009 - Lunch

During monday, I was ready to blow my brains out. I had officially had my first encounter with the high school bitch bully. She had questioned me about the jackass group, she thinks I've gotten the jackass group's attention, she accused me of weird things and I had just ended up not saying anything to her, I had just stepped around her to leave.

"What else did she say?" Francesca asked me as she licked her spoon, Celina was drinking the gossip up as we ate lunch.

"Not much, there was smoke coming out of her ears though" I said and shrugged. The two laughed but suddenly went quiet as people started to fill in the empty seats around our table.

I froze as I felt two bodies sit on each side of me. Francesca and Celina's mouths were slightly open and their eyes wide.

"Hi" West said in my ear, I shove him back and chuckled. "What are you doing here?" I ask him, only to see all of them sitting at our table.

I almost don't dare to look to my other side. I knew it was Mitch. I also knew that everyone had stopped whatever they were doing in the cafeteria to watch the jackasses.

I shot Mitch a small smile as we glanced at each other. He returned it slightly and looked back at Oliver who talked as if they hadn't just changed location.

North wrapped his arm around Fran's shoulders and pulled her close. She hit his chest and glanced around them. "This is not good" Celina hissed to both Fran and I.

I looked up and saw Melanie-the bitch bully look at me. With nothing but pure fire and anger in her eyes. "Oh fuck, you're gonna get me killed" I retorted and lowered my head a little.

"By who?" West and North questioned at the same time. "Bitch Bully over there" I hissed. "Don't look, she's worse than medusa, I swear to god" I muttered. But the twins didn't listen and turned around to stare at Melanie.

"Okay, not that this hasn't been nice-but uh-we like breathing, so-we're gonna go" Francesca said and stood up, while shrugging North off of her.

Celina followed suit and that left me in disbelief. But when I saw they were serious I got up as well. "Yeah okay, bye" I called out, though Mitch grabbed my wrist slightly, I paused and he signed.

'7 tonight?' I nodded my head and flashed him a small smile. He nodded and let me leave.

"Bye baby!" West shouted, letting everyone glare at me as he waved my way with a teasing look in his eyes. He wanted me dead, that fucker.

"Go, go, go-bitch bully is coming!" Celina whisper shouted and grabbed both Francesca and I's arms and pulled us after her. All three of us set into running and we disappeared down the hall.

All three of us started cackling as we hid in the locker rooms. "Oh my god, we're so dead" I Fran winced.

"Who is this bitch and why is she so possessive of the jackass group?" I ask them as I lean against the lockers, catching my breath.

"She used to date North, Oliver and she keeps trying to catch Mitch, he doesn't want to though, she's just not used to rejection" Francesca retorted.

"So, she hates you two, what has that got to do with me?" I ask them. "I'm only friends with West" I say with a frown.

"You understand Mitch, he talked to you or signed or whatever you want to call it- she's jealous. Also, what they just did-it's only gonna make it worse. These guys never join other tables at lunch" Fran said, making me even more confused.

"It's like a huge deal because they're all mr. popular" Celina added in a mocking light voice, I assumed she had heard that a million times before.

"But you're not dating them are you? You just fuck them occasionally?" I ask, trying to make sure I got all of the information.

"Yeah, though lately North has been trying to convince me to go out with him- I reject him" Fran said and shrugged a little. "For real? Oliver asked me to be his girlfriend last time we had sex, I basically just jumped off of him and ran" Celina said.

I couldn't hold it in anymore, I burst out laughing as I pictured it. Oh god. "What the hell is wrong with you guys? Oh god-I fucking love you" I said while laughing, I wiped my tears away.

"Cute, confessions and all-" A voice called out. Our laughter died down as all three of us had a panicked look on our faces.

"Melanie" Fran acknowledged with a cold glare. "You-new girl, leave Mitch alone. He's mine, not yours. Know your place before you get hurt" Melanie retorted.

I scoffed and pushed myself off of the lockers and approached her. "Is that a threat or a promise?" I ask her with a raised brow.

"I don't give two shits about Mitch, I don't know the dude. I don't want to be involved in whatever crazy shit you have going on, count me out. But don't threaten me again, sweetheart or else we will have issues" I warn her, she cowered a little under my glare, I was a few inches taller than her.

"You stay out of my way-I stay out of your way, deal?" I asked her, I sent her a harsh look, daring her to make a move. I wanted to dent her face badly.

"Deal" Melanie huffed and turned on her heel. Four girls were waiting by the door, holding it open. When Melanie walked out I glared after her, of course Mitch and West walked by-their eyes automatically met Francesca, Celina, Melanie and I.

I clenched my jaw as I watched her retreat with her bitches. "You got balls, girl" Fran exhaled and wiped fake sweat off of her forehead.

"Who the fuck does she think she is?" I scoffed in disgust at her manners. "A bitch with money" Celina answered with a pfft and an eyeroll.

The three of us exited the locker rooms and headed to class. Mrs. Banks' class. We sat in the back and were almost asleep on the desk when Mrs. Banks cleared her throat loudly.

I sat up straight and saw her eyes on me, I slowly kicked Fran as she hadn't moved. I kicked her harder and she lifted her head. "What?" She asked me groggily from sleep.I pursed my lips in a thin line and Fran looked up, her eyes widened and she shot Mrs. Banks a sheepish smile.

"Nicolina, you're paired with Mitch. Francesca and North, Celina and Oliver. Jessica and West" She listed and my eyes widened and my jaw dropped.

WHAT!? Is she trying to get me killed?

When she was done listing the groups for the project, I slammed my hand up, she sighed and went down to me, I felt Melanie's glare at me.

Mitch also looked at me, I ignored both of them. "Mrs. Banks. It's really not a good idea to pair me with Mitch, maybe Melanie is a better fit? I think it's a bad decision, I want to live" I told her and my eyes flickered from Melanie who threateningly pretended to put a knife over her throat and Mitch who looked at me slightly offended and confused.

"What are you talking about? Are you feeling alright?" She asked and eyed me, I leaned my head back to create distance and winced at the coffee breath.

"Melanie and Mitch, pair me up from anyone but Mitch" I hissed at her slightly. She was clueless, she didn't understand shit.

"Mitch, take Nicolina to the school nurse, I think she's having a stroke" Mrs. Banks said. I glared at her and dropped helplessly back in my chair.

"I'm gonna die, this is it" I told Fran who was laughing along with Celina. I could even hear West and North snickering in the side of the class.

"There, there, it's gonna be okay. At least till the end of school then she'll most definitely kill you" Fran confirmed.
