DEVON
yknow. once upon a time I would've laughed in your face if you told me I would be sitting in the middle of a high school cafeteria, consoling my beautiful best friend because she's dealt with too many snakes today.
yet here I am.
with the biggest crush on the guy who practically friendzoned me when we were 13, gorgeous best friends who I will never compare to, and the most adorable puppy in the world.
"dev. dev. devv. yoo-hoo, earth to dev?" I hear Riley's voice and become cliche as fuck, 'snap back into reality'.
"yes?" I stretch out the 'S' and she looks at me weirdly.
"okay snake. where's even stevens?" she asks making me look around, trying to spot the curly haired brunette.
"he probably fucked up, and is now talking to his teacher and apologising." Riley laughs taking a curly fry from my tray.
"like usual, hey Blake"
"hey," we both greet him as he slides into the seat next to her and grins at us.
"Hi Riles, hey Dev." he pulls off his glasses and wipes the sweat of his face with the sleeve of his hoodie.
"no wait ew; are we running in p.e?" Riley looks at the sweaty boy with literal fear in her eyes as he nods.
"that's it. I'm breaking my legs." she says leaning down and resting her face again the table.
"same. hey guys," Leon and Evan sit on either side of me and watch as the blonde haired girl complains about everything wrong with running in gym class.
"--I'm going to commit." I tune back in and chuckle at Riley as I play with ends of her hair.
"not before we hang out as a group, are you guys free today?" Blake brings up as the entire table lights up.
"when am I not, to be honest." I say, making Evan laugh and whisper "same".
"I'll pick you guys up." Leon offers and as Evan is about to object, Riley and I kick him under the table.
"sure," Riley smiles as Evan winces in pain, pretending nothing is happening.
