Jade
The following day the whole group decided to annoy Noah again.He's been getting more used to our lie.After practically threatening James's life if Xander gets hurt by this .
Right now the boys ,including Brandon are ordering for us while me Av ,Isabel and Bella are waiting for them.
Later they all aproach us ,with huge smiles on their faces.Our little sunshines.
"I can't belive you and James are a thing now"-Isabel says ,sipping on her coke.
Noah sends me a wink from where he's standing ,giving the guys their drinks.
"Belive it sunshine ,i'd say these two will last long"-Noah leans over the counter ,brushing a strand of blond hair behind her hair .
I give him a death stare.He shrugs and lights up a cigarette,inhaling then dragging out a smoke .Isabel winces slightly- and like a light switch -Noah removes the cigarette from his mouth ."Not a fan ?" -he glances at her -and the second she shakes her head ,he smudges the cigarette out on the nearest plate ."
"Sorry " -his lips turn to a small frown .I actually think my jaw drops .Noah -the dude who could scare freshman's off with a look -looking like a scolded child is a sight I'd never thought I'd see .
"Hell yeah we will"-James wraps his huge arm around my shoulders,and I blink ,gathering my thoughts .
"Ewww i just still can't belive this"-Avery covers her face with both hands and Brandon laughs ,pushing her hands away .
"I mean you guys hated each other a few seconds ago"-she gives me a pointed look and I swallow hard .Why does she have to be so good at reading me ?
"Belive it Aves "-i push a strand of hair off my face .
"I guess all that hatred was just a cover up of our real feelings"
"We just didn't realise it until now"-i explain .While lying through my teeth.
"I just hope this doesn't make things awkward"-Xander chimes in ."Im already both of your therapist and I am not looking forward to more appointments from either of you "
"Way to be supportive dude " -Brandon winces slightly ,patting James's shoulder and I would love to say I imagined it when I hear him whisper to him "Screw her over and I screw up your face " -with somehow still keeping that easy going smile intact.
James blinks ,nodding briefly .
Like I said -Brandon is one of the few guys I didn't hate even back in middle school .

James has gone batshit crazy .He's been talking nonsense about spending our first day together as boyfriend and girlfriend.He even brought his camera to take pics of our "cute moments" as he says.
For three hours we've been at every shop in the area just looking around.
James wanted to shower me with presents but i stopped him when he was buying too much stuff.After I got some cute dresses out of it first .Hey -i deserve it after all the headaches he puts me through.
He stopped at every bookstore we could find ,made me close my eyes touch a random book and swore he would buy it for me.Isn't that insane?
I don't know why he's acting like this.He's acting like this whole thing is real.If I liked a chick this much -she'd at least be aware of it - James's words call back in my mind and I run my hand through my hair ,forcing the idea out of my brain .
We stop at a jewelry shop which also had cute but simple bracelets.
James stopped bracelets with diffrent names on them and when he spotted one with my name he picked it up an put it on his wrist-stretching out his tanned arm through the window ."Perfect ".Then,he picked another one with the words James and put it on my wrist.
"What the hell do you think you're doing "-i turn to him ,my stare never leaving his wrist.
"Uhm this is the best way to make it official duh"-he rolls his eyes."Jeez -for someone who claims to be a love expert-you are deeply unaware of actual commitment "
"Okay ,you've gone absolutley insane "-i state
"I tolerated all the other stuff but this is just to much"
"It's not too much"-James argues -though gritted teeth .
"Do you want people to belive we're a real couple or not?"
"Of course i do"
"Then listen to me "- he pulls his phone from his pocket ,grabs my wrist with the braclet in it as he shoves his wrist in the camera too smiling widely and snaps a picture.
"Don't tell me you're about to do what i think you're gonna do"-i warn him -a finger raised in his direction.
He grabs my finger ,swirling it around before readjusting the jewellery on my wrist .
"Hell yeah i am"-he opens instagram and post the picture.Im gonna kill him .I don't even look happy in the picture ,i look like im planning to somehow choke him with the bracelet.No one's gonna belive that.
