Chapter 17; Obstacles

Start from the beginning
                                    

Me: What're y'all doing here?

Trey: We came to watch the movie.

Me: Sorry it's the girls' night. You're not invited. How'd you even know we were watching a movie?

Trey: Your tweet.

Me: Oh, well. I'm sorry. No boys allowed.

**They looked at Jawan. He winked and wrapped his hands around my waist. Then he leaned into my ear.

Jawan: Let us stay, babe. Please?

**Just those 5 words sent a chill down my spine. I started giggling. I'm mad they're using him to make me let them stay... I'm even more mad they knew it would work.

Me: Fine. You can stay.

Trey: YAY!

**Trey's such a child.

**I stood there with Jawan's hands still wrapped around me. Craig went to do the same to Claire. She jumped up, and almost punched him in the face. Bad timing, after all that just happened to her.

Claire: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were-... Um... Never mind.

Craig: Alright.

**He sat on the couch next to her, and put his arm around her. She slowly scooted away, and removed his arm. She probably doesn't want to be too close to any men right now.

Craig: Are you okay?

Claire: Yes. I-I'm fine.

Craig: You sure?

Claire: Yes, Craig! I'm fine! Could you just PLEASE stop bugging me?!

Craig: Woah, wait... What did I do?

Claire: Nothing. Can we just watch the movie?

Craig: Sure... Whatever...

**I feel so bad. Maybe she should just tell him. Jawan whispered into my ear again.

Jawan: What's gotten into her?

Me: Long story.

Jawan: Oh...

**Craig got up and walked up to me.

Craig: What's wrong with her? What did I do?

Me: Trust me, it's not you. Something just happened that she's in a bad mood about. She'll tell you soon enough.

Craig: Is it so serious, that she's rejecting my every touch?

Me: Yes.

Craig: Miranda, What happened?!

Me: I-I can't say!

Craig: You have to tell me!

Me: I can't! She'll tell you... Soon. Just give her some time.

Craig: I didn't even do anything wrong. But, Alright. Whatever.

**He went and sat back down.

Leona: Trey-

Trey: Leave me alone!

Leona: Can you at least hear me out?!

Trey: No.

Leona: Please. Please. Just hear me out, once. One time and I'll leave you alone for good.

Trey: Fine.

**She took him by the hand and they went outside, onto my porch.
