My enemy since childhood

Chapter 88

Hand in hand, Thomas and i entered the dragon's nest. I didn't realize i was holding my breath until my head started spinning.

"Over there" Thomas said nodding towards the table closest to the windows that i had been sitting at just an hour ago.

Everyone was waiting for us, or if they were waiting for us in particular it was hard to tell, but the gang were still sitting there looking as grumpy as the last time i saw them. Sure, i had met Dylan this morning with a naked show. I had just met Jake, Will and Brooke, they were in my class, but i hadn't seen Kylie and Lizzy since yesterday. I guess it was luck, i felt the irritation and anger rise in my body just by seeing Kylie.

"I'm going to buy coffee" i said shortly as Thomas sat down at the table.

"Can you buy me some? Just tell me how much it cost" Thomas said smiling.

"It's okay, i offer" i said with a laugh and turned around.

"You guys are already like an old married couple" i heard Jake mutter so i rolled my eyes as i walked over to the counter.

I still couldn't understand why Jake was so mad about me and Thomas being together. It wasn't exactly like we had anything going on between us. Was he angry because he now thought i was going to take Thomas away from him? oh my god, talk about bromance 2.0.

When i got to the counter i ordered two coffees and waited patiently while the girl who i think is in third grade science prepared two mugs. Even though i bought two mugs of coffee for me and Brooke a hundred times, it felt a little extra special now that i knew one was for Thomas. So fucking stupid, i know, but i didn't care.

"Was it something else?" the girl asked curtly, tossing the coffee mugs into my hand. Uh, what the hell?

"No" i mumbled giving her a questioning look before turning around.

I shook my head slightly when i was walking back to the others, was i imagining it or had she been deliberately bitchy to me? i mean, what the hell had i done to her?

When i got to the others i gave one of the mugs to Thomas who wrapped one arm around my waist so i fell into his lap.

"Thanks love" he said gently, sipping on the coffee.

"Do you know her standing at the counter?" i asked so that everyone turned their eyes there at the same time, smoothly, very discreetly, i thought and rolled my eyes.

"Isn't she in the third grade?" Brooke said, meeting my gaze with raised eyebrows.

"She does, it's Rebecca" Jake said with a smile.

"Rebecca? Is it someone you know" i asked and turned my gaze to Thomas who just shrugged.

"Know and know is an exaggeration, or what do you say Thomas?" Jake continued, giving Thomas a challenging look. Okay?

"Uh no, i don't know her" Thomas mumbled and cleared his throat.

"Why did you ask?" Brooke asked.

"No i was just thinking, she was mad at me and kind of threw the coffee mugs at me, i have no idea why" i said leaning back against Thomas shoulder.

It was quiet around the table except for Kylie's annoying tapping of her nails on the table. Oh my god, i thought, rolling my eyes again. Should it be like this from now on? uncomfortable and silence?

"Wait a minute" Lizzy started out of nowhere looking at Kylie who was just grinning.

"Yeah that's right" Kylie said mockingly.
