Oreo

Chaper 44: Anxiety

A/N: So I went to PAX last weekend and yesterday I turned 21 .-.
And I'm falling deeper and deeper into depression, so.....

That's whats up with me

Orion's POV~

It was finally Monday and the whole gang and I were seated together at the usual table in the cafeteria.  Romeo had still been very insistent I stay home but I wasn't gonna let a couple of bruises and breaks keep me from not staying by his side.  He even proclaimed that we both stay home so he could watch me, but I wouldn't allow that either.  There was still a part of me that would like to participate in sixth period as well, but alas even I knew better than to do that.

Vernon was wearing a pair of those ridiculous, barred sunglasses with black arms and sparkly gold rims.  Surprisingly enough, he wasn't wearing his beanie and instead had his shiny black hair pulled into a very short ponytail on the back of his head.  He took a sip from his carton of chocolate milk, leaning on the table.

"Bruh.  How hardcore can a dude possibly get?  I mean, you were hit by a car and don't even wait two weeks before coming back to school?" He scoffed.  "I woulda taken full advantage."

Abel rolled his eyes, wearing a snapback and his usual blue hoodie.  "We know you would, Vern.  Anyone would."

I just smiled, and pulled Ro -who was sitting beside me- into the tightest hug I was physically comfortable with.  "That's only because I was getting so lonely being home alone without Romey~"

"Would you not?  Please?"  Romeo whined, wiggling out of my grip.

"Awww, how sweeeet~" Vernon coo'd before laughing at my boyfriend's reaction.  Romeo's face tinted red but he focused more on trying to eat his lunch.

Abel looked at the now auburnette after finishing a bite of his burrito.  "So we only have about a week or so to finish the project."

Ro nodded, resting his chin on his hand.  "Yeah.  I think we could do it..."

"We still have to paint literally everything." Abel shrugged.  "But I mean, yeah.  With the both of us focussing on a sepperate piece of it at once..."

"Mr. Roberts will probably be cool of we need a little extra time." Romeo stated.  "I'm sure if we need the extra time, he'll give it to us.  But I don't think it should take even a week to finish it."

Abel nodded.

I leaned towards them, head in my hands as I smirked.  "Might I get a peak at the project~?  I wanna see~."

Ro shook his head with his own little smirk.  "Nope.  We don't plan on showing anyone until it's done."

"Poo."

"You."

"Poo."

"You."

"You're no fun."

"And you're stubborn."

Vernon snorted.  "You two seriously are like a married couple."

I wiggled my eyebrows.  "Not married.  Yet~."

With that, Romeo stood ubruptly and began walking off.  "I'm done here."

Laughing, I turned to reach out to him feeling a slight pain in my ribs doing so.  "N-nooo, baby, come back!"

"I said don't call me that!"

"No, you said don't call you babe."

"Same difference now stop publicising everything!"
