The sound echoed through the building and I turned around to see X rubbing the back of his head. I was about to hold in my laugh, but I burst out laughing instead. Fuck diplomacy, he just trying to make me feel like crap.
"Had to smack some sense into him," Ethan grins at me. I nod at him and walk back over. My anger know quieted.
"I know exactly where we could get lunch. Ever had a Poke Burrito before?" I ask them. Ethan shakes his head no, while X ignores me. "It is basically sushi rolled in a seaweed wrap. Come on, there is one up the street."
They follow me out of the door. X following behind Ethan, no longer having a say in the situation. I head to my car and watch them get into theirs. I pull out my car first and they follow behind me. It is not too far from the school. Probably just a block, depending on which part of the school you are leaving.
We enter the place that is connected to a bunch of other stores. The place is brightly filled with wooden benches and wooden high tables. It's got a sleek look to the place. It reminds me of a mom and pop restaurant in New York, but cleaner. We give our order to the very familiar waitress Janice. She is the daughter of my grandmother's church friends.
"Siren! Wait, where is Mrs. Ramona?" She asked me curiously.
"Picking up my nightmares from the airport," I answer her, she laughs at my response. We are not close, but she is aware of my situation with my parents, well not fully. Only our family knows everything, which is how we want to keep it. The guys listen to our conversation as she prepares the burritos for us. She takes them to the register.
"Paying separately or together?" She asks. I say together, and the guys say separately at the same time. They both look shocked.
"I owe... X?"
"Xavier," Xavier, finally giving his full name, responds.
"Yes, I owe, Xavier some food. Had a little mishap." Janice smiles. "Go get us a table," I tell them. They take their food.
"Where did you find both of those amazing specimens of testosterone?" Janice whispers to me. I smirk at her.
"School," I respond. She rings up the food.
"Keep me posted, I need to know, who's single, who you are taking, and which one I can have."
I begin to laugh. "I am not taking anyone," I tell her. She looks at me confused. "I don't do boyfriends." Her mouth gapes and I could throw a paper ball in her mouth with how wide it is. "I'll talk to you later."
"Tell your grandma I expect to see her tomorrow in here!" I wave at her as I go join the guys at the table. I take a seat pulling my red hair away from my face.
Now the awkward part is about to begin. I should have kept up with my no, but I did not want to eat alone. I might be a screwed up person, but I enjoy being screwed up around other people. Misery loves company.
"She seems like cool people," Ethan said as I sat. I nod my head. Xavier eats quietly as if he is trying to endure my presence.
"Yeah, but she is always trying to get me to my grandmother's church's young adult ministry. No, thank you!" I answer him. I dig into my food.
"So, no church for you?" Ethan asks laughing.
"Yeah, do not want to get struck down when I walk into the building," I reply with a devilish grin.
"So, out of all the places, why this place? I did not know this place even existed." I shrug my shoulders. I eat here almost every day. It is becoming part of my routine with Cookie. Which was why Janice was shocked to see me here without Cookie.
