Boxer Girl

4. The Signs.

"Jace?" I asked, "of all the people it had to be Jace." I said chuckling as I walked with Selene in the festival to the food court.

After the second I saw my brother having fun with my friend's sister, I saw that it was not that bad, and I could cope with her, due to the times Johnathan talked to me about her.

Jace was surprised at first, as well as Selene. But then a grin grew on his face as he tucked me under his arm and introduced me to his 'future girlfriend'.

We had fun together all four of us, and once we rode a small roller coaster I asked Johnathan how come he never told me, to turn out that today he was supposed to meet him for the first time.

"I don't know. It just happened." Answers Selene as we neared the food court. I looked at her for a brief second, to find her blushing and staring at the ground, but a grin was on her face.
"You like him, don't you?" I asked out of the blue.

"Yes." I heard her saying faintly I could barely hear. This was our first conversation ever since we met, and I really would like if we could be friends. I might even be able to tell her my secret and share it with a female, of course after Jace tells her about himself first.

"Well," I started knowing I'm about to give a stupid speech next, "you like him, and I know he likes you, and I know I like you, and we can all like each other, and the whole world should like each other then." I said with so many stupid hand gestures of tossing my arms around us meaninglessly.
But then I stopped midway and asked myself confusedly, "what the hell am I doing?"

At that, both Selene and I bursted out laughing. I know I could be stupid, but seriously Maia! Not that much!

"God, you're hilarious." Said Selene after a few minutes when she was sobering from laughter. I was still laughing too.

After we sobered, I stared at my males as I raised them in front of my face and said in a mocking and bored tone, "I know, I know. Everyone tells me that." With a shrug. At that, I almost fell on the floor laughing.

"Are you two done? Cuz' I'm starving." A voice said from behind us as we were still high.

"I highly doubt that." My brother's voice replied.

Whispers sounded behind us, and before I knew it, I was on someone's shoulder, heading somewhere.
I tried kicking their back, but my laughter had gotten me limp, so I waited, knowing I'll eventually be down. And I was, set on the grass next to Selene by Johnathan.

As he sat on the grass next to me, I slapped his arm saying, "don't ever do that again." But was grinning.

"Yeah, right." He scoffed.

Out of nowhere, a brown sack was thrust my way, in it were sandwiches. I choose the cheese one, and dug in as the sack was thrust towards Johnathan by Selene.

The four of us sat under the shadow of a big tree on the grass for I don't know how long, bit the sun was no longer in the middle of the sky, and noticing that shadows were taller than objects, I knew it was after four O'Clock.

"I want cotton candy." I said as the idea popped in my head out of nowhere.

"Come on." I heard Johnathan say, "I'll come with you." And he stood up with me, leaving the lovebirds for some time for themselves.

I dug my phone out of my small bag, and sent Jace a text:

I like her. But now, she's all yours.
