Setting Ourselves Up

Locked up

                                        Jade
It's been two days since Av's birthday and James still doesn't recall what really happened that night-and im still debating on whether thats a good or a bad thing .

Today he's returned to his usual charismatic self.

He texted me earlier sayimg he had an amazing idea regarding Av and Xander and I can't say i was that surprised when i saw him recording with a camera when i walked in.

"This will be great for your short film"-he simply said.I still don't understand his enthusiasm to help me -I mean it's not like he's getting much out of it .

Now im sitting in front of him at our favourite cafe shocked at how idiotic he can be .

"Why would you think that would ever work!"-i ask

"Because I'll tell Xander i have to tell him something in secret so I'll ask to meet up close to the janitor's closet ,he'll trip on the cord and end up inside"-I blink at him ,not believing he can actually be this stupid .

"And how do we get Av in?"-i question,somehow actually considering this.

"That's something you need to worry about ,little girl"-he points at me with the spoon he was eating his dessert with.

"Don't call me little girl you sound like a phedofile "-i push his spoon down.

He laughs and i can't help but let a low laugh slip  too.He has one of those ugly contagious laughs okay?

In this moment a hundred song lyrics pop up in my head ,which I chose to ignore.

"I don't think this will ever work,but i guess it's worth a try"-i say with a sigh

"Yess !"-James slams his fist on the cofe table and i look around embarrassed.
A woman is looking at him with concern.
"Im so sorry ,we forgot to give him his meds today"-i actually say to her with an apologetic look on my face .She nods understandingly.

"Im offended ,Springs"-James puts his hand in his heart"I don't need my meds until at least noon"

I smirk at him.

<33

It's our free period and by free period i mean its p.e .So that basically means free period in my mind.

I aproach the famous closet James was talking about and i see him "talking " with Xander.He spots me and winks at me and waves for me to come over.

I aproach the two boys ,confused.

"So Jade do you have any solution about Xander's smelling problem?'-James turns to me,eyes slightly wide and i immediately catch on .

"I do not have a smelling problem"-Xander walks close to James angrily "I mean who even said that ?You guys all know my uncle brings me his best perfumes from"-i dont bother to listen to the rest of his rant while  James just smiles.Xander is close to the cord .Too close .But then-in two seconds - he pushes James which cause him to almost trip and before i know it a hand is holding onto my arm .

"Don't let me go in the dark Springs!"-James is holding onto me for dear life and it's not even a few seconds until we're both pulled in the dark closet.
Great ,this is just great.I huff ,brushing off my pants as I send James a glare im not sure he can even see .

I hear laughter from outside.
"You losers are stuck ,this door doesn't open from inside"-Xander yells.

"Well then you open it idiot"-James yells back.I close my ears because he's basically yelling in my ear from how close we are in this tight space .

"I could ,but i would rather let you to bond for a few minutes"-and then all i hear is fainted footsteps.No nonooooo.

This cannot be happening.

"Xander if you don't get back here !"-i yell
"Xander!"-no response.

Well i guess it's safe to say we're fucked.

A few minutes pass and I decide that I can't handle James's awful singing on my ear anymore as I punch his arm ,sighing.

"Im sorry ,is my admirable voice bothering you ?"-he turns to me ,causing us to be even fucking closer .

"Your existence has been doing a decent job of that for years already "-I retort sharply .

He swallows hard ,an uncomfortable laugh escaping him ."Jesus Springs "
The look on his face almost makes me regret my words .Almost.It's his fault we're stuck in here okay ?
