I didn't know what I would be doing without these two crackheads. Leo had been cracking his jokes for past fifteen minutes so the time was passing pretty good.
"What did the janitor say, when he jumped out of the janitor's room?", we waited for him."SUPPLIES!!.", we all bursted out laughing.
We had been sitting in this empty gymnasium, laughing at Leo's jokes, cause me and Gwen had a free period and Leo surprisingly took English in morning with me so now it was his rest time.
I saw Nate earlier in the corridor. Luckily he and ethan didn't have any encounter or I didn't know if they did. What was I expecting I didn't even know that.
The gymnasium was pretty warm cause as compared to the chilly wind outside. So earlier I was feeling a bit warm that i put my coat in the locker, which I wore over My white t-shirt and blue washed jeans.
The led lights were off and the only light illuminating our sitting bodies on polished floor was from day sky which was too covered in cloud.
I mean it was not like no one was allowed to sit here but it was better when others didn't know about it and it was just us. wink*
Gwen was sitting with her back resting with the wall and Leo was laying down with his head on her Lap, which she somehow didn't mind.
I had this feeling that this was just a friendship before but now if I think about them it was more than that for sure. Looking how calm Gwen was right then.
If I would've heard it from someone else, I probably would've laughed.
"I met Ethan earlier with Ester and Kyle," Leo said as he became sober from his laugh and held his beanie on his stomach before started fidgeting with the lose thread of it. "He seemed different, Did you guys meet Aria?"
I didn't tell anyone not even Gwen about the cafe encounter with Ethan. It wasn't a pleasant one. He seriously threatened me.
Was he joking? Yeah I think so.
I shook my head as my laugh died down before I shrugged.
"I saw him on Monday then we...um didn't talk," Gwen slapped his shoulder softly, moved her eyes, probably telling him something.
"Okay one more, w-what kind of hair do IHOP sell?", Leo said with his voice cracking."EGG-STENSION!" Me and Leo burst out laughing, and were rolling on the floor. That was the funniest.
We were stilling badly laughing clutching our stomachs, when a loud snort echoed in the huge walls of gymnasium, which made us laugh on whole another level that we couldn't breathe.

"That w-was Gwen the snorty," Leo's voice cracked as he pointed at Gwen who stopped laughing and a scowl covered her face.
"I DID NOT!" Gwen removed her legs and Leo head hit the floor not too hard with a ow' left his mouth.
Leo rubbed his back of the head but was stilling wheezing. My stomach hurt as tears of laughter left my eyes.
"Where do you even get these jokes from?" Gwen asked him when he got sober a bit and put his beanie on.
"I don't know, I'm not even a dad." He replied.
I almost snorted but as I looked over the time on my watch, I realize I have English in about thirteen minutes.
"Hey Guys! That was amazing with you two but I gotta go, my English class starts just now," I grabbed my bag from floor and ran towards gate.
"Leo ....last one was the best," Turning around to see him, I caught Gwen's eye smile which Leo didn't see cause he was looking in my direction.
Gotcha!
I knew she always liked all those jokes. You couldn't hide it from me Ms. Gwen.
"At your service Muffin," He put his hand around Gwen's shoulder with so much enthusiasm all of a sudden that Gwen almost fell forward on his lap.
They were perfect for each other.
I exited as I heard Leo's laugh and Gwen's curses behind me. My mind wandered to what we used to be and my heart ached.
"What are we doing here?" I whispered as ethan and I entered the dark gym alone. He probably dragged me here.
He put his finger on his pouty lips and gave a shh sound before locking the door behind us.
"I just wanted to have a moment with you...alone," He amused smile tucked on his lips.
"What? here? Are you crazy-
My sentenced was cut off when he put his hand on my waist with one hand and second on the upper back. He held me so close that my whole body tensed with his eyes on my lips.
"Ethan," I whispered but he was lost in me and our bodies in darkness. The windows were even closed so only we could see each other.
He was so close as I could feel his minty breathe soothing my skin. His thumb tracing patterns on my back over my shirt.
