Saving Aura

Six

"God, I'm so thankful for lunch!" Quinn says as we enter the lunch room.
"Me too. School is hard," I agree. We walk towards the lunch line and get our food, then sit down with the group.
"There you guys are. What took you so long?" Reid asks.
"A: Stop being so overprotective. And B: Bellini held me up and Aura waited for me," Quinn says.
"Hey! She's right about something!" Nick announces. Quinn rolls her eyes and takes a bite out if her burger. When I look behind me, I see a girl walking to us, with short, blonde hair and green eyes.
"Who's that?" I ask them. They just shrug it off and are all smiles whenever she sits down.
"Uh. Hi. I'm Victoria or Tori. I hope you don't mind me sitting here," she says shyly.
"Not at all," Nick says hazily.
"Shut up lover boy," Quinn says.
"Pishh,What? Nooo," Nick lies. Reid just smirks and I try not to laugh.
"Uh," Tori says and blushes and so does Nick.
"Guys! Help me with a ship name will ya?" Quinn says.
"Nori? Tick?" Reid suggests.
"What's a ship name?" I ask.
"When you put two people's names together, you ship them. See?" Quinn explains. I nod my head trying to understand the concept.
"I like Nori. Thanks Reid," Quinn says and tries to go back to her burger, but the bell rings.
"C-Can I carry your books?" Nick asks.
"Chee-sy!" Quinn sings behind them as she puts her plate away.
"Shut up," Nick snaps.
"Whatever," Quinn mumbles.

"They'll be together by tomorrow," Quinn predicts. Right now, we are sting in Reid's kitchen eating popcorn, but without Nick or Tori, since we just met her and Nick is just too embarrassed to look Quinn in the eye.
"I agree. Although, something about her seems weird. I guess I just don't trust her yet." I shake my head and take another piece of popcorn.
"Yeah, I understand. It takes a lot of trust to make sure someone doesn't reveal that big of a secret," Reid agrees.
"Makes sense. I mean, I didn't trust Reid and Nick with my secret until later. Of course they wouldn't understand," Quinn adds.
"She likes Cameron Zik," Reid blurts casually.
"Reid!" Quinn yells as her face turns a bright shade of red.
"That was so worth it!" Reid says between gaps of laughing.
"I'm gonna kill you Reid Virginia Marks!" She yells and starts running around the house, chasing him until thy run out into the garage. I follow them after that and we all get on to the skateboards and ride around the neighborhood, with Quinn chasing Reid, and me riding behind them.

And that's the way it should be.
