Shadows

25.

With a smile plastered on my face I looked outside the window.

Today was the first day after I broke up with Peter, and.. I guess confessed my love to Blake. I don't really know where we are, but we're more than friends!

'get that stupid smile off your face' Bella said with her famous grumpy, morning voice.

'I can't' I looked at her and she rolled her eyes.

She then pulled in at school, without even saying goodbye to me she ran to her friends. they're all very different. One friend of her is very nerdy and read a book a day, then you have the girly one and Bella, the tough one. Weird combo, I know.

'Hastings' someone called next to me, I looked up at Blake.

'Bloomingdale' I said as neutral as him

'good seeing you here today' he said, not looking at me

'likewise' I also looked straight in front of me

'since we didn't discuss this 2 days ago. do I kiss you? do I give you a hug?' he asked

'a question' I said with a high pitched voice as I nodded slow.

'I'm learning' he shrugged

'well then I think we should just walk in and see what we want to do' I finally looked up at him

'okay' Blake started walking, still not looking down at me

'are you going to look at me?' I asked, not mad, just.. surprised?

'no because if I do that I will feel a strong urge to kiss you' he stated

I giggled and shook my head.

'ah fuck I did it' he cursed under his breath. I looked up at him looking at me

'a kiss is fine mister Bloomingdale' I smiled tight

'good' he made a nod, bend down and packed a kiss on my lips.

'ew, love birds alarm, ew ew ew' someone yelled behind us. We turned around to Mike, Alison and Sophie, all flinching and putting their hands in front of your eyes.

'of fuck off, you're the ones who wanted this' I scoffed

'touché' Mike nodded

'I ship it' Alison looked at Sophie and mike who both nodded.

'I have to deal with them don't I?' Blake asked me

'if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends' I sang to him

'that and please you have been friends with us for 3 months, I expect you have accepted us for who we are' Sophie started frowning

'touché' Blake now said

The bell than rang and we went to our class. It was chill, for the difference Blake changed seats. He sat in front of me. the whole class noticed and all the girls gave me dirty looks, very nice I could say. Not.

At the lunch break we went to our place. I sat on the "love seat" with Blake, me legs over his.

I did everything I used to do. I have always put my legs over his, and talked to him. but now it was like a different feel. I finally accepted that a bomb of butterflies exploded every time he even said my name.

'woah, wonder why Peter isn't here' Sophie mumbled sarcastically

'oh guys, I didn't tell you how I broke up with him' I chuckled and looked at the three of them all sitting on one sofa.

'speak up'

'he told me that I was like an angel that blessed his life'

They all made a vomit sound

'and then I told him that he was like a devil that I was breaking up with' he smiled devilish

'that's my girl' Mike gave me an high five.

'it's bad that I'm laughing isn't it Blake mumbled

'probably' I looked at him

'speaking of the devil' Brendon mumbled when the door opened.

Peter came in, not saying a word and just sitting down next to Julian. Everyone silently followed him with their eyes.

'hey guys' Peter said, pretty emotionless

'hello?' Alison more asked than greeted him

'so I'm guessing you two are' he pointed from Blake to me and back.

'kind of'

'pretty much' we both said at the same time.

Peter let out a sharp breath.

'Peter, don't get this the wrong way but-' Mike looked at him 'why are you here?'

Seeing his face he definitely took this the wrong way.

'so just because she broke up with me I can't sit with you anymore' he then exclaimed, while standing up

'pretty much'

'yes'

'u huh'

'correct'

'fucking hell' he mumbled as he stood up 'if this is what this friend group is about than I don't want part of it'

'what a bummer' Mike whispered sarcastically

'oh and for the record, I didn't do anything wrong. It was all her' he pointed at me and slammed the door behind him.

'glad I got rid of that childish asshole' I mumbled, staring at the door

'you didn't get rid of me' Blake frowned

'not you, idiot' I slapped his arm.

'Jesus motherfucker, what am I happy he's never coming back. I hated him so much. He was the literal embodiment of "nightmare dressed like a daydream". He seems so perfect but he ruled Chrissy around, he acts like he was the boss of her, he didn't even go on dates she liked' Mike snapped.

'hey Sophie, I think Mike doesn't like Peter' Julian told Sophie

'is it that obvious' she said back which made us all laugh.

'be careful guys, it's Blake's cousin your talking about'  Alison said

'don't worry, I also didn't like him for how he cheated Christina'

He put his arm around my neck

'plus he kinda stole her from me' he said as he pulled me closer to him

'don't ruin my-'

And then he ruined my hair
