Chapter 6

JOE BANDIT P.O.V

When it was finally time for lunch, John, Gio and I left the school and headed to taco bell. We did all the time and since we were now seniors, it was fine for us to leave campus. When we arrived at Taco Bell, we all ordered our food. When it was finally ready, we grabbed our food and picked a table to sit. We all eagerly began eating the tacos, hungry for that delicious wrapped meat.

After taking a bite of my taco, I saw Gio and John looking at each other. John whispered something to Gio, making him frown and shake his head. They then both looked at me in observance. As if they were searching for the answer to a question they wanted to ask. I ignored them and kept eating my food. When I could still feel their eagle eyes watching me, I sighed and gave up, allowing them to ask me what I know they eagerly want to know.

“What?” I said in a deadpan voice, knowing full well, this was about Chasity.

“Do not act like you do not know why we are staring at you,” John said with a grin.

Gio took a sip of his drink and grinned as well, anticipating me answering the question they both were about to ask. I wiped my mouth with a napkin and sat back in my seat, at the same time my two nosey friends leaned forward.

“Why were you talking to Dawson?” John asked, while he wiggled his eyebrows.

Gio snickered “Is there love blossoming in the air my friend?”

John laughed and added “Is it ‘cuffing season’ already?”

“What is cuffing season?” asked Gio, getting slightly distracted.

It was moments like this, that reminded me that Gio is a not from America. It was always funny whenever he got confused by a slang or phrase we would say.

“It is like a phrase that means people start becoming couples,” explained John.

“Ahh,” said Gio, making an understanding motion with a nod of his head.

I quickly replied with a lie “I wanted to ask her if what type of Oreo’s does, she like?”

“Are you serious?” asked Gio, not believing my reply to John’s question.

I nodded my head, trying to quickly back up my lie “Very. There are many types of Oreo’s and even though the original is my favorite, it is not the only one that is the best.”

John and Gio looked at me with an expression that showed they clearly didn’t believe me. I went back to eating my taco before my food got cold.

“I do not believe that you are being serious,” Gio said before he took a sip of his drink.

I shook my head, then replied “I am very serious,” as my right pinky tapped on the table.

John leaned back against his chair and crossed his arms. He then looked at me with amusement, as he scanned me with his eyes up and down, as if the truth is written on my face “Did you know that you are a bad liar?”

I inwardly scoffed; I am not a bad liar.

“I am not a liar, nor am I a bad one,” I replied. Then stood up to go throw my trash away.

John raised his eyebrows then scanned me with his eyes as I came back to the table “The truth always eventually comes out Bandit.”

I then grabbed my phone and looked at the time. Seeing that it was time for us to go. I stood up and grabbed my bag.

“It’s time to go back,” I said, changing the subject.

Gio laughed and teased in a singing tone “You are changing the subject my friend.”

I rolled my eyes and walked out the door ignoring their protests of leaving.

“How do you know he is lying?” Gio mumbled to John.

If he was trying to be discreet, my foreign friend was doing a horrible job.

“When he is lying, all his fingers stay still except his right pinky. It will always tap against something,” John said with a grin.

I inwardly scoffed, I guess I am a bad liar.
