If Mary had thought this day could have not gotten any stranger, she was very wrong. Not only did Callum just ignore her when she spoke to him but he just walked off. He didn’t even have the decency to start making her her order, not like he could make it like the god Liam could anyways. But now Liam was hitting on her. At least, she thought he was.
”If you want your usual you’ll have to wait, or you could blow off school and we could run off to the beach. Feel the sand between our toes, the sun in our hair. You’ll learn more in a day with me than at school.” His fingertips ran on along her jawline and stopping at her lips. Heat radiated out from where he touched her.
Mary could only imagine what and afternoon with him would teach her. Butterflies fluttered around in her stomach. Had she ever felt butterflies with Callum? She didn’t think so. She bit her lip then smirked devishly at him after he whispered in her ear. She was trying to change her imagine. Maybe she needed to change the arm candy too. Callum didn’t seem to appreciate her anymore.
"You’ll just have to wait and see if I show up.” Mary told him before he left. She stood there, plotting away. Sure, there was a beach about an hour away. Beach shops always had bathing suits so she didn’t have to worry about that. But what about Yvette? Sure, she didn’t mind Liam corrupting her but sweet Yvette? But then again she couldn’t remember her friend ever mentioning going to a beach. Callum always kept his step sister so shelter. It was definitely strange.
The blonde sat next to her friend, scooting close so her boyfriend would not be able to guess what she was signing to Yvette. This would be the perfect time to write it all down and have her read it or whisper about their plans but Yvette didn’t have that luxury. This is where her obsession with learning things came in handy. She quickly explained to Yvette Liam’s proposition. ”Can you imagine the beach? It would be such and adventure.” She signed in Yvette’s hand.
"I’m going but if you don’t want to I won’t force you to. Do you want to go?" She finished and waited for her friend to answer. She really hoped her best friend would decide to go with her but at this point she really didn’t know. Other than going to the library, a store, or a restaurant, she and Yvette never really did anything adventurous together. If Callum found out she brought Yvette to do something wild, he’d probably skin Mary’s hide. But who cared?
Maybe he wasn’t man enough to be with her anymore. Maybe it was time to stretch her wings and move on to someone else.
She ducked her head when she noticed her favorite teacher walk into the shop. At least he wasn't focused on her. She put her back to him, watching Yvette. This was their chance to be alive for once. This town suffocated Mary so. She needed to be free, to feel alive. She looked out the window at the apartment across the street. He would wait for her right?
