Ditched

Day 1 Check.

5

It's 25 minutes into lunch period and I'm sitting with a bunch of people I just met. They are having and argument about who's tallest.

"Mate we all know I'm the tallest."
Asher says and slams his fists on the table.

"Shut up. Everyone here knows that I'm tallest. I, Xander, always win."

Yasmine and and Asher start to laugh and I can't help but let out a giggle. I look over to Laura and Brad only to find them making out. Yasmine follows the direction of my eyes and nudges me.

"Don't let it bother you, they can never get enough. They have been like this for a year now, but I would be a hypocrite if I complained. Plus Xander has kinda gotten used to it."

"Oh no it doesn't bother me. It's cute. I'm just surprised that they are so comfortable around so many people."

"Trust me, there's been worse moments."

She turns away from me and kisses Asher, who starts to laugh. I look away and find my face only centimetres away from Xander's.

Our eyes meet, my face is frozen and I can't look away. He does though, but then shakes his head and looks right at me again.

"So April, how tall are you?"

"5'4 why?"

"Well we tend to have this argument a lot and we all know Asher's the tallest but only by a few inchs so it doesn't count."

I give him a confused look and just when he's about to say something, a wannabe Barbie storms into the cafeteria. As she approaches us she starts to yell.

"Get a room you perverts!"

Laura and Brad spring apart from each other and give this girl the deadliest glares I have ever seen. Laura looks more then angry than anything else.

"Oh please Joelle! If anything your the school's biggest skank-"

"What did you just say Laura? Xander, are you going to just sit there?!"

Xander ignores her and looks away, but not before I see the smirk on his face. This time Yasmine takes it upon herself to answer this so called "Joelle".

"Don't you have more important things to do with your precious time like freshman to bully, rumours to spread and pussys to purr with? Scurry along"

"Screw you Yasmine! Screw all of you!"

I slowly get up to go use the washroom, I almost make it out of my seat but not before Joelle turns around and falls right onto me.

"You bitch!"

"Well sorry princess." I mutter quietly but when I look up I know from the smile on my new friends' faces that they all heard what I said.

I get up and make my way to the closest 'loo' without getting lost. Improvement. Once I sit back down, Asher raises his palm. It takes me a minute to realize he is asking for a high five. I slap his hand and they all smile at me. Xander is the first to speak.

"Well princess, I think we all like you."

Princess? What?

"Princess?"

"Yeah princess... I think I can get used to calling you that."

I'm about to reply but the bell rings. They all get up and start grabbing their bags. Yasmine grabs Asher's collar and starts to kiss him like her life depends on it. I look over to Laura and Brad but they are already gone.
