Chasing Ella

VII. Chips, Dips, and Lips

Chapter 7
The Cave
5:59 pm | Chance

After the game, the others went straight home while Chase, Evan, Eric and I went to the Cave to hang out. Evan was talking about how Ricky kept looking at him seductively.

"It was as if he were undressing me in his mind!" He practically yelled, while dipping his chips into the cheese and shoving it in his mouth.

"I mean, you did say you have that affect on people." Eric teased.

We all laughed as Evan glared at Eric, except for Chase. He's been staring blankly, completely lost in thought as he ran his fingers across his lips repeatedly.

Evan elbowed Eric and they both exchanged looks when the noticed Chase.

"So how was it? Did you like it?" Eric asked, leaning forward and propping his elbow down on the table.

Chase snapped out of his daze at the sound of the bell ringing caused by the door opening. We all turned to the direction of the door and familiar faces started to walked in.

As they passed by our booth, I watched as Chase kept a steady gaze towards her direction. There's something different about the way he's looking at her, and I have feeling it has something to do with what I saw earlier during the game.

Flashback...

The relief I felt after finally getting into the stall and releasing all that soda is indescribable, plus if I do describe it, it'll be too much information. Let's just say that the line was long and I could barely hold it in any longer. You can just imagine how how amazing I felt after releasing all-- okay. Too much information, got it.

Why did I think jugging down a large cup of soda was a good idea? I washed my hands after using the bathroom and rushed as quickly as I could back to our seat.

I can't miss kiss cam, it's like a baseball tradition. Plus I'm curious as to see who's going to have to kiss today. Just between us, I'm going to have to put my vote for Evan and Ricky. Evan's reaction would be priceless. We all know about Ricky's huge crush on Evan.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" I hear the crowd chanting as I climbed the stairs.

Once I was at the top of the stairs, I heard the crowd going crazy and cheering loudly. Some were whistling, some were clapping, some were doing both.

I turned to look at the screen. I was gone for 5, 10 minutes top and they're already kissing? I didn't know why but I had this weird feeling bubbling up inside of me. I don't know what it was. And I didn't know if I should like it or not. But whatever it was, it caused my hand to ball up in a fist.

End of flashback.

Eric raised his hand and waved at them to come over. Evan slapped Eric's shoulder, frowning. They hesitantly walked slowly over, with trays in their hands.

"Why don't you guys sit with us? You know, get to know each other better." Eric said, slyly. He had a very mischievous and up to no good look written all over his face. The type of look he had when he's planning something.

He shot me a look and I immediately knew. He is planning something.
