Being Me

>>12<<

All of us froze and looked at each other.
Shit!

"Are you all dumb?", Nell asked, "don't tell me you guys got thrown out of the class again!", she said with a terrified expression.

"What even woman? We got thrown out like five years ago and you say it like it just happened a day before!", Ross defended.

"You. You got thrown. Don't say we! I had to change my class because mum wanted us to stay together", Rob said with disgust.

Ross continued looking at Nell with a pained expression while ignoring Rob's continuous protests.

"Alright then what happened if you did not get thrown out of the class?", she asked with a scrutinising gaze.
Nell was one hell of a smart person and I could see the gears in her head rotating after seeing the twins' hesitation.

"Rob really likes Zee so we shifted!", Ross shouted.

What?
What!

"Excuse me?!", I said.
"No I do not!", Rob exclaimed.
"What even Ross?!?!", we both said.

"Dude you just can't say anything that comes to your head okay? I mean you can obviously tell Nell about Mia!", I said. More like made up. But. Whatever.

"And who is she? Mia? I've never heard of her", Nell stated.

"She is a new student in our class and she's being a total creep. I mean I don't know she practises some dark magic and does all this spooky stuff. It's just too bad!", Rob said, that is made up.

Nell scrunched her nose at that but seemed to believe in it.
"But then why wouldn't you tell that to me? I mean what was there to hide?", she asked them.

Ross went to Nell's side and put a protective arm around her shoulder and started, "Well it was just that I didn't want you all scared and creeped out from her so I just rushed to your side and also she maintains distance from me", he paused for a second, " because I'm hot and these ghosts and stuff stay away from hot stuff", he said.

That one left all three of us speechless and Ross grinning.

"I can't decide whether I should laugh at that or cry?", I said while face palming.

"I am void of any kind of emotions", Nell said while shaking her head.

"It's been so long and I'm still not used to his bullshit. Damn me", Rob raised his hands in surrender.

"C'mon guys don't say that?!", Ross said while pouting.

"Whatever it is now I gotta go for my class which I think I'm already late for. So I'll meet you guys later 'kay? Bye!", Nell said while going out of the class.

We heard her footsteps for a few seconds when Robin broke the silence.

"Now that was a real save!", he said.

"Well to be honest I don't think she was yet convinced and I'm pretty sure she would look for this non existent Mia girl in school", I said.

"Is there even a girl with that name here? Zee?", Ross asked.

"Dude how am I supposed to know? And well you're welcome for saving your conceited ass there", I say and pull a face at him.

"Exactly! You're most welcome you moron!", Rob said.

"Well guys you should be glad you got the opportunity to help such hot stuff! I mean you should be thanking me for giving you inexperienced peasants such a chance!", he paused to look at us and then continued, " okay fine! Thanks".

"But guys seriously what are we gonna do about this Mia girl? She is bloody non existent and I know Nell is gonna check who she is. And trust me when I say that I know she will", I said.

"I can't deny that. She is one curious head and she will do that", Rob agreed.

"Guys I have this study hall this period so I can skip, you guys wanna go out for coffee?", I asked.

Ross and Robin exchanged looks and then smiled at me.
"We don't mind some caffeine shots", Ross said and we started walking out of the class.

We reached the parking and got into the twins' car as we drove to our regular hangout that was none other than The Bean.

I would call myself a coffee addict or in my own awesome vocabulary a beanaholic. I loved the taste of coffee, it's aroma, it's feel, everything.
The Bean was like this small cafe which served amazing coffee. They didn't have much variety and served only a few snacks, but what all they made was heaven!
It was not a very popular joint so it was usually empty thankfully but there were a few constants like us who visited regularly.
So it came without saying that we knew the staff and the owner there very well and same with them.

As soon as we opened the door, the amazing aroma of coffee hit our nostrils like always, but we never got used to it and we took a lovely deep breath.

"You know some day we might as well be charged guilty for keeping you guys from attending your classes", said Blake, the waiter and our awfully good bud.
Blake was a tall and handsome guy who was a bit older than us and in college. He had been a part of this cafe since when it had opened so he was always here.
The actual part he was gorgeous but then he didn't swing my way otherwise I would totally have the hots for him. I mean he had the looks, he was nice to talk to and well, he was a good guy. All of that made him hella attractive but then his sexuality came and slapped me in the face.
Yeah look for some other guy!

"Oh c'mon you love us!", I said to him.
"She means you love me and of course who does not?", Ross said. Like always.
All of us rolled our eyes at his behaviour and yeah even Blake was accustomed to it.

"So you guys will take your usual? And any sides?", Blake asked for our order.

"Yeah the usual and I'll take an XL choco cookie", I told him.
"That'll be enough for us too", Ross said to Robin.
"That's just my order and darling trust me when I say I do not share", I said while narrowing my eyes at him.
"Whatever, then make that two. That's all", he said while smiling.

"Alright cool I'll get it", Blake said as he went.
He was about to go inside the kitchen but turned around and asked while whisper screaming
"Who is he and why is he sitting with her?", he asked while pointing at the last corner booth.

All three of us turned around to look at who he was talking about.

Then all four of us glanced at each other with confused expressions.

Holy shit what is happening here?!
