Red Flag

Chapter forty-one

The group walked down the street, looking for a place to have lunch at. Today's fun would start at night so they had all day to chill and do as they pleased. As they were walking all of the boys listen to Ryan intently as she was telling them a how her first fire went, all because Corey asked.

They didn't want to occupy all of the sidewalk so they were divided in groups of three. Corey, Matt and Ryan, who were holding hands as usual, and Evan, Wes and Elton behind them. The girl was good at projecting her voice so it wasn't  hard for them to hear her even though they were a fews steps behind.

"And so I'm halfway up a flight of stairs in a building that's on fire and packed with smoke, mid panick attack, and Hermann goes pass me, turns and goes 'didn't you wanna be a firefighter?' And goes up while I'm just dying seven steps below him" she says with a light laugh

"That's sexist" Matt said annoyed

"And what did Kelly do? I mean, you said he loves you" Corey asked

"He loves me now, but back then everyone kinda hated me. I told him I was having trouble with Hermann, cause he was treating me like shit and he said 'Hermann's an idiot, but know your place' and I was like 'an avocado...thanksss' you know?" She turned to Corey as he laughed at her vine of choice to quote

"And that's sexist" Matt said again

"But how did you get out of the building? cause they obviously didn't leave you there" Wes asked her

"I asked for help through the walkie, Kidd and Casey helped me calm down, up and then out cause I also had ran out of oxygen and almost died" Ryan told all of them

"Hang on, what?" Matt asked, pulling on her arm so she'd stop walking for a few seconds "where was Hermann while you were literally dying?" He asked

"He got to the floor I couldn't get to cause I was too busy hyperventilating" She gave her boyfriend a toothy grin

"And you didn't tell me this when I got the chance to meet Hermann cause...?" The blue eyed boy asked

"One you're not a violent person, I want to believe and remind you, while I'm at it. And two, if the idea of punching Hermann even sparked in your mind, you wouldn't have just punched him and walked away, you would've had to face an entire station of male firefighters" She explained to Matt as if he were dumb "this beautiful, fucking gorgeous, pretty face of yours Matthew?...." she pointed at his face with all of her free hand

"Mhmm?" He nodded for her to finish

"Ashes. Dust that even Ironman wearing the infinity gauntlet wouldn't be able to restore." she said

"So little faith you have in my fighting abilities?" He pouted at her

"No, I know you're a great boxer. But my station would beat your ass" the girl told her boyfriend and then kept walking, dragging him along with her

"I believe her" the curly haired boy pointed at the grey eyed girl

"Corey!" Matt frowned at him

"Dude, she can pick you up bro!" The man back his argument up

"Not anymore" the blue eyed boy stuck his tongue out at Corey

"Actually, I haven't tried in a while" Ryan said, lifting a finger "I did lose weight but I've been working out at the same gym as you" she turned to her boyfriend "you've seen me lift, I'm your spotter Rife" she raised her eyebrows at him

"You have done hip thrusts with 255, that's true" he nodded at her "by the by, that's so god damn hot. Ah" he rolled his eyes making her blush

"Thanks" she turned away while giggling
