"This is ridiculous, Lucas knows we have a campaign tonight!"
"Dustin, shut up!" I slammed my bedroom door to drown out my younger brothers voice.
"Cass, we have to leave, like now." He opened my door.
"Can you knock first, doofus." I rolled my eyes, standing up. Dustin knocked twice before shooting me a sarcastic smile. "C'mon."
Once we got to school, we parted ways. It wasn't until later during lunch that I saw Dustin again.
"Hey Cass!" I looked over from my seat to see Mike and Dustin waving at me as they made their way to their table. I waved back as a cheerleader approached me and my friends.
"Is that your little brother with the weird cult shirt on?" She laughed, holding her tray.
"Holy shit, did your left tit just pop? No? Oh, you should probably get that checked out. I don't think it's supposed to be that much smaller than your right." She stormed off, offended. "God I hate cheerleaders."
"Some of them aren't that bad. Like Chrissy, she's nice." Leena spoke through a mouthful of mashed potatoes.
"I guess. I've never had an actual conversation with her other than the time she bumped into me in the hallway and apologized a million times." I played with the stale green beans on my plate.
"You know who's hot? Jason."
"Jason Carver? Riya, he's a typical jock." I glanced at the boy from across the room.
"Okay but have you seen-"
"As long as you're into band, or science... or parties" One of the guys Dustin sat next to was standing on the table, yelling. "or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets!"
"Who is that?" Leena asked once Jason started talking to him.
"I think his name is Eddie? I don't know, Dustin's always talking about the leader of his club, I guess that's him." We looked back over at the boy and he had his tongue out with his fingers pointed beside his head like horns.
That was kinda hot.
"He has a nice smile." I pointed out as he stepped off of the table.
"Woah. Cass, you can't be serious. He's a freak." Leena whispered the last part.
"A social outcast." Riya shrugged.
"I'm sorry, and what are we?" I motioned to the three of us, looking around. "I don't see anyone lining up to be friends with us, do you?" They didn't say anything. "And my brother is, as you put it, one of those freaks." I crossed my arms, waiting for a response. I got nothing but two dropped jaws. "That's what I thought."
I picked up my tray and made my way across the cafeteria. "Scoot." I motioned for Mike to move into the chair next to him and I sat in his seat.
"And who might you be, m'lady?" The boy who I think is Eddie asked.
