「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

20 | "I built this with my bear hands for you"

"He's an asshole but I think I might like him" Christina said smiling at me but then she frowned, "It's not possible to like someone you've never met right? Tell me I'm right!"

I smirked at her, "I hate you say it but- who am I kidding I love to say that you're completely wrong" and she groaned but she still had a giddy smile on her face.

I hung up my apron as my shift ended at Cherry on Top and said bye to Christina before walking outside. I gave a quick call to Mia who said she was already on her way.

"Get in loser. We're going shopping" Mia called out to me as she stopped in front of the shop. I laughed at her reference to Mean Girls before joining her in the car. We drove off to the mall where we met the guys. Kasey was busy today so she didn't come but everyone else did.

We were currently situated at Papa Pete's Pizza, a small but busy food shop at the mall. All seven of us were sitting in a large booth munching down on a cheese pizza.

Mia and Will had been chatting the whole time as were Logan and I, Grayson and Ethan were too busy occupying themselves with pizza leaving Valentino who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here.

"Guys" Val muttered but everyone was too busy with their own conversations.

Logan was busying telling me all about football because when he started talking about it he realised I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about.

Logan laughed at my cluelessness when he used a fancy football term and he had to explain it.

"Guys" Valentino tried again,

After all the bickering Mia and Will were actually able to have a civilised conversation with each other – oh and look- is that a smile I see? There was a small glint in their eyes, which I knew, was worth teasing Mia about later.

"Guys"

Ethan was telling Grayson that his piercing looked like a tampon after Grayson insulted his 'luscious locks' as Ethan put it.

"Guys!" and everyone turned to Valentino who pouted, "I'm bored"

"Let's go walk around!" he offered and everyone nodded.

After we finished our pizza we walked around for a bit, the first shop we went into was called City Beach and Grayson and Ethan basically ran into it while the rest of us followed.

Ethan grabbed a hot pink bikini top while Grayson grabbed a baby blue one and walked into the empty change rooms,

"OooOooOOOoh look at me! I'm Grayson and I'm a twat!" Ethan mimicked a high girl falsetto voice, they were still arguing.

"OoOOoOoooOh look at me! I'm Ethan and I'm an asswipe!" Grayson mimicked the same voice and flipped Ethan off.

Valentino came out looking at both of them; he wore a purple bikini top, "Look at me! I'm Grayson and Ethan and I can't stop arguing about how annoying we are even though we're both imbeciles but we won't admit it" and a bright flash shone at them and they turned around looking at us with shocked looks.

"Hey!"

"That is so going up on Facebook" Mia said as she pocketed her phone and giving Logan, Will and I a small smirk,

"Mia!" all three boys yelled at the same time while Mia gave them a sheepish grin and I high fived her.

The next shop we visited was Target.

As we passed a bunch of pots and bowls Logan picked up one and held it behind his back,

"What is that? I asked him and he gave me a sly smile,
