Well, they're your friends now
‘Hey guys, Maggie’s joining us for lunch.’ Alex told the group who had already grabbed a table at the college café.
‘I-if that’s okay? I told Alex I didn’t want to intrude on your guys’ lunch.’ Maggie shoved her hands into her pockets with a shrug.
The group shook their heads. ‘You’re not intruding! Sit down! Of course we want you to have lunch with us.’
Maggie ducked her head with a smile, taking a seat between Alex and Winn.
They all started eating their lunches, whilst listening to Winn talk about what he did in class today, how he fixed something his lecturer couldn’t, in a non-braggy way.
‘So, you’re smart Winn?’ Maggie smiled.
‘Well I…’ Winn shrugged bashfully.
James rolled his eyes playfully. ‘Yes. He is.’
‘So, how was your night our Alex, Maggie?’ Winn smirked.
Alex blushed lightly, glancing at Maggie who grinned at her. Kara giggled, immediately stopping after getting a glare from her sister, glancing back down at her lunch.
‘Wouldn’t you like to know Schott.’ The brunette girl smirked back.
Winn put his hands up. ‘Alright, I get it. You don’t want to gush about how amazing it was, and how much fun you had…’
Alex kicked him under the table, chuckling as he yelped.
‘Hey! We’re just glad you went out for once Alex.’ Winn grinned.
‘Yeah. Thanks.’ She replied dryly, but she gave him a smile to let him know she wasn’t actually mad.
The rest of their lunch carried on with random conversation and light teasing of one another, much to Winn’s dismay as it was usually directed at him.
Alex walked Maggie to her class once they’d all said goodbye, nudging her with her shoulder. ‘So, you survived lunch.’
‘I did.’ Maggie laughed. ‘They’re great, Alex. You have really great friends.’
‘Well, they’re your friends now.’ Alex rolled her eyes as Maggie went to protest. ‘And I’m not just saying that, I actually mean it. They’d already adopted you after you first met to be honest Mags.’
The brunette grinned at both the nickname and at what Alex had told her. ‘I’m cool with that.’
‘Good.’ The taller girl leant against the wall outside of Maggie’s class.
‘Want to do something again this week?’
‘Yes.’ Alex answered immediately, before pursing her lips. ‘I mean, sure whatever, I’m cool.’
Maggie laughed at her dorkiness. ‘Laters Danvers.’
