Hold Me In Your Everlasting Arms

Part 19: Fuck, Marry, Kill

"And so my pants are full, the elevator is closing and there are literal tears streaming down my face.." Lux went to finish her story, but Blake cut her off between fits of laughter.

"Lux! How have you never told us this story before!" She exclaimed as Emily Ally and I bent over laughing.

Lux continued, ignoring Blake.

"So I am frantically running for a bathroom because the elevator doors shut and i needed some place to go with actual junk in my pants. When out of no where Emma's brother Ezra runs in front of me asking me where Emma is. By this time I was too emotionally unstable to tell him that her arm was stuck in the candy machine outside of our hotel room." Lux was gasping for air laughing at her own story.            

Lux didn't tell the rest of the girls that the Ezra in this story was the same as Mr.Koenig, but rather she glanced at me when she said his name.

"So he leans in and asks me if i smell 'that'. And im like oh shit how do I even speak, but before i could do anything we ran past poor Emma who screamed at us about her arm. So we jump back and she screams, 'Lux did you shit your pants?!' So now im laughing crying and I run away from them to go into the bathroom. And to this day both of them always ask me if i turned the bathroom light on when I go to the bathroom." She concluded and all of us were laughing in disbelief at the absursity of her story.

"So let me get this straight. . ." Ali said catching her breath and looking at all of us. "You shit your pants because you couldn't find the bathroom light?" She stared at Lux who replied shamelessly, "Yes!"

  

"See this is percisely why we can't sit with boys at lunch"  Emily said eyeing the boys table accross the lunch room.

"Speaking of the boys. . ." Lux said glancing around the table. "Its time. . for a round. . of.  . " Lux said enticingly

"FUCK MARRY KILL!" Blake screamed out.

"Okay, Ali go!"

"easy: Daniel, James, Nick" Ally said brushing her hands.

I couldn't explain why but a tang of jealousy hit me when she said Daniel.

"Daniel's the sweet marrying type, not the fuck type!" Emily said defensively. "Maude would know..." she said surrounded by a crowd of 'ohhhhs'

I could feel myself blushing, "What are you talking about! We've been friends since we were little kids!" I said while my face was still heating up.

"You're all he talks about, and you know it." She snapped back, I really didn't know where this was coming from and by the look on everyone elses face I could tell that they didn't know either. Their eyes were moving like a tennis match as both Emily and my voices switched from playful to aggressive.

"Em, what you're saying isn't making any sense Daniel and I have nothing but a friendship, I don't know where you are getting your information." I said feeling attacked.

"Maude, you've been lying to us for too long, we understood that you didn't want to tell us. But enough is enough stop lying." Emily said looking around at the other girls who all looked guilty.

"Guys?" I said and none of them would return my look. "Is there something you know that I don't?" 

"Maude cut the shit, Daniel told me you two have been dating. Is it true or not. If its not tell us who this mystery boy is right now." Emily said in the same authoritative voice she uses when yelling at her little siblings.

I tried to look at all of them, but they all looked so distant.

"Im not obliging to your ultimatium Emily, so stop trying to victimize me." I said trying to go back to eating.

"Tell us, or ill tell everyone about Xavier's party." she said whispering demeaningly to me.

"Are you threatening me?" I whispered back. "Guys are you hearing this?" I said once again failing to make eye contact with any of them. 

"This is unbelievable." I mumbled grabbing my things.

"Fine your choice." Emily said

"Okay, fine. Okay, I'm dating Daniel. Yep it's true. We've been dating since over the summer." I said assuringly

"The truth is out!" Blake said trying to be helpful.

"Not all of it." Emily shot back bitterly.

Suddenly I realized what was going on.

"Emily, you're jealous!" I smiled at her, because I knew I had the upper hand

"Jealous of an undeserving whore, oh now I have more class than that." Emily smirked, I knew I had lost but I was nailing closer to the truth.

"Whatever," I brushed it off, "call me when you get your sanity back." I said turning to go.

"Call me when you want to start being there for your friends" she said glaring at me.

I went out of the lunchroom with fake confidence oozing out of my posture. 

I started speed walking to my locker when I ran into

Daniel.
