RECAP
"Sure thing buttercup." He replied. I giggled and got to making the idiots their breakfast.
23) Nope! I meant OUR house.
I am currently singing, or rapping, in the car on the way to school. The song was "Can't hold us" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Most of the guys were surprised because I'd never sing in from of them, but today I was just genuinely happy.
After we had made the food, bacon, waffles and a strawberry smoothie, Josh and I woke them up with the food again. That seems to be the only effective way to wake them up, with food. Once we were all done we proceeded to get ready and mess around like normal. And now we are all in the Honda Pilot that was like our "family car" it's the one we used when we all went out together. Patrick was driving, I was in the passengers seat, Josh, Ismael and Patrick were in the second row, and Jake, Chris, and Eddie were in the last row. They barely fit but the truck was pretty spacious. They were, in fact, all muscly and built.
It doesn't take long to get to school, so about five minutes later we arrive and park in our usual space. Since the guys are all jocks and people seem to be either scared or worship the ground they walk on, they have specific places where they park and there's also one for me. I don't get it though because some of us always end up riding with the others so there's no real need to be seven parking spaces always empty. And I mean ALWAYS. every day that we've been at this high school, those parking spaces are empty simply because that's where we parked on the first day. I mean yeah, we like to park in separate places depending on whose driving, but it's all in the same row of cars in the very front of the lot. What I hate the most is that when we get out everyone is staring. Now more than ever due to the fact that Josh is with us too. And I always get glares from the girls because no matter what, there's a guy on each side of me and at least one arm is always draped over my shoulder. But they should know by now that we are all only friends because if not then I'm pretty sure the guys wouldn't hesitate to kiss me whenever they get the chance. The only one that I get nervous about is Josh because obviously people think that we aren't together and as close as we are, girls are always all over him. It just aggravates me so much, but I try not to show it even if I'm more than sure that he can see the jealousy in my eyes. He always gets away from them but they still haven't gotten the hint.
Right now there's like at least twenty girls around him trying to talk to him. We just strapped out of the car not even 10 seconds ago. I look over at him to see him looking straight at me. I quickly turn away so he won't see how I'm feeling and how it makes me feel to see those girls all over him when I can't do that.
"Okay. Lets get this over with so that we can go back to our house and play games again." Patrick groans.
"I'm so ready for this day to end already." Jake chimes in.
"C'mon guys. Lets get to class. Or we're gonna be late. And don't you mean MY house?" I question with an eyebrow raised.
"Nope! I meant OUR house." Patrick replied. "You know as well as we do that that house is our home more than any other place."
"Okay that's true. But I think that any place where we are all together is our home. No matter where we are, as long as we are together, we are home. Including the new addition, Being mobbed by girls right now."Answered Drew. That is very true. Whenever I'm with these idiots that mean oh so much to me, I feel safe, welcomed, and at home.
"Group hug!" shouted Ismael. Immediately all of the guys pounced on me including Josh who somehow managed to get out of the mob of girls. Somewhere in our hug we fell over and now we are all on the floor laughing like the weirdos we are.
"Okay you guys are all super heavy and I can't really breathe." I said while gasping for air to make my point. Immediately all of the guys got up and I felt myself being lifted but I didn't know who it was. I looked up to be met with the blue-green eyes that see through me like a piece of glass.
"Thanks." I say quietly as he sets me down so I can stand.
"No worries babe." He replies as he puts his arm over my shoulder. Automatically I close my eyes knowing all of the nasty, vicious glares I would be getting from girls all throughout school.
I heard someone clear their throat and I open my eyes. I turn to my left and see Chris with a small smile. When I look forward, I'm met with a bunch of backs. And that's when I get it. They're making a barrier so that I don't see anything ugly being directed at me. Josh on my right, Chris on my left, Drew, Eddie, and Jake in front of me. They're the bigger meaner looking ones despite their actual beings. I turned around to be met with the smiling faces of Ismael and Patrick.
"Okay! Let's go!!" I heard Jake say as I started being pulled forward. I'm pretty sure that Josh understood what was going on because he stayed by my side blocking everyone on my right out, just like Chris was doing on my left. It felt like I was the president or something surrounded by bodyguards. Chris's arm was around my waist and Josh's was still around my shoulders. I know that people could still see me and they knew I was there but I was also kind of happy. This meant that they weren't going to mess with Josh because now he was one of us, he was close with me and the girls would stay away now. I'm not sure why but it always seemed to happen. As soon as they guys were comfortable enough to walk with me to class and have their arm around me while we walked, they seemed to back off. It would only be in a friendly way but it would always happen.
"Guys. Go to your classes. I don't want you to be late because of me." I said loud enough for only them to hear.
"No. We're gonna walk yo-"
"No you're going to class. Now." I cut Chris off getting annoyed and angry that they thought they always had to protect me. I'm going to have to learn to deal with it sooner or later. And even if I'm already used to it, it still hurts a little but I know I can handle it by myself.
Their classes were all on the other side of the school, except for Drew and Josh. Their classes were in the same hall as me. Yay...
Knowing not to push me any further, they all said their goodbyes and gave me the usual hugs and kisses on the cheek and off they went.
"C'mon babe. Don't wanna be late." Said Drew trying to get me to take my mind off of all the stares and whispers. He moved to my left where Chris was and looped my arm through his. Josh still hadn't moved his arm so we continued walking like that until we got to Josh's class. I said bye and when he hugged me, he kissed my cheek and I did the same in return but I didn't make it obvious so that Drew wouldn't get suspicious. There was a window in the door to his class and when I looked inside I saw many pairs of eyes on me showing their dislike. I kissed him on his right cheek, so they didn't see it because they're on the left side of him.
Drew and I continued walking until we came to my class, his was right next to mine.
"Bye babe." He said as he hugged me and kissed my cheek.
"Bye. See you after class." I said. just as I was about to turn around, he replied.
"I know Josh likes you. And I'm pretty sure you like him too. We'll talk later. I'm not mad at you just a little at him, but please don't lie to me when we do talk." He said with sadness in his eyes. I think he was sad because I didn't tell him and he had to figure it out by himself. I don't know but I'm happy that he's not mad at me, I know he won't do anything to Josh and he won't say anything to the rest of the guys until I'm okay with it. All I could do was nod and watch him as he walked into his class. He gave me a small smile as he walked in and I returned it.
I walked in and sat in my usual seat away from most of the people. Some of them would actually talk to me sometimes, most of them being guys and some girls, but I was mostly alone. As the bell went off signaling the start of first period, all I could think was I wonder what Drew is going to do. Why did he look sad? Is he going to approve or not? Will he say something to Josh too? I really hope this doesn't change anything between us. Please approve Drew, you know he's a good guy.
