Between Two

Chapter 15

"Tara said no hiding out in the library." I jumped as both boys slammed their hands on the table in front of me, leaning in.

"Way to give me a heart attack." They smiled at me, pulling back a bit.

I leaned back in the chair I was sitting in, raising an eyebrow in challenge, "Also, I'm staying in the library. You two can go. I rather be alone." I said it triumphantly then frowned when they stared me down, a defying look in their eyes.

"Nope, that is not happening." Chris stated, while Jonah grabbed my backpack from the floor.

"I'm staying, and I don't care about my backpack. Take it far away from me." Jonah and Chris glanced at each other, smirking.

"Fine, have it your way." Chris took a step around the table towards me and I stood up, backing away.

"Aren't you hungry?" I shook my head, eyeing Chris cautiously as Jonah grabbed my book from the table and proceeded to shove it in my backpack.

"Chris, I swear to Go-" I went to make a run for it towards the bookshelves, but he grabbed me by the waist, lifting me over his shoulder.

"I hate you two so much right now." Chris chuckled, holding onto me firmly while Jonah laughed, waving at me from behind.

"You know, I really like this view." I groaned, feeling heat rush to my cheeks while Chris adjusted me on his shoulder.

"He's got a point." Jonah commented, and I huffed out in irritation as one of them patted my ass.

"Okay, who was that? You freaking perv." I could feel everyone's eyes on us as Chris pushed open the door to exit, which made me uncomfortable.

"The perv you are speaking of is Jonah. He can't keep his hands to himself." I sighed, hoping Chris would put me down soon.

"First off, I am not a perv, secondly, it was an accident." I rolled my eyes, wondering where the hell they were taking me.

"Hurry up, Chris." He grunted when I hit him with my hand making me smile.

"Dump her body over there." My eyes widened as I heard Jonah say it loudly.

"Wait, wha-" Chris laid me down on the grass and I quickly sat up, looking around.

Jonah threw my backpack down, sitting down next to us, "Welcome to J&C's turf, you're only allowed if you're VIP status, which you are." I glanced around, seeing no one else.

"Wow, I feel so special. Where is everyone?" Chris sat down next to me while Jonah set an In-N-Out bag in front of me.

"Just like Jonah said, this is our place and it's yours now too. Everyone here at school knows this, we eat here everyday because I don't really like interacting with people besides Jonah... and now you." I smiled, suddenly getting giddy about this. What is happening to me?

"So, basically it's just you two here alone?" They both nodded and Chris handed me a soda.

"Yup, and now you. Whenever you want, just come over here with us. Tara could come too since she's your friend." Jonah said, grabbing another In-N-Out bag.

"I got you a chocolate milkshake." Chris smiled, setting it down next to me.

"You guys are... I think I love you both." They both chuckled, Jonah tossing me ketchup packets.

"I just want you to be comfortable and don't be self conscious about eating because if I'm being honest, Jonah eats like a pig." Chris started snorting and Jonah threw a fry at him.

"At least I don't act like one all the time, for you it just comes naturally." I bit my lip to keep from laughing, pulling out the food they got me.

"Ouch, now that was just harsh, Jonah." I grabbed a ketchup packet then looked up at Chris as he tapped my shoulder. 

"This is for you." He handed me a rose and I took it from him, not being able to contain my smile.

"Where'd you get this?" Chris only shrugged, slightly blushing.

"Thank you." I sat up, immediately wrapping my arms around him, knocking him down onto his back.

I laughed, moving to kiss his cheek as he wrapped his arms around my waist, "You're welcome, Avi." He chuckled, moving his head back a bit so he was staring into my eyes.

He caressed my cheek, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I moved away from him, turning towards Jonah to see him staring at the food in front of him with a sullen look on his face.

"Hey, Jonah." He looked up at me, putting on a smile.

"What?"

"This." I hugged him too, laughing as he fell back as well.

"Oh my fucking god, Avi, that scared the crap out of me." He laughed, hugging me close to him.

"Thank you so much." I pulled away, leaning back so I could see both of them.

"You two are the best, thank you, thank you, thank you." I sat back, moving to grab my food as they both looked at each other.

Something passed between the two, I could tell. I just don't know what. They both looked ready for a challenge and I do not want to know what it's about.
