Undercover Love

Chapter 6

Julia's POV

The morning went by pretty fast. Even though it'd only been a few hours since I'd met Rebecca, I could already tell that I was doing pretty well at the "becoming close to the girl" part of my job. She seemed to really like me, and I was convinced that she would consider me a friend in no time. Of course it'd probably take more than just that for her to trust me enough to even mention the dope dealing in my presence, but I had no doubt that we would get to it eventually. I was really confident about the case.

Rebecca and I were now headed for the cafeteria where she was supposed to meet up with her boyfriend. I was invited to join them for lunch if I wanted and I'd obviously accepted the offer. I was just hoping I'd get to see Hanson before going back to class, because I was dying to know how things were going for him. I wasn't too worried though. I mean, this Dean guy was supposed to be a badass so he could only love little Tommy McQuaid. 

"See the guy in the black leather jacket over there ?" Rebecca asked me when we made it to the cafeteria, pointing to a kid seated at one of the tables. "Well, that's him ! That's Dean ! I mean, the very cute one sitting across from that dude with the white bandana. You see him ?"

I nodded my head, stifling a laugh when I spotted my partner at the same table as Dean and realized that Rebecca's last comment was referring to him.

"What ?" she raised an eyebrow at me in confusion.

"Well, the 'dude with the white bandana' happens to be my boyfriend" I explained, grinning.

"NO WAY !" she squealed, smiling from ear to ear as her eyes went to Hanson. "Looks like he's Dean's pal, that's great ! Um...he's kinda cute too."

"Yeah, I...guess he is" I shyly agreed, looking down when I felt my face heating up.

"You're really smitten aren't you ?" she giggled, turning to me again.

"W-what ?" I nearly choked, wondering what the hell had brought this on.

"Come on girl, don't play innocent with me" she smirked devilishly "It's obvious anyway, you should see the way you look at him. But it's okay to be in love you know."

"I-I...I don't...I mean...I-" I laughed, stammering as I shook my head at her. 

"Did you go all the way with him already ?" she cut me off, probably not even remotely interested in whatever I was trying to say anyway.

"You're impossible, you know that ?" I scoffed, feeling myself turning even redder as I began walking towards the boys.

When we arrived at the guys' table, the two seemed to be in great conversation. They didn't even notice we were there until Rebecca cleared her throat.

"Hey baby !" Dean rose from his chair, immediately grabbing her waist and pulling her closer to him. They started french kissing, clearly not minding at all that me and Tom were watching. 

"I made a new friend this morning" Rebecca declared when the face sucking finally ended. "Her name's Julia. She's new here."

"Nice to meet you" Dean told me, smiling and waving at me.

"The pleasure's all mine" I replied, waving back.
