SEÑORITA

Chapter Five

       The hallway was filled with smartphone  zombies all over. Everyone’s attention was on their phones but when Debbie, who wore a short red  loose- fitting  dress with a pair of   black thigh high boots walked unto the hallway from her class, all eyes were on her. When she saw that people’s attention was on her, she froze with her books in her hands. Just then people from behind bumped into her making her realize that she was blocking the way.
“ Sorry” She apologized whilst she walked away to give them way.
As she walked on the hallway she looked round and saw people looking at her , mumbling and gossiping about her. She felt a little bit emotional for while but she got over it and walked on the hallway with her head  held high up in confidence. She stormed into the cafeteria like she didn’t care about anyone , spotted Pete and Alex and walked towards them. As she walked by people she heard them whispering things about her but she ignored them. She got to the table, sat by Pete, directly facing Alex and smiled at them both.
“ Are you okay?”, asked Pete.
“ Why are you asking that?”
“ It looks clearly that your trying to hide your tears with the smile, Deb.”
“ Like really Pete, I am ok.”
She then looked down and glimpsed at what they called food in the school. Thursday was the day they served the nicest food in the cafeteria, beans and rhubarb  sauce, well  that was what they were told the food was.
“ Do you like what you are eating?” Debbie asked Alex.
“ Well as far as it tastes nice and satisfies my hunger, I am okay with it.”
“ Okay then, have fun eating your blob, while I eat my delicious turkey wrap and tacho sandwich .” Debbie joyfully said as she brought out her homemade lunch.
“ Oh can I have some?” asked Pete.
“ Sure Pete, you can have some.” Debbie gave one of her tachos to Pete while she enjoyed the rest.
“ Well, can I also have some?” Alex asked whilst giving her puppy eyes.
“ No!”
“What? Why ?”
“ I thought you were enjoying your food.”
“ Ah, don’t be stingy. It is always caring to give. If you give me some I will be re…
Just then Alex saw that Debbie’s attention wasn’t on what he was saying. She had froze and her eyes started to be become gleamy.
“ Deb, De-b , are you listening?”
He then turned to see what she was looking at and  saw that she was looking at Drew and Angeli  on the last table in the cafeteria. They were eating and giggling and being all lovey-dovey. When Drew turned and saw that Debbie was looking at him Debbie freaked out and kissed Alex to make him jealous. Drew turned away  in disappointment and anger.
“ Oh, oh I see what you are doing.” Alex said when Debbie stopped kissing him. “ You are trying to make him jealous”. He then drifted closer to Debbie and said. “Look if you want to keep on doing this to make him jealous I am all in”
“ Really?” Debbie asked in excitement.
“ Really Deb”, replied Alex.
“ But honestly, Drew will stupidly believe that you guys are a thing. In fact you guys are a good couple!” Pete encouraged.
“ Okay , let’s do it then!” Debbie excitedly said as she raised her hand to high five Alex and later high fived Pete.

 
Alex and Debbie were doing a good job at  making Drew jealous. They were kissing in class,  acting lovey-dovey and staring into each other’s eyes. For Debbie it was just acting but it meant more than the world to Alex. He could kiss her without any permission because, they were  “dating”. Anytime Drew saw Alex and Debbie acting like lovers, he got angry and frustrated to the extent that he confronted Debbie. After the last lesson that day, He walked over to Debbie’s desk and said,
“ Can I have a word with you?”
“ No she can’t, we have somewhere to go.” Alex defensively answered.
“ First of all mama’s boy, I was not talking to you, I was talking to Debbie so bounce!”
“ Look Drew, you can’t talk to my boyfriend like that.” Debbie defended. “ But Alex you go, I will join you later.”
“ Ok then, see you later babe.”, Alex said as he kissed her making Drew so pissed off. As Alex left, a beam of tears dropped as he thought of how Drew called him a mama’s boy. “ I am not a mama’s  boy!”cried Alex in his thought.
When Alex left, Drew sat in front of Debbie and wore a remorseful look on his face.
“ Look, Debbie, I was thinking that we should get back together. I’ve really missed you, you know.”
“ No, we can’t. You think after humiliating me, I will crawl back into your arms?”
“ Yeah, that was exactly what I thought.”
“Well if you really thought that then you are a fool. I mean you are already a fool I don’t know why I dated you in the first place.”
“ I love you Deb.”
“ No you don’t, so bounce!”
Debbie got up, took her bag and strode off, leaving Drew in the class alone.
