Yay, i finally updated it! sorry it took so long. As always, I hope you enjoy this chapter, please tell me what you think in the comments.
"Hey Alex." Said Kaiden, taking a seat beside his girlfriend in the food court. "Hi Kaiden." Replied Alex, as she ordered a stack of pancakes. Her meal arrived with a pop, maple syrup and all.
"Ooh, pancakes." Commented Kaiden, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Can I have some?" He whispered in her ear and Declan rolled his eyes, certain he didn't want to know what Kaiden was whispering about. "Get your own." She returned giving him a gentle slap on the arm. Kaiden simply gave puppy eyes in return. Now it was Alex who rolled her eyes and ordered another stack of pancakes for Kaiden.
Alex had never ordered two of the same plate in a row, but she hadn't expected this.
This meant two plates on top of one another, as in literally one plate on top of the other. Alex gaped in shock while everyone else at the table chuckled. "Yeah, we should probably have warned her about that." Muttered bear to no one in particular. "Don't worry Alex, we've all made that mistake before." Stated Mel from across the table, a friendly smile on her face. Alex's face had changed from an expression of confusion to looking askance at the stacked dishes of food.
Kaiden was the first to stop laughing. "Thanks Alex." He commented, taking the top plate and placing it in front of him. Alex stopped frowning, knowing there was no point crying over spilt milk.
"Well then." Announced D.C. shifting the tables attention. "How's everyone's morning so far?" That was all it took for everyone at the table started up a conversation, instantly forgetting the incident.
"So, Jordan, how are you?" Began Declan, taking a seat beside Bear. Jordan mumbled a response to low for anyone to hear. "Mate, I get that your annoyed with Alex, but you can't detach yourself from the world over this." Said Bear, ordering his own breakfast.
"And what did Alex do?" Asked Kaiden, taking Alex's hand in his own and proceeding to eat pancakes one handed. Challenge accepted. Alex rolled her eyes, copying his one-handed pancake eating, though with slightly less grace.
"I didn't think it would be taken as an insult, if I did, I wouldn't have done it." Reasoned Alex defensively. D.C. raised her eye bow as Alex proceeded to stab a pancake and eat it one handed. Alex Shot back a look that said, you try eating breakfast like this. And so, she did, the princess of Medora took Jordan's hand, ordered breakfast and began eating her cereal one handed.
"What did you do Alex?" Continued Kaiden.
Bear answered before Alex could. "She lied to Jordan about a doughnut eating contest, he found out and now he won't talk to her."
Declan's eyebrows shot up. "Why would you do that Alex? That could be considered a form of cruelty."
"I didn't think he'd take me seriously!" She wined.
"Grow up, you're not three." Said Declan.
"Says the person who's been looking for general Astophe for, what is it? Thirteen years?" Returned Alex.
"Sixteen years." Corrected Declan, waving his spoon at her.
"Yeah, whatever." Alex said, taking another bite of her pancakes. "The point is It was a joke, and I didn't mean to upset Jordan," she looked Jordan in the eyes- "and he should definitely forgive me." She finished, sliding a bagel over to Jordan. Rolling his eyes, Jordan accepted the bagel and said, "Apology accepted."
"I knew you were joking." Said Alex, her tone smug as her smile.
"When am I ever not joking?" Replied Jordan with a mouth full of bagel.
"How about the time-" Began Bear excitedly.
"We have PE next." Exclaimed Jordan loudly, cutting Bear of before he said something surely Embarrassing about his friend. Irritated mumble came from around the table.
Before the conversation could continue Darrius stood up to address to school. The volume in the cafeteria died down to whispers as they noticed his presence and the stern look that accompanied it.
"It has always been school policy for students to remain out side of teacher areas. These areas include the staff room, my office, and any classroom without teacher supervision. Unfortunately, it appears that a group of students have forgotten this." The head master tapped a button and an image of an office showed on the screen beside him. However, it wasn't regular office, considering that everything in it was glued to the ceiling. Hushed giggles came from at least half the students, the other half were clearly restraining laughter. Except for Alex and Declan, the pair were both smirking guiltily.
"Alex?" Muttered D.C. in question from across the table. Alex's smirk grew as Darrius changed the slide to reveal an image of the staffroom. This scene was like the last, only with more objects; beanbags, cutlery, chairs, coffee mugs, plates, even a bottle of dripping maple syrup. This time no one hid their laughter. This picture was defiantly funnier, some of the mugs had teabags falling out, a plate had a stack of pancakes stuck to it (half of them had fallen to the ground), the same thing had been attempted with a sponge cake. Attempted, because half of the cake had splatted on the ground.
"This is an awful start two the month. Whoever is found responsible," Darrius eyed every table in the cafeteria. "Will receiver four weekend detentions."
As he stood up and left Alex and Declan stared at each other wide eyed. It quickly became apparent to everyone at the table that Alex and Declan were responsible. Fortunately, there seemed to be an unspoken agreement not to reveal the pranksters identity to anyone.
Thankfully, no one seemed to suspect Alex. This was partly due to the distraction provided by the image that had remained on the board. It seemed that the image of the upside-down staff room was too much to resist taking a picture of.
Alex slid another bagle over to jordan before she departed. She practically ran out of the building before anyone could ask her about the incident; Declan followed swiftly.
