Adopting The Superhero

Chapter 9

Nyssa's pov

"I'm so tired," I whine, flopping backwards onto my bed. Lucy drops her bag and pillow on the floor, then proceeds to shove me right off of the bed and onto the floor.

"Sleep is for the weak!" She yells, jumping up and down. I laugh and grab her ankle, causing her to tumble down.

"That's coming from the one who actually got a decent amount of sleep last night. I was out saving people's asses," I point out. Lucy rolls her eyes at my comment.

"Hey Nyssa and Nyssa's friend," Michael greets, standing in the doorway, his arms crossed.

"Michael, this is Lucy, my girlfriend and one of my best friends," I introduce, nodding in Lucy's direction. She is currently sitting on the floor.

"Nice to meet you Lucy. It's good to meet one of Nyssa's friends. I was starting to think that her friends and girlfriend were imaginary," Michael jokes, sticking his tongue out at me. I roll my eyes and throw a pillow at him, laughing loudly as it hit him in the face. Michael whines about his hair, then goes downstairs to ask the other boys if they want to order pizza.

"I thought you said that they hate you?" Lucy asks, questions, climbing back up onto my bed.

"They did at first. Michael's pretty chill now. He and I are friends. That's the one with the crush on Viper," I inform her, lowering my voice slightly. Lucy laughs and hugs me tightly.

"What about the others?" She inquires, "Are they madly in love with you too?"

"No. Well, they think that Viper is cool. Luke and Ashton like me alright, I suppose. In an annoying little sister sort of way. Calum was the first one I met. He still doesn't really like me. He puts up with me, but..." I trail off, unsure of where I am going with this conversation.

"That's because he doesn't know how awesome you are," Lucy promises, holding onto me. I grin and kiss her nose before pushing her backwards. I jump up and grab the pillow off of the floor and throw it at her, laughing as she gasps in shock.

"You ass-butt!" She screeches, jumping at me, a smile on her face. I laugh loudly and move slightly. Unfortunately she still manages to tackle me, causing us both to tumble to the ground.

One look at each other and we are dying of laughter all over again. We don't stop until we can barely breathe and our stomachs hurt.

"Hey Nyssa," Lucy says, lifting herself up so she can see me.

"Yeah?" I ask, still trying to catch my breath from laughing.

"I love you," she finishes. I smile and kiss her.

"I love you too," I promise her.

"Nyssa! Lucy! Pizza is going to be here in, like, ten minutes!" Michael shouts upstairs, interrupting our moment. She grumbles in annoyance. I laugh and stand up, offering her my hand. She takes it and I pull her up. Then the two of us walk downstairs together, hand in hand.
