My mind was literally flying to the world called "Dreamland". Who could blame me? I was so intrigued by what was Brandon about to say. Just add the fact that all girls might as well travel to "Dreamland" when sitted next to a really gorgeous guy. Your hunches are right! I'm sitting right next to a Greek god named Brandon Harrison.
Lunch break didn't even bother fetching me from my "Dreamland". I was in a total daze until Leila, who I didn't notice was with me the whole time, snapped her fingers in front of me. "Seriously Pearl. Dream all you can, but don't you ever act without thinking. That's the Popular table. You simply can't sit there. Unless you're trying that hard to get his attention.", Leila lectured. As soon as she said that, I hopped into the farthest table from there. I might be way too attracted to him, but I'm not that desperate.
I feasted on my horrible meal, not minding how bad it tasted. All those daydreaming surely starved the hungry eels out of me. Leila, who was now seated in front of me and was munching on her burger, dropped the burger she was eating. I looked at her with a worried face, "Leila, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Pearl, if I were you, don't you ever dare look at your back." she said, with a disgusted look on her face. Being the curious that I am, not to mention the priceless look on Leila's face, I looked at my back, regretting that I ever did.
Tears formed into my eyes, as it diverted into the Popular Table where a couple was shamelessly kissing in front of the whole cafeteria. It was none other than, the famous Brandon Harrison and a redhead in a cheerleader outfit.
I faced Leila who was giving me an apologizing look. I laughed a bit, though my tears were continuously falling (making me look like a complete idiot). "I'm so obedient." I complimented myself, note the sarcasm. Leila just looked at me with a mix of worry and a look saying I told you so.
My heart broke into many pieces. Who would ever want to see someone you love for over seven years kissing someone who is a complete stranger to you? I looked back, although I know it would really hurt, only to make it ten thousand times worse. Everything was going slow motion. As soon as they broke out from that digusting lip colliding, Brandon took a necklace from his jean pocket, and tied it carefully around the redhead's neck.
It would've hurt lesser if that necklace wasn't my property. Yes, the one tethered around that red haired kissing monster was none other than my lost bluish-white pearl necklace.
I looked away before I could even strangle both of them. Yeah, I have no reason to be mad at him for kissing someone else. I'm not even his girlfriend. But seriously? I know that he recognizes that necklace as the same one he gave to me. So I have all the reason to be mad about it.
Leila might either be good at reading minds or a good observant. Before I could blurt out my own hate words, she spoke the same words the came across my mind, "He is one big jerk."

After the class, I savored all the time alone. I still couldn't get over what happenned earlier. Leila was worried about me, but I assured her that I could take care of myself.
I walked wherever my feet brought me. I didn't know where I was going, until a bunch of considerably hot guys with 'pervert' written on their foreheads swarmed around me. I tried to put on a tough facade, which was rather hard since I was still heart broken, but I managed to pull it off with my best fake smile on.
"What do you want?" I asked in my most authorative voice. There were sneers and wolf-whistles, and all I could do was hate them to the core. My then sour mood only turned into a bitter one.
"What else? Of course, you! It's only a rare event to have a hot new girl, so why not savor it?", a dark-haired dude said.
I tried to hide my disgust, but before I could blurt out something mean, a familiar voice erupted, "Hands off. That's my girl you're dealing with."
The guys around me let out a disappointed groan and dispersed into the halls. Sure enough, the same blonde guy who interrupted Brandon sneered at me. "I'm Jake." he said. He just stared at me for a while with... desire? "So, I meant what I said back there." he continued, pointing at the hallway leading to our classroom.
I looked at him uninterested but he continued anyway, "As I was asking, will you be my girlfriend?"
