Lunch rolled around and Harrison asked if I wanted to sit with him
I of course said yes...
I also told Brynn to meet at the table too but she said she wanted to eat in the hallway...
Obviously, I'm on my way to her right now to get her and see what's happening
I opened up the doors to the small hallway and saw only Brynn, sitting against the wall next to some lockers
"Brynn?" I look to her
"Oh hey Lilly," she said noticing me
"Why didn't you tell me?" I frowned and sat down next to her
"He didn't hit me... He was taking... pictures of me..." she looked down
I didn't know what to say so instead, I hugged her
"Why don't you want to come eat with us?" I whispered into her ear
"Cheltons table is right next to Harrisons..."
"Oh... Well who gave you a ride home last night?" I said now lifting my head away
"Stephen..." she said shyly
"STEPHEN?" I smile, trying to cheer her up at least a little
"I was thinking it was going to be like Mayleigh (Brynns neighbor) and I was going to suggest we sit with her..." I reply
"Well... We can go sit by Stephen..." she looks up at me
Instead of replying, I took her hand and pulled her to her feet. Then we walked out of the hallway and to the cafeteria
Opening the doors felt like such a cliché. Everyone looked at us
We ignored them and walked to Stephens table, they, as in Stephen AND Nick, were already looking at us
"Can we sit here?" I asked Stephen
"Oh, yeah of course." He said and moved over quickly
Nick kept his eyes on me
"No Harrison?" Nick said with maybe an attitude?
WAIT
HARRISON
OOPS😬
"Oh yeah, hold on really fast," I said and walked to his table, where he was also looking at me from
"C'mon," I said to him and he got up and followed me back to Stephens table
Lunch was lowkey awkward the whole time but we got through it
- - - -
But during lunch I texted my dad that I wanted a job
And now, I'm on the bus, he just sent me a picture of a lifeguard, paying job, that's near and available
Oooo
I am really good at swimming and always wanted to be a lifeguard, especially working with such hot guys...
Me/ Oooo that looks SO GOOD
Pp man🤠❤️/ Good cause I went on the website and they're doing interviews TODAY at 5
Pp man🤠❤️/ And I already signed you up 10 minutes ago...
Me/ WOW! YAY! THANK YOU!
Pp man🤠❤️/ I'm not home right now but you should get a good bathing suit for it
Me/ Wow dad you're telling me to buy new clothes😂
Pp man🤠❤️/ Nooo. I'm saying to go to Target when you get home and get one professional looking swim suit.
Me/ 1. Professional looking swim suit?? 😂 2. I don't have a ride and I'm sure as hell not walking there.
Pp man🤠❤️/ 1. Something like what they wear in Baywatch... But less reveling 2. Ask the neighbors kid, he has a car
DOES HE MEAN NICK
Me/ ... That'll be awkward as fuuu
Pp man🤠❤️/ So you're walking?
Me/ Alright fine.
Well... This'll be interesting...
...
Me/ Feel like driving me to Target?👀
Nick/ Why?😂
Me/ I need to buy a swim suit...
Nick/ Alright, I'm convinced, I'll start the Jeep
Me/ Shit dude I'm not even home yet😂
Nick/ When you get off the bus, just come straight here
Me/ Oh okay
That was pretty easy...
- - - -
I got off the bus and walked to Nicks house
His Jeep was already on the driveway and started
I walked up to the passenger side door and looked in, Nick was looking down at his phone
I opened the door and I swear he jumped a little
"God. Not even gonna let me know you were there?" He said looking at me
"I'm here." I smiled then took off my bag, I throw it to the back, and got in
It smells like Nick in here... And it smells really good...
"So, to Target?" He said looking at me
I nodded my head and smiled, putting my seatbelt on too
"So why the sudden urge to get a swim suit?" He asks
"Well, I might be getting a new job and I wanna look good and professional" I reassured myself
"Professional swim suit? And wait, shit, are you talking about working at The Bay?" he said looking at me
(The Bay is the water park that it's at/for)
"Yes..." I reply
"I work there..." He says seriously
He works there...
"Well, little tip, buy something red" he stated
I guess Baywatch is the look
