Magcon fan fiction - Waves

Chapter 31

Three of us were sitting down in our favourite cafe drinking chocolate frappes, and yeah gossiping really.

"I can't believe Jessica and James" Zoe scoffed.

She was swirling the end of her drink with her straw.

"I mean like, she can so have my sloppy seconds"

She made a face that suggested she was 'so over him'.

Me and Anna automatically agreed with her, Anna hated Jessica anyway.

"But Hazel" Anna said turning the conversation towards me.

"Let's talk about Dylan!"

I looked at them confused. They knew we were finished, I had ended it a few months back.

"Hazel! He so likes you!"

Zoe nodded in agreement.

"It is really obvious lately"

I looked at the two of them as if they had two heads.

Would I actually consider taking Dylan back?

" I know he acts like a dick sometimes, but he's being really sweet Hazel. All he does is talk about you and how he wished ye were still together. He's changed"

Anna explains looking at me with meaningful eyes.

I just shrugged. Dylan had been a lot nicer to me recently, sending me sweet texts.

"Just think about it" Zoe adds lightly, she read my facial expressions like a book.

"Come on let's go for a shop then"

We all got up leaving the money on the table, waving at our waiter Jim.

He served us every time, a bit creepy but still very funny for an old man.

We walked idly in and out of shops Anna picked up almost everything she saw.

"Hey Hazel!"

It was Nash, in the girls section for some reason.

He was holding two flower crowns, ok.

I smiled walking over to him.

"Nash, hey what's up?"

"Just picking up a few stuff with Cameron" he said looking around to see where Cameron had walked off to.

My friends were pretending to be looking through a clothes rail, listening from a distance.

"I thought you were surfing with Hayes today?"

"No that's the first I've heard about it" I said looking confused.

"Oh right ok, I'll catch you later ok?"

He walked off looking for Cameron and I joined my friends at the very uninteresting clothes rail.

"You go surfing with Hayes?"

"Why were you talking to him, ew?" Anna said scrunching up her nose.

I shrugged telling them that I was good friends with Hayes.

"He seems a bit weird doesn't he, Hayes?" Anna remarked.

"He was really quiet with all the guys" Zoe joined in.

I jumped to his defence, wanting them to like Hayes as much as I did. I wanted to tell them everything about him and how funny he was.

How he had helped me escape my dad.

But I didn't, there was only so much I could tell them.

"He's just shy around all of ye that's all"

I mumbled.

We left the shop after Anna had bought two dresses and a pair of shoes.

Zoe and I had told her they were amazing, the quicker we left the shop the better.

I was not going to hang around another dressing room waiting for Anna to decide on a dozen different dresses.

We texted the guys to meet us up at the basketball court.

Dylan replied

'Yeah we'll be up in 5. Just finishing up at the beach.'
