Fall For Him, Not Her.

Chapter Five.

I was sitting in the corner of the bathroom, when I heard Emma knock on the door.
"Drew? Has it exploded yet?" I could hear her laughing on the other side of the door.
My face darkened, staring at the guy.
"He's slowly shrinking.." I murmured.
Emma frowned on the other side.
"Okay bro, we're siblings.. but, if you want it not to explode next time.. you gotta play with it and other shit like that." She informed me.
I arched a brow.
"What? Why?" I asked.

I watched as she pushed the door open, I quickly pulled my pants up.
She leaned against the door, with this smug look on her face.
"I am only telling you about the thing you need to do, when it gets bigger, I am not discussing the whole subject with you.. that's yours and your partners conversation." She told me.
I blinked, looking down at my lap.
I removed myself from the floor, dusting my pants off before walking up to her.
"Thanks Emma." I murmured.
Emma laughed softly.
"This is one of the many perks of being a guy, you'll have to adjust it wanting to explode.. but for a friendly and loving heads up. It's not going too." She told me.
I looked at her, confused.
"It won't?" I asked.
Emma smirked.
"Nah, you'll be okay, come on we're starving." She said now.
I nodded.

The drive to Jackson's Steak and Grill, was short with dad driving.. everyone was making jokes about my buddy exploding and how it was impossible to explode.
I stretched when we made it to the restaurant, my shirt rising up, revealing my stomach.
I flinched feeling Tami pat my stomach.
"Come on." She grinned at me.
I frowned, my pants didn't feel tight anymore.. was that just a one time thing?
I followed the others into the restaurant.
To only feel this annoyance roll over me.
Zeke was in there.

I saw him cutting up and laughing with those three guys, plus a few others.
I glanced to Tami and Emma, and they both saw him, they scowled before walking after dad.
I shoved my hands into my pants, before walking with the others to our booth.

"What can I get you, for your drinks?" That voice..
I looked up, and saw that Olive girl from Venom High.
"Hey." I greeted her.
She glanced to me, before her eyes widened.
"Oh, hey!" She grinned at me.
Tami was also, smiling at her.
Dad looked to us.
"Do you guys know each other?" He asked.
Olive smiled.
I grinned. "Yeah, this is Olive.. she was one of the students I met at my new school." I informed him.

Dad looked to her with a smile.
"Well its nice to meet you." He told her.

Olive smiled softly.

"Its nice to meet you too.. now then, back to your drinks?" She asked.
"Ah! I'll have a sweet tea." Dad told her.
I nodded. "Same." I said.
Emma smiled. "I'll have coke." She said.
Tami looked at the menu. "I'll have a sprite.." She said now.
Olive blinked, but nodded.
"I'll get those right out, hang tight." She said before skipping off.

"Well, isn't she a cutie?" Dad asked.
My eyes widened. "Dad, she's half your age." I told him.
Tami snorted and Emma's eyes teared up from trying not to laugh.
Dad frowned deeply.
"I wasn't talking about me, Mr.Tightpants." He reminded me.
My face grew dark.
"Too soon." I whined, hiding my face in my hands.
The other three only laughed in return.

When our food got to the table, we were all devouring it.
I kept noticing, Zeke and Brett would look our way.

It made me feel uncomfortable, but I ignored the looks and ate my burger in peace.
Tami looked at me, with this amused look on her face.
I blinked.

"What is it?" I asked.

She smirked.
"Do you maybe.. want to put the food in your stomach?" She asked.
Emma and dad looked to me, before breaking into laughter.
Emma pulled out her mirror, before showing me my face.
Ketchup and grease on my face.
Well, that's embarrassing.
