After math Maddox walks off in front while I wait for Oliver. Soon we walk over to the cafeteria with our lunches and I lead him to our table. As soon as we make it to the table, I see Maddox look over and roll his eyes when he sees Oliver behind me, then going back to his conversation with Caleb.
"Guys this is Oliver, he's new," I greet them with a smile, they all grunt back and continue with what they were talking about, and I motion for Oliver to take a seat next to me. I feel Malika nudge me, when I look at her I see her and Cecelia staring back at me with wide eyes.
"What," I whisper so the rest of the table doesn't hear. I knew they were about to comment on Oliver and the last thing I need is Mal making an inappropriate comment in front of my brothers about Oliver, cause they will flip their shit. My brothers are kind of on the overprotective side when it comes to men, and so are Spencer, Reese, and Maddox so you can assume how my love life has gone so far.
"he's so hot," Malika says in a less quiet whisper, making Spencer whos sitting across from her turn his head away from the conversation he was in and turn to us, raising an eyebrow before almost death staring at Oliver. I look behind Mal to Cece for help before she keeps going, but she just shrugs and nods agreeing with Mal.
"you're supposed to be helping me here Cece!" I say a bit louder. She just laughs lightly before replying with,
"I would but Mals right Jordy, and not only is he attractive he seems like a nice person." with that she stands up and walks from beside Mal to Oliver who smiles politely and starts a conversation with him. By the end of the break, everyone seems to be welcoming Oliver, well apart from Maddox and Spencer but they'll come around soon.
--------------------------------------------
Right as the bell rings for the end of school I rush outside straight towards Malika's black Audi, it used to be her brother Ben's, but he couldn't take it when he left for college so he gave it to Mal, not after a full lecture about how to take care of it or, 'baby' as he so proudly named her. only a few minutes later I see Cece and Mal walking toward me. I catch the sight of Maddox's jeep in the corner of my eye, a few feet away stood Reese and Maddox, with of course some cheerleader chicks they probably met five minutes ago.
Maddox's eyes gravitated towards me, now making eye contact with me, to which he just smirks and kisses the brunette in front of him before getting in the car still smirking. You would never think that Maddox and Reese were such fuckboys when you first meet them, they can be two of the most respectful people I know but sometimes they just aren't it.
When Malika, Cecelia, and I get to my house we go straight into my room, none of the boys are here so it's just us until this evening. We walk into my room and I automatically fall on my bed groaning whilst the girls just laugh.
"Soooo," Malika trails off. I motion for her to continue knowing that this conversation could go in any direction.
"Oliver Huxley, our beautiful blonde, blue-eyed angel, who just so happened to grace us here at colderwell," she inquired. I slightly blush thinking about him, we really got to know each other today he's a really sweet guy.
"What about him?" I know exactly what she's gonna say and she's not right at all. I mean is he cute. Maybe. is he smart? Definitely. Is he super sweet and adorable? Yes. But that does in no way mean I like him in any way other than a friend.
"oh Jordyn, even I can tell your thinking about more than friendships with that boy," Cece just plainly states while applying more lipgloss. I roll my eyes, I walk over to my desk and look in the mirror. No, I wasn't. was I? I mean I've only known him for like a day. Eventually, Mal and Cece drop the subject and Mal starts talking about her upcoming dance competition.
"It's nothing big it's just a ballet comp in a town about an hour down so you don't have to come if you don't want," she trails on slightly nervous, not really looking at us much. That's the thing about Malika, she's insanely talented and super confident until she actually has to perform in front of us. It's the only time she's ever nervous but she always kills it.
"What are you kidding! Of course, we are going, even the boys agreed to come." Cece jumps, seemingly more excited than Mal who simply smiles and changes the subject to the tv when she turns it to Supernatural.
After an episode and a half later we hear the front door open and loud footsteps clamoring up until they reach my door. We hear a knock that must have been Spence, he's the only one who ever actually knocks.
"come in," I giggle. The door opens to reveal all the boys who start walking into my room. Reese jumps onto my bed next to me wrapping an arm around my shoulder and relaxing on my bed closing his eyes.
"comfortable there are we?" I laugh as I cuddle closer to him for his warmth. the last to walk through my door is Maddox who looks at mine and Reese's feet not quite making it all the way and nodding his head towards us, to which I return slightly confused as to what's got him in such a weird mood. I look over across my room and find that spencer has taken Malika's seat on the sofa chair and she is sitting sideways across the top of him. My brothers and Cece are all laying on their stomachs looking up at the tv. Reese has fallen asleep with his arm still around me, the poor guy plays so much basketball and trains so hard, does him good though he's the best in the state by far, and Maddox who hasn't left my doorframe staring off into space.
The episode ends and since Mum is gonna be working late in the ER tonight, Logan offers to cook which we all agree to, my brother is a truly great cook I don't think he's ever made a bad meal. We all jump up and run downstairs setting up for dinner.
Authors Note
