Mech X-3?

Ch26

Mark, Ryan, and I were walking to my house to kick-off the anniversary of the year. But unfortunately we had to spend it at school, but that's okay because at least I can finish my present to Ryan. I have no car and no money so going out and getting him a present wasn't an option, I decided I was going to write him his very own song.

"Roe, we need to talk to you." Harriet and Harris said, pulling me away from Ryan as the three of us entered the house. They pulled me into a small huddle away from the others. We were around my kitchen table when Harriet showed me an image on her tablet, it was the girl from my first day as Mech X-3.

"Is this who you saw in the robot?" Harris asked me.

"Yeah, but why are you showing this to me, who is she?" I countered.

"The guy from Ryan's video? Yeah, they were a couple, I think this was all planned, it's like we're all trapped in a movie-" Harris was cut off by Harriet saying...

"Well, I think it's more like a book, if you'd ask me." I then jumped into the argument,

"Seems like a television show, but what do you mean, it was all staged?"

"Someone is after you two and your robots, but Leo and this girl-" I interrupted my bubbly female-genius friend.

"What's her name, did you guys find that out at least?"

"Layla, her name was Layla."

"Why'd you say was as if she's dead, her name is Layla and I'm gonna find her. And this Leo guy." My voice got more hostile.

"Hey guys?" A familiar body shape pressed itself onto my back and placed its hands on my stomach.

"Hey, baby boy." I placed my hands on the side of his face and pushed his head closer to mine so that I could lay a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"I'd like to have my girlfriend back, and we have to go to school to make it on time." He grabbed my hand and dragged me out the door, a little ways behind everyone.

"What did genius squared want to take to you about?" He asked rubbing my knuckles and leaning closer toy ear.

"It's nothing for you to worry about quite yet."

He feathered his eyebrows together," So were doing this today?"

"I'm not keeping secrets so don't even think about it, I'll just tell you on a less important day." I told him looking at him sympathetically.

"By the way, you look great in my colors." He whispered romantically, his breath tickling my ear lobe as he nibbled it.

"And you just look good period, Mr. Walker." He followed me to locker as usual and smirked to himself making me cautious. I let go of my lock making his muscles loosen and him slouch.

"What did you do to my locker?" I asked, crossing my arms and pushing my weight to one side.

"Nothing, I just don't want you to be late for class, that's all." His voice was nervous.

"Right." I rolled my eyes at him and fully put in my combonation an pulled off my lock.

"So, if I open this nothing will attack me?" I asked teasingly.

"If I did that this would be our last anniversary, partially because I'd b out of a girlfriend and partially because you'd kill me.

"That's kinda true, but you're too cute to kill, or maybe that's why I'd kill you?"

"You're making me nervous, just hurry up and open your locker."

I giggled," Okay, Okay." I opened it and on the hook that is at the roof of my locker hung a necklace. It had an emerald embedded into, not only did he get me my birthstone, but they reminded me of his eyes; I loved it.

"No you did not, Ryan, stop. I'm gonna have a panic attack or cry, or maybe even scream." I looked up from the necklace at him to see he was filming me.

"Ryan, why are you filming me? I'm a crying,ugly, mess and you're filming me?" I chuckled through the tears.

"You're my beautiful, wonderful, magnificent girlfriend and I love you more than life itself. I wanted to remember this forever and maybe even show this to our future daughter, I want anyone and everyone to know how much I love you"

By the end of his statement I was in tears," Are you okay, Beautiful?"

I answered an incoherent, "I don't know." He just sat the camera down in my locker and picked up the necklace. He turned me around to face a small mirror on my locker door, the camera shorting me at an angel, he moved my hair to one side of my neck and fastened the necklace onto me. My crying turned into various hiccups. I looked at my boyfriend and I in the mirror he draped his arms over my shoulders from behind and kissed the exposed skin on my neck.

"I love you, my beautiful, baby boy." I hiccuped as I turned in his arms and kissed him, creating 'whoops' and  whistles to roar around us.

"Hey,little sister." I turned to my friend.

"Yo, little bro." Ryan turned.

The couple also known as our siblings looked at each other then held up their phones only to say in unison," Smile for the cameras."

They snapped a picture and this is only the beginning of my day.
