Choosing 13 | Johnny Kavanagh

chapter ten

Lilia

It's 8:30 in the fucking morning and the guys are already being weird. Josh just went into the bathroom with a girl while the guys are on the phone with Noah, his brother.
Don't ask me why, just let them be, I'm going to lose brain cells.
"Why am I here?" I mutter to myself, sitting cross legged doing homework on the floor by their lockers.

The girls were already in class but I have a free period with the boys. I don't know why Harvey dragged me out of bed when he knew that class starts later today, but here we are.
I bet they just wanted to see the girls before class, no it's actually hard to watch because they can flirt and it would be easier if they couldn't, makes it easier to make fun of them.

Although, girls are giving me looks like: why are you sitting with them? In this fucked life of mine, there's very few women who actually care for me, maybe girls don't like me because I'm always with their boys!

Ethan, Wes, Kenji, Josh, Jet, Louis, Atlas, now Johnny.
Even my own fucking brothers.
Maybe they are jealous that I have males' attention so easily , and the worst part is I didn't even ask for it. I just wanted people to like me...

I hear Noah over the phone, "he's a menace, isn't he?" Noah chuckles.
"Josh? He's having sex in a school bathroom, what do you think?" Harvey laughs back.

Josh didn't have the best childhood and grew up without a father, we met him in year 7, he was intimidating but had softened up to us in no time.

They ended the call just as Josh had just left the room.
I see him coming out of the bathroom with his tie pulled and his hair messy, "you really get the ladies out there, huh?" I say.

He sits down next to me, "yes, or Kav's crew," Josh smirks.
I ruffled his hair, "where did you go last night?" Harvey asks, they are sitting near us.

"Kav's." I say flatly, not bothering to lie, "don't ask."
The guys shrug, "just don't get pregnant," Harvey teases.
They snicker as I roll my eyes, "piss off," I point a finger at them, "don't tell anyone." they put their hands up.

"Alright."
Then, Johnny's friends walk over, Johnny is behind them talking to this blonde chick who's laughing at something he said.
"You guys do the homework for Maths?" Feely asks.

We all shake our heads, I look over Johnny and he's leaning against a wall with his hand on her waist, smiling down at her.
I have the urge to throw up and take her away from him.
What is he doing to me?
I can't be effective by this, I won't talk about last night because it was nothing.
It was just two friends eating pizza and watching a movie.

I pull my phone out to pretend to be busy on it when he comes over.
"Captain Perfect, how are we?" Kenji smirks, I look at him behind my hand.
Ohh you are so dead, Kenji Park!
Johnny chuckles, "uhh, I'm doing great!" he smiles.

I look back down at my papers, "they didn't do the homework too," Gibsie says.
"Really?"

I shift uncomfortably in my position until I stand up, shoving my homework in my rucksack, "I'm going out to smoke," I grumble, picking up my bag but then some guy calls out so I turn.

The guy looks like a man that would come out of a romance book, tall and brunette, "you're friends with Nessa?" he asks with a smile.

I nod with an annoyed expression, not at him but at the attention I have right now.
I don't answer, making him glance back at his friends then to me again, "uhh, give this to her," he hands me one of Nessa's books, I take it with a flat smile and turn away. "Um, my friend wants your number?"

I close my eyes as Johnny smirks at me, "no thanks," I turn to flash him the same smile.
"You won't regret-"
Some of the guys snicker, "I don't date."
Josh put an arm around my shoulder, "she would break you, Holmes," they chuckle.
I shove my friend off and walk away, nudging Johnny on the way, we both look back and I scoff.
