How Pizza Saved My Love Life

12. "Sarcasm is my only defense."

"So you wanna tell me where were you yesterday?" Kim looks at me waiting for my answer.

We were all sitting together in the school's cafeteria; me, Kim, Dylan, Aaron, and Jordan. I called Dylan to tell him I was going to be late yesterday but apparently he was already home and forgot I was even supposed to tutor him. Typical Dylan.

"She was with me." Jordan answers for me.

"Was she now?" Aaron smirks and shoves a french fry in his mouth.

"Yeah. We skipped the whole day for some quality time together." Jordan wraps his arm around me and squeezes me tightly.

"Don't you think it's a bit early Jay?" Dylan wiggles his eyebrows suggestively and I push Jordan's arm away from my body.

"He didn't mean it like that you perv." I roll my eyes at Dylan and play with my lunch food that I'm probably gonna end up not eating.

"Well you missed a lot in maths. If you want we can stay after school and I can help you out." Kim suggests adjusting her bun.

"Thanks Kim. That would be great but I'm pretty shit at maths so bare with my dumbness." I say.

"I'm sure you're not that bad." She comforts me.

"She sleeps through the whole class." Aaron interjects.

"It's not my fault Mr. Samuels is deathly boring." I defend myself.

"You're gonna fail midterms." Aaron casually takes a bit from his sandwich. Oh my Gosh stop stressing me out.

"Back off dude. It's not like you're the maths whiz." Jordan suddenly snaps at Aaron and we all stare at him in shock.

Is Jordan really defending me? Is this even real life?

"I was just joking, chill bro." Aaron raises his hands in surrender.

"So where were you two?" Dylan smirks.

"That's none of your business." Jordan runs a hand through his hair nonchalantly.

"Give them their privacy as a couple Dyl." Kim slaps Dylan's arm lightly.

"Woah, a couple? Don't you think it's a bit too early?" I chuckle nervously but goddamn that sounded awkward as hell.

"Is it, though?" Jordan slyly smirks while chewing on his gum. His jaw is moving as he chews on that fucking gum and I hate how attractive this motherfucker looks like right now.

"A little yeah." I smile sweetly at him and he grins childishly at me and turns away.

"So you guys are just like hanging out? Nothing serious?" Aaron asks and right when I was about to answer that Jordan cuts me off.

"I'm pretty serious about her. I mean she's like a fluffy ball of sarcasm and sass, what's not to like?" Jordan snakes an arm around me and squeezes me tight.

"You're crushing my bones, Jordan." I say barely breathing.

"Sorry." He apologizes with a chuckle then ruffles my hair. I take in a dramatic sharp breath when he sets me free from his grip.

"I gotta go guys. I'm gonna be late for French." Kim picks up her bag that was laying on the table and gets up.

"Lunch isn't even over." Jordan points out.

"She likes to be extra early. Probably earlier than the teacher." Aaron smiles shaking his head.

"That's right." Kim pecks his cheek quickly. "Bye guys."
