Rebels, Royals and the Reader

Chapter 20

We paid for the damages the following day which pissed Brandon off a bit because that wasn't exactly revenge, so we opted for a classic.

A food fight.

The cafeteria was a mess and we blamed it on the royals, who had to spend their afternoon cleaning it.

We had one last detention before we officially had our afternoons back.

It was a sad victory.

We blasted Imagine Dragons that day whilst sipping blueberry flavored vodka from red solo cups. It was Riley's idea : she wanted the 'rebel' experience.

We laughed as Zay told jokes.

Brandon smiled, yes he actually smiled, because he knew that in that room were people he could depend on and trust.

Riley never let go of my arm, and she spent that hour reminding us all how lucky we were to be friends.

Lucas left butterfly kisses on Maya's face and arms and neck and hands and anywhere he could all the while telling her that she needed to drop the act and kiss him back.

Maya was tossing the football up and down before sighing, shrugging and smiling happily at him. And then she pulled him in for a very... passionate kiss and that continued for a while. A long while.

I remember feeling very happy that day, everything felt out of place and messy and chaotic but in the best possible way.

The next day, we walked into school together.

Yes, it was planned.

Riley knew the entire school was now aware of how different our relationships were and she wanted to make a statement.

Riley's arm was hooked into mine and I could feel the jealous stares I got from other guys, it was great.

Zay was in a conversation with Brandon, they were arguing about- get this- Pokémon.

And lastly Maya and Lucas, who looked... happy, genuinely happy.

Everybody looked at us, with faces of disbelief, confusion and awe.

A few weeks ago even I wouldn't believe you if you told me AAHS' princess was dating their school's resident nerd, the class clown and the notorious bad boy were willingly conversing and the bad ass introverted artist and the 'social monarch' super jock were inlove.

And they were all friends?

I would've laughed and told you to see a psych.

But now, even though I'm still in disbelief and I don't really understand how it happened, I'm so glad it did.

We may have turned the entire social spectrum upside down, but we were exactly who we needed to be.

And yes, Lucas and I got an A+ for our chemistry  project.

And that's it !
Hope you guys enjoyed it :)
