Chapter Eight: The Play

"That new kid likes you,"

The voice stopped me as I was shutting my locker, turning my head to see Jeffree giving me a pointed look. I raised my eyebrow, "what?"

He crossed his arms and leaned against the rows of binders, "The cutie. He likes you,"

I hugged my books against my chest as I finally closed the metal door, turning and pressing my back against them. Skylar likes me? I looked at the tranny, confused, "how do you know?"

"Well, he seems to be warming up to you the most," he said. Both of us glanced over at the blonde who was talking with Mason, a small smile graced of his lips as he covered them to laugh at something.

I furrowed my brows, thinking, "I'm pretty sure he's straight,"

"Hm, you think so? I thought he'd be on team gay," his manicured nails rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he looked at the boy, "admit it though, if you weren't with Jayy, you'd be wanting to find out,"

I shrugged. Yeah, Skylar was a natural cutie, but it didn't interest me, "Eh. But that's not the cause. Why don't you find out? You're surely interested,"

It was his turn to shrug, "I very much am. I mean, that ass. But I think I'll wait this one out,"

"Really?" I looked at him surprised. When Jeffree wants something, he'll go for it.

He nodded, "yeah. It's better when they come to you."

I rolled my eyes, "you're sure cocky,"

A smirk curled on the side of his lip gloss coated lips before we both made our way over to the table, walking right into an argument.

"Cookie!" Skylar wailed, glaring at Mason, Zoe, and Rory.

"Cream!" They all hollard back, creepily at the same time.

"What?" I sat down in my seat next to Jayy who was rubbing his temples.

"They're fighting over what part of Oreo's are better. The cookie or the cream,"  he answered, sighing.

"Oh. The cookie is better," I said as I opened my binder.

When those words left my lips, everyone looked at me as if I grew wings.

".... What?" I shifted uneasily from their stares, "Jeesh, it's just a cookie,"

"Just a cookie?!" Zoe almost shrieked, making most of the room stare at us weirdly, "Oreo's are not just cookies. They are Milks favorite cookie!"

I held my hands up, rolling my eyes at her overreactmemt, but still not wanting to be killed, "Okay, okay! Goddamn. Fine. But I still think the cookie part is better,"

"I feel betrayed," Rory said, holding her hand over her heart.

"I'm gonna faint," Mason spoke breathlessly as he stumbled, dramatically putting the back of his hand over his forehead before sitting heavily in his seat.

"At least someone agrees with me," Skylar said, huffing his chest defensively at everyone.

"Ladies, gentlemen, and others," Mr. Baker suddenly was in the middle of the room, making all of the students, including us, to look at him.

He grinned and suddenly held up some papers, "The school is hosting its very own play this year for the seniors and Juniors!"

As the room grew silent, I sighed, "What play?"
