Signals Crossed

Mel glanced around the cafeteria looking for Ad-Rock.

"He is in the joint." Mike said.

"Principal Shitbaum? Shit." Yauch said then shook his head. "What the fuck did he get caught doing now?"

Mike smirked and raised his eyebrows rapidly up and down.

Mel pressed her lips together in both frustration and jealousy.

"My King is in trouble." Suzie said with a sigh as she slid onto the bench beside Mike.

"Whose fault is that?"

Yauch lightly nudged her knee with his.

Instead of Suzie taking Mel's comment as the insult it was intended to be, she smiled and said, "His...of course. He followed me into the girls bathroom just to kiss me."

"Is that all?" Mike asked in disbelief.

Mel wanted to cry, but held it in.

Suzie smiled and let out a light hearted giggle.

Just then Ad snuck up on all of them and straddled the bench to face his girlfriend.

"Omg, you're free, Baby!"

Adam hugged her then began whispering near her ear.

"Oh brother." Yauch said under his breath. He then turned to Mel and noticed how uncomfortable and upset she appeared at the moment.

He mouthed the words "Are you okay?"

Luckily she was saved by the bell.

They all began to gather their things.

"Hey, Suz is havin' a party tonight. Your asses better be there." He said then placed his arm around her. As they walked off, he lowered his hand and slid it into her back pocket.

"There is no way I am going to that fucking party." Mel said then began walking away from Yauch.

"Hey! Hey!" He called after her. He jogged after her and finally caught up to her as she exited the cafe. "You have to go."

She faced him. "Why?"

He smiled. "Cause I'm goin' and I want you there."

Mel's facial features softened and she hugged him. "Maybe I will go to hang out with you."

He smiled then kissed the top of her head.

She looked back at him. "Where does the bitch live?"

Yauch laughed out loud. "I will find out from Ad."

"Try to find a time when his tongue isn't down her throat." She said then walked away.

Yauch watched her walk away. The second bell snapped him out of his thoughts. He was late to math class.
