The Pulling

Chapter 2.

OOC: Hogwarts junior NAAHHH WHO SAID THAT

------------------------------------

Enzo's POV.

''You scared me! Or Enzo more like. I've been caught here too much with you to care.'' Jess went over and kissed Maxine everywhere on her face and giggled flirtatiously at her girlfriend. They were always in here doing...everything. Or more like each other.

''Well I could here you out there you were laughing so loud! Is that what we sound like?'' She had a moment of realization, before both of them burst out laughing.

''Hey Max.'' I say awkwardly. I never really became friends with Maxine, we were more of mutuals. But I never let that stop me from talking to her, since she was my best friend's girlfriend.

''Hey Enzo! What you two doing in here? And happy birthday big boy!'' She said playfully, looking me up and down before kissing Jess again. I roll my eyes, a bit embarrassed that they act like they are my gay mothers.

''You taste like vodka babe.'' Maxine rolled her eyes as Jess grinned and nodded. I shook my head, before brushing past them and heading out. They trailed behind me as some people stared at the three of us. We burst out laughing again, before running off to class as the bell rang.

----------------------------------

After class, we headed to our lockers, getting what we need before walking over the the outside benches behind the school. None of the teachers go here, because I don't even think they know about the benches and vending machines out here. Nevertheless, we sat down, and Max went over to the vending machines.

''Want more shots?'' She asked me, pouring herself one. I sigh, Jess was always the one to not care about school rules, I'm surprised she isn't expelled.

''I'd rather not get drunk in school.'' I responded, rolling my eyes. She gave me a mocking look as she took out the bottle and glasses, pouring herself a shot.

''Tough luck, I am.'' She giggled before taking shots and washing it down with more shots. Maxine came back and took the bottle.

''You are not having some at school you idiot! You know what happened last time.'' Jess groaned and put the bottle back in her bag. She didn't want them to take it, or else her parents would find out she stole it from them. But she's convincing, she'll just tell them it was my birthday, which is true.

''You having a party at your house?'' Maxine asked, tilting her head at me. I immediately shook my head while looking almost shocked Max would ask that.

''My mum would never let me have Jess over again. She's still mad at her for puking on our couch. I think one of the girls are hosting a party at their house? We can celebrate it there.'' I said, taking some of my water. We weren't the most popular at school, but Jessica was definitely the most popular at parties. Do I even need to explain it?

''I'll spread the word, I am the drunk gossiper of the school.'' Jess said proudly, before Max hit her on the back of the head. She flinched before laughing along with Max. I looked out onto the gate, feeling weary. I don't know why, but the trees and the forest just felt...weird. I shuddered before shaking it off.

''You deep in thought looking at the forest? We should go into it! It would be so cool, I've heard so many rumours of people's bodies found in there and wolves howling and stuff, and people say it's the werewolves coming back from hiding and stuff it's so cool...'' I tuned out Jess's rant, looking back into the forest. Something wasn't right. It's like I was getting...pulled in. but it isn't strong like...just a little. I sigh nervously before turning back to Jess, waving my hand to stop her from talking.

''Are you dense? It's dangerous, wolves are in there. We would literally be the bodies if we went in.'' I retaliated at her suggestion. She rolled her eyes, before taking out her wand.

''Did you forget we had these? I took a healing class, and Max took a defence class. We're fine! You're taking yours today since you're 18 and have to learn to defend and to attack others. And I can teach you some stuff!'' She said convincingly. Maybe this weird feeling will go, I don't know.

''It seems dangerous, Maybe after I take some offense classes. I'm planning on anyways.'' I mutter, before turning my head away. Jess shrugged as she took a bite of her roll. I groaned as I heard the bell, and we packed up and headed in.

----------------------------------

It was after school, and we walked to Maxine's house. I took in a breath of fresh air, before that weird feeling came back. It felt...stronger. I glanced at the woods, before forcing my eyes to look away. It may be strong, but not strong enough. I brushed it off and turned back to the girls.

''Enzo, I know you don't have any clothes but all is okay! I have some very gay flannels and jeans for you to wear if you want, though the jeans might not fit you since my thighs are so thick-'' I cut Maxine off. Right now, I don't want to know about her thighs. Clearly me and Jess were opposites on this topic, as she was looking Max up and down.

''Don't finish that,'' I paused, giggling before continuing. ''But thank you for the offer, I'll check out the tops Max.''

For the rest of the walk, we joked and had nice moments of silence in the sun. It was...peaceful. I liked being out here. The sky was bright, and we walked in the more greened area, with moss and the trees beside us. It was better here, as walking through the city was too loud and longer. Though, at night, it was a safe way to walk. The mossy line was shorter but could be dangerous. Wild animals, robbers, druggies, you know.

We finally made it to Maxine's house, and walked in. Her mother immediately heard the door, rushing to meet us as she smiled politely.
''Hello dear! You brought guests?''

''Yes, my girlfriend Jess, and my friend Enzo! It's his birthday.'' Max whispered and her mum jumped up. My expression went from happy to a little surprised, as I chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of my neck.

''Oh how delightful! I'll have to whip you up something before you all go! Happy birthday!'' She hopped around, moving back to the kitchen, getting out plates and cooking materials. Max pushed us up the stairs, into her room. She quickly opened her wardrobe, rooting through it before picking up a floral flannel and handed it to me. I took off my shirt, not caring that they were in the room I mean, they were super close to me. And lesbians. I put it on, and started buttoning it up.

''Oh no dear, let me button it!'' Jess said, before pushing my hands away. She unbuttoned the top few buttons and picked up a chain. Jess always called me names like that, like I was her child. I mean, I'm not far off from it, but I was the one baby sitting her with Max because she was always too drunk to think.

''You look like a fab lesbian! Jokes, but you do look good, right Max?'' Max nodded along, jumping. I chuckled, before sitting on the bed, trying to fix my clothes while the other two got changed into pretty little clothes. It was fascinating to see the masculine and feminine one in the relationship. Max was wearing jeans and a cute white flannel, and Jess was wearing a cute dress. They took out the vodka and passed the bottle to each other, as a 'little' pre-drinking.

''You better be able to get to the party first.'' I joked, before we headed down the stairs. Jess had the vodka in her hand, but Maxine's mum was chill about it.

''Here you go birthday boy! I made cupcakes! Take one before you go, and the rest you can take home tomorrow.'' She smiled, showing her cheek wrinkles. They looked beautiful. I mean, she is beautiful. She doesn't look her age at all, more like 20 years younger. Max's parents were the best, and thankfully she took after them.

''Thanks Ms. Shaw-'' I couldn't finish before she cut me off.

''It's Noelle to you, dear.'' She smiled at me, before handing the cupcakes to us and brushing us out. I waved at her, appreciating her kindness before starting to leave the house with the other two.

''Have fun! Don't get into too much trouble! I'll bail you out.'' She joked, before we set off.
