Forbidden Fruit

Chapter 16: Tell Me

Lily's POV
—————

My eyes fluttered open, and I groaned at the blinding light shining through my window.

"Morning." Andrea grumbled, squinting her eyes.

"Good morning." I move the hair out of her face and we smile at each other, and I start remembering yesterday's events.

"Oh god I don't want to go to school." I groan out at the thought of having to get up.

"I don't really want to either, but we should. What time is it?" She sighed and snuggled more into me.

I rolled over and checked my phone, "It's 7:08. We have enough time. Five more minutes."

"Two and then we get up." She bargained and I sighed out and nodded.

We continued being lazy for another few minutes before forcing ourselves to get up. I rummaged through my drawers until I found some of Andrea's clothes. We had slept over at each others houses so much throughout the years, we had designated drawers of each other's clothes at the others house.

I handed her a light purple sweater and dark blue jeans. I chose a navy blue t-shirt and black jeans. We both brushed our hair and kept it down.

We grabbed our bags before heading down the stairs and slipping on our shoes.

I handed Andrea my phone as we headed into my garage and, as usual, my car was the only one there.

Once we buckled in, my bluetooth connected to the car and Gods and Monsters started playing.

After about ten minutes of driving and listening to music, I pulled into a spot in the parking lot of the school.

"We haven't really talked about this yet, but what should we do about, um, telling people?" I asked, glancing at her.

"I think we should wait until the day the bet is over. I wanna see the look on my brother and his friends stupid face's when they realize we're together." Andrea answered with a mischievous grin on her face.

"I love that idea. Plus they'll think Xavier lost when really he did win." I reached over and laced our fingers together.

"What do you mean by that?" She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"He got to be friends with us. That's how he won." She smiled at my response and rubbed her thumb over my knuckles.

I quickly pecked her on the cheek one last time before we got out of the car, we walked side by side, through the parking lot.

Almost immediately after walking in the building and going to our separate lockers, Xavier bombarded me with questions.

"How'd it go? Did you tell her? Tell me! Tell me!" He demanded impatiently, leaning on the locker next to mine.

"It went well." I answered vaguely, opening my locker and blocking his face.

"Tell me more!" He insisted, moving out of the way of my locker door to the opposite side.

"I told her. And I'll tell you more later, but not in school." I grabbed the books I needed and shut the door, starting to walk to my first period class.

"No! You can't leave me hanging!" He whined, following me to our first class.

"Yes I can." I whispered with a mischievous smile on my face as we entered the classroom.

"Hmph." He glared at me as we sat down.

For the next few hours, we continued to whisper to me and throw bits of paper at me to get my attention.
