Chapter 11 We're Going Shopping!

Chapter 11 We're Going Shopping!

"Yeah!" Kevin shouted clapping his hands together loudly as Iyari skipped around the cafeteria.

"Yippy!" the little girl shrieked over and over again. Parker giggled and Bomani punched his fist up in the air. I smiled and Scotty walked into the caf. I got up from my seat and walked over to him.

"Hey." I said and he raised an eyebrow at me, shrugging me away. I stopped in my tracks, as he walked over to the seat Kevin had just gotten out of and spooned mac and cheese onto an empty tray. Mallory who was about to leave the caf when the lights turned on had seen Scotty's reaction to me and gave me a puzzled look, that to me said Aaron, wada fuck? I walked over to her. She placed her hand on my shoulder as Scotty started to shovel food in his mouth. Warren and Laceya walked into the caf next followed by Alessandro.

"We have enough gas to run it for about another six hours." Warren said.

"How do you know?" Kevin asked.

"The bar I worked at had a generator we ran it a couple a times last year during that snow storm. This is a bigger model so I'm guessing we got more time." Lacheya said walking over to Kevin and flicking him on the forehead and then hopping onto the table that we had all been eating on minutes ago and closer to Scotty then I liked.

"Para Iyari eso o te voy a sonar haste que tu culo se pone rojo!" Isabella shouted grabbing her daughter who was skipping past her at the time and grabbing her arm roughly. I had no idea what she said but Iyari seemed to because she suddenly looked like she was on the verge of tears.

Lacheya placed her hand on Scotty's shoulder and for a second I thought I would pounce on her. In my head I was leaving her stranded in the middle of no where instead of Isabella. Howeve I quickly regained my self respect and left the cafeteria. Mallory followed me out and i wanted to scream.

"What was that?" Mallory asked obviously as shocked at Scotty's behavior as I was.

"I don't know and do you wanna know why I don't know its because I'm a complete idiot. For real I fooled myself into thinking that Scott was starting to have feelings for me and you wanna know why?" I asked.

"Sweetie not really your starting to get a little loud." Mallory said and turned around to look in the cafeteira to see if anyone was looking at us.

"You know what you're right." I announced throwing my hands up in the air, "I am just gonna forget it I mean it was a great night peaceful and one I will rememeber till I die which could be sooner than I planned but that's besides the point. The point is that I am going to march back into that caf and be unphased." I took a deep breath and walked back into the cafeteria. I had that creeping feeling in my gut that everyone had just been talking about me so I sat down at a table near a corner and Mallory sat next to me. I smiled at Parker and she flashed me a pearly white grin.

"So," Warren started, " I was thinking that we should probably head out and get some supplies I mean other people are going to start to soon and the sooner we go the better chance we have at finding things that will be some what helpful." he looked at all of us and then went on, "So here's the plan I was thinking that it would be me, Alessandro, Scotty, Lacheya, and Isabella. The rest of you guys stay here."

"No way, my wife stays here!" Alessandro shouted.

"Um I'm sorry what about me?" I asked standing from my seat.

"I'm not leaving my daughter alone with a bunch of people I just meeting yesterday." Isabella screamed out.

"I mean I think I can hold my own way better than Lacheya can." I said.

"No you would never leave her alone, like last night in the nurses station with Kevin, Parker, and Aaron." Mallory spat.

"Shut the hell up you don't have clues what your talking about!" Isabella yelled. Mallory stood up.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Lacheya questioned looking at me.

"It means I only had to save your ass yesterday." I said fiercely.

"You did not just go there!" Lacheya yelled starting to walk toward me.

"I know you're probably thinking I didn't go there but I so totally just did. Bitch." I said not backing down as she got in my face.

"My wife is not going!" Alessandro shouted.

"Well I am!" Mallory shouted back trying to out shout everyone.

"Okay! Okay!" Warren screamed and then whistled sharply getting everyone's attention, "I see we aren't happy with the plan. Thats fine. Isabella your stayng Aaron you're coming does that settle it."

"No." Mallory snapped folding her arms.

"Fine Mallory you can come too, Christ." Warren said caving.

Nobody said anything for a while until Parker opened her mouth, "I kinda wanna go shopping."
