Friends, Love, and a Stalker (A Flashpoint FanFic)

Chapter 4: The Date

           Finally, after 3 more classes it was lunch time and I was becoming a tad nervous about the date, well more like a lot nervous. Mia poked her head in,

“Ready to brave the cafeteria?”

“Ugh, yes. Where’s Sam?”

“Meeting us there. Why so chipper today?” She asked

“I woke up late.” I said, Mia gave me a look as if to say, I-know-you’re-lying-but-I’m-not-going-to-press-it.

“Come on,” she sighed, motioning me to come with her. I locked my classroom behind me and we set off through the labyrinth of hallways.

The sounds of rowdiness increased as we got closer and closer to the cafeteria.

“Mia, Rian,” Sam greeted us, wrapping an arm around his fiancé, and giving her a peck on the lips.

“Hey guys,” his brother Dean said, smiling at us.

We stood in line for ten minutes. I got a wrap, Mia got a chicken Caesar salad, Sam and Dean both got burgers and fries, and we made our way to the teacher’s lounge.

Kennedy, one of the math teachers, waved at Sam, Dean, Mia, and I.

“Hey, I got a table guys!”

Dean smiled at his fiancé, and sat down next to her. I rolled my eyes, I hated being the fifth wheel.

“Kevin!” Dean called across the slightly noisy lounge, drawing the attention of the small, computer science teacher. “We have an empty seat, come over here.”

The green-eyed, brunette man, stared at us for a second before moving towards us and taking the empty seat.

“H-H-Hello.” Was the only word he said all through lunch. We complained about students, talked about TV shows. It was a little weird that Kevin never spoke up, but maybe he was self-conscious, or shy. I brushed it off, and enjoyed my wrap happily until Mia practically screamed

“OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A DATE!”

I choked on my wrap, “Huh?”

“That’s your I-have-a-date-and-I’m-happy-about-it-look.”

“No? Maybe?”

“So yes. Who is he?”

I looked to my side, hoping to start a conversation with Kevin, but he had disappeared. I sighed, giving into Mia as my escape plan had failed.

“He’s an old friend, an SRU member.”

“Oooo, sexy policeman.”

“Oi!” Sam exclaimed

“You’re sexy too.” She said dismissively “So what’s his name?”

“Michelangelo Scarlatti.”

“Hmmmmm…. Where have I heard that name before?”

Kennedy got to it before Mia, “I’ve met him, at, um. Well, at Kris’ funeral. He was pretty gorgeous.” Kennedy said, giving me a sideways glance

“Probably” I replied shrugging, “He was there.”

“Did you see the details about career day?” Dean asked, changing subjects quickly, his tone slightly annoyed. He was probably still thinking about Kennedy and Mia’s descriptions of Spike

“No?” I said, “aren’t they just asking alumns?”

“Nope. There’s going to be a sign up, and every teacher is expected to bring people in.”
