Sit next to Chris. (JL) (C)

Heading towards your lunch table you try to keep your thoughts away from what you did. You just sit on Jason's crotch like it was nothing, and you got turned on by it.

But when you arrive at your table to sit down. You hear your friends immediately pounce on you. "Dude, what the fuck are you doing?" Chris asks confused.

"What?" You say trying to act innocent.

"You went towards Jason's table first..." Jeff says sounding disappointed in you.

"Also we saw what you did, like come on dude," Valerie says adding in.

"Yeah and so what?" You say crossing your arms, a bit stubborn. You see Donna getting frustrated with you, "So what? Ash this is Jason we're talking about! Our bully!" She says slamming her hand on the table.

You bite your lips and think for a second. You don't know why they are making a big deal out of it. You just went and talked to Jason that's all. But you can understand their concern.

Jason wasn't just your bully, but also your friend's bully. Every day you remember how Jason made you and your friend's life miserable. How he belittles you and everyone you know.

"I'm sorry guys, I just can't help myself." You say apologizing to your friends.

"It's fine Ash just don't forget your friends alright," Donna says pinching your nose.

"Let's just switch the topic then..." You hear Valerie say to you.

"Let's talk about how Ash is a crazy person who’s actually going through with the joke," Jeff says adding in.

"Yeah, and guess what I'm enjoying this joke." You say confidently

Chris laughs at this and pats your back. "Yeah, we can tell seeing how you want to get handsy with certain people."

"What the fuck Chris?" You say rolling your eyes annoyed.

"Come on Ash don't pretend you're not acting like a slut right now," Valerie says adding along.

"Hey at least Ash didn't come back pregnant," Jeff chimed in cheerfully.

"Jeff, that's simply not possible," Donna says reacting to what Jeff says. Jeff hearing this tries to defend himself but it turns into a spew about male seahorses carrying babies.

You can help but smile a bit and see normalcy within your friend group. But then you notice Chris looking at you with a smile.

Seeing this you call him out. "What's so funny?" You say smiling back at him

Chris laughs a bit and scratches his neck, he knows he has been caught staring. "I'm just glad that you're back to normal, being happy again." He says gently.

This made your heart flutter a bit, as you can't help but smile even more. Then you hear the lunch bell ring, you say goodbye to your friends and prepare to head into class with Valerie.
