*DAISY'S POV*

"Hey Daisy." Payton comes towards me as i'm at my locker.

"Guess what."

"What?"

"I ran into Elijah yesturday, like literally, and i convinced him to come to get food with me and he actually came. We like talked a little bit, mostly me. He said people in town don't like him because he doesn't participate and has had sex. He's actually not a bad person."

"Okay that's crazy."

"I know."

"You also forget that he is kind of rude to everyone."

"I guess so, but i don't know. I feel like there's something more about him. There has to be a reason he's like that."

She just smiles at me as i talk.

"Oh stop it." I break our gaze with a giggle. I look across the hall at Elijah and his friends all chatting. He is leaning against the lockers his arms crossed over his chest as he looks at me.

I quickly look away and me and Payton walk to class. We sit in our usual chairs together.

"Okay Daisy don't look but Elijah is totally staring at your right now." She whispers. I slyly look around and see him looking at me.

"I told you not to look."
"Sorry." I giggle.

After lesson the bell rings and we go to the cafeteria. Payton grips my hand and pulls me towards Elijah's table. She pulls me down into a seat, luckily she sits me and her next to each-other.

The boys all look between eachother furrowing their brows and then look at us.

"Uhm hi." Collin says.

"Hi." I smile.

"What are you doing?" Elijah looks at us with a grumble. Jordan hits his shoulder.

Elijah hits Jordan's shoulder back and he falls to the floor. Me and Payton burst out into giggles while Jordan sits back in the chair with a huff.

"What are you doing?" Elijah asks again.

"We're sitting at your table." Payton replies.

"Why? Won't you get in trouble or something?" Collin asks.

"We think they are liars." Payton says.

"We do?" I look at her.

"Yes. We do."

"Right." They nod.

We all just sit there in an awkward silence for a while.

"So what's everyone's favourite food?" I ask. I look at Elijah's plate of food. Steak.

Does he only eat steak?

"You like steak i assume." I look back to Elijah's eyes.

"Mhm."

"You don't talk much do you?"

"No he doesn't, and if he does, he's grumpy." Jordan replies.
