Let's Play Pretend ~+*

Chapter 2

"Lemme guess you were late again?" Destiny says as she leans against the locker next to mine while I change my books for my classes after lunch. Destiny Marshal. My other shorty. My girl best friend. "When have you known me not to be late?" I say and close my locker. We walk to lunch.

"What did Ms. Lansing have to say today?" I look at her with one eyebrow raised. "I don't care what that old bag has to say." I adjust my books. "She's always coming for me." "You're her favorite student!" Destiny says laughing and I jokingly shove her. "Girl bye." I say.

We walk into the lunchroom and we try to find our usual table. Destiny and I, sit with Jamal, his friend Zavier, and my boyfriend Vincent. "Hey babygirl." Vincent says once I'm in sight. He gets up from the table and walks over to me. His hands on my waist. He pulls me into a kiss. Holding me tight with each second. His hands trail down to my ass.

"Ahem ahem!" Destiny says. "Nobody wants to see all of that." She says. "Is that how you feel?" Zavier says scooting down the bench to sit next to Destiny. She starts blushing. Zavier drapes his hand over Destiny and starts kissing her neck.

"What is wrong with y'all?!" Jamal says covering his eyes. "Can y'all sit down so we can eat?" We all laugh. I take my spot in between Jamal and Vincent at the table.

I reach into my bookbag and pull out my lunch. I. am. obsessed. with. salads. It's all I eat besides hot chips, which is also what I have in my bag. Today is Chicken Cesar with Italian sauce drizzled on it. I pull out my purple Gatorade and my hot fries chips. You could say my lunch is an "acquired taste".

Jamal looks at me with side eyes. "Liv you so nasty." He says. "It's better than that school pizza." I say and open my Gatorade. "How dare you!" He says and takes a big bite. I laugh. "I've been trying to tell her for the past 5 years." Destiny says. "Says the girl with no lunch at all." Destiny fixes her posture. Her eyes shift. "Like I've told you guys, I just don't get hungry during the day." "You're crazy." Vincent says and I agree.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom." Destiny says and leaves the table. "Now why y'all gotta upset my future bae like that." "Destiny don't like you fool!" Vincent says jumping at Zavier. "That's not what she said last...." I didn't even get Zavier a chance to finish that sentence before I hit him with a piece of chicken from my salad.

"Don't talk about my bestie like that." I say to him. "I thought I was your bestie." Jamal says with sad puppy eyes. I turn to face him. "You are!" I say rubbing his neck and smiling. Underneath the table I feel Vincent pull me towards him by grabbing the lower part of my shirt. I turn and give him a look. He doesn't look at me. 

Jamal looks at me though. He saw it, I know he did.
