What a situation

LANCE

My neck tingled. I think she just said something important and out of place. But she smiled sweetly. And blushed when Magnus stared right at her. 

For twenty minutes we dived in. Stomach full of goodies I never got to enjoy for days. I miss the rich flavor of pizza kissing my lips, tangling my tongue. As if hugging my mouth, telling me 'I miss this big eater'.

I murmured I miss you too. That garnered strange stare from Seven. For a while now, she'd been keeping an eye on glasses lady. The mistrustful observant gaze I sometimes see when my middle school teachers caught me cheating in exams last semester and is bent to catch me now.

I lowered my head, my lips just three inches from her ear. "What's up?" She drummed her fingers in the table. Her chocolate treats is now a pile of wrappers in tray. She sip through the vanilla shake given to three of us, Sam, Seven and I. 

She cast one last lingering stare and looked at her hands.
