I hope you all enjoy this chapter as much as I did when I was writing it.
15+ comments would be wonderful!

"Maybe you're just meant to be with a weirdo, then." Lucas jokes, suppressing a small chuckle. "Chase is not a bad guy, you know. I think you should give him a chance," He adds, trying his best to convince her.
"Easy for you to say," Karin grunts unhappily, turning her gaze away from him.
"How about we go on a double date?!" I smile excitedly, gripping onto Karin's arm. "Lucas and I'll be a pair while you and Chase—"
"Not interested," She says bluntly, letting out another exasperated sigh. "Look, I'm not saying Chase is a bad guy, it's just that he's not really my type. Plus, he hasn't even made an effort to get to know me. He just stalks me from afar."
"Well, stalking IS technically one way to get to know somebody." I tease, the corners of my lips itching to curve up into a smug smirk. Shit. I quickly back away and barely dodge one of Karin's hits. I guess she didn't find my joke particularly amusing. "Bad joke?" I question with a nervous giggle.
"I thought so." She glares at me, pursing her lips together. "Plus, I'm totally content with being single right now, so it's whatever." She concludes confidently, raising her chin up.
"Is that even possible?" Lucas inquires, arching a brow at Karin.
"Yes, very so possible." She grits through her teeth, slamming one of her fists down onto the table.
I can't help but to laugh out loud and think: I've made some pretty amazing friends so far in my life. As long as I have them, I feel like nothing can bring me down. The past is something I prefer not to dwell on anyways, so I want to just focus on the present. Keep a tight hold on those precious to me. This feeling of contentment . . . I hope it doesn't leave me anytime soon.
("I heard Lucy used to date her other friend, the one who moved unexpectedly a couple years ago."
"Oh, I think I know who you're talking about. Connor, right? I think I remember those three being pretty tight-knit during middle-school. They were practically inseparable."
"I'll say, but I guess she's pretty much moved onto Lucas, now.")
Whispers. I can hear them talking about me, and something just snaps inside me. It's beyond repair now because I can already feel the anger raging inside me. Seriously, I hate it when others talk behind people's backs. It's SO uncool. Those bitches . . .
I glance over at Lucas and Karin; did they also hear the girls gossiping in the back? Or was it just me? It'd be better if it was just me because I know how sensitive Lucas also gets—
Lucas fidgets slightly, and I can immediately tell that he's heard. Crap. I can't take this anymore.
"If you guys have something to say to me, say it to my face." I state firmly, shooting an intimidating glance at the girls behind me. "If not, keep my name out of your mouth. It pisses me off."
The girls don't respond. From my guess, they're probably just sitting there dumbfounded, blinking their round little eyes at me. Frankly, I don't really care. But it's strange because I feel this odd sensation building in the back of my throat. I feel like crying. I'm such an idiot getting so worked up over nothing . . . but I can't help myself.
"Maybe you shouldn't bother eavesdropping then." One of the girls responds with a snicker, her voice patronizing.
"Ladies, let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill." Lucas says awkwardly, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere.
"She's the one who started it." The other girl mutters under her breath, her arms folded across her chest.
I don't blame him, considering he never really liked arguments. Even back then when Connor and I would fight, he would always act as the mediator. Make a mountain out of a mole hill . . . seriously, what's with that idiom? Idiot; but I can't help but chuckle and feel more at ease. Really, I'm no good without him.
I glance back at the girls behind me, resting my chin leisurely against my palm. With a taunting smirk painted across my face I ask the girls, "So would you girls like an apology?" When they don't respond and continue to merely look at me with a mortified expression, I fake a bright smile. "Yeah, I didn't think so."

OMG, that chapter is hilarious on the one side and so freaking true on the other.
