If It Had Gone My Way

Chapter 10: Just With The Boys

This one's pretty long, so I may not update for a week or so.

Thanks for reading. :)

"Here, let me." Ashlene insisted, wiping Aiden's mouth away with a napkin. I internally shuddered. Bold was the word that popped in my mind.

"Um...it's fine. I can handle it." Aiden awkwardly shifted from beside me, forcefully wiping away anymore food in his face. He then turned to me, asking if he got it all out and I nodded.

Jack and Jessica were facing each other, chatting like they've been friends for years. I could see the glowing feeling Jessica held. They laughed without a care, and I was happy seeing two of my friends getting along. And Jack had acted he didn't want to see them. Psh.

Logan was seated across from me. He kept to himself, and ate while his eyes scanned around the place. I was bored, and couldn't talk with Aiden and Jack since they were chatting away with the two girls, so I lightly kicked Logan's shin, his eyes snapping to me. Even though I already had his attention, I continued to kick him, and felt him kick back. When he started poking his foot all around the place, I laughed and gave up.

"Okay, okay. You win." I put my hands up in surrender, and asked why he was being so quiet.

"Well, there isn't anything for me to say." He shrugged. He leaned back in his seat, and studied me while I searched my mind for something to reply.

"Oh. Okay...just wondering." I stabbed my fork through the tangled pasta, and stuffed it in my mouth, not caring whether I looked like a slob. I wiped my mouth with a napkin, and stared back at Logan. Then, I drifted my eyes to Aiden, who was listening to something Ashlene was saying, and typical Jack who was storytelling one of his greatest pranks to Jessica. Her eyes sparkled in amusement and admiration. I could tell that she really liked Jack.

Logan's eyes scanned around the mall, then he froze. He didn't show much of it, but since I had been, well, staring at him I could tell that something was up. Before I could ask him, he casually stood up, and smoothly said he had to go to the washroom. I was having second thoughts whether he did just need to go to the bathroom, or if something really bothered him. He said it so casually it was hard to tell.

My eyes surveyed the food court, and saw that not much people were here. There were a few elders, some teenagers, and a man and a woman holding hands. It seemed normal to me, so I shrugged it off and waited for my conversing buddy to come back.

"Right, Rebecca?" Jack said, looking over Aiden to me. All four of them stared at me and waited for my reply. What was happening again?

"What? Sorry, I zoned out." I mumbled.

"Tell me that I am the most fun of the three." He playfully demanded.

"Well," I chuckled at his smile faltering . "Each of you guys have a different personality. Jack, you're...interesting to say the least. You're immature, fun, a prankster, and you never fail to make a person laugh. Logan...hmm, well, it's hard to describe him. He's quiet, the most sensible out of you guys, and...yeah. Aiden," I stopped, glaring at Jack who was wiggling his eyebrows at me. "- Aiden's...uh, Aiden. He's the most normal one out of you three, the nicest and the politest." I ignored Aiden's snort when I said be was nice and polite.

"Hah! So I am the fun one! See!" Nice to know that you were listening, Jack.

"Hey, where's Logan?" Aiden asked me, breaking his conversation with Ashlene.

"He had to go to the washroom." I shrugged. He nodded, and nudged Jack. They had some sort of mental conversation going on, before they stood up and told us that they needed to go to the washroom too. I scoffed. And they say that girls were the only ones.
