For the first time in a long time, I sat down at the familiar lunch table with Ashton and Arianna. Ashton sat down next to me, placing his backpack between us, as I took a pepperoni off of my pizza and ate it. It felt weird without Aiden coming out of nowhere and taking a bit out of my food.
I didn't even know if he was back from Australia yet. Nolan wouldn't tell me anything, and I didn't bother asking Gabe. I was looking through my phone when Avery and Nolan came to sit at the already crowded table. "Hello, fucktards." Nolan said with a big grin on his face.
Ashton rolled his eyes at his friend. "Who the fuck are you calling fucktards?"
Avery came and took the seat on the other side of Ashton as Nolan settled next to me. She looked tired, resting her head on the table, but that didn't explain the bouquet in her hands.
"Um, Avery! Are you okay?" Ashton asked for all of us.
