Chapter 44: The new couple in town
A few weeks after the incident, Aubrey spent her entire free time, trying to find a cure but even then she had to do other things.
"Tony, I don't wanna talk to you!" She shouted as she walked away from him.
"Aubrey, please! Let me apologize"
"What part of 'I don't wanna talk to you' don't you get?!"
"Look, I know I've said some hurtful things to you that night but I wanna make amends! Look, your cousins are ready to forgive me, why aren't you?"
"Because I-"
"Is it because of your father? Let me talk to him-"
"Tony, I have to go... tutoring session." She ran away from him and into a classroom and saw two teens, a boy and a girl.
"Come on, give it back!"
"No way, Phillip!"
"Lena!"
"Phillip!"
"Um... Excuse me?" Aubrey spoke softly as the two teens stared at her.
"Um... I'm going to be your t-tutor"
"Oh?"
"M-Mmm Hmm"
Phillip and Lena looked at her up and down.
Lena had pale skin, her eyes were black and she was wearing pink eye shadow, she also had piercings over her eyebrows and on her ears, her short white hair with pink tips made her stand out more to Aubrey.
Phillip on the other hand, was tan skin, with chocolate brown eyes, he had a band aid over his nose, and his hair was black with green stripes that matched his baseball cap.
"What's your name shortness?"
"A-Aubrey, Aubrey-Rose" She covered her face with her hair.
"Aww, it's cute"
"O-Oh, thank you! Um... Maybe you can tell me what you need help with?" She sat down at their table and pulled out notes and books.
"I need help with Geometry"
"Okay" Aubrey turned away from Lena and looked at Phillip,"And... You?"
Phillip was just memorized by how cute she is and bluntly ignored her question.
"Excuse me?"
"I asked what you were struggling with" She started to get uncomfortable with his staring.
"Oh um.. World History"
"Okay! Well, I might have to do separate study sessions between the two of you but if you both are free after school, we can meet up at a coffee shop"
"That sounds nice!"
"I'm down!"
"Perfect! But now I wanna ask the two of you something"
"What is it?"
"Are you going to try?"
"Try what?"
"Try to pass"
Lena and Phillip looked at each other, Lena doesn't have anything to lose but Phillip does.
"We'll try," They both said in usion.
"That's good"
"Where's Aubrey? She's usually on time for lunch" Leah asked.
"More like, where's the chump? He's usually here too"
"Can we just wait at the table? I'm hungry!!" Sera whined and pulled on Ray's arm.
"No, we're waiting for them right here"
"Ugh!!"
Then Aubrey came around the corner with Phillip and Lena right next to her.
"There you are nerdette! Have you seen the chump? Also, who are they?"
"No, I haven't seen Remus, and also these are Lena and Phillip, I am tutoring them"
"Hi"
"Hello"
"Hi! I'm Sera!" She poked her out from behind Ray.
"Name's Ray"
"I'm Leah"
"I'm Phillip"
"I'm Lena"
They all stared at each other, creating awkward tension. Until Ray saw something, smirked and nudged Leah.
"Look at the chump"
Leah saw Remus with the same girl from the other day, they were smiling and laughing.
"How did you manage to do that?" Remus asked her, still laughing.
"I don't even know! You're the one who got stuck in a tree stump!" She laughed.
"At least I'm not the one who got their hand stuck in a wasp nest!"
"Oh hush!"
"Nah!" He said and smiled.
"Pardon me, but am I interrupting something?" Leah smirked as she looked between the two.
"Um.. no" he said, his face turning a bit red.
"Hi, I'm Nymphadora Tonks!"
"Leah, Leah Hamato"
The two girls shook hands and smiled at each other.
"So, are you still joining us for lunch or are you two gonna be busy?"
"Um"
"Ooh, can we, Remus? I wanna meet your friends" She smiled at him.
"Hmm.. okay!"
"Yay!! Let's go!"
"I'm coming! I'm coming!"
"Girls, we have a new guest!"
"Yay, new friend!"
After lunch, Aubrey, Phillip, and Lena decided to grab some snacks from the cafe then study at the playground. So much time had passed that night time began to fall.
"So, what's the square root of 400 Lena?"
"Um... 10?"
"Well, it's closer than your last guess, Phillip, what was one of the main reasons World War II started"
"Communism, right?" He answered while swinging upside down.
"Close"
"Oh" He shrugged.
"Here's an easier question, what time is it?"
"Like 9:20, don't you have a watch, curly?" He snarked at her, chuckling.
"Of course I don't and since it's so late, how about we all go home and we start our separate tutoring sessions another day."
"Alright" Lena said.
"Aw, let's just swing for a little longer!" Phillip suggested.
"You can. I need to go."
"Tch, you wanna be the goody two-shoes all the time?" He chuckled as Aubrey sat down next to him.
"Why do you suddenly care if I'm a goody two shoes? I'm nothing but your tutor."
