Older Brothers

Chapter Thirty

KHLOE

I walked to lunch with a weird feeling in my stomach. When I entered the cafeteria with Taylor, I noticed a lot of eyes on me suddenly.

I realised that everyone from Charlie's table were looking at me.  All of his friends noted my arrival and instantly started talking - probably about me. Charlie, however, wasn't sat with them.

My brothers table were also looking at me. Dean was eyeing me with an expectant look. I could tell that he was expecting me to join them. I sighed and turned to Taylor.

"I'm gonna eat my lunch with my brothers today. I'll catch you at the end of lunch?"

"Sure. I'll see you in a bit." She said and headed over to our table where Alex and Max had already sat down.

I took a deep breath and walked over to my brothers table. All of them were there - except for Charlie. I had no idea where he was. Austin and Blake were also sat at the table - unfortunately.

I walked over and Chase and Dean moved up so I could sit between them. I gave them an awkward smile and sat down.

"You alright?" Dean asked me.

I nodded.

"What's with the cut on your cheek?" Austin asked me.

I gulped and looked at my brothers.  None of them had a clue what to say.

"It's a spot. She's got a terrible habit of picking at them. It's gross really." Tommy piped up.

I looked over at Tommy, absolutely mortified. Deans eyes widened in amusement and I could tell that he was practically trying not to burst out laughing. Jake and Chase looked at each other like they weren't sure whether to be amused or to whack Tommy on the back of his head.

"Tommy, I do not!" I exclaimed.

"Don't deny it." Tommy said to me.

Dean sniggered.

I huffed and glanced at Austin who sheepishly looked down like he had only just realised that he shouldn't have asked the question.   I think he was hoping for the exciting answer that I got in a fight and wanted to know what happened.

"You got lunch?" Chase asked me.

I nodded and grabbed the packed lunch from my bag.

"When did you make that?" Tommy asked me, looking at the sand-which with envy.

"I didn't. Elliott did."

Tommy huffed. "He could have made me something."

Chase whacked Tommy on the back of the head and Tommy gave him a death glare. I just smirked in amusement.

"You guys coming to the bonfire on Friday?" Jake asked Blake and Austin.

The pair of them nodded.

"Wouldn't miss it." Blake said.

"I'm dreading the exams though." Austin added.
