Who Needs Time?

Chapter Three

We unlocked the door and Nash threw himself in, almost landing on me if it weren't for my fast reflexes.
"S-sorry, Milly! I didn't mean t-to...! Honest!" Nash stammered.
"Didn't mean to spy or throw your self at poor Milly?" Athena asked saltier than the Atlantic Ocean.

"U-uu-uhhh... B-b-both? No wait! Throw my self at c... Milly..." Nash replied suspiciously. I hid in the corner and fake cried.
"Why me???" I joked. "Why?????"
"The gods have spoken, Milly. You are sentenced to a life married to Nash Bird!" Athena joked. As Nash went to sit on our couch (which I was next to), Athena closed the door.
"Im fine with that..." Nash whispered barely audible. Although Athena couldn't hear it, I did. I pretended not to, for Nash's sake. He's a terrible liar.

Athena walked over and sat next to Nash with me on the other side.

"Do you confess, Nash Bird?" Athena and I questioned in harmony.

"About what? Certainly not liking Milly, cause I don't, so you can't be talking about Milly because she's right there and I should stop talking but I can't because Im so nervous that you'll find out the truth about Milly and I but no nothing's going on between Milly and I therefore I have nothing to confess!!!" Nash exclaimed quickly in one breath.
"Dude. Chill. We're talking about spying on us." Athena said plainly.
"Oh... Right... Hehe.... yeah... I confess. Sorry guys..." Nash said.

Athena looked at me. She gave me the look that said: *dang it you were right! He likes you! He also needs help with that rambling problem*
"Told you so Athena!" I said plainly. Nash looked very worried and concerned.
"I'm just gonna..." Nash said sneaking towards the door.
"Good luck with that Nash. I locked it." Athena replied casually. Nash moaned.

"It's almost lunch," He whined. "Im gonna get in trouble! Let me out!"

"What did you say about Milly in that rambling fit?" Athena asked.
"Why would I tell you?" Nash asked harshly.
"Athena? I need to tell you something..." I said.

"Let me deal with him. Start to say something, then put your palm on your forehead, like this," I showed Athena. "And then claim that you didn't finish some homework then sit at the table, listen to music and write stuff or something. Based on what I heard him say, he's going to be slightly more open to me about whatever he said rather than to you." I explained. Athena nodded.

Athena made the her part of the plan work like it was nothing. As she passed me, I high five her. She whispered to me two words: Let's go.
