Chapter 53: Unexpected Connections

He grinned and relaxed. "Thanks, Amber," he said, smiling gratefully as he walked off to get a chair from a couple of tables away.

I turned to Kate, frowning. "That freaking hurt, Kate! Seriously, he’s not that hot!" I whisper yelled at her.

"Yeah he is." She nodded enthusiastically, laughing and I ended up laughing along with her. Damn slutty girl.

Johnny sat down on the end of the table. "So, this is weird, huh?" he stated, grinning sheepishly.

I laughed uncomfortably. "Wow, that’s an understatement and a half. You think it’s weird, try unnerving and awkward," I joked, making him laugh.

"I’m not that bad," he whined, faking hurt.

I decided to just get it out there and ask what had been bothering me all morning. "How do you know who I am?" I asked quietly.

He smiled. "Stephen showed me a photo of you. I haven’t seen one of your brother though, so I have no idea who he is," he explained, shrugging.

My dad had a photo of me? I wasn’t really sure how to feel about that. Why the hell would he have a photo of me, and not Jake? I didn’t even want to think about that question too much in case I came up with an answer I didn’t like.

I pointed at Jake. "He’s right there. Jake, Johnny. Johnny, Jake," I said, waving a hand between them in introduction.

"Hey, how’s it going?" Jake growled, his face was hard and not at all friendly. Johnny squirmed in his seat a little - Jake could be quite intimidating if he wanted to be.

"Yeah, good thanks. It’s good to meet you," he replied nervously.

Kate kicked me again under the table in the exact same spot as before, making me wince. I glared at her warningly; she obviously wanted an introduction too. "Johnny, these are my friends, Sean, Sarah and Kate. This is my boyfriend, Liam," I stated, introducing everyone that was at our end of the table.

Johnny smiled warmly. "Hey, sorry, I’m bad with names. I’ll probably forget in like half an hour," he admitted, wincing slightly.

Kate turned on her flirt mode, tossing her hair over her shoulder, smiling seductively. "I’m terrible with names too. We have something in common," she purred, looking him over slowly. He laughed, looking uncomfortable. It didn’t look like he was used to female attention at all.

"So, what school did you go to before here?" I asked, trying to help him out slightly.

He smiled at me gratefully. "I actually went to an all-boys school in Mersey," he answered, shrugging. OK, that explains the blushing and being uncomfortable. I could almost see Kate’s brain ticking over thinking about teaching him new tricks and breaking him in. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the poor boy.

"An all-boys school? Well that’s no fun," Kate smiled, eating a potato chip, obviously trying to look sexy.

Liam burst out laughing next to me. "Kate, leave the poor guy alone, it’s his first day," he teased.

Jake looked at Kate with a slightly annoyed expression on his face. It suddenly dawned on me what was happening. Jake was totally crushing on Kate! "I saw that, Jake," I stated, grinning at him knowingly. He flinched and tried to look innocent. Yep, totally jealous! "So, what classes do you have this afternoon?" I asked, turning back to Johnny, trying to keep the conversation going. I felt a little sorry for him; he was obviously like a fish out of water here. He pulled out his schedule and handed it to me. I glanced over it and almost choked on my sandwich - he had every single afternoon class with me. "I have the same ones," I said quietly, handing it back. Liam rubbed his hand on my leg gently and I leant against him for support. Johnny seemed like a nice guy but I didn’t want him near me all the time. The occasional conversation I could probably deal with, but what if he went home and my father asked about me? He would know way too much stuff about me for my liking.

"Yeah? Awesome! You think you could show me the way and stuff?" he asked hopefully. I nodded slowly, I couldn’t exactly say no.

Jessica came strutting over; she now had only two buttons done up on her shirt. "Hey, Johnny. Want to come and sit with me?" she asked, twirling her hair around her finger.

"Jessica, you missed a few buttons there, sweetie," I said innocently.

She glared at me. "It’s supposed to look like this, Emo freak," she spat nastily.

"Actually, yeah I think you’re right. I saw that shirt worn exactly like that on the hooker on the corner last night," I replied, smiling kindly.

"You hang out on street corners?" she asked, grinning, obviously thinking she had won.

"When I’m meeting with your mom I do." I shrugged.

Liam and Johnny burst out laughing. "Bitch," she mumbled as she stormed off. Kate and Sarah slapped a high five, giggling like mad girls on crack.

"You’re funny," Johnny said, grinning at me.

"Yeah, I think maybe I just ruined your chances of nailing her today. She’ll give you another chance tomorrow though so don’t worry," I teased as I started eating again.

He turned his nose up. "She’s been driving me crazy all morning; she’s bitching about some girl who stole her boyfriend. What kind of guy would go out with someone like her anyway? He must be a right ass," he scoffed, shrugging.

The whole table, apart from Liam, burst out laughing. "Er, that ass would be me. But we weren’t going out," Liam stated, shaking his head.

Johnny blushed like crazy. "Oh sorry," he mumbled, wincing slightly.

I wrapped my arm around Liam. "Don’t worry, lover boy, your taste has improved since then," I cooed, pulling him closer to me.

"Angel, my taste has always been the same. Forbidden fruit." He leant in quickly, biting my neck, making me giggle. Jake cleared his throat and Liam pulled away with a sigh and rolled his eyes.
