I made my way over to my usual table from the lunch line, when I got there I watched as Peter and Zac shoved each other while fighting over how to get the last protein bar Chris had been bringing for us to prepare for the game next weekend. I sat down and quietly grabbed the apple from my tray. I glanced around the room trying to find him. I looked from table to table until I finally found him sitting alone at a table in the corner. He had his hood up and was hunched over writing something on his arm. No food was around him, just a half empty water bottle. I watched as he rifled through his bag looking for something. I was hoping he was going to grab something to eat but all he brought out was another pen.
"Dude! What are you doing, I've been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes," Chris grunted as he shoved me
"Ow, sorry man. I was just thinking, I guess."
"Whatever, did you hear that stupid ass Felix kid had like, a total breakdown this morning," He spat Felix's name as if it was something awful to say out loud, "Everyone thinks he's going crazy. He's probably gonna snap the next time someone talks to him."
"Dude, shut up no one cares, it's none of our business anyway."
"Damn bro what has your dick in a twist."
"Dude, I'm dealing with some shit just leave me alone," I snap as he stares at me with his mouth wide open. I'm never this upset, I haven't yelled at any of the guys before, that was more of a Zac thing.
I look back to the table in the corner and watch as he gets up and walks out of the cafeteria, he makes his way to the library before I lose sight of him. I sigh and turn back to my food. Finally the bell rings, thank god I only have three more classes until I can go home. Oh wait, fuck. I have detention, god why can't I think shit through before I say it. I manage to make it through the rest of my classes without snapping at anyone and I don't get in trouble by any more teachers which is a major plus. At last my seventh period teacher starts to wrap up the lesson and dismisses us. I trudge down the hall to Mr. Klint's room taking a breath before I go in. I really don't want to spend an hour with only Klint especially when he's in a bad mood. But as I open the door my mouth falls open and my eyes widen... He's here.
