Thirteen

Agatha

So, after school, we left Asher and Justin. It's actually our plan to leave them behind because we need some alone time together. I mean, with my friends, the girls. Those two boys know nothing about us having this mini-get-together at Cristina's place.

When we left them, we immediately went to Cristina's house. When we entered her room, I quickly hopped onto her bed and laid my self flat. Cristina, Mika, and Irish sat down on the floor and Maddie joined me on the bed. She sat down and we started talking about some stuff.

"I really need to rest." I said while staring at room's ceiling. All of their eyes went to me.

"We all need to, Agatha." Maddie corrected then she dropped her body to the bed and started staring at the ceiling too. "The training killed me though."

"No, not that. I mean, I really need to rest, like, my mind, my soul, my body..." There was a long pause, I sighed then continued, "..my heart."

"That's a bit cringey." Irish chimed in.

We all went silent, until Mika suddenly spoke with a topic. "Hey, Cristina." she called out.

"Yeah?" Cristina asked.

"How's Justin?" she asked, the question got me interested. I quickly got up and looked at both of them.

"What do you mean 'how's Justin'?" I said while looking at both of them.

"I mean, how's Justin, how are things going with him?" Mika continued. My jaw dropped, so as Irish and Maddie.

Based on Cristina's face, she looked so confused. "I, uh, what?" she asked, stuttering.

"Ooh, I smell something fishy." Irish cut in, smiling.

"Don't you see the way how he looks at you? The way he checks you out, asking you about your feeling today?" Mika explained.

Cristina shook her head, "I haven't really noticed."

"Well if he started courting you, what will you do?" Irish asked while we're all looking at Cristina. She really do not know what to say and she was silent for a minute.

"I don't really know." she finally said then looked at us. "He's not my type, actually."

"Sad.." Maddie said while pouting.

We all went silent again then Cristina broke it by opening up a new topic. "Alright, don't worry about me." she said then she looked at me. "How about you, Agatha? Wanna tell us about Mr. Glasses?"

Yeah, Mr. Glasses. We made that nickname for a specific guy. The one who caught my attention the first day of school. The one who's the reason I opened my heart.

"He's handsome." I immediately responded. "And kind..and tall-" I stopped when Maddie broke my talk.

"Bitch, we mean like, how are you and him? Like is there anything we don't know? Are you guys dating or what?" she said while her eyebrows are raised.

"Don't tell us you're already in a relationship." Cristina chuckled then looked at Irish and Mika.

"Oh my god, guys, he's literally a teacher and I am a student. There is no way that is happening. And I don't think it's appropriate."

They didn't respond anything but silence.

Suddenly, a sound of the door being opened filled the room. We looked at the door and found out that it was Justin. "Jesus, Justin! What are you doing here?" I raised my voice. "How did you even know that we're here?"

He closed the door behind him using his foot and started walking towards us. He has a box of donuts in his right hand and coffees on the other hand. He placed the donuts and the drinks at the floor. He put his hands on his pockets. "You guys suck at hiding. I figured it out when you left us at the hallway. I knew something's up." he said then sat down.

"This was suppose to be our girl's night." Irish said while looking at Justin.

"I know, but, now that I am here. It's not a girl's night anymore." Justin smilingly said. We laughed then ate the donuts and drank the coffees that Justin gave.

We've been talking for an hour now, it's currently 11:30 in the evening and we're still talking.

"Do Asher know this?" Justin asked, breaking the talk. "This thing that we are doing right now?"

"I believe not." Irish answered.

"Yeah, and just be quiet." Cristina added. I thought about something for a minute then started talking again.

"Speaking of Asher.." I said. "..don't you guys see something different about him?" I continued then looked at each of them.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Maddie shook her head.

"Seriously? You haven't noticed? The way he talks to us lately? When we are with him he's just silent?" I explained to them. "Also 3 months ago he's really weird."

Justin then spoke, "I have.. noticed." he said and we all looked at him. "A bit. We spent our Friday watching you guys train and he's just silent the whole time, until Jason called him."

"Yeah, something's definitely going on with him." Mika joined.

"He's an extrovert though." Mika only said.

Maddie rolled her eyes and raised her hand, signalling a stop. "Guys, lets not jump into conclusions. Okay? Maybe it's because of the side thing going on with him, but, I'm sure it'll pass."

We all agreed.

It's getting late and we decided to just spend the night at Cristina's house except for Justin. He went home and left us with a pack of water bottles.
