Everytime we Touch

Chapter Ten

"Please tell me again why we are having the guys over tonight?" Claire groaned. She had just sat down with Sarah in the cafeteria, looking exhausted. Troy and Sarah had decided it was best if Sarah was the one to break the news to Claire.

"You are the one who planned tonight." Sarah pointed at Claire with her fork. "You were excited about it this morning."

"That's when it was just the three of us." Claire frowned, "So I guess the real question is why the hell is Troy coming?" Claire was watching her best friend intently. Before Sarah could even say a word, Claire cut her off, "Don't tell me you forgave him! Sarah this is ridiculous."

"Can you just hear me out for a second." Sarah pleaded. "He broke things off with Kelsey."

"I'm sure he did." Claire mumbled under her breath, "What does this mean for you then?"

"It means I'm going to see what happens. Claire you know how much I like him, and I can't seem to stay away." Sarah explained looking down at the table, "We are not labeling it. Just going to see what happens."

"I do not like the sound of this." Claire groaned still watching her best friend.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Claire grumbled looking up from her phone. She had staked her claim on her top bunk and had not really said much since supper. Sarah had painstakingly over thought every aspect of the night. She had remade her bed twice (because the first time looked like she was trying to hard). She had fluffed the pillows on the couch (both girls had even forgotten they had couch pillows), and she completely tidied up the room. There was no longer a pile of random movie discs sitting on top of their DVD player, and she had managed to stuff all their clothing either into their closets or dresser.

Sarah looked around the room one more time before she reached for the doorknob, opening it. "You are early." She stated nervously, barely catching Claire's eye roll.

Roger pushed passed Sarah, sitting down on the couch, grabbing the freshly popped bowl of popcorn, leaving Troy and Sarah standing awkwardly together at the door. They both moved in for a hello kiss at the same time bashing their noses together. Reaching up at the same time, they collided once more.

"Wow, watching you two is... just wow." Roger laughed grinning madly. Sarah merely blushed and motioned with her arm that Troy should just come in. "Troy told me you two talked, so I took the liberty and brought a new movie to watch."

"What!" Sarah exasperated, "We already agreed to watch Harry Potter."

Troy came up and wrapped his arms around Sarah, this time kissing her softly, "Beautiful, even I know you use Harry to feel better, and I don't think that's necessary anymore. Fairly certain we took care of that earlier."

Sarah blushed as she watched Claire and Roger exchange a look behind Troy. "It's not what it sounds like!" She squeaked, pulling away from Troy and heading over to the couch to grab whatever movie it was from Roger. Looking down she groaned. "And how many times have we watched this one?" She held up 'definitely, maybe' to show Claire.

"What is wrong with you two tonight?" She groaned rolling on her back to stare at the ceiling. "There are some new rules for movie night." She sat up again dangling her feet off the top bunk watching everyone, "You two," She pointed at Sarah and Troy, "Are to keep the new relationship bullshit to a minimum tonight, and you" She now rounded on Roger, "Need to find a new favorite movie. Like what kind of guy are you?" She rolled her eyes joking, with a small smile, "But for the simple fact of ending this night sometime soon, you get your way tonight."

She jumped down, "I'll be back. I want to grab some more sodas."

By the time she came back to the room, Sarah was already sitting on the floor leaning against Troy's legs, while Roger had not moved. He was still shoveling pop corn in his mouth, and the movie had not even started yet. The tv was showing the play menu. Reaching over to the DVD player before climbing back onto her bed, Claire pressed play.
