Chapter Eight: Lunch With The Teammates

It had been a few days since the talk with Aryana. And her words have been playing on repeat for those last few days. It was honestly starting to bother me that I was starting to regret letting myself open up to her.

I was starting to regret letting Diana in, she was only slightly passed my walls and even she noticed the change in my behaviour. And I didn't like it.

I don't like feel vulnerable. 

"Please can you join me and hang out with them with me... please..." I heard a voice say and it interrupted my thoughts. I opened my left eye and saw Diana in front of me.

She looked like she was trying to give me the puppy dog eyes. She did look adorable but it wasn't going to work.

"Why should I?" I asked raising my eyebrow and sitting up against the tree properly.

"Well, I thought it would be fun. And I won't be alone," Diana said and she was twisting her foot slightly in a nervous manner. I looked back up at her.

"Aren't you friends with Bonnie? I have seen you two hanging around at the training when I'm late," I said trying to get as much information out of her.

"Well, yeah. I mean we are sort of friends but I-I like hanging out with you. I want you to join me because I like hanging out with you," She stated and I looked at her confused.

Why did she like hanging out with me? I'm a fucking dick. I mean sure I can be nice sometimes but most of the time I'm a dick.

"I don't see the point in hanging with them," I said shrugging my shoulders. "I already see them enough with training and around the school."

"Come on, it'll be fun. And you don't even have to hang out the whole time. You can leave I just want us to hang with them for a little bit," She said and had her hands in a begging position.

"Please," She added with the puppy dog eyes.

Did she really think it was going to work?

0o0o0

It fucking worked.

The fucking little shit is now going to use that to her advantage. I looked over to my left to see Diana talking to Bonnie who's across the table. The two of them were laughing and I just rolled my eyes.

I already hated it here, and we had just gotten here a few minutes ago.

I was just happy that I was at the end of the table. I didn't want to be next to someone else. I bit into my apple, and I relaxed slightly at the taste of it. 

Why did I let her persuade me. Why am I even here? At a fucking lunch table with my teammates. I already see them enough so why should I see them even more.

I mean sure, they can be funny... and fun to be around. But I just don't see the point in being friendly, and I was already sort of friendly with Diana and Aryana and that was already too much people.

"Sorry I was late guys. I just had some business to take care of," Alexis stated interrupting my train of thought and the group nodded in agreement.

I got the two sausage rolls I brought from canteen. I tapped Diana on the shoulder and she turned her attention to me, and I put my hand out.

She saw the sausage roll in my hand and gently grabbed it and muttered a small but thankful, thank you. I nodded to let her know that I accepted it.

I unwrapped my food and began eating it, it was still really warm which I was thankful for. I sighed softly and quiet as I watched Diana talking to the group.
