Hard Love

Chapter 4

I finish shelving the books as I go back to my post to hear the lunch bell go off. I pick up my book bag and go to the lunchroom to see Andrew with his nose in a book with my lunch. I smile and go to sit by him and kiss his cheek. "Aww babe, how did you know what I wanted?"

"Easy, its cause you and I have been together since the 9th grade." He smiles and blushes with the kiss on his cheek. He smiles and goes back to his nose in his book as he eats his lasagna. I smile as I roll my eyes and get the raspberry vinaigrette and puts some on my salad and eats some.

"What you two doing?!" Mikle says as I jump with my salad that was on my fork flies out of my hand.

"Jesus! Seriously??" I said getting my napkin wiping my uniform as I grab my fork by Mikle. Andrew looks up at him.

"We're trying to enjoy a lunch as a couple, but when you scare the shit out of us, how can we?" He explains.

"Yeah, while you have your nose in a book, and your girl sitting enjoying her salad. Do you even know what a date is?" Mikle asks.

"As a matter fact, we do. It's just he has to focus on his gameplay cause we have a game Friday." I said as I go back to eating my salad.

"Ah. I see." He sits at the table with his slice of pizza and smiles. I of course don't look at him but end up looking. Just then Jenni appears and sits down.

"Hey Ellie and Andrew. Hey cutie." She then sits down. "I hope you don't mind if I sit by you three." I nod of course not. Andrew doesn't focus on anything but the gameplay.

"So your name is Ellie?" He says to me. I of course don't answer him as Jenni nods yes.

"She sure is and that's her boyfriend Andrew. And I'm Jenni her SINGLE friend." She said as she stares at him while putting much emphasis on the word single.

"Nice to meet you all." He smiles as he moves down the bench towards me away from Jenni.

"Oh what's the matter Mikle, don't you like girls?" I tease as I stand up to put mine and Andrew's tray away. Mikle follows.

"I do love girls, but your friend is a lil freaky. But the one girl I do like is right in front of me."

"I'm sorry. What?" I ask as he blocks my path. I look up at him.

"I said she's in front of me." He leans closer to me, as I feel my heart beat across my chest, as I feel my stomach doing flips like no tomorrow. As he leans close to me he kisses my lips and I couldn't help but enjoy it as well, as I feel my foot lift up as I thought why am I loving this? We kiss for about 5 minutes with my foot still lifted up.
