The Stranger I Met

The Devil's Spawn

" She caught you!!" Molly says it third time and continues laughing. I shake my head." Consider us lucky for not getting a detention." I say and pick up a fry from her plate. We had reached the school cafeteria before any of our friends.

I look up at Molly and see her smiling with her gaze fixed on something behind me. I turn and see Tyler and Jason picking up food trays. Tyler says something and Jason throws his free hand around his neck and fake chokes him. Both of them are looking so carefree.

Jason had grown close to all the three males in our group and watching the two of them, it seemed as if nothing happened in the morning. They were the same as they were yesterday. Well, I can't blame them as nothing had changed between me and Molly as well.

I look back at Molly." Is it just me or it is not awkward at all that we are dating each others leftovers." She says and grins." It is not just you." I reply." But I really don't think that they are leftovers because if leftovers were so delicious, I would never leave some in my plate." Molly throws back her head and laughs.

In a few minutes, all the chairs around the table, except one, are occupied. Caroline was telling us an incident that took place in her bio class when suddenly someone holds my shoulders from behind and shakes me vigorously.

" Ahhh" I scream but it comes out like an ambulance siren. When the person stops, I nudge him hard in his stomach." Owe. Easy on the six packs, Princess." This time he screams." For the hundredth time, stop doing that Jer." I say without turning back.

Jeremy slides in the chair next to me. " And for the hundredth time, I'll stop it when I don't find your screams hilarious anymore, which by the way I do. Keep up the good work." He pats my back. I roll my eyes." Bloody sadist." I growl.

He turns towards Molly."So, I heard something rather lecherous. You and Princess have swapped your boyfriends? " He wriggles his eyebrows. Before she can protest, he raises his hands." Hey, hey, I am totally on board with the idea of' what's mine is yours' but don't you think you both took it too far."

He shakes his head," And I thought I had taught you girls some morals."

" Ha, look who's talking?" Stella interrupts him." Aren't you the guy who had a three-some with Claire and Kathy on the party night?" My eyes go wide, just like Molly's. All eyes turn towards Jeremy.

" What! I couldn't refuse either of them." He shrugs." You having a three-some is not surprising, what has me in shock is that those two girls even talked to you." I say. A silence spreads all over the table which is instantly followed by a roar of laughter by everyone.

Jeremy blushes, but only for a second and them he is back to his cocky self." Well, you were my first option but you were already taken." He grins. Jason places a hand around my shoulder." By me."

" No seriously, how drunk were those girls?" Caroline comments and the bickering continues.

It had been three days since Jason and I made our relationship official and today he had picked me up for school.

After school, we reach my house. Before I can step out, he leaves the driver's seat and comes in front of my door and opens it, bringing his hand in front of me for me to take it." Madam" I smile and take his hand." Sir."

He shuts the door after I come out. I put my hands around his neck," When did you get so chivalric?" He places his forehead on mine. " I can be anything for you, baby." I chuckle.

I rise on my tiptoes and give him a peck on his lips, but before I can detach my lips from his, he dips me a little and deepens the kiss. Even though the contact is of merely 5 seconds, my heart beats rapidly, threatening to come out.
