"YOUR WHAT" Emma yelled.  It felt like the whole lunchroom stopped for a second but it went back to normal

"Emma" I whisper yelled at her. "Yeah yeah I'm sorry its just you surprised me when you said you were going to hang out with...him".

When Emma said him it sounded like she was talking about someone who just murdered her whole family.

It was lunch and Emma Gilda don and I were all eating in the lunchroom when I mentioned that I would be seeing Norman after school all three of them were surprised.

"Why would you want to meet with him anyway" Gilda said taking a bite out of her sandwich. I don't really know the answer myself so I just shrugged. 

"Well I say you ditch him and never speak to him again" Emma said. Wow she must really hate him.

"I don't know i just want to figure out more about him". Emma nodded but she still had a worried look."look I'm not trying to tell you who you can and can't hang out with I'm just trying to be a good friend and worn you don't fall for Norman or you will get hurt".

Emma wasn't smiling or speaking loud like she normally does so I knew she was serious.  I nodded and smiled."thanks and don't worry about me I know how to take care of myself". They all nodded and then the lunch bell rang telling us we have to go to are next class.

I was kinda disappointed because we only talked through all of lunch and we never actually ate. Plus with me meeting up with Norman after school means I won't be able to eat for a long while. That's when I had an idea

Ray
Hey I know I told you to meet me at the library after school but actually can we just meet at the school gate instead.

Norman
Yea that'll work but can I ask why.

Ray
I was thinking we could go to a cafe to eat something scince I didn't eat lunch

Norman
That'll work but seriously you gotta eat more your already tiny. Plus if you don't eat it can take away some of your beauty 😉.

Ray
Don't text me anymore 😑

Norman
I'm sorry please forgive me😢

Ray
Fine🙄

Norman
🥰

---------------------------------------------------------

I rolled my eyes and put my phone back in my pocket. Norman really was interesting. i don't  feel any romantic feelings toward him but that doesn't mean I don't want to learn more about him and why Emma hates him so much.

Time skip to after school

The bell rang and I walked over to the gate. I waited for like 10 minutes and Norman never showed up so I was about to walk home. What an asshole I thought we were friends but whatever I don't need him anyway. I didn't even want to make friends in this fucking school anyw-. My thoughts got cut off when I felt arms wrap around my waist from the back so from what my mother taught me I grabbed his arm and flped him over my shoulder onto his back only to see Norman on the ground infront of me and he looked hurt.

"Oh my God I'm sosososososo sorry" I freaked out helping him up. He just laughed and told me it was fine.

Damn that hurt but I guess thats what I get for being 10 minutes late and trying to scare him. Now I just wonder were he learned to do that. Maybe at his old school he did martial arts.

I noticed Ray grabbed both of my arms I'm guessing to check if I was hurt. "Aw do you care about me" I teased and he glared at me and let go of my arm. Sad I enjoyed the feeling of his hands. "Aw come on Ray you can keep touching me if you want" I continued teasing him.

"Do you wanna get fliped again" Ray threatened "no thanks I'm good for that being a one time thing ". I smiled at Ray and he smiled back but it wasn't the same sile he had when he beat me at my video game or when he was showing me all his books. This smile was nothing compared to them. It was almost like this one was fake.

"So were do you want to go for food" I asked trying to get my mind off of his smile. "Oh yeah I saw this small cafe a few blocks away if that will work". I new which one he was talking about so I nodded and we both walked there.

The walk was kinda awkward because noone was talking so I tried to start up a conversation. "So the next time you come over do you really think you can beat me". Ray laughed and looked at me" who said I'd ever come over again " I frowned at his response. "We had so much fun last night though why would you not want to".  Ray laughed again. "To answer your first question yes I could beat you again easily ". I looked at him for a second. "Wait but you said you weren't ever coming over again ". He stopped infront of me. "I never did say that. I said who says I'm going to." This boy is so confusing. 

"Anyways were here". I nodded and we both walked inside. It was a small french styled cafe. The smell of coffee and pastries filled the air. I had only been here twice but I did know to food was really good. I looked at Ray and he had an impressed look on his face. I grabbed his hand an lead him up to the counter to order.

His hand was smaller then mine but it was also extremely skinny.  We both looked at the menu and decided what we wanted to order. I got a caramel Frappuccino with some vanilla macaroon on the side while Ray got a black coffee and a slice of chocolate cake. The front desk lady took down are order's and told us we could go si down.

Ray and I sat down and are food was soon given to us. The lady told us are total. Ray went to pull out his wallet but I stopped him by putting my hand over his and handed the waitress a 100 doller bill and told her to keep the cash as her tip. Ray and the waitress were shocked but I assured then that it was fine. I think Ray forgot that my family was rich.

"Ray did you forget that I had alot of money" I said as a tease as the waitress walked off happy. Rays face went red and I smiled. "Plus what kind of man would I be to let someone as beautiful as yourself pay for anything ". Ray rolled his eyes at me then said. "Keep it to yourself you simp don't you already have a girlfriend ". I shook my head. "Nah I broke up with her today she was to touchy".

Rays face showed sadness and sympathy. "Why do you do this"? "What do you mean" asked confused.

"Your really nice but why most you break peoples hearts and not show a bit of regret for doing it".
