Adi smirked right back. "Glad you know who's the boss,'' he responded in a light tone. He wasn't really. In his opinion, he wasn't. Both he and AJ were even in their friendship. "That's not enough? How about this then?'' The fourth year reached out, grabbed AJ's nose and tugged. Not hard, though. Adi smiled broadly. This wasn't something you could just do with anyone. They were likely to blow up at you. "Deal.'' He didn't even need to think twice for that. Like he thought about Benny, life without AJ was something he could not picture. "She's Benny's guardian Angel though.'' So she was an angel of some sort. "It's going to get a lot harder to do that this year, Valentine, so don't get too confident.'' Hehe.
"Same here." AJ was like a bright light in his life. He saw that now, she having cheered him up so fast minutes ago. "Pretty unusual for him, isn't it?'' Adi said, referring to Benny. "Maybe Angel'll have him speaking even more by the end of the year. Bet you they'll be together by then.'' He was putting a lot of faith in his bestie here. Then he felt AJ's hands around his ear, her lips just grazing it before she spoke, her breath warm. "I have nothing to say,'' was the reply as he grinned. "Determined to hear I like you the most, aren't you?''
"Yeah, I did.'' Adi was nervous about showing it to her. Did it show? He hoped not as he wanted to come off as confident. Which he was most of the time. "I hope you'll think the same after you've seen it.'' Positive. Adi needed to think positively.
The Puffer just realised that the Headmistress had started giving her speech. Thankfully it was short because he was really hungry by now. And then the food appeared. "Remember to eat like a little lady,'' Adi joked to AJ. He wasn't at all bothered by her taking huge bite out of things. She was perfect in his eyes.
"Don't kid yourself." AJ wasn't the kind of person to listen to anyone. But if anybody would get through to her, it would be the boy sitting next to her. He knew how to talk to her. Never once had he tried to boss her around. He had gotten stern with her a few times, but that was only when AJ had done something risky. She knew that he only did it because he cared about her well being. That was a true friend right there. It looked like Adi was pulling out all the stops when he tugged on her nose.
"That's better." AJ was glad they had a deal, even though she knew he wouldn't refuse her. Did they just become mega best friends?
"I guess so. She does seem to bring out the best in him." Guardian angel. Hmm. There was her confident Adi.
"We will just see about that." The lion would not be going down without a fight.
"Very unusual." It was amazing how much a person could change with certain people.
"I think they make each other better." Well, Angel was being all mopey right now, but that was just because she was confused. That would all change soon.
"You think so? Do you think you will ever date somebody?" Adi was such a nice, and cool guy that she was sure there were plenty of girls that wanted to date him. Why hadn't that come to her mind before? One thing for sure was that the second year wouldn't be okay with another girl all over her Adi. She tried to give him a genuine smile, but she wasn't sure if she was convincing. The new thoughts that came in her mind were playing a toll on her mood. She had stopped liking him last year. Why now were these thoughts bothering her?
"It's okay. I know you and Benny have a good thing going." Bromance.
"I'm so excited. Nobody has ever made me something before." Besides her sisters, but that hardly counted. Think the same? This had her wheels turning.
"What do you mean?" What was he showing her?
Adi got a good laugh out of her that time.
"No promises." She was starved, and it had been a really long day. The second year started to load up her plate.
"I'm not. The badge sort of makes it official.'' Adi wasn't boasting or anything, just trying to tease AJ.
"You'd never listen to me anyway,'' he continued.
"It's hard to get through to that thick skull of yours.'' He tapped lightly on her forehead. Before Adi could say more, he yawned a bit. "Sorry,'' he said, moving his left hand from him mouth.[B]
"I'm tired. Or you could just be boring me.''[/B] LOL. AJ should know she never was a bore.
"They do. Opposites attract, I guess.'' Benny always seemed to attract those who were completely the opposite of him. He did have a certain Puffer bestie who was different too. How to answer that question? Adi decided honesty as usual would be best.
"Yep. I've already got a girl in mind and I'm hoping she'll be my girlfriend soon.'' He grinned at AJ, wondering if she would figure it was her.
"She's the most perfect, coolest, beautiful girl I know.'' "Oh, cool. I'm honoured to be the first then.'' Cue another grin.
"You'll see. It's a surprise.'' Oh boy. That was an understatement. It would more likely to be a shock to AJ.
Adi was tempted to flick some food at AJ as he took his first bite but it wouldn't do good for him to start a mini food fight.
"I can live with that.''
.....................................
"Do your friends call you Roms, too?'' Adi asked. Because he was totally up for nicknames. He liked nicknames better for some reason. Last Roman Emperor?
"That's cool. Any reason she picked the last Emperor?''
Adi looked at Romulus in total surprise at the other boy's knowledge.
"Yes. That would be right. You're the first to link my name to it's actual meaning.''
Dudes and their food. Adi could not blame Romulus one bit as even he was piling his plate high.
