The Firm (on hold & getting put through some serious changes)

Chapter 2

After the shower the boys had already left the change room so I dried off and went to my locker grabbing my clothes consisting of just comfortable light blue jeans and a singlet, yes I may be tough childish and a girl living with men and guys since she was 3 but I liked looking good.

‘Ugh, where’s my singlet?’ I ask myself aloud walking to the mirror anyway and brushing my hair and teeth with just my jeans, flats and a bra on.

‘Yo Ad, we’re having dinner soon hurry up,’ Duke says, poking his head through the doors and staring at me.

I turn and face him asking where my singlet was, and not caring what I was in right now after knowing him for almost nine years.

‘Uh, I think it’s in my locker cos the other day you couldn’t be bothered opening yours,’ he says walking to his locker and pulling it open.

‘Wooh! Thank you!’ I say pulling out my fresh red singlet and putting it on, ‘man I thought I was gonna have to walk all the way to my room in just my bra,’ I sighed as he shut the locker and we headed out.

‘I'm sure they wouldn’t mind,’ he jokes with a wink.

‘Whatever, but I swear, did you see that new guy?’

‘Yeah, he was full on gawking at you,’ Duke laughs opening the door for me like a gentlemen.

I fake shudder and waited for him to lock the door. ‘Ugh, he’s lucky he’s new. Oh, hey! That reminds me; I kicked him in the crotch and he fell to the ground,’ I state as if it were nothing as I tossed my hair off my shoulders and kept walking.

Duke scrunches his face as we turn the corner, ‘now what kind of man deserves something like that Ade?’ he asks as if feeling Pearson's pain.

‘Duke! He was staring at my…’ I waved in front of me indicating my chest but that only made him break into a laugh.

‘Can you blame him?’ I hear someone else ask slinging an arm around my shoulder and leaning on me slightly as we were only another corridor away from the kitchen.

‘Oh shut it Harry, that doesn’t give him a right.’ I say attempting to push him off.

He doesn’t budge and just leans into me even more, ‘c’mon, give the guy some slack, at least you taught him his place huh?’ he says turning to look at me.

I shove him into the wall and but he still wouldn’t let me go, knowing it was annoying me so I stop walking and face him. Duke on the other side stares at me as if knowing what I was thinking before leaning on the other side of the wall and waiting for me to do my thing.

‘Harry, I’ll give you exactly 3 seconds to let me go and if you don't I’ll seriously punch you in the face.’ I say and he knew I would but hey, boys will be boys huh?

‘1…’

‘Adddeeeeeeee, dontt-’

‘2…’

‘beee sooo meea-’

‘3…’

‘aaaann,’ he whines his arm still around my shoulders. I grab his hand on the other side and twist it off me before spinning around and ducking to miss his punch and landing one clean on his nose, not hard enough to break it but enough for it to bleed.

‘Ah crap, now it’s gonna go on my top,’ he mutters shooting me a playful glare.

‘You asked for it,’ I laugh blowing him a kiss and bounding beside Duke where he slung an arm around my shoulder with a laugh only to tease Harry.
