'There's many a man has more hair than wit'
-William Shakespear
Michaela's POV
“D’you want to sit with us?” Nikki asked Andy as we entered the canteen for lunch
It was pretty obvious that he was sitting with us after the paper eating incident- I smirked to myself at the memory- but it’s still nice to invite him. Maybe Andy wasn’t as normal as I’d thought.
I took a large and exceedingly unladylike bite from my sausage roll grinned. Not because of the sausage roll, (it wasn’t that good) but because Gerard had sat down next to me, and I could feel his knee against my own.
Damn it Michaela, stop it, you’re just friends!
I wipped the grin from my face and carefully moved my knee away, and he gave me an odd look. I gave him an innocent look, and he shrugged to himself, dismissing it.
“So how come you moved to this school?” Frank asked Andy.
Andy shrugged “Family moved, dad grew up here and he always wanted to move back. Nothing special"
“So where did you live before?” Asked Gerard
“Swindon”
“Oh... err, cool” I said after a short silence. Let’s be honest, what is there to say about Swindon?
We were saved from the horror of the AWKWARD SILENCE (dun, dun, duuuun) by Bingle arriving. He was wearing a monocle. Well, you see something new everyday.
“BIIINNNNGGGGGLLLLLEEEEE!!” Yelled Isaac, getting up and trying to hug him. Bingle put a hand on Isaacs shoulder and holding him there.
“Don’t touch me.” He said dryly, sliding past trying to get to his normal seat. I winced waiting or he reaction when he saw what was on it.
“What,” he demanded “is that?”
Andy shrunk in his seat, pretending that the big scary mad man (boy) making a fuss about something on his seat, and wearing a monocle, didn’t exist.
“Just sit somewhere else” I sighed “By the way Andy, this is Bingle, Jakes boyfriend if you hadn’t guessed already”
He nodded, and shrunk down a bit lower leaning his head down so his hair fell forward, covering his eyes. Well, it would have, if half a can of hair spray hadn’t been holding it in place. Note to self, never use so much hair spray that you can’t use your hair as a shield, it makes hiding from scary tall people very difficult.
“Move” Said Bingle, looming over Andy, who was, in fact, the ‘that’ in his seat.
Andy was more than happy to get up, but Megan caught his arm and pulled him back down. He looked up at Bingle in terror and helplessness. I felt for him, Bingle is incredibly scary until you realise that he’s all bark and no bite. His bark has been known to burst ear drums though, so maybe not that harmless.
Further arguments were avoided when a handful of mash potatoes hit Nikki right in the face.
My neck clicked from the speed I twisted it round, and I brought up a hand to protect my face from another mash attack.
Jake grinned shamelessly, and I was, as usual, immensely glad that he could read Bingle like a book and knew how to stop him killing anyone.
"You did NOT just do that!" growled Nikki, getting up and wiping it away with her fingers.
"Hell yeah I did!" he replied, and in the age old trick in the arsenal of anyone trying to show their superiority, stuck his tongue out.
"Right! Stay here!"
