Chapter 17: Just Ask Me!!

Monday

"Hey, Dayday- OH MY GOD- WHAT IS ON YOUR NECK?!?!?"

"Kylee, it's not what you think it is."

"Is that a hickey-!?!?"

"SHUSH!!!!! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!!!"

"THEN WHAT IS IT?!?!?"

"He grabbed my neck too hard. That's IT!"

"Okayyyyy!"

"Oh my God, shush! Okay! He gave me ONE hickey!"

"DID YOU GUYS HAVE S-"

"NO! NO! We just made out and he ended up giving me a hickey after I gave him one."

"Oh- okay!"

"DARYIAN!"

Sh*t! That's ROMAN!

"Daryian, I have a HICKEY because of you!"

"Yeah, well I have a hickey because of YOU!"

"I'm gonna go! BYE, LOVEBIRDS!"

"Touche, Daryian."

"No more arguing, okay?"

Roman didn't respond.

"Okay, Roman??!"

"Yeah, yeah. No more arguing!"

"I gotta head to class. Anything you need before I go?"

"Yeah actually- can you pick me up after soccer practice?"

"Of course! What time?"

"5"

"Yeah, I can just stay after school. I have homework I have to do anyway. It's no big deal."

"Okay, see you then!"

Lunch

"SAMARA! Daryian! Roman! HELP ME GET MY GLASSES BACK!!!!!"

"Samara," I said, "give them back. She needs to be able to see!"

"Alright, alright." She handed the glasses to Kylee. "I'm sorry!"

"Don't EVER do that again!" Kylee screamed.

"OKAY! OKAY!"

"If someone has glasses, they most likely NEED THEM!!!" Roman declared.

"I'M SORRY!!!!!"

"Samara, I have glasses yet you never take them when I wear them." I said. "Why do you always take Kylee's?!?!?!?"

"Because- I can do what I want!"

"UGH! I FORGOT TO PUT MY CONTACTS IN LAST NIGHT! Why must you always take my GLASSES!!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!"

"BECAUSE I WANT TO!!!!!!!"

"Daryian- do you want to-"

"Yup- let's go-"

"I am so glad that you also wanted to leave!"

"Yeah- I do not like seeing them fight all the time."

"Daryian, you're still able to pick me up after practice right?"

"Yeah! Why?"

"Oh I was just wondering."

"Oh, okay?"

"I have to go talk to Noah about something. I'll see you after practice." He started to walk away.

"Okay. See you then!"

"Oh, okay. I would stay but I have practice in 15 minutes. I'll text you later!"

"Okay!"