Just then he lips fell on mine slowly and gently, we got lost in each other. My arms around his neck, stuffed in his silky hair.
It was just for a sec before we heard pounding and torch light coming through glass of the door.
"HEY YOU BOTH!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" The security was here.

A giggles left my lips as ethan grabbed my hand in his large ones and we took our bags from the floor before dashed out the exit on the opposite side.
I came out of trance as I realized I was going to English class and Ethan is gonna be there too. I saw him standing in the parking lot with kyle beside his bike this morning.
I couldn't do anything about the fact the everything in this school or even my room reminds me of him.
I was so lost in my thoughts, that I didn't see when someone poured the whole bucket of ice cold water all over me.
I shrieked as my blood ran cold. My heart literally jumped out of my chest. A loud laughter of students broke when I realize that I was standing at the door of English class.
It was a mere second before the laughter changed into oohh~~ , as I looked around with stiff neck in the class, I saw Ethan's smirking face.
So that was all what's going on in his mind?
How old was her 6 or 7? To pull these pranks.
His eyes was fixed on me, with giggles filled in air made me dizzy. His eyes left my eyes and travel down to my chest, and the color fade away from his face.
I followed his gaze down and my white shirt was a complete see through now.
No!!
My eyes glazed with tears as I looked back at Ethan before running away from the class.
I went to my locker somehow thankfully and opened it with shaking hands, even my whole body was trembling. At this point I didn't know if it was cold or my nerves.
I took out my coat but the anxiety wasn't helping me to wear it. My gaze was down the whole time, unable to process what to do.
My mind was clogged with heaviness and mixed with dust. If it would've been someone else ethan would've beat the shit out of him. But it was him and I couldn't do anything about it.
Just when I slowly looked up from under my heavy lashes of shame, I saw him. He pushed passed the crowd and came to front but far away from me. He had no expression on his face.
Love has no color but it exist like water. It could form any shape. with rage, possessiveness, power, care but outside it still was a translucent body.
"IS THERE A SHOW GOING ON!" He shouted as the students zipped their mouth and hurriedly cleared out the corridor, leaving just Ethan and me before he started to move towards me with loud steps.
My hands holding my coat were stuck to my chest, covering it from evil stares. was this how we're gonna be now?
He stopped and stood infront of me, eyeing me as I was shaking badly. He took the coat from my hands and covered me calmly.
He closed the front with a soft jerk. and looked up at me. Our eyes met, where mine was teary, his were empty like dead body.
The iniquity and possessiveness lingered in his eyes gave me hope but it was gone in seconds.
"It was your fault you wore white," He paused as he came more closer to me that my back hit the locker and whispered. "You know what, I really regret falling for someone like you."
With that he left me shivering all alone.
I still didn't look up.
°°°°°°
The classes were over and I was on my way to the main gate. I couldn't focus in any class today. Though Ethan wasn't with me after earlier, but still.
My hair was all soppy and wavy by the time they got dry. I flinched back when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Nate.
He was heavily breathing. Was he running?
He stood back up and put his hand on his waist. His chest waving up and down.
"What are you so lost in?" He asked me as we started to walk again."I've been calling your name but you didn't respond."
Oh...
"Nothing, just tired a little bit today," It was not a lie though, my body did feel tired.
"Are you cold?, your lips....are blue. What happened to your hair?" He was about to touch when I cut him off.
"So what did you want to tell me?" Pulling back his hand to his sides, he sighed.
"Are you joining the team?" He was referring to Ice hockey, but he knew my answer too.
"No, I'm not," I put my tangled hair behind my ear awkwardly.
"Well good for you but I might join," He rubbed the back of his neck. As the passing students gave us weird stares.
"I have no problem with you joining Nate, if that's what you're thinking", I said as we reached the main gate.
"I'm gonna be late for my job, bye", I left him with a forced smile on my face which he did return in the same away.
We all knew beth meant so much to us as a friend and all but I couldn't let someone to stop something because of me or her.
It was our passion to play. And if they want it, I had no problem with that...
But what about me?
Didn't I wanna play too?
