I walk beside Valen to the cafeteria, excited that he's letting me ramble.
"—And another thing I can't get over is the fact that he left the show when he was my eye candy, you know? I mean, come on! The show is still amazing, but I miss him."
I turn my head and see Valen smiling at me, shaking his head. "I can't believe you like that show."
"Haha," I say inexpressively. "Where are you going?"
He stops his wave and walk off, looking back at me. A girl passes us with a tray of food, briefly cutting in between us. "Oh, um. Well, my table. Unless you want me to sit with you?"
I nod quickly. "Yes, if you want to. You're welcome to bring your friends."
He smiles. "My two friends?"
I laugh and sit down. "Yeah."
Rikkard passes us with his lunchbox, but Valen stops him. I watch their quiet conversation. Rikkard nods and glances at our table.
They walk over together, and Valen sits beside me. Rikkard sits beside Valen, putting him off to the far end of our group. I try to subtly motion for West to scoot over a seat, and he does so quickly, tapping Sam to move, too. Sam rolls his eyes and moves over.
Now Amber and Rikkard are just one seat off rather than Rikkard two seats away from the group.
"What about Jake?" I tap Valen's shoulder.
He shakes his head and points behind us to a table near his old one. Jake is sitting with a group of gorgeous girls, and I see Bianca in the group. Pretty sure they all must do some modeling jobs.
Amber sits down beside me and turns her body to face mine. "What is this?"
"A new seating arrangement," I answer, biting into one of the little carrots I packed.
"Hey, Amber," A deep voice sounds from the other side of Valen.
I snap my head over, surprised to see quiet Rikkard speaking to Amber first.
My head snaps to Amber to see her reaction. Her brows furrow. "Uh, hey."
"Why is he here?" Sam snaps, his eyes glaring at Valen. His body slumps slightly onto the table, giving him a bored look.
