The Grief Of Others

Chapter 5: Food Fight!

After I Was Introduced To The Class, I Noticed An All Too Familiar Face. It Was Daegon Sitting In The Back. Akel Was Sitting In The Back Aswell With Daegon, The Two Individuals Talking Before Akel Noticed Me And Waved Me Over. Daegon's Eyes Widened Before He Looked Down. Akel Would Seemingly Ask Him What's Wrong Before Daegon Whispered Something To Me. Akel's Face Turned Serious, Looking At Me With Pity Before Whispering Back To Daegon. I Sighed, Walking Over And Taking A Seat Beside Both Of Them. Daegon Would Begin Speaking. "Mi Amigo, I'm Sorr-" He Said Before I Cut Him Off. "It's Fine, Daegon..It..It Wasn't Your Fault. I Don't Hold Grudges. But, You're Gonna Tell Me What The Hell You Do And Who That Was Is." I Said Sternly, Avoiding Eye Contact With Both Akel And Daegon. The Teacher Infront Of The Class Began Teaching Us About The Vietnam And The Casualties Of The Aftermath. Dageon And Akel Were Screwing Around, Talking About Girls And The Fights They've Won While I Payed Attention, Wanting A Good Grade In This Class. Daegon And Akel Saw Me Focusing And Taking Notes. They Both Looked At Eachother And Began Taking Notes Aswell, Trying To Focus On The Lesson. In The Corner Of My Eye I Noticed Someone Staring At Me. She Looked Beautiful, Her Black Hair Covering Bits Of Her Hazel Eyes. Her Dark Skin Was Perfectly Shaded And She Kept Staring Before Glancing Back To Her Friends That Clearly Weren't Paying Attention. I Took No Notice Of The Staring And Continued On With My Lesson, Helping Out Akel And Daegon.

After Class, Lunch Soon Began Starting. I Stayed Beside Daegon And Akel As They Rejected Anyone Who Tried Asking Them To Join Their Lunch Table. Akel Noticed I Was Being Quiet As Usual And Wrapped His Arm Loosely Around My Neck. "C'mon Zack! Let's Go Eat Some Shitty Food In A Shitty School." He Said, Chuckling A Bit. Daegon Smiled A Bit "Yeah, Shitty Food. I Would Kill For Some Carnitas Or Atleast A Burrito." Daegon Said, His Accent Clearly Showing. "Yeah, You Sure Would Mexican Boy." Akel Said Jokingly. They. Both Began Laughing With Eachother, Coming Back To Back With Rude Insults. I Simply Followed Them To A Lunch Table By A Large Table Full Of Popular Kids. As We All Sat Down I Began Resting My Head Onto The Table, Yawning A Bit. Suddenly, Akel Would Slap The Back Of My Head, Causing Me To Rub The Back Of My Head. I Said A Small "Ow" Before Glaring At Akel. Akel Put His Hands Up, Teasing Me. "Woah! So Scary!" He Said, Chuckling And Walking With Daegon To The Lunch Line. After A Bit, Some Girl Would Begin Sitting Beside Me. She Had Blonde Hair And Was Very Pretty. A Girl That Definitely Wouldn't Go For A Guy Like Me. "Hey! You New Here?" She Asked Kindly, Smiling. I Nodded A Bit, Avoiding Eye Contact With Her. She Frowned A Bit Due To My Shyness. "Hey, New Kid! Since You're New And All..Wanna Come To My Party That's Tonight? It'll Be Great Since My Parents Are Gone For The Week!" She Said Before Giggling A Bit. "My Name's Charlotte Dempsey! What's Your Name, New Kid?" She Said Happily, Resting Her Hand Onto My Arm. "Zack..Zack Gravemen." I Said Quietly. She Began Feeling Around My Arm, Her Eyes Trailing From My Lap To My Eyes. "Okay, Zack. I'll Meet You There!" She Said Seductively, Slowly Standing Up And Walking Off, Her Hips Slightly Swaying As She Walked To Her Table. I Didn't Notice The Staring At All For Awhile. Akel And Daegon Sat Beside Me, Putting Down Large Trays Full Of Food. Daegon Began Taking A Bite Out Of A Meatball Sub Before Akel Threw A Sliced Apple Into His Face. Daegon Glared At Akel, Grabbing A Meatball From His Sub And Whipping It At Akel. Akel Dodged To The Side, The Meatball Hitting The Back Of Some Random Kids Head. The Kid Swore Before Laughing A Bit, Throwing Food Back At Daegon And Akel. Soon, The Whole Lunch Room Would Be Having A Whole Fucking Food Fight! I'd Quickly Grab My Bag, Using It As A Shield As I Ran Out Of The Lunchroom And To The Bathroom, Groaning A Bit As I Clean Off The Food From My Backpack. Wow, What A Day
