Late Nights-E.G.D

F I F T Y - O N E

They all look at me with different expressions. Aaron -actually Aaron wasn't looking at me, he was looking up at the sky. Cameron seemed amused. The way Grayson was looking at me was like he was trying to tell me something with his eyes. Ethan looked like he was worried and regretting his entire life existence. I looked down at Ethan with a sweet smile. It was clear that Ethan didn't want me there but that made me want to be there even more. The only thing I need now is for a girl to walk by and give Ethan so much as a glance for me to "Go off".

"Allison, go," Ethan told me with his hand on the small of my back.

"But I'm hanging out with you guys" I look around at the rest of the boys.

"Yeah, Allison you can hang out with us, you're always welcome" Cameron speaks up and Ethan shoots him a look.

"Thanks, Cam" I wink at him causing Ethan to snap his attention back to me and I make a clueless face like I don't know why he's looking at me.

"Oh wow look at those clouds" Aaron sighs "You see them Gray?" he taps Grayson's arm.

"Yeah, those are really nice" Grayson looks at the sky too.

Aaron nods his head "All fluffy and everything"

"Just floating around" Grayson adds.

"Grayson" Ethan hisses.

"Wow that's crazy" Grayson marvels "They talk too"

I snicker, Aaron and Grayson did not want any part of what was going on. They were in their own world, in their own conversation. I guess it's just me, Ethan and Cameron well until Carmen and Amy show up. Actually, they should have been here by now, they're most likely in the student store getting food and I just didn't see them pass because I busy getting on, in, around, and under Ethan's nerves. Just as I was waiting for a girl finally came over to the group. It was the girl that Ethan was talking to in the hallway the day I was "Smith" and "Smithy" to him.

"Hey, Nessy" Ethan greets her.

She glanced at me and I squinted my eyes, waiting for her to say something "Hi Ethan, I was-"

"Ah" I quickly say over her.

"Thin-" she tries to continue.

"Ah, da puh" I hold my hand out, speaking gibberish to make her stop talking "Why are you talking to him?" I gesture to Ethan.

"Um because he's my partner?" she sounded unsure of herself.

"Is that question or an answer?" I respond with a bitchy tone.

"Grayson, have you heard Tyler the Creator's new album, Igor?" Aaron goes on his phone.

"You know what man, I haven't" Grayson looks at Aaron's screen.

"I'll play it for us" Aaron take his air pods out his pocket, handing one to Grayson and putting the other in his ear "It's fire, you'll love it"

Yeah, they're really not trying to get mixed up in this, while Cameron is over here with his arms crossed, smiling, watching and hanging onto every word.

The hand Ethan had on my back went to my hip, gripping it "Allison" he whispers.

I stick my hand in his face "Hello?" I wait for Nessy to reply.

"Um, an answer," she says.

"I don't care" I spit "I don't want you talking, looking, touching or even thinking about Ethan" I snap at her "If you even dream about him you better wake up and apologize to me"

"Oh" was all Nessy managed to say.

"Matter a fact if you need to talk to Ethan, you can communicate through me" I point to myself "So what did you have to say?" Nessy looked from me to Ethan "Didn't I say don't look at him?" I snap again at her.
