Lunch - Day 1

After class I planned to speak with the two guys I had already met, but they weren't here anymore, so I just walked out, it was lunch time anyway, maybe I should actually try and talk to people.

I sort of walk around the cafeteria aimlessly until I bump into someone and fall onto the ground. I look up to see a guy with a New York Yankees cap on and a white, long-sleeved shirt.

"Ah, sorry about that!"

"Watch out next time."

He says almost condescendingly,

"I wouldn't have to, if you didn't just stand there!"

"I was getting food, genius."

We spout a few pretty badly came up with insults at each other for a while, before I decide to pick any random thing about him and insult it.

"At least I'm not wearing ugly shoes like yours"

I try to come up with anything I hadn't already said, not checking if what I said was true.

"You are though, what the fuck!"

I look down, at the shoes on my feet. They look just like his, that I just insulted, but they're slightly cleaner.

"...damnit."

He starts laughing and I cant help but laugh too, at the fact that the one random thing that I decided to try and insult him on was something I forgot I had.

"I'm glad some people can take a good joke, unlike someone I know, Minx!"

He said, and I was confused until I heard a voice from almost the other side of the lunchroom.

"Fuck off, Schlatt!"

I laughed to myself,

"You two seem like good friends."

"Hah, no, i hate her."

I could sense that that comment may not have been genuine, whether its because he kind of got her attention, or because I followed him and he sat at the same table as, the seat across from actually, a girl with purple hair, Minx, apparently. [a/n: I know it's not purple anymore, but I liked her purple hair, so that's what she has in this]

"Hey, you're Minx, right?"

She looks up at me with a dead stare,

"The fuck do you think?"
(The fook do yeh think? lol)

I laugh nervously, I guess I didn't notice it when she yelled earlier, but she's Irish, I guess. I dont know why, but the fact that I didn't figure that out when she yelled makes me laugh a little.

Another guy walks up and sits down with no food in front of him, just like me.

"Heyy, Austin"

"What's up, Schlatt."

I zone out while they talk, looking down at my black backpack that doesn't hold anything but a laptop, a sketchbook, and a water bottle, and yes, its plastic, it's more convenient, fuck the environment, I'm lazy.

I kick at it and a paper falls out of the net-looking open pocket, that's supposed to hold a water bottle, but it doesn't. I decided that I can just leave it as it is, it's just trash. Someone will pick it up and thrown it away, I'm sure.

"Hey, loser, still there?"

"Hm? Oh yeah, sorry."

They just went back to the conversation, falsely assuming I was paying attention now.

"I know you weren't listening, so I'll tell you because Schlatt won't, I'm sure."

I nod.

"Haha, probably not."

I say awkwardly.

"That one's having another party, you can come if you want."

I thought about it for a moment,

"Yeah, Minx, that sounds great!"

I smile at her, she seems somehow surprised by my answer, 'Was I too excited?'

A bell rings,

"Well then, Y/N, I'll see you there, and here's my number so we can talk shit about Schlatt."

"Hey!"

She laughs and hands me a paper, before walking away. 'I like her, shes fun,' I think to myself.

I pull out my phone with the cracked screen and black case that's missing a piece, and type in Minx's number.

-You

Hey, is this Minx? >

Unknown number-
<Yeah, so this is Y/N, right?

-You
Yup, I'm glad I typed in the number right lol>

minx-
<So we're gonna hate on Schlatt now?

-You

minx-

-You
