mike smiled as he watched el from across the classroom. he got moved because they caused too much trouble together which el hated.
el gave him a look and a little confused smile. 'why you staring?'
he chuckled and shrugged. 'cant blame me, you're just too pretty. cant you read it?'
"i can," she held back a laugh, 'it's almost time,' she eyed the clock and he did the same before nodding and pulling his bag onto his shoulder.
"okay class is up—"
el was the first to get off her seat and to grab mikes hand on the way before shooting out of the classroom.
"what's the rush, babe?" mike murmured as she hummed, "hate school, you know the usual," she told him with a little smirk.
"let's go eat some food?" she asked him as he nodded, "sure, but i thought you were going out with that friend of yours?"
"oh yeah.." she huffed then smiled, "speaking of.. MAX!" she screamed and went over to her.
"el!" max screamed back as el let go of mike just to hug her.
"who's this," el eyed the man next to her in full disgust like how she greeted most people regardless then max went to introduce. "my boyfriend, lucas,"
"ah, the man i screamed on the phone at," el smiled widely and waved, "hi! this is mike," she pointed to mike who chuckled, "babe, i went to the bar with him,"
her eyebrows furrowed then she let out a small noise of realisation. "yay! so you two," she took both lucas and mikes hand then connected, "will have a little boys day and me and max can have a girls day."
"great," mike muttered out then eyed el's hand which still connected his and lucas's.
"don't get drunk again," el patted his cheek then grinned teasingly which made him roll his eyes and nod.
"love you," she kissed his lips quickly then tugged max away as lucas shouted an i love you to her which she did not return.
"you're mean to him," el told her as max gave her a look, "you're one to talk,"
"hey, i'm mean to every single person i don't know only. i ain't mean to tall ass cupcake over there," she pointed backwards with her thumb and a laugh.
max eyed her.
"okay, that was a little mean but you get the point!" el cried out as they made their way down the road and to the mall where they could eat at the food court.
*
"would it be bad if i wanted to order another set of food?" el asked as max furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, "of course not.. why?"
el lightly squealed and called the same waitress over since they decided to eat at a restaurant instead.
the food court was not it.
"can i have another cheese fries set with nuggets?" el ordered and the waitress nodded quickly and walked away.
el smiled to herself. she was so glad that she was now away from her parents and staying with mike.
she could eat freely.
she could do so without guilt either.
"bro it's like i have a baby bump," el laughed and held her stomach which made max laugh and do so too, "i think we ate too much,"
el hummed and shook her head, "no, i think it is just right," she sipped on her milkshake just as her phone buzzed.
eli: got home, mom and dad seems like they'll ask today.
