Growing Up With Gay Parents

Ch. 4

  "What the hell is this shit?" Josh mumbled form beside me. I looked at him and rose an eyebrow.

"It's uh, it's called food." I said quietly, making Calum snort out a laugh from the other side of me. Josh rolled his eyes at me and looked over at me from his menu.

"You need to take your sass level down about 5,000 notches." He said with a nod. I rolled my eyes and looked at my menu. "I hope you're paying for my food because I don't have money."

"Are you kidding? My parents are paying for your food." I said. I turned to look at Calum and he looked back, raising an eyebrow. "What are you getting?"

"Chicken alfredo." He said. I folded my menu and put it down.

"I'm getting that as well." I said.

"Or you could get spaghetti and we could share." He said with a smile.

"That sounds good too." I said. Me and Calum always do this thing where we each get a meal and we split them half and half with each other. We've been doing that for a long time. I looked over at Luke and Michael and they were pointing to things on each other's menus. You know, as much as I hate to admit it, my parents are really cute. Ugh, did I think that? Gross. Luke then looked up at me and then at Calum.

"Are you guys doing that... Thing you do with your food?" He asked. We both nodded our heads and smiled at him. Ashton and Riley laughed at us. Luke rolled his eyes and looked back down at his menu.

"What thing do you guys do with your food?" Josh asked, looking at us. Calum leaned over me and I leaned back, not wanting his mini afro in my face.

"We both get a meal, something different from the other, but we agree on it, and then we just give the other half of it." He told him. "We've shared food since he was like, what? 6?" He asked. I nodded my head and looked at Josh. "I used to take him out to eat all the time, just me and him, like a guys day, and we would do that."

"He used to fucking spoil me." I said quietly. Calum snorted and looked at me.

"Used to?" He asked. "I bought you a new phone last month because you didn't want Luke to know you shattered your screen after having it for not even 12 hours." Josh rose an eyebrow at me, chuckling.

"Ok, so you still spoil me, whatever." I said, pushing him away from me. "Hey, where's Quinn?"

"She's on her way." Riley said. Ashton rolled his eyes and I gave him a weird look.

"She's out with Derek." He said seethed. I almost laughed but saw his face and coughed to cover it up. Josh snickered at me and I smiled innocently at Ashton as he glared over at me. "Have you met him?"

"I go to school with Quinn, therefor I go to school with Derek." I said.

"Do you like him?" He asked.

"To be completely honest, no." I said. Ashton looked at Josh.

"What about you?"

"I mean, I've heard of him, but I'm a grade above them so..." He trailed.

"What have you heard?" He asked. Josh bit his lip and looked down. "Please."

"He- Uh, he has had just about every girl in the school." He said. Ashton nodded and put his menu down, leaning back against his chair.

"You don't have to worry about Quinn." I said with a snort. My eyes widened and I covered my mouth really quick. Everyone looked at me weird.

"Why?" Ashton and Riley asked me at the same time.

"Did I just say that out loud?" I asked. Everyone nodded. Michael looked at me with a smile on his face, almost as if he was trying not to laugh. "Umm... Why don't we forget I said anything, because that wasn't supposed to come out."

"Hey guys." We all turned towards Quinn and she sat down net to Luke. He stared at her with his eyebrows furrowed and she looked up at him. "What?" He shook his head and looked back at me before saying something to Michael.
