"So you and Dustin? You guys together yet?" I asked Clair as we sat at lunch. Funny how just 2 one week ago I broke up with Elliot for her.
"Not yet.."She said glancing at her phone giggling. I looked at the 2 tables down to see Dustin doing the same as Clair. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. What goof balls. Out of the corner of my eye I saw. Zoe and her group of look a likes. It' snot that I had anything against most of them. It just is kind of weird. They all eat the same thing and try to impress each other.I find it kind of creepy. They were sitting and starring. I decided not to say anything.
"So I've been thinking maybe on saturday we could go look for homcoming dresses in Kanas City?" I say looking at the girls who are sitting at the table.
They replied with head nods and numerous 'that sounds fun'. From all except one. Clair was once again glued to her phone.
"Clair?Earth to Hoppner?" I say snapping my fingers next to her face.
"Yeah sorry.....Dustin just said something really funny."she answered still obsessing over her phone.
I looked at Piper with that look you can only give your best friends. She returns the same look and I knew something big was going to happen.Next thing I knew, Piper got up and walked over to the boys' table. I watched her whisper something to Dustin and hold out her hand. He handed over his phone and she came back over to the table. She held out her hand and said,"Give it". Everyone knew exactly what she meant. Clair looked at her wearily and handed over the phone. Piper then dropped both phones in the pocket of her new 'Love Pink' sweatshirt. "So how has everyone been today?" Piper asked acting like nothing had just happened.
"When do I get my phone back?"Clair asked starring in shock.
"After lunch and if you ask again then not until the end of the day."Piper responded finishing her Hot Pocket she had made in the schools microwave. You see our lunch ladies really suck at cooking. By the second week of school, more than half the school started bring their lunch. That includes the teachers. So the student council purchased 2 microwaves. I myself think that it was a well needed investment. "Anyone want to go throw their trash way with me she asked getting up.
"I'll go." I say getting up and grabbing the empty fruit cup and Hot Pocket wrapper. Piper and I got up and walked over to the blue trashcan. They really should put one on both ends of the lunch room. On my way back, I feel 2 arms wrap around my waist. My first instinct is to kick back if someone comes and grabs you. So that is exactly what I did. I didn't know the person behind me was Traycon. Next thing I knew, I heard a muffled 'ouch'.
"What was that for?" he asked as I spun around.
"Self-defense."I yell smiling at him."What if you were a rapist?"
"I'd be your rapist!"he said."So saturday night you want to hang?"
"Can't homecoming dress shopping with the girls."
"Sunday?"he asked looking at me with his big brown eyes. I am still not quit sure what we are. After the kiss, we kind of just started hanging out. We never really talked about it. I kept wanting to bring it up ,but I never could find the right time.
"Family picnic for my grandpa..."I reminded him. My grandpa had been in the hospital the past couple weeks and they didn't think he had much time left. He told everyone he wanted to have a picnic before he died. That way he knew he cold say all his goodbyes.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I completely forgot."
"It's fine what about friday after the game."I ask.
"Okay, it's a date."he said as I cocked my eyebrow. "No, not like a like date date. Just like you know two friends just like you know hanging out. Like a friend date. Okay that sounded way better in my head."He said babbling on nervously.I laughed at the sweat coming from his forehead.
"It's fine, I was just messing with you."I say trying to control my laugh.
"You are a mean girl, Jamie, a mean mean girl!"He yelled back as he walked to the boys' table.
"Why thank you."I yelled back walking back to our table. As I walk by the 'populars', I hear the word slut.I knew they weren't at me. but I immediately know who they are talking about. They all sat and starred at her.I knew war was about to start. And a war with those girls is like a fire verses fire and someone always gets burned, but that someone is never them. Looks like I better get Clair ready before she gets burned.....
