Chapter 71 - Thud

Edward Johnson-He was a shut in and most likely an introvert.His closest friends comprised of his basketball teammates and recently,a girlfriend of one of his teammates.

"Are you sure about this?".Eddie said to someone on the phone

"Don't fuck with me Johnson.Of course,I'm sure".The person on the phone replied

"Yes".Eddie hung up the phone

I'm sorry guys.I really am but it's not in my power.I can't change any of it

Eddie started tearing up.He wanted no part of this.

The guys that they recently beat to get their cash just kidnapped his mom

"Oh mom".Eddie sobbed

If he wanted to see his mum again,he had to bring his friends to a certain location.

"Yo,Eddie".Julian called out.It was already lunch break

"Hey".Eddie waved

"You went out pretty fast there, anything wrong?".

"Nah, everything's good". Eddie's voice cracked

"You sure?".Julian noticed the crack in his voice

"Yep".Eddie said, firmer this time.

"Hey y'all".Tara and the rest of the gang arrived at the table

"Yo".Julian gave a simple wave to Tara

Tara nodded as a reply

"Huh...".Chris started "Anything wrong?".Chris exchanged looks between Tara and Julian

"What's wrong Chris?".Tara turned to him

"Uhm.. Nothing.Just thought that greeting was a little weird but no worries I guess".

"Yeah.No worries".Tara snuck a glance at Julian

He reciprocated her gaze and they both knew what the other was thinking.

'Ring,ring'.The bell for last period went off

"See you guys later".Tara ran out of the cafeteria

"Man,what's wrong with her".Bruce stared at her retreating figure

"Uhm..yeah,I have to go to the bathroom real bad".Julian made a gesture of holding his pants like he was about to pee his pants

"Alright".Bruce chuckled as he watched Julian run off

"We really need to tell them".Tara said,straddling Julian

"Yeah I know".He said exasperated

They went back to their hiding spot.The feeling of ambiguity associated with their new relationship turned them on like crazy

"Come on,we gotta get to class".Tara said getting off of Julian

"No...". Julian pulled Tara back

"Come on".Tara giggled

Julian stifled that giggle with a kiss.The kiss deepened and the sexual tension became so stagnant in the air.

"Julian".Tara muttered.

His eyes shone brightly,their spot was somewhat dark but that didn't matter.The angles on his face seemed to get sharper and his lips were very compelling.

"Tara".Julian teased with a short kiss.He loved this moment,he loved every moment with her.

Julian leaned in, tightening his grip on her hips.

'Thud'.They immediately moved apart

"What was that".Tara tried to calm her racing heart

"Just some old junk".Julian tried to do the same thing.

"I think I should get to class".Tara placed a hand on her chest and ran off

"Damn it".Julian punched the wall

"Ouch!!".That was a dumb thing to do
