RUBY MARTINEZ POV
"Look at them over there being all happy and shit," Jamal said bitterly as he fixated on Monse and Latrelle. They're sitting together and I notice that Olivia's sitting nowhere near them.
Latrelle and Olivia haven't been sitting together this whole week actually. What's up with that?
I glared at Latrelle. "I still can't believe that I lost my best friend to his ass."
"I hate to say this, but Cesar was right." Jamal looked at me earnestly. "Monse was never our best friend."
"Thank you for realizing that," an outside voice said. Cesar. And he's with Alexa.
"What the hell do you two want?" Jamal hissed.
Alexa spoke from beside Cesar. "Now now, Jamal. Is that any way to talk to your friends?"
"We're not friends."
Alexa shrugged. "We all have a common enemy so I don't see why not."
I looked at her confused. "Common enemy?"
"Monse," she stated. "I mean, she abandoned you guys, did she not? So you guys could use some friends right now."
I rejected her offer. "Jamal and I have each other. Besides, we'd just be trading one shady person for the next. Cesar's-"
Jamal abruptly covered my mouth. "You guys can sit with us!"
I looked at him bewilderedly. "WHAT?!"
Jamal removed his hand from my mouth and explained his reasoning. "I've been doing some thinking...why are we even mad at Cesar in the first place?"
"Because he cheated on our best friend!"
"Monse's not our best friend and at least Cesar never abandoned us! We abandoned him because of Monse, but she's not our friend anymore, so." Jamal smiled at Cesar. "Welcome back to the squad, Cesar."
Cesar smiled as he sat across from us. "Glad to be back."
What the fuck?
Alexa sat down next to Cesar, relieved. "I'm glad you came to your senses."
I didn't say a word though because I don't agree with this. Yeah Monse's being shady, but what we're doing is even more shady!
So I just ate my lunch grumpily and Alexa keeps looking at me. I think she can tell that I'm against this new friendship.
She elbowed Cesar. "Hey babe. Get me some lunch please? And take Jamal with you."
"Why? He already has lunch."
"Take him with you," Alexa demanded through gritted teeth.
Alexa scared Cesar a little bit. Then he and Jamal quickly went to the lunch line, leaving me alone with Alexa.