"Aubrey, I can tell you wanna be like us! Free and no problems whatsoever" Lena explained, cheesing at her.
"Really? How?"
"The way you act around your cousins, we can tell they think you're weak and innocent!" Phillip looked at her, "But your not like that"
"Hmm.."
"I'm gonna grab a snack from the deli! Be back soon" Lena said and ran off.
Phillip looked at Aubrey, "You know, School isn't really my thing, I'm only doing it for my mom"
"Really? What do you wanna do after?"
"I'm thinking famous baseball player or an international bounty hunter!"
"Well, you need to go to college to do either of those.. what about a firefighter?"
"Nah! That's normal boring stuff, who wants a normal life anyways?"
"Some people, not ev" She started but her phone started ringing.
It was Leah, along with a bunch of missed texts from the team.
"Oh god" she mumbled and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Aubrey, are you done with the study session? We have to go on patrol now!"
"Yeah, I just finished, give me three minutes." she said and hung up. "Look Phillip, you and Lena are nice and everything but I need to go, bye."
"See you, curly!" He shouted, it gave Aubrey flashbacks to when Tony called her, "Bunty"
10 minutes later and everyone else was on patrol
"So, how was the study session Nerdette?"
"It was going good, he just..."
"Reminds you of Tony, huh?"
"Mmm hmm"
"Hey, where's Mussy?"
"He's out with Nymph," Leah said.
"Out like it's just a date or out as they won't be-!"
"Please, let's not talk about dating or anything like that!"
"Finne"
Leah looked at the city, she kept thinking about Andrew but she had to move on.
"Then, why do I see him?"
"Dunce face, what are you talking about?"
"I see him!"
"Dunce face, he's out, somewhere away from where we normally patrol, there's no way we could see them."
"But I see them right there!!"
"Sera, come on!"
"Just look!!"
The girls looked at her direction and gasped.
"I told you so!"
"Well damn" Ray smirked.
"Can we watch them! PLEASE!!"
"No, let them have their privacy!" Leah pulled her away.
"We won't interrupt! We're just gonna watch the chump make a move"
"Fine!"
"Yay!!"
"Just be quiet, we don't want him to know"
"Alright, alright!"
"Aww, they look so cute together!" Aubrey said.
"Yeah, they do!"
"Now I'm curious, how did you get sprayed by a skunk?"
"Don't ask, Mussy" She smiled, adopting the nickname Sera gave him "Your friends are so nice!"
"Aww, thanks, they really like you too"
"I have a question"
"I have an answer"
"Does Ray like me? She seems angry"
"Yeah, she likes you, she just doesn't like showing her feelings and it sometimes takes something big to impress her"
"Ohh"
"But trust me when I say don't worry about her, she's like a teddy bear under all the toughness"
"It's just... I really like hanging out with you and I don't wanna make anyone uncomfortable!"
"Aww.. you aren't making anyone uncomfortable.. in fact, your doing the opposite"
"Really?"
"Yeah! You're.. Sweet, kind and they easily warm up to people like that.. just like how I'm doing with you"
"Oh?" She blushed madly, as he complimented her.
"Yeah, also.. I really like hanging out with you too"
He grabbed her hands as he blushed madly too, this caused Nymph to smile and gently kiss him on the cheek.
"Are you getting all this dunce face?"
"Every word!"
This made him blush darker and smile.
"My turn" he said, turning towards her. He leaned a little closer to her and gently kissed her.
She blushed and kissed back. Meanwhile the girls were screaming in joy as their best friend finally got a girlfriend.
"Damn boy!!"
"Yes!! Our prayers have been answered!"
"Mussy has a girlfriend! Mussy has a girlfriend!!"
"This is wonderful!!"
This means they completely forgot about patrol and waited until the next day to mess with them
"Oooh!! Mussy!!" Sera yelled.
"Hmm?"
"How are you?"
"I'm good, what about you all?"
"We're good, you're glowing!"
"Aww"
"So did you use tongue or no?" Ray leaned against the wall, smirking.
"Hmm.. it's possible"
"OKAY! That is not what we had planned!" Leah exclaimed.
"Well, did you or not?"
"Maybe, now what were you getting at Lele?"
"We each had a plan to tease you, Ray went off script"
"That's how I normally tease any of you! Now do you wanna hear the rest of our script or not?"
"May as well"
"S-So, did you go home with her?" Aubrey said, red from embarrassment.
"Yeah, I walked her home"
"Did you? Or did you go inside with her?" Ray said, monotone.
"Well, she did invite me inside for a bit"
"Okay, I'm done! Let's go to class" Leah said, wanting to avoid the conversation that she started.
"You're the one who wanted to use the script!"
"Not anymore!"
"Just answer this! Did you stay the night at her place or not?"
"No! One, my mother would kill me and two, we just got together last night, that was going way too fast!"
"You got a point, okay! Now we can leave"
