Jericho Pt. 1

Morticias Pov

I placed an apple and water cup on my tray while listening intently to Larissa and Enids conversation.

"Now for example, on the last outreach day we were assigned places to work in Jericho. We got the same job but when I tried dropping hints about him taking me out he just said, " Enid cleared her throat and began mocking Ajax, "Oh, weLl ThAt WoUld be IllEgaL."

"Shit." She made a 'What' face that showed enough expression to say she thought that was stupid too.

"Yeah shit! I'm about to just move on to girls, I never thought it would come to this."

"I do not recommend. Bianca is so much more brittle and snappy this time around, I don't know what it is."

"My mom told me if a boy likes you he'll be rude to you. Ajax isn't rude to me."

"Well we're talking about Bianca here, who's not a boy. Also, treats almost everybody like her bitch. They hump her leg like a chihuahua." I added a small plastic plate to my tray and placed some salad onto it.

"Tell me about it!"

"Anyways, this is Morticia."

"Hi Enid."

"How do you know my name?"

"Lucky guess."

"Well nice to meet you, I'll uh talk to you later Larissa and Morticia."

"Bye." They awkwardly waved at each other before Enid sat down with her, assumably, group of friends.

"You got everything you need?"

"Yes." We walked away with our trays, Larissa scanned the hall for a table to sit at.

"Bianca is waving us over." I shared an uncertain stare with Larissa. She just sighed and dragged herself over to the table in the middle of the room.

"What do you want?"

"I want you to sit with us, duh."

"Why? You just called me a cheater three minutes ago."

"And I'm forgiving you. So sit down." She crossed her arms, basically daring her to say no.

"You forgive me? After all these weeks of pettiness?"

"If I repeat myself again you're not gonna like what follows." When she said 'follows' it sounded very similar to growling.

"Whatever Bianca." Larissa sat opposite of Bianca, I decided I'd let them talk alone.

"I'm gonna talk to some other people. See you later"

"Good idea. See you later Morticia."

I nodded and walked away quickly, Bianca's confronting voice in my ears. I didn't expect for a tall guy with hair parted in two ways to bump into me so abruptly.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry"

"What is your name?"

"Gomez." He motioned for my hand, I gave it to him and watched as he placed a tender kiss upon it.

"You?"

"Morticia Addams. Nice to meet you." I smiled sincerely.

"The feeling is mutual. Would you like to sit with me?"

"Sure." We held hands as we walked to a table near the end of the room.

"I hope you don't mind sitting alone with me."

"I'd rather sit with you than a room full of strangers anyways."

"Aren't I a stranger?"

"Well, let me rephrase. I rather sit with a stranger I like."

"Can I invite you to coffee in Jericho later?"

"I was going to head there with Larissa anyways so yeah you could tag along. I'm sure it won't take long to loose her."

"She's your friend already?"

"Acquaintance, yes. Friend? Not yet."

"I see. It must be hard to gain your trust"

"I've been told."

"After the Rave 'N I don't think it would be impossible to call Larissa and I your friends."

"I agree. I just really want to get Bianca out of the way. It's obvious she brings Larissa's mood down. Mine included, she's like a bee. She always comes back no matter how much you swat at her."

"You're absolutely right. Why don't we go right now? I don't have an appetite."

"Sure, I don't think I was going to eat anyway." We both got up, throwing our trays away.

"I'll be right back, wait by the gates."

"Of course" he walked away quickly, fixing his shirt collar as he walked.

I walked over to Larissa as she stood up, Bianca and her friends joined her.

"Gomez and I are going to Jericho, are you coming along?"

"Yes."

"I'm coming too."

"Why!?"

"Why?"

"Shut up Addams. I'm coming because I need new glasses and a new pair of shoes, wasnt that obvious?"

"Sorry Morticia."

"It's fine. Let's just go, I do have business to handle."

"Business?"

"Classified information." I turned around after Bianca gave me a confused look, Larissa simply smiled.

"I forgot something in the dorm, be right back." I quickly walked away.
