three.

As advised by my new friend Pope, I did my best to stay on the good side of Mr Donaldson. Chemistry isn't my strong point but I made it through my first class. I nearly fell asleep at one point but managed to play it off as a 'long blink'.

After my next two classes I headed to the cafeteria to get lunch. It was just like every other basic American high school cafeteria, but also not at the same time. I go up to the counter to get my food, as i'm deciding a tall brunette boy comes up beside me.

"I wouldn't get that if I was you." He taunts.

"And why would that be?" I reply

"Because it is inedible"

"What are you getting then if you're so knowledgable?"

"I'm not"

"What do you mean you're not"

"I mean I would never voluntarily put anything from this place in my mouth"

"And why's that?"

"Like I already said, it's inedible."

"So what are you doing then."

"I'm going out."

"Wow takes a genius to figure that one out. I mean where."

"Not sure yet, I'll decide later."

"Okay well for now I'll just suck it up and eat the inedible"

"Okay, suit yourself. Unless you want to come and find something better with me?" He grins. I think about it for a second before replying.

"Well I mean I don't know you, stranger danger!" I joke.

"Would my name help?"

"Sure"

"John B, and you are.."

"Bella. Is there a reason its just a B, does is mean something?"

"Well if you must know, and this is only for your safety against me, a stranger, then I guess I can share my deepest secre-"

"I don't actually care I was just asking." I say cutting him off, leaving him a little speechless.

"Okay... well if you're done interrogating me can we go  get some real food?"

"Lead the way."

We walk down to a small cafe called 'The Wreck'. We walk in and sit at a table near the back. As I go to pick up the menu John B snatches it from my hand and puts them on a chair next to him.

"I will order for us, you don't have a clue what you want."

"Hence why I was picking up the menu?!"

"Oh hush." He grins and walks up to the counter to order.

Once he's back we sit for about 10 minutes before a man with a name badge that read 'Mike C.' placed 3 plates on the table before asking if we wanted anything to drink, I got a water and John B ordered a beer. Everything looked delicious, way better than the 'inedible' school lunch. 

As we are eating I hear a familiar voice. Looking up I see Kiara, she's talking to 'Mike C'. We make eye contact and she smiles at me. I wave her over.

"Oh my god hi!" she grins.

"Hey!" John B and I say in unison.

"I see you've unfortunately met John B.." she jokes.

"Haha yeah, ran into him at school when he advised me not to poison myself."

"What can I say, i'm a hero." John B he says smuggly.

"Well I sadly admit he's one of my closest friends. You should hang out with us some time?" Kiara offers.

"Yeah?  That'd be great." I say.

"Well I have to get back to work" Kiara sighs. "Lunch shifts the busiest and I want to get back to school haha."

"You work here?" I ask.

"Yeah, well, my dad owns this place" She points to Mike C.

"Ohh sick, the foods amazing!" I say.

"Ah well, I make it my self" She jokes.

"Okay okay ladies, enough with the flirting, thought you had places to be Kie?" John B interrupts.

Kiara laughs, flips him off and walks away.
We then swiftly finish up our food and get back to school.
