"its game day bitches" i hear reece day for the- i want to say millionth time.

when he picked me up this morning, then when we got out he car, then every time i've seen in the halls. there have been other times he's just creeped up on me during a free lesson and scared me saying, "it's game day bitches".

"hey" Hannah pokes me.

"yeah?" i turn my head to face her.

"do you think it's game day?" she asks a grin growing on her face.

"you know what, i think it might be" i reply and then turn back around to see reece and marcus balancing a soccer ball between their heads.

they really share one brain cell.

"maybe Aiden might win this as these two barely even have a brain that functions" Hannah comments and marcus and reece death stares us.

"how dare you say such a thing?" Marcus points a finger at us both and the ball drops to the floor.

"you crossed a line there" Reece adds.

"what are you two even doing in the library? you're distracting me and Lexi right now" hannah asks them whilst they're swinging in their chairs.

reece and marcus are children. no matter how old they get they will always have the mind of a seven year old.

"we are helping you study" reece snatches my laptop and turns it to face him, "yeah what the fuck is this? did we learn this?" he turns it to Marcus.

"yeah know that's some weird shit i've never seen" marcus pushes back the laptop.

"oh my gosh, Lexi it's for real they will not be graduating".

"nah-uh".

"we may be dumb but at least we're hot" marcus seemed way too proud saying that.

"i cant agree more" reece pats his shoulder.

"so what are you saying, we're ugly?" i ask.

"can i just say that i am loving your hair today, did you do something different?" marcus asks Hannah leaning over the table and tucking her hair behind her ear.

"no".

"you know princess-"

"-save it, don't even think about it" i put my hand over his mouth and he tries this weird eye thing instead of talking, "how about you go to practise and make yourself useful" i drop my hand.

"okay bye" he kisses my cheek, "come on lover boy" marcus gets up from the chair and slaps reece's ass as he walks passed.

"welcome to being the back up option" hannah swings an arm around my shoulder.

"oh believe me i am fully aware, yesterday we were watching a movie and when you sent marcus downstairs after getting pissed off at him, he just climbed on top of reece and they were cuddling for the rest of the movie and i watch just sat there all alone".
