Chapter 10
Julia's POV
"I'm so bored!" April moaned. "Can we do something?"
"It was your idea to come and watch Jack do football practice." I pointed out.
"Ok, ok. But I'm bored now. And Jack's ugly now that I think about it." She tapped her chin thoughtfully tapped said,"What did I ever see in him?"
I rolled my eyes at April. "Well do you want to go find Marriot then?"
"They're at Michelle's home."
"Who's Michelle?" I asked.
"Marriot's friend." She mumbled.
Several hours later, April's car pulled up in front of my home.
"Hey April!" I yelled, running down the steps. "What's the car for?"
The heavily tinted window rolled down to reveal April's ever cheerful face.
"The car's so we can drag Andrew back kicking and screaming and interrogate him." She said, beaming.
I stepped back, horrified and confused.
"I'm kidding." She, giggled.
Phew.
"It's actually because I've brought 2 friends along." She rolled down the window of the backseat. I also noticed someone sitting next to April up front. She waved at me.
"Get in please." April smiled.
"Well since you said please." I decided.
"Hi Michelle. I'm Julia." Michelle nodded.
"So you're who Marriot talks about sometimes.
"Every so often your name slips out."
"So I'm a real conversation starter?" I asked.
Michelle laughed. "No. I ask, but Marriot is always busy doing airhead stuff with April."
"Hey!" April and Marriot shouted in unison from the front of the car.
I smiled. I could get along with this girl.
"Exactly where are we going?" I asked, ducking my head to avoid hitting the frame of the car as I got in.
"Uhhh..." Marriot pursed her lips. "Anyone hungry?"
A few minutes later, we were sitting in a fancy restaurant, playing 'Where's Wally' on the child's menu.
"Why did we come to a mall? I thought you guys were going to stalk Andrew."
Marriot and April exchanged glances. "Well, he did mention he'd be at this mall today, so we thought we'd start here." Marriot explained.
"And besides, there are loads of clothes shops!" April added, grinning like she'd won the lottery.
I sank further into my chair, wondering if I could use a bathroom break as an excuse to escape.
Michelle sat next to me, head resting in her hand, twirling a straw in her soda as she stared at the wall mounted TV.
"Anything interesting?" I asked.
She shook her head distractedly, turning her head back to the table, which she somehow found more interesting than the news. Go figure.
I tapped my fingers impatiently on the table, wishing for something interesting to happen.
At that moment, I saw a familiar face sidling up to our table warily. The figure tapped April on the shoulder, who turned around with half a fry in her mouth. When she recognised the face, she choked on her fry, causing Marriot to turn around to see what was going on. Her hand flew to her mouth, hitting April on the stomach, resulting in April spitting out her fry. Right into the figure's face.
Chaos insued the moment a kid from a neighbouring table yelled "FOOD FIGHT!"
Idk I just got bored so I thought I might as well continue writing something.
