Basically Together

Chapter 18~ Outbitching a Bitch...

IMPORTANT:: Wattpad just loves fucking with my story, and it ended up deleting this entire chapter. So, this is the rewritten version, that I'm hoping is close enough to being the same as the original. It's also longer, and includes more details.

Picture to the side is of Reese's school outfit.

Doesn't have to do with the chapter, but I just enjoy this song. Video to the side is of the lyrics to "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance.

Chapter 18~ Outbitching a Bitch

Surprisingly enough, when we entered the food court, the majority of the teenagers here still had their rollerblades on, like Nick and I do.

I looked around the food court, getting good glances on where I should get something from. The first thing that caught my eye was a McDonald's, which I immediately passed on. I just didn't really like McDonald's food. Plus, even if I did, there was a huge ass line awaiting the counter just for people to get a Big Mac or something along those lines.

The food court here could easily be a duplicate of the one in the local mall. They had the same little "restaurants" to shop at, just less of them. I glanced around again to see that there was a 'Saladworks,' some pizza place, and 'Chinamax.' To be honest, the Chinese food at Chinamax was just to die for.

But, I finally decided on my place. As I told Nick, I started to advance towards the unexpected short line for 'Chick-fil-a.'

Once it was my turn to order, I faced the woman behind the counter. "Can I please get a Chicken Sandwich and a water?"

She started to plug something in on the register. "Is that it?" I nodded my head. "Your total will be $4.60." I handed her a five dollar bill, while she gave me 40¢ back in change with the hand she wasn't grabbing the little receipt from.

Once she held the receipt, I quickly took it from her loose grasp, putting my 40¢ in that jar thing. As she gave me a smile, I started to walk over to the counter that had straws and condiments.

I grabbed a couple of miniature ketchup packets, when a man called out "Reese," handing me my bag which contained my chicken sandwich and bottle of water.

I started to examine the food court, debating on where to sit. I looked over at a place that sold smoothies, and noticed Nick standing in line. He just gave me a swift smile, while I finally decided on sitting at one of those two-person tables towards the center of the room.

While I placed my phone down on the edge of the table, I threw my bag onto the table, taking out the chicken sandwich. I lifted up the top bun, squirting some ketchup onto the chicken. Once I placed the bun back on top, I picked up the sandwich, sinking my teeth into the deliciousness.

"Well that's attractive" Nick joke, as he pulled the seat across from me back, taking a seat.

"Shut up" I mumbled, taking more bites of my sandwich. Nick just laughed, putting his phone and food onto the table. The first thing I noticed was what looked like a strawberry banana smoothie, and then a McDonald's bag. He took out a Chipotle BBQ wrap, followed by one of those little yogurt parfaits.

As we continued to consume our food and beverages, we started to engage in small talk here and there. Once my chicken sandwich was completely vanished from the table, I got up, ready to throw out my trash.

Of course, when I glanced over my shoulder, I wasn't shocked to see none other than the squad of popular people beginning to enter the food court. Hunter happened to turn his head to the right, causing him to look dead-on at me.
