Choosing 13 | Johnny Kavanagh

chapter four

Johnny

  I dragged my best friend into the locker room until I saw Lilia walking out the gym.

  "What the fuck, mate!" Gibsie laughed.
  "Don't fucking wink at her." I said, Gibsie laughed harder.

"I guess you want me to not call her pretty too?" He said.

I looked at him firmly.

"Jesus mate, you're so jealous right now!" Gibsie nudged me.

"No, you don't call any girl pretty," I huffed out and put my uniform on.

  Gibs did the same. "Yes I do?"

  I finish putting on the clothes, "not Lilie." I slammed the locker door shut.

  "Why not?" he snickered.

  "Because she's mine," I said, without even thinking.

"W-what?" Gibsie choked up before he started laughing again.

  I had said that.

  Oh my fuck.

  "She's yours? You claimed her?" he says with a grin, "Kav's girl-"

  "She's not my girl!" I snarled.

  "You said it, not me!" He held his hands up in defence.

"Yeah, you didn't hear anything!" I picked up my bag and headed to the doors.

  "Tell Macy then," he noted, following up behind me.

  "Tell me what?" Macy asked, coming up behind me and looping her arm around mine.

"Kavs thinks that Lilia is pre-"

"Gerard Gibson, I didn't say anything," I sighed.

  We kept walking toward the common room.

  Macy frowned.

  "You said shit!" He chuckled.

Macy pulled me behind, letting Gibsie go in first.

  "I don't like her," she muttered, her eyes on her feet.

  I sighed, "Macy, she's been here three days, you don't have to worry."

  "But the names you call her," she pleaded, "and the way you two talked-"

  "I didn't say shit, Macy," I reassured her, I let myself lift her  chin up and kissed her for a moment.

  What am I doing?

  We pulled away and went back in.

"There are our lovebirds!" Isa giggled as we sat down.

We started talking about homework, the party at my house and any other shit before Lilie and her boyfriends walked in.

They were walking towards us, she had Josh Night's arm slugged around her shoulder, her smile wide.

  "You are not, Kenji," Wes glanced at Shannon.

"Make it obvious, Bennett,"  Josh  laughed.
 
  "Not now," Kenji groaned back and handed something to Lilie, "give it to her," he said as they walked to the counters to grab food.

  "Coward," she called back, "You're doing great, Lilie girl!" They shot back, laughing.

  Lilie turned pink and I snickered.
She stepped forward and placed a note on the table, "you're Shannon Lynch?" She said.

Shan nodded wryly at her.

"Okay, run it," Lilia replied.

"What?" Shannon whispered.

Lilie shrugged and smiled.

I nudged her ankle slightly to catch her attention, but she looked down and said, "the fuck Kav?" and kicked me back.
"They're calling you that?" I mumbled, as a reply, she kicked me harder.

Some laughed but others looked confused, "Lilie, we did not come here to beat up Kavanagh," Ethan said.

"Everyone calls me that, Captain," she salutes and laughs, walking away.

  "I like her, Johnny boy," Hughie chuckled at her.

  "She's got something to her," Claire grinned.

  "I told you, I think she's the only girl who's talks to him like that," Gibsie said.

  "It's low-key entertaining to watch, in the gym earlier, wooh!" Claire and Shannon laughed.

  I rolled my eyes.
  

"Lizzie, you're not coming?" Macy asked as the girls walked towards us.

  "I have more things to do-" the viper said.

  "Just come, have fun Liz." Hughie said softly.

"Fine!" she sighed, Lilie smiled . 

Olivia Addams was looking between my friend and hers, "can you drive Liz, we need to change," She said.

"I thought we were going to carpool!" Josh shouted over.

"I can't drive anyway!" Young said.

  "How about we slip, and meet at ours?" Isa suggested. 

  We agreed and slipped into four cars.\
