Gordon agreed to pay for all of their meals. They all felt bad since it would be so much money, but Gordon insisted.

Goldberg excited shuffled in his seat once the waitress had taken the group's order.

Guy turned to him. "You know it's gonna take them a while to get your food ready, right?"
Goldberg playfully rolled his eyes. "Don't remind me, Guy."

Chloe laughed as Adam put his arm on the back of Chloe's chair and lightly stroked her shoulder. She smiled to herself.

"I bet you l'll be able to finish my pizza before you." Fulton said to Dean.
Dean scoffed and took a gulp of his soda. "No you won't."

"My money's on Fulton." Connie said.
Guy shook his head. "Dean."

Dean grinned. "Thanks, man."
Gordon clapped his hands together. "Alright, hands up for Dean."

Chloe, Luis, Julie, Guy, Ken, Russ, Jake, Addison and Goldberg raised their hands. Dean grinned proudly and raised his hand too.

Adam laughed. "Dean, you can't vote for yourself."
Dean frowned. "Says who?"

"Hands up for Fulton." Gordon said, he too, raised his hand, along with Adam, Charlie, Connie, Dwayne, Averman, Daniel, Audrey, Riley and Jesse.

Fulton hit the table, making some people on different tables look over at them. "I'm ahead by one!"

Gordon hushed Fulton before chuckling. "Calm down, Fulton."

Dean smirked. "Be ready to lose, Fulton."
"You wish, Portman." Fulton jokingly shot back.

"If we can avoid anyone throwing up, that would be nice." Averman smiled, making some of the teenagers laugh.

As everyone began to talk, Chloe pulled out her phone and began looking through her camera roll for a picture of her and Addison she was planning to post.

The screen caught Adam's attention, and he leant over to see what she was doing. His eyes came across a beautiful picture that Chloe had taken of herself.

"Woah, woah." Adam said. "Stop."
Chloe furrowed her brows and turned to Adam. "What is it?"

He pointed at one of the small pictures in her camera roll. "Can I see that?"
Chloe nodded and pressed her thumb on the picture, enlarging it.

Adam's eyes lit up and took her phone out of her hands. "You need to post this." He said. "You look beautiful."

Chloe's cheeks heated up. She laughed. "Thanks, Adam. I don't like it as much, though."

Adam frowned. "Can you at least send it to me?" He asked.
Chloe's brows knitted together in confusion. "Why?"
"So I can post it to show everyone how beautiful you are." Adam smiled.

Chloe felt her cheeks heat up even more. She chuckled. "You're cute."

Adam watched her come out of her photos and go onto Kik.

KIK - ADAM

New picture message!

banksy
thanks ❤️

Chloe laughed, making Adam look up from his phone. "What?"
"Why're you texting me? We're literally sat right next to each-other."

Adam sighed and put his phone face down on the table. "Thanks." He smiled.

Chloe returned the expression. "That's okay."

"I see food!" Daniel announced.
Goldberg excitedly rubbed his hands against each-other.

The waitress, who was now accompanied by another waiter working there, gave everyone their food.

Chloe thanked the waiter before looking down at her burger and fries.
"Pasta." Luis spoke up. "Very basic." He remarked.

Since he was sat one seat away from her, Chloe leaned over Addison and playfully slapped his arm. "Burger and fries. Very basic."

Luis laughed. "Good one."
"Alright, it's on, Portman!" Chloe heard Fulton say.

Everyone turned to the bash brothers. Julie cringed at the way they were eating. She was sat next to Dean, so she tried to shuffle as closer as possible to Ken, who was sat on the other side of her.

Jake laughed. "You alright, Julie?"
She forced a smile and nodded. "Great, thanks."

"Dean! Fulton!" Gordon hissed, once other members of the public were beginning to stare. "You've gotta eat a little more politely."

"And a lot more not disgustingly." Averman said.
Dean scoffed. "Speak up once you've figured out how to come up with a sentence that actually makes sense." He said, with almost a whole slice of pizza in his mouth.

"Never thought he'd care about something like that." Adam mumbled to Chloe, making her laugh.

Chloe looked over at Adam's plate. He'd ordered the same as Luis. Since she had ordered pasta, she didn't have any fries.

Chloe quickly took one of Adam's fries. "Hey!" Adam whined with a mouthful of burger.

Chloe laughed and shoved the fry in her mouth. "You weren't quick enough."

Adam playfully rolled his eyes. "It's okay. You can have as much as you want."

Chloe smiled at him. "Thanks."
"You might wanna watch your weight though." Addison spoke up with a grin.

Chloe gasped and started to hit Addison's arms.
Addison began to flinch. "Okay! Okay! I was joking! I was joking! Ow!" She almost yelled between laughs.

Chloe stopped hitting her best friend and nodded at her with approval. "That's what I thought."

"Y'all, why have I got so many forks? I only need one." Dwayne spoke up, picking up his three forks and staring at them in confusion.

*slight d3 reference 😂*

Connie laughed. "I honestly don't know why they give you so many knives and forks."

"And spoons." Russ added, staring at the three different sized spoons in front of him.

Gordon playfully rolled his eyes. "Just shut up and eat your meals like normal people, already."

***

The group were at the restaurant for about two and a half hours before they all left and went home.

In the end, Dean finished his pizza before Fulton.
Fulton was so angry that he challenged Dean for another wrestling match back at the hotel, which Ken wasn't looking forward to.

Ken recorded the whole fight and sent it to the group chat. Everyone found it hilarious.

a/n: sorry that was such a shitty ending - I didn't really know how to finish it. 😂

anyways, I hope you're all enjoying this book!
