[ chapter ten, just friends? ]
( episode three ; made you look )

— warnings: none

⠀"SO BASICALLY YOU'RE IN A LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP," Maddy stated, smirking as she glanced beside her at a very giddy-looking Cassie Howard. She and McKay had been together since the end of summer and, honestly, were a refreshing sight after all the other complicated couples surrounding them

"No, we like FaceTime every night," Cassie insisted, earning an amused and happy smirk from BB as she nudged the smitten blonde with her elbow

"Aw, that's so sweet. You guys are full-on in love,"

Fingertips meeting her forehead as her cheeks turned pink, Cassie shook her head, "Oh, my God. Stop!" Smirking at one another, Maddy and Brooke remained unconvinced as Cassie insisted, "We are not in love. But he did invite me to spend the weekend with him,"

"Like, the whole weekend?" questioned Maddy

"Yeah, like Friday and Saturday night,"

Surprised, Inez leaned towards Cassie, elbow on the table as her cheek rested on her palm "Wait, is your mom gonna let you go?"

"It doesn't matter," shrugged Cassie, "I'll just kill her in her sleep if she doesn't let me," BB and Inez glanced at one another in amusement, knowing Cassie would continue to deny as BB remarked,

"Sounds like true love to me,"

Laughing in agreement, Maddy gripped Brooke's arm tightly, staring with mocking and exaggerated love as she put on her best Cassie impression (which, to be honest, was just her making her voice sound higher), "Oh, Mckay, sweep me off my feet and drive into the sunset with me!"

"Oh, Cassie," Brooke leaned forwards, forehead meeting Maddy's as her voice dropped as low as it could, "I love you so much, you're the girl of my dreams! Kiss me!" eyes darting to her lips briefly, Maddy looked taken aback, only for a moment. And only long enough for Brooke to notice, before she covered hers and Brooke's faces with her hand, exaggeratedly moaning and making kissy noises whilst leaving it obvious enough that they weren't actually kissing.

Shaking her head, although unable to hide her amused smirk as all at the table but Kat, being glued to her phone, giggled at their impromptu performance, "I fucking hate you both,"

"Not as much as you're gonna hate your mom if she says you can't go," quipped Inez, although Cassie only scoffed as she replied

"Whatever. She can't stop me,"

The rest of the conversation sort of drowned out for Maddy and Brooke. Because, nudging at one another's legs under the table, their show of affection had been more closely intimate than the two girls had been for a very long time. And, joke or not, Maddy hadn't realized how much she missed Brooke's touch. The way Brooke knew how to be gentle with her, and rough at the same time. And she tried her best not to let her expression change when Brooke's hand brushed the outside of her thigh, or when she made eye contact with Nate sitting four tables away on the other side of the cafeteria.
