"So who are you guys? " I ask motioning to those in front of me still chewing. I know. I know.
Pointing one by one, "Kyle, Abhi, Sage, Izzy, Raj and Jace. " Mitch finishes with his signature left dimpled smile directed to me.
Yay I could get used to that. Really get used to it.
"What's with the goofy smile new girl? " Abhi I think ,the other Asian American with stubble like hair and a goatee asked.
The other one has longer hair.
"Oh I was just thinking. " I sit up straighter then look at them dramatically pausing just so I seem mysterious.
"You were thinking... " Skai encourages staring intently at me like if I forgot my lines his look will help me remember.
Truth be told I will have my tongue caught if he keeps staring like that, with so much concentration.
"Yeah, about how I will be murdering you guys. " I finish with a sly smirk that I can always pull.
Very maniacal Iris!
Mitch Pouts with his dimple still showing, the blue of his eyes dimming,
"But why would you ever do that, " Pointing to self, " Look at this, I'm young, rich and handsome, you can't possibly murder me. "
I couldn't, hot stuff.
"But I have to avenge my Nutella that you all just swallowed this now."
"Half of it, you mean. "Skai offers smugly.
This guy! It's like, let it be known Iris can't have enough money to buy a full nutella jar.
"Oh, don't even speak when you haven't even paid for your supposed half, " I snap raising a brow.
Let it be also known that I paid for the full jar but I want a refund for half of it!
"Here. " Hands me money, "We're good? "
"Maybe we are closer to being on the same page now ." I shrug, can't give him the satisfaction of looking like he won this one.
Poke. I ignore. Another poke. Ignored. Another poke. I can't take it.
"Will you cut it out! " I scream at Mitch.
"What ,are you ticklish? " He asks with a wicked grin on his face the blue of his eyes beaming with mischief.
I would want to pause and admire those irises but I don't like being poked!
"Mitch I don't think our guest is one of your teddys to play with. "
"Thank you Jace ." I say gratefully with a tight lipped smile.
"It's Kyle, actually. " He replies amused.
Stupid me! I internally face palm.
"Oh, sorry I uh, haha, no worries though I will know in due time. Forgive my forgetfulness. You know what they say, easy to access ROM than RAM ." I chuckle nervously.
Why would I say that?!
"Yeah, who says that and why? " This one I know is Abhi asks.
Stubble like hair, Asian American and has a very soft looking goatee. It's cute.
"He's the tech guy, so he knows all about RAM and ROM and mother board and all that other stuff, if he says nobody says, then nobody says, "Mitch whispers to me shaking his head dramatically at the end.
All I got from all that is that he really needs to work on his whispering skills cause the whole world heard everything.
"Thank you for the vote of confidence but I don't know much, just basics that well put most of the world's famous hackers and coders to shame " Abhi says winking at the end.
And very humble too.
I roll my eyes at him. Internally I was exploding. The good kind of exploding. Like hey, he is arrogant yes, but his looks compensate it so I'll take it. He has this really cute goatee which looks so soft and very dark.
Did I already mention that? I feel like I did but I just had to repeat it. His hair is cut so short so that it looks like little cute spikes. Few days stubble maybe. I said that too? Damn I'm so gone if my head keeps doing this.
"As I was saying before you decided to be such a fan girl, "Mitch fake gags of which I roll my eyes at , " We are having a party this weekend and you are invited. "
Wow that was quick. I look around to see others giving him not so good looks. I realize some people have been awfully quiet at this table and I get ideas. Not very good ideas. I don't always have good ideas anyway.
"I don't know Mitchie, way these beauties are looking at me I have a feeling they don't want me there. " I say acting hurt and hopeless. Pouting a little.
"That's right ,we don't! " Izzy says quickly then adds crossing her arms, "We don't even know you. "
"Ouch ,I thought we were past the whole introduction thing, don't be like that. " I pout a little again sticking my bottom lip out more.
"Must go. "Sage says bluntly her
blue eyes surrounded by thick dark liner emotionless.
Spooky! And I remember her name because it's a kitchen spice. Let's say, your girl likes to cook.
"Blubbering ."She adds looking me dead in the eye the blue in her eyes darkening more and more.
Okay! I don't know what she's got on me already but I would appreciate words that flow.
I look around to see everyone staring at her weirdly. I guess it's not just me who thinks she is not exactly saying anything, I try again.
"So this party Mitchie, how come I am invited? " I ask seeming shocked.
We don't know much about each other so it's only sane that I ask this.
"Yeah, why Mitchie ?" Izzy asks pronouncing the name as if it gives her migraines .
Who ever gave her that voice and then that attitude ,seriously messed the world.
"Easy there tiger ,obviously our hot new friend is invited plus we don't know so many people around here we will actually need her to bring her friends too. I hope they are hot like you are." Kyle says winking at the end brown eyes twinkling.
He called me HOT, twice and winked at me. And I could swear I heard Izzy scoff or groaned or was it grunted .I think I will have to pass out from all this exhaustion of fan girling. But at least I know if I die now, I die a happy man. MAN! Yap I have completely lost it.
"She weird ." Sage's voice says.
Sage's voice says!
She was right in front of me and now she's... Aaah! I almost fell of the stool if it wasn't for a pair of strong veiny arms I recognized as Skai's held me. So he is so strong... But that's besides the point, when did she get behind me ,so close behind me.
