This Life Of Ours

Chapter 14: Starts with a kiss, ends with a kiss

Julian saw them walking down the corridor.

"Hey, Hayley." He said.

"Hello." She said. She walked past him. Clary looked back and motioned towards Hayley. Julian caught up and grabbed her by the arm.

"Hey! What is it?" Hayley said.

"I just want to ask you, do you wanna... like... go out with me?"

Hayley was dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Can you go out with me?"

Behind Hayley, Clary was silently freaking out.

"Uh, sure, I guess. Where are we going?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Hayley looked back to look at Clary. She stopped her freak out and looked Hayley in the eye.

"Burger and malts." Clary silently said.

"Why not the burger and malts at the top of the hill?"

"Sure! Sounds great. We meet at 7?"

"Okay."

"Cool. See you then." Julian said. He let go of Hayley's arm and walked to his class. The bell had rang for the last periods of the day.

"Clary, we're going undercover." Hayley said.

"Got it girl. Am I away from you guys?"

"Yeah. Bring Chris with you."

"Okay."

They continued on their way to their classroom.

"What the..." Lucas said quietly from around the corner.

"You're not the only one who can eavesdrop." He thought.

He escaped through the side and looped around to his locker.

Lucas arrived at Uncle Mac's Burgers and Malts. He drove up to the parking close by and parked. Lucas walked around to the passenger seat and opened the door.

"Thanks, Lucas." Angelica said.

"Just being a gentleman. Now, shall we?" Lucas said. Angel wrapped her left arm around Lucas' right arm, and they were off.

At the side was Hayley and Julian, sitting by a table. She was beside him, and was ever vigilant, looking for Lucas and Angelica. She saw them pull up into the driveway, and in to park. They went out and wrapped their arms around the other's and walked to a table. Luckily, it was far enough for her to assess their actions and stay unnoticed.

"They're talking, and..."

"Hayley? What's wrong?" Julian said, cutting Hayley's thoughts off.

"Oh, nothing. Thought I saw Emma Watson here at the burger joint." Hayley said.

"Oh, really? Is she..." Julian looked the way Hayley did. She moved to block his view by sitting opposite him.

"Hey, I was going to look."

"Oh, it's not her, I thought I did."

"If you say so." Julian said, finally surrendering to her statements.

Her phone lit up and rang.

LC: hayley, go order and meet me there. We need to talk.
HL: What? Where will I order?
LC: you know where. Nice black thrasher shirt by the way.
