Chapter 4: The Walk Home
~Nick's POV~
The rest of the day was great! Amelia was so perfect, er, I mean, the whole day was perfect. 'Oh thank gosh I'm not saying this out loud.'
"Saying what out loud?" Amelia asks. OH I FORGOT WE AGREED TO WALK THEM HOME.
"Er, nothing, I was talking to myself?" I somewhat stutter.
"You are such a weirdo! But you're a cute weirdo." She says as she ruffles my hair and does MY FLIRTY WINK. She learns fast, I've taught this child well. Just then, Maggie and Cayden walk up to us, holding hands and laughing.
"Ooooh, is this a new couple?!" Amelia squeals. Maggie and Cayden look at each other for a moment before smiling and turning to us, giving us a nod. Amelia goes ballistic, obviously.
"AHHHH OH MY GOSH! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!" all three of them laugh and I slightly chuckle.
Damn, I wish Amelia and I were together. Almost as though she reads my mind, Maggie turns to Amelia and I and says,
"So when are you two getting together?" Amelia and I exchange glances before turning to Maggie, as I shrug she pulls me aside and whispers,
"I know you both like each other, and if you don't ask her out this instant I'm going to ask her for you." I look at her and she looks 100% serious. I turn to look at Amelia, laughing with Cayden. 'What if she doesn't want to date me yet? Or ever? She's so perfect, I think I'd die if she said no.' YET AGAIN, almost like she reads my mind, Maggie turns to me and says,
"You got 20 seconds, pretty boy." I turn to Maggie and she smiles.
"Stop acting like you're so innocent." I joke and she pushes me, making me almost run into Amelia.
"Uhm, Amelia?" I ask nervously.
"Yes Nick?"
"I was wondering, if you maybe, would like to-" just as I'm about to ask, she cuts me off with a kiss.
"I would love to go out with you Nick!" we both smile at each other before I pick her up and spin her. This is so soon, yet so perfect.
We start to walk from school after getting our phones back from Ms. Carter and I realise something; we have NO idea where they live. I stop, and because Amelia and I are holding hands, she jerks back.
"What are you doing you goof?" she laughs at me.
"We don't know where you live!" I exclaim.
"AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE LEADING YOU DUMBO!" Maggie screams from about 5 meters in front of us. Oh right, I forgot, of course THEY know where they live. I chuckle as Amelia pulls me ahead.
After about 10 minutes Maggie tells us we're halfway there and I sigh. Amelia, being Amelia, jumps on my back screaming,
"FORWARD MY PRETTY BATTLE OSTRICH!" I run forward and see Maggie jump on Cayden's back, telling him to go forward. What freaks we have as girlfriends.
As we get to Maggie's house she asks her mom if we can stay a while, and to my surprise, she says yes.
As the girls drag us downstairs we sit on the couch and they sit on the floor in front of us, headsets on and controllers in hand. We watch for a while as they kill their opponents in Black Ops 2. With an insanely high Kill/Death Ratio. Maggie's at 50/5 and Amelia's at 55/6. Man they're good!
Feeling as though we have nothing else to do, Cayden and I each start to braid our girlfriend's hair. As their match comes to an end, Maggie starts screaming,
"YESSS! FINAL KILLCAM FOR THE WIN!" standing up and immediately being pulled back down, ya know, because Cayden was doing her hair...
"OUCH, WAIT, YOU CAN BRAID?!?!" Maggie screams again. This girl needs to CHILL.
Cayden pulls her onto his lap and laughs,
"Yeah, we both have sisters who taught us, EVERYTHING. But babe, remember, indoor voice." as he finishes his sentence Maggie jokingly punches him in the chest. Playing along, Cayden falls to the ground.
"I'M HIT! OH GOSH. TELL MY MOTHER... I... LOVE... HER..." and with that comes his fake death. Followed by Maggie sitting on his stomach.
"Babe... Can't... Breathe..." Cayden says, with a loss of air. Maggie stands up, acting extremely offended.
"ARE YOU SAYING I'M FAT?!" she screams. She's a good actress. She surely has Cayden convinced.
"No! Babe! I'm not-" he begins, but soon enough, she cuts him off with a kiss. Amelia and I make fake vomiting noises.
"OH GET A ROOM YOU TWO!" Amelia yells. Everybody is on the floor laughing their butts off, just then Maggie's mom walks downstairs.
"What are you kids up to?" she asks. We all look at each other for a minute, before yelling in sync.
"NOTHING, WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING..."
Maggie's mom looks at us before turning and walking upstairs, mumbling what I believe to be,
"Kids these days." Maggie looks at the stairs before screaming,
"WE ARE TEENAGERS, NOT CHILDREN!" Maggie's dad's head appears at the top of the stairs, he yells down,
"CLOSE E-FREAKING-NOUGH!"
Well I see where Maggie gets the yelling from.
They seem like LOVELY people. *SARCASM*
