"Okay don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you...",and with that Ezra got up calmly and landed a fitting punch directly on Matthew's nose shocking both Ciara, Astrea, Mathew and about everybody else in the cafeteria except for a girl at the right corner of the cafeteria who was quietly eating her food ,not really paying attention to her , rumour was it that she was deaf but that wasn't the concern right now, the main concern was that Ezra who had always been calm and collected had punched a guy in the nose and they were pretty sure they heard it crack.
Matthew stumbled back and looked up at Ezra and then his hand which was covered with the blood from his nose and instead of fighting back like everyone expected he ran away like a scared little kitten,but Ezra wasn't done yet,"Let this be a warning for anyone of you that plans to mess with Astrea now or in the future,I'll do much worse too you than I did to Pierson", people say Private school students are easily scared and... they're right,the speech was more than enough for everyone to go back to eating like nothing ever happened and it was just another day in the cafeteria.
While everybody went back to eating , Astrea sat there blinking and thinking 'what just happened?', repeatedly in her head, she eventually regained composure and turned to look at him "You know you didn't have to do that right?",Astrea said while eating, making sure he understood that.
"No I did,I will not have anybody disrespect my girlfriend, especially in my presence", Ezra said with a dark look in his eyes which Astrea noticed was very different from how you usually looked when he spoke to her, but she would be lying if she said she didn't find it hot the way he protected her ,so she let it slide.
"Okay and you're sure you weren't jealous?", Astrea said deciding to tease him.
"Jealous?Me?",I don't know what you're talking about.
"Yes ,you",Astrea said with a 'who else's look.
"I have no Idea what you're talking about",Ezra said shaking his head in denial.
Astrea leaned closer and whispered in his ear "Are you sure about that,love?",Astrea whispered making Ezra a stumbling,mess so much so that he said "Okay maybe I was a little jealous ",Ezra admitted.
"And there is no need to be ", Astrea assured him, while they were talking Ciara just sat there looking at them realizing that they forgot she was here,but she wasn't complaining, she had known Astrea for a long time and if this guy made her best friend happy she would do everything possible to support the relationship.
*RING**RING**RING*
That was the bell, and lunch was over,Ezra, Astrea and Ciara all got up and made their own out of the cafeteria, Ciara made her way to her class and Ezra insisted of walking Astrea to her's and then he went to his.
The remaining to classes went normally without a hitch until the literature teacher announced she got the highest in the pop quiz which made everyone give her dirty looks, People could be really competitive in an honour role class.
*RING**RING**RING*
That was the bell and Astrea packed up and was ready to leave, she was so happy that her teacher didn't go 'the bell doesn't dismiss you, I do', because it would have been extremely frustrating.
Astrea made her way to find Ezra so she could tell him goodbye, and then she planned to find Ciara so they could go home together as usual ,but Ezra found her first and hugged her from behind "Who are you looking for?",Ezra asked,"You, but it seems you found me", Astrea said while laughing.
"Well now that you've found me I have to find Ciara so we can go home ", Astrea said as she Started walking.
"Let's go , I'll take both of you home ",Ezra said taking her hand I'm his.
"Really?", Astrea asked for Ezra to nod,"Let's go ",she said with a smile ,it didn't take them a long time to find Ciara ,they found her walking the halls , probably looking looking for Astrea,Ezra waited for her while she went to go and meet Ciara.
"Hey girl ",Ciara said with a smile.
"Hey Cici, let's get going, Ezra is going to drop us of", Astrea said making Ciara look over Astrea's shoulder where she saw Ezra standing there waiting for her.
"Then what are we waiting for let's go, anything to save me from walking ",Ciara said and they made their way to where Ezra was waiting for them, he took Astrea's hand and they made their way to the car, Astrea sat in the front with Ezra while Ciara sat in the back.
They dropped Ciara of at home first and then Ezra planned to drop of Astrea , on their way to their house Astrea brought up the menu,"So we didn't get to finish talking about the menu last time, so you can just send me the list of things you are good at making and then I'll design and print the menu", Astrea said.
"Really?",Ezra said making Astrea nod.
"What would I do without you?",Ezra asked with a smile,"well good thing you don't have to find out ", Astrea said with a smile just as wide his.
"Now the name, have anything in mind ?", Astrea said opening the note pad on her phone ready to write it down.
"Yeah,since you're helping me so much, I did my research and found out Astrea mean Starry night, so I was thinking Starry bites,in honour of my girlfriend",Ezra said turning to look at her.
Astrea looked visually shocked and happy all at the same time but she didn't argue"Thank you, Starry bites it is ", Astrea said writing it down so she wouldn't forget, who ever said that smart people have perfect memories was living in a whole different world.
They finally got to her house and Astrea turned to look at him before opening the door "Thanks for dropping us of ", ready to get down but Ezra pulled her towards him and kissed her , he pulled her towards him and kissed her , he pulled away and rested his forehead on her's,his voice barely audible "You're welcome ",he pulled away from her and said a rather rapid goodbye and ran inside,"I'll see you tomorrow",Ezra yelled and was sure she didn't here,he smiled as he got into his car and drove away .
