"Roxy" she paused "You have to tell everyone your secret." Lori said pointing a fry at me.
"What secret?" I asked playing dumb as I reached out to take one of her fries but she slapped my hand away and I held it pouting.
"You know what she's talking about Rox." Asher sighed as he took one from her and she didn't complain. I swear that girl is a sucker for him (insert snickering emoji)
" Guys, you're acting like I work at the CIA. Which I won't complain about anyway cause they're so cool and they work for the government-"
" Roxanne." they synchronized and I shut my mouth.
" Seriously, I don't just want any attention." I frowned and Lori sighed.
" We get it. No pressure or anything. But imagine what it'll be like if we were popular." Lori said, her eyes glistening with excitement.
" Yeah totally. We could do that thing where the three of us-"
" The four of us." Aiden interrupted.
" The three of us walk down the hallway in slow motion wearing flashy clothes and I throw my sunglasses at the crowd and they all reach out to grab it while still parting the middle and allowing us to walk leisurely out of the scene." I said in one breath.
" Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that head of yours, but I wonder even more how we are related" Aiden deadpanned.
" For the answer to your questions turn to page 371, article 21 and section 7" I grinned.
"And here you are making me question you more" he said and shook his head.
"Okayy, back to our original topic, even if you can't tell everyone who you are can't you at least write a romance novel?" Lori asked with puppy eyes.
"Ugh three words; cliche, sappy and ends the same." I said and gave her a dead stare.
"Those are five words." Asher pointed out.
"Thanks for the info genius." I said and glared at him.
"You're welcome." He said with a sweet smile and I responded with a dirty look.
"How about this. You write one romance book and I do all the chores for a month." Aiden proposed knowing I couldn't decline that offer.
"Yeah and I'll even let you borrow my comforter" Lori smirked. Ok just for the heads up, Lori's comforter equals epitome of fluffiness and impossible to deny.
I gaped at them "Really?" I asked not believing my ears.
"As real as Jesus" Lori smirked and held out her hand for Aiden to high five it which he obviously did.
"Wait a second. You don't even read my books Aiden. Why do you want me to write it." I said and pointed at him accusingly.
"Oh I'll make sure to read this one. Just wanna see how bad you'll screw up." He said with an evil grin on his face.
"Oh it's on." I replied with a wide grin. "So how do I do this? I don't know shitaki about writing romantic stuff." I asked genuinely concerned.
"Writing romantic stuff is easy, all you need is a main character" Asher said not really paying attention and texting on his phone.
Lori who had been thinking for a while suddenly spoke up."Asher you're a genius." She turned to me looking dead serious. "What you need is a muse." She said and clicked her fingers like she had just discovered how to cure world hunger or something.
"Wow two people called me a genius in one day. Good job Asher." We all gave him the look but ignored him.
"A muse?" I asked Lori and raised a brow.
"You know, inspiration, a guideline; a person who can do all that." She said excitedly.
" Uh huh. And who would that be?" I curiously asked.
" Not to worry my dear, dumb friend, I have the ideal person for you. Even better, he's in our school." She said squealing and clapping her hands.
"I like how this is going." Asher said and grinned.
"Me too." Aiden added, also smiling.
"I don't even know where it's going" I said and sagged my shoulders.
"Ugh. You know how in books the good girl always falls for the bad boy and ends up realizing he's not that bad after all and they ride away in the sunset on his super cool motorcycle?" Lori said all at once looking slightly demented.
"Um yeah?" I said and furrowed my brows.
"Well, who else is a better bad boy in our school than the one, the only drum roll please (cue the drumroll) Cole Jones!" She said with jazz hands.
"Okay let me get this straight. You want me to get up, close and personal with this guy and use him as inspo for the bad boy in my book?" I asked trying to sum it up.
" Don't forget potentially finding love on the way." Lori said winking.
"Ignoring that. But ain't no way I'm gonna abandon no chores and your comforter so let's get this show on the road." wow, this is exciting.
"Yeah!" They echoed earning looks but we all shrugged and laughed.
