"Even tonight you're coming over?" Mabel asks Carlos, mostly cross-examining.
"Yup!" Ryan steals two fries from Carlos's lunch tray, "He cooks better than you... I'm fucked up eating pizzas!"
Zoe was gawking at her cell phone, sitting beside Mabel but when she hears him, she claims, "Hey! Don't blame the pizzas! It's your tongue which doesn't know what tastes better."
Ryan mocks teasing her, "Uh-huh! What exactly do you know about my tongue?"
Zoe's cheeks look all red and she rolls her eyes dramatically. Carlos interrupts, "It's not all about the tongue! It's also about my stomach! It does get upset!"
Zoe ignores them after saying, "I didn't say anything about tacos!"
Carlos smirks at her, "Pizza... It reminds me of something Italian!" And this made her not talk more.
Mabel looks between them, gritting her teeth. Due to all reasons, these four rarely had lunch together. Far from the corner of the cafeteria, she saw Skyler Foster mostly laughing with his group. He catches her eyes on him. She averts her gaze, quickly. Shit. She didn't want to look like a creep.
Her cellphone vibrates.
Bloody Foster: i caught you :p
Her cheeks flame up.
Bloody Foster: red sweater suits you
Mabel: it's oversized
Bloody Foster: you look like a kitten stuck in grandma's knitted sweater
Her cheeks build tension as she grins widely over his text, staring down at her screen.
Carlos's voice interrupts, "What's the meme?"
"Huh?" She looks up at him. Totally blank, "Oh... No... It's just, one of the pictures came up to mind... Ryan's and mine from childhood--"
Ryan interrupts immediately to make sure that she doesn't spill out any of his embarrassing moments though, she was not going to stop, "Which one?" He stops stealing fries from Carlos.
"Do you remember that pic in which we were sitting between grandma's kittens!"
He scoffs a relief laugh, "Oh... Yeah!! We were in a kinder garden at that time... Oh, I miss her... She used to treat us just like her kittens!" And then Zoe starts talking to him about the kittens.
Mabel lifts her head in Skyler's direction. His place was empty, he left. Her phone vibrates again in her hand.
Bloody Foster: looking for me?
Bloody Foster: ask me and I'll be right there beside you
Mabel: I don't wanna ask
Mabel looks around, curiously.
Bloody Foster: I'm not this easy to get
Mabel: who even wants you
Bloody Foster: you'll need me... darling
Mabel: is that what
you are going to call me from now on?
Bloody Foster: if you want me to?
Mabel: I don't want to be called that
Bloody Foster: you NEED to be called that
Mabel: stop this cringe
Bloody Foster : *sent an image*
Her red sweater looks baggy and her brunette hair looks a mess in a ponytail in the image he sent. She glances in the same direction, from where it might have clicked from.
