Chapter 37

Ameeriah

Me and Jackson are heading over to Max's place to eat some dinner and so I baked a batch of cookies.
Jackson picks me up and we head over to their place off campus.
Surprisingly, Adare and Wes decided to come with us too.

"Can I have a cookie," Jackson whispers to me.
"Yeah hang on," I say as I take the red tupperware top off.

I hand him one but Wes snakes it from him as soon as Jackson grabs it.

"Fuck you," Jackson says as he grabs another cookie and watch Wes stuff the other cookie into his mouth.

"Really good Ameeriah," Wes mumbles with the cookie all in his mouth.
"Thanks," I laugh as Jackson knocks before opening the door to Max' apartment.

"Hey losers," Max says as we walk in.

Right after we walk in, Elijah and another guy walk in.

Jackson stands behind me and puts his arms around my shoulders.
He leans down to my ear. "You smell so good," he whispers.

"You smell sooo good," Elijah mocks in a squeaky voice as he walks by.
"Screw off," Jackson says in a laugh.

Elijah leans in a little bit. "She does smell good though. Jo come here," Elijah says and motions over to the guy beside him.

He starts to lean into me before Jackson pulls us away. "Okay get the fuck off her."
We laugh and then Max reveals what he "cooked."

"Fucking nachos?" Elijah says.
"I didn't have anything else!" Max says defensively.

We look down at the sad attempt of nachos which consists of chips, melted cheese and maybe.. chicken?
The other guy here with Elijah, Jo, takes a handful and nearly half the plate of nachos is gone.

We all take our disappointing mini plates of makeshift nachos and chat for a bit.
We stay over there for a couple hours, chatting and watching an NHL game, the New Jersey Devils vs Anaheim Ducks, before we start to head out.

Immediately when we walk out and the door behind us shuts, Jackson pipes up. "So where are we going to eat?"
We laugh because Max's "dinner" was quite underwhelming.

"I'm fucking starving," Wes sighs.
"Me too," Adare kinda laughs.

"Let's go to Rocky's" Jackson says.
"That new pizza place?"
"Mhm," he nods his head with a smile.

Pizza does sound really good right now. And plus I'm starving because three and a half stale chips didn't really hit the spot.

We pull up to the pizza place that's loud with people and has red LED signs lighting up the place.
We find out way to a booth and order two pizzas. Two pepperoni, and the second pizza is half pineapple for me and Adare.

We place our orders but I'm sure it's gonna take a while because there's a lot of people here.

"You guys are fucking disgusting," Jackson says as the waiter walks away, right after I order half pineapple for me and Adare.

Without looking up, Wes kicks Jackson under the table while continuing to read the rest of the pizza options on the menu.

"Dude they ordered pineapple," Jackson says.
Wes looks up.
"Oh," he scrunches his face. "Yeah you guys are disgusting."

Me and Adare roll our eyes and we all chat a bit waiting for our food to come out.

"Serious serious question, like I actually need you guys to actually really really think about it because this is really important," Jackson starts, sounding so serious. "How long do you think you guys would survive in dystopian movie worlds?" He says and patiently waits for our response.

"I knew some dumb shit was gonna come out of your mouth," Wes sighs as soon as Jackson finishes talking.

"Answer the question Wes," Jackson says.

Wes closes his eyes and shakes his head slightly, then opening to look back at Jackson to almost ask are you serious?
He then takes a defeated sigh. "Okay which worlds are we talking about?"

Without missing a beat, Jackson says, "Dude the big three. Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner."
"Divergent I'd live cause I'd pick Erudite, Maze Runner I think I'd make it and for Hunger Games I'd probably be killed off like mid game."

"I think I'd either make it all the way to the end in Hunger Games or be the first motherfucker killed off so," Jackson replies.

"Second option," Wes mumbles.

"I think I could win Hunger Games just by hiding most of the time," Adare pipes in.
"I was just about to say that," I laugh agree.

"Divergent I would absolutely live cause I'd just pick the Amity farms, who wouldn't wanna live there," I say. "And Maze Runner, I would live just for the simple fact that I wouldn't have left in the first place."

"Yeah I would have been fine in that little confined space," Adare says.

"Okay whatever, lame answers," Jackson says as he sits up. "I'd live in Divergent cause I would literally be a divergent—" but Wes cuts him off.
"Then you get killed first."

"Shhshut the fuck up let me finish," Jackson pauses. "I'd definitely be even more divergent than Tris was, like I'd be like 110% divergent and like, probably just completely unstoppable so yeah anyways then with Maze Runner," he stops to take a break. "I'd definitely beat the fuck out of some grievers. They wouldn't even know what hit them. But for Hunger Games—"
"You'd win, yeah?" Wes says sarcastically.

"No," Jackson sighs. "I'd be like second killed in Hunger Games."
"Yeah you wouldn't last a day in Hunger Games," Wes starts. "You don't ever shut the fuck up."

Jackson

I'm arguing with Wes as our pizzas arrive and we all shut up to dig in.
It smelt so good and tasted even better.

I roll my eyes at the pineapple slice that Ameeriah grabs, but it evokes a smile to her, and I see her dimples and feel myself pause for a second to look at her in fucking awe.

After we finish eating, we're cleaning up our table.
"I'm gonna go to the restroom," Adare says.
"I'll go too," Ameeriah perks up and they both get up.

As they walk away, I find my eyes on Ameeriah, just gazing at her, which earns a scoff from Wes.

"And you called me whipped," he laughs slightly.

I don't even take my eyes off of Ameeriah walking. "I fucking worship the ground she walks on," I sigh.

Wes laughs a little as he takes a sip of his drink. "I know the feeling," he says as he looks over to Adare walking beside her.
