Falling For Him

Chapter 16

All of a sudden, someone had jumped out of their hiding spot and shot me straight in the chest.

Angel, you little devil.

She smiled smugly before shooting the blue light and earning the points I was meant to earn. My gun had to wait for 10 seconds to recharge and within in those 10 seconds, the opposite team had taken our points. Angel took off in the opposite direction as soon as she shot the light and my gun still hadn't recharged.

"Come on you stupid shit" I grumbled and smacked the gun into my palm. As soon as my gun recharged, the lights suddenly turned on, signalling the end of the game.

20 minutes finished that quickly?

We made our way back to the equipment room and put away all of our things before walking out to see the leaderboard. My mouth fell open as I looked at the leaderboard.

Blues: 99 points
Greens: 100 points

"WE WON!" Angel cheered from beside me. I turned to her and glared.

"You only won because you shot that blue light! We were way ahead of you guys" I defended our team. She let out an unattractive snort as she waved her hand in a 'whatever' motion. I rolled my eyes at her childish behaviour.

"Want to go grab something to eat?" I asked as we made our way outside and towards my car. She nodded her head eagerly and replied "I'm craving a burger right now"

My face lit up as she mentioned burger.

"I know a great burger place, I'll take you there. Believe me when I say the burgers are amazing because honestly, you'll never eat burgers like that anywhere else" I rambled, unable to contain my excitement which made her laugh at me.

Burgers are my weakness, I can't help it.

BETH

Laser quest was honestly so much fun. Dylan and I always said that we'd go play soon but that plan was shoved deep into our brains until Jack had unknowingly dug it up. Now we were sat in a cute little burger diner called 'Burger Station'. It was a small yet cute place with many vinyl covers plastered against the baby blue walls, different coloured radios on each table with a Cola bottle that held a single flower. Different coloured checkered tablecloths adorned each table, making them stand out against the black and white tiled floor.

Jack had led me to one of the tables near a window that held a blue radio and a white flower in a Cola bottle. We picked up a menu each to scan over and decide what to order. I went for a chicken burger, fries and a Cola whereas Jack went for a beef burger, fries and a Sprite.

"You like beef burgers?" I grimaced.

"What's wrong with beef burgers? Do you not like them?" He looked at me, wide-eyed. I shook my head at his question which made him let out a huge gasp.

"How could you not like beef burgers?" He cried and tugged on his hair, making me roll my eyes at his childish actions. "When our food arrives, I'm making you try some of my burger" he spoke with determination.

As Jack excused himself to go to the bathroom, I unlocked my phone to see a few messages from Jazzy.

JazzyBear: Girlll you're out with Jack Reynolds?! Get some 😏

I laughed at her message as I typed a reply.

Me: Ew you're gross

Her reply was almost instant.

JazzyBear: if you don't take him, I WILL 🤤

Me: um hello? what about Dylan? 🤔

JazzyBear: it's complicated.

Complicated my ass.

As I was about to put my phone away, I received another message.

Sam: wanna hang out today?

I chewed my lip at his question and typed out a reply.

Me: can't. I'm out with Jack rn. Rain check? 🙈

"Sorry about that, some dude was holding us all up" I jumped as Jack spoke out of nowhere. I put my phone away without looking at Sam's reply. Realising what he had just said, I scrunched up my nose in disgust.

"Ew, I didn't need to know about that" Our food arrived shortly as we were in the middle of a heated discussion.

More like an argument.

"First you tell me you don't like beef burgers but now you're telling me you don't like strawberries?" he gaped at me.

"Sorry but strawberries are gross" I shuddered as I remembered the time Dylan covered a strawberry in chocolate and forced me to eat it. I almost gave up on chocolate after that.

Almost.

"God, why am I friends with such people?" Jack just stared at me and shook his head in disbelief.

"I ask myself the same question every day"
