guys, clothes and our periods!"
"Ugh gross!" Luka says with a disgusted frown. "I didn't need to know that."
When I try to sit up, I feel a solid arm snake under my knees and at my lower back before I am lifted up off the couch and cradled into Anakin's arms.
"What do you think you're doing?! Put me down!" I scream at him while snaking my arms around his neck, ensuring that he doesn't drop me on my ass.
"Bringing you to bed" he says in a 'duh' tone and starts towards the steps. Makayla runs in front of him when he gets to the top of the steps so that she can open the door to her bedroom for us. Anakin walks into the room and over next to the bed.
"Hold tight" he whispers in my ear before shuffling me so that only one of his arms are supporting my weight while the other one reaches out and pulls the blanket down enough for a body to fit in. Anakin then proceeds to lay me down on the bed, and pull the covers up so that I'm all tucked into the bed, all without moving enough that I would have to unclasp my arms from around his neck.
Not once since he set me down on the bed has our eye contact broke. His eyes are sharp and the most vibrant shade of blue I have ever seen them. "Night Mary" he mutters before giving me a chaste kiss on the forehead, standing up causing my arm to slip from his shoulders, and walking out of the room.
Makayla and Luka stand on both sides of the door looking out into the hallway after him with stunned faced. They both stand there staring for a good ten seconds before snapping out of it.
"Well okay then" Luka says with a laugh while shaking his head. "Goodnight girls" he says as he walks out of the room, shutting the door after him.
As soon as the door is closed, Makayla whips her head around and gives me a "you're telling me everything' look. Not wanting to go through this, I grasp the end of the comforter and pull it up high enough to cover my face.
"Oh no you don't!" Makayla yells as she stomps over to the bed and wrestles the blanket off of me. Once my face is revealed she jumps onto the bed beside me and says, "tell me what the heck that was and what is going on between you too!"
"Nothing" I mutter, trying to dismiss her by turning my back to her and closing my eyes like I would to fall asleep. Makayla lets out a big sigh and turns off the lamp next to her bed lying down with her back to mine and drifting off to sleep as well.
