Not this shit again...Please

👑09👑

I danced to a different song this time. It was longer than the usual 1 minuet dances I normally do. After, I walk to the side of the room and start doing stretches.

There where a lot of kids in here today, because it's Friday, so I don't think the teacher would mind if I slipped out early.

And I did exactly that. I walked into the hall with my bag over one of my shoulders  and my headphones in. I walked down the hall humming along to the music playing in my headphones. My body was sweaty again but today I was just gonna take a shower and then a nap. But I was also very sore from practice, so sore that if I laid down somewhere I wouldn't be able to get up for hours.

I turned to corner when suddenly someone lifted my body into the air from my waist. My bag and headphones fell onto the floor immediately. I started kicking my legs around and digging my nails into their skin.

"Owwww" They grunted as they dropped me.

I quickly grabbed my things and moved away from them. Once done, I looked up to see who even attacked me only to see Seth, Miles, and you guessed it. Landon.

Miles with coving his mouth trying not to laugh. Seth was rubbing the little red crescents on his upper arm. Landon wasn't even laughing, let alone trying to help. He just sat there looking off to the side not even noticing me. Not that I care anyway.

"I told you not to scare him" Miles finally had enough and broke into a fit of laughter.

"I didn't think he was gonna go survival mode on me!" Seth said angrily as he continued to rub his arms.

"Oh calm down I didn't break your skin" I rolled my eyes.

I bent down and put my phone in my bag then picked it up. I turned around again looking at them for a second then turned to Landon. He was eyeing me but quickly looked away once we made eye contact. I sighed a little then turned around again.

"I'm going to the cafe, I gotta buy something" I grunted as my bag pulled me down a little.

"Here lemme take that for you" I turn to see Miles take it off my shoulder only to struggle to get it off the ground.

"Oh give it here" Landon says as he walks over to Miles and picks up my bag.

"Okay" Mike sighs out as if he'd been running for hours. "Let's all go to the cafe" he chirps out.

"But babe I need you to wrap up my arms" Seth groaned dramatically.

"Ughhh Fine, you two just meet us back at the dorms bye" Miles pulled Seth by his hands out of the building.

Landon and I stood there for a second not saying anything. Not looking at each other. The faint noise of classes down the hall was the only thing that was being heard.

"Come on, lets go" I start to walk towards the exit.

I stop for a second, not bearding any footsteps behind me. I turned to see Landon with a surprised look on his face. I sighed loudly before I stomped back over to him. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the exit with me. I glanced behind me at him for a second to see him with the same surprised look on his face...and a small grin. I quickly turn back around feeling the heat creep up on my face as we left the building.

"One fudge bomb chocolate cake please" I smile to the man working behind the counter.

"Coming right up" he smiles back then goes into the back room for a second then comes back out with the cake.

"How much?" I ask him.

"Uhh" he looks at his computer. "$5.03 please" he puts the cake in a bag.

"Oh can you add a strawberry milkshake onto that order please" I clasp my hands together.

"Of course" he smiled then went over to the machine and put a cup under the dispenser. He walked back over and put a lid on the cup then handed it to me.

"Now how much all together?" I asked him.

"$7.05" he glanced at the computer then back to me.

"Cool here-" I was about to hand him my card when Landon handed him his card instead.

The man swipes the card then hands it back to London without hesitation "thank you, have a nice day" he smiled.

Landon and I walked out of the cafe. Radio silence.

I wanna day something but if I do I don't wanna risk it all. Or do I wanna risk it all..all of it would be risked for one quest-

"What's wrong?" Landon asks without looking at me.

"What do you mean 'what's wrong'?" I acted as if I did wanna day anything.

"You know what I mean, you like to do that lip biting thingy whenever you have questions" he poked my cheek.

I slapped his hand away trying to keep a straight face. I failed and ended up letting out a little laugh before I quickly covered my mouth.

"Oh come on, what's the worst that could happen?" He nudged me a little.

"Why....why do you joke around with me as if we're friends?" I asked causing him to look a little shocked. "I not only left our high school to go study elsewhere but I ghosted everyone without a word. And here you are, paying for my food and acting as if I've never left....like you never rejected me in the worst way i could've imagined. I would've been fine with a simple 'no' ya know. You didn't have to go and kiss- no make out with your girlfriend in front of me" I looked down at my shoes.

Left.

Right.

Left.

Right.

I started to become aware of the things around me. The light breeze on my face as I walked. The way the bag swung a little with every step. Landon's eyes never leaving my face.

I looked up to see we were now standing in front of the elevator doors. I quickly pressed the button then waited for a moment for the doors to open. We both got inside without a word. I pressed two buttons then looked up at the light. The doors opened and I turned to Landon.

"You can just leave the bag on my bed..I gotta bring this to someone" Our eyes met..but then he got off the elevator.
