Knives & Pens

The pizza restaurant wasn’t as packed as they thought it would be, Pandora was the only one who wasn’t wearing a hood and sunglasses. They entered the restaurant, side by side. Jinxx got in front of everyone and looked at them.
“Okay, what kind of pizza are we getting?”
“Pepperoni.”
“Cheese.”
“Three meat.”
“Supreme.”
“Bacon cheese burger.” Pandora said, Jinxx sighed and looked at all of them.
“Can we please decide on one pizza?” He asked, everyone looked at each other and replied No.
“Okay, how about this. We’ll just order Pepperoni, Cheese, Three meat, Supreme and Bacon Cheese Burger and whatever we have left over we’ll just slit between all of us.” Andy said, Jinxx nodded, agreeing with his idea.
They approached the counter and Jinxx started to tell the girl what they wanted, Pandora was standing next to Andy when she happened to glance behind her and saw Brittney Greene, Liam Johnson, Jackson McCormick, and Sierra Chambers. Pandora swallowed hard and turned back towards the guys, Andy noticed her acting strange and leaned towards her.
“You okay?” He asked, she nodded.
“Yeah. I’m fine,” She looked up to see Jinxx about to pay. “Jinxx, I’ll pay for half.”
Jinxx looked at her and shook his head side to side lightly. “No, I got it. Your not going to pay half.”
Pandora grinned a little bit. “But--”
Jinxx held up a finger and grinned. “Nope.”
Pandora smiled and Andy handed her the cup, after getting their drinks they took a seat at a table in the back of the restaurant. Pandora was trying to hide so Sierra or Liam didn’t see her, she didn’t want them to mess with her. Andy looked at Pandora who sat between him and Ashley, noticing she was trying to hide her face.
“Why are you trying to hide?” Andy asked, chuckling softly. Pandora almost turned red, she smiled and looked up at him.
“Uh, my sister is here with her friends.” Pandora replied, Andy smiled at her, trying to show her they weren’t going to do anything while he’s here.
“You’ll be safe with us, trust me.” Andy told her.
“Yeah, we won’t let them hurt you.” Ashley said, suddenly their number was called and Jinxx, Andy and CC went to go get the pizzas. Ashley poked Pandora for fun in the ribs, made her jump and almost fall out of her chair. He laughed, realizing she was ticklish.
“Someone ticklish?” Ashley asked, Pandora turned red.
“No, you just scared me.”
Andy returned holding the pizza box of Bacon Cheese Burger, he set it in the center of the table and opened it, revealing a delicious pizza that made Pandora stare at it hungrily.
“Dig in.” Andy said, taking his seat. Pandora knew of course what she wanted, she grabbed a slice of Bacon Cheese Burger pizza and put it on her plate. She couldn’t believe it only took five guys to make her feel comfortable, they had her laughing and smiling the entire time they ate.
But, when she saw Liam and her sister approaching the table, the smile disappeared.
“Hey Dora,” Liam said, his eyes locked on her. The guys looked at him, with a little bit of confusion on their faces.
“Go away Liam.” Pandora ordered, Liam grinned.
“How’s your face?”
Andy looked at Pandora, then Liam, now understanding Liam done this to Pandora. Andy laid the pizza on his plate and straighten up.
“Still looks better than yours.” Pandora said, the grin on Liam’s face disappeared quickly.
“At least I don’t take a razor to my skin!!” Jackson hissed, Andy stood up.
“I think you four should leave her alone.” Andy said, Liam looked at Andy.
“Oh, what are you? Her bodyguard?” Liam asked, Andy looked at him.
“Yeah and I’m ready to kick someone’s ass if I have to. Now go.” Andy said, Liam chuckled.
“Sure you will, are you another freak like her? Is that why you two are so close? Hmm, fag?” Liam said, that was something Andy didn’t like at all. His hand entered into a fist and he forced as much strength into his right hand and punched Liam in the face has hard as he could, Liam fell to the ground and Pandora stared in shock, everyone here looked to. Sierra helped Liam up, and they didn’t say anything to Andy nor Pandora. They left quickly afterwards, knowing it would be for the best if they left. Andy turned towards the table, to see everyone smiling.
“How did that feel?” Jake asked, Andy took his seat.
“Felt pretty good.” Andy replied, he picked up his pizza and took a bite. Pandora was staring at him, with a smile on her face, Andy looked at her and grinned a little bit.
“Thank you for defending me.” Pandora said, Andy shrugged.
“That’s what friends are for.” Andy said with a smile, Pandora smiled bigger.
“Best friends.” Pandora told him, Andy smiled and nodded.
"Best friends it is."
