Zach's POV

"The devil you know is not as frightening as the angel that you don't know"

"Hey, can you uh get my lunch for me?, you know what I always get right?" I asked Sam out of the blue, making him stare at me in somewhat confusion, probably wondering why he had to do it while I was standing with him in the line to get our lunch.

"Yeah, sure" Sam states, raising a brow at me but I ignored it and handed him my tray and a dollar note from my pocket without checking, before I started to walk away from him.

But what he didn't know was that I had seen Kendall and Ayana and their group standing over Amal's table again, while the girl, Amal looked like she would rather be anywhere else than to be stuck in their presence. Like Can't that girl ever catch a break?, I swear to the heavens ever since I had office transferred back to this school, those people have been following her around like a very abusive but obsessively possessive boyfriend, it's interesting that no one even pays mind to it, how could they pretend to be blind when it was right in their face, his face.

The only reason he had stayed back and not interfered is only because he is aware that the annoying group were still yet to put their hands on her but they seem to be willing to follow her into the depth of the earth, maybe even into hell if that exists...but looking at her now, looking at the way she was staring at them with panic, with fear, it was just sad to him.

She was looking around as if she was looking for a route to escape, but they blocked it by the way they were surrounding her while completely pretending that the girl before them, was fine and comfortable, as if she wasn't currently searching for a route to use to escape making me let out a sigh, because well Amal...., I guess this is where I come in.

"Sooooo, what are we talking about?" i ask with a fake smile as i take a seat on the chair, next to Amal, blocking them from having direct access to her as she seemed to flinch away from me, not that I cared, I stared at them dead in the eye before reaching in Amal's direction, I grabbed the snack from her hand which she was clenching before taking a bite out of it, making everyone to stare at me in disbelief even Amal had her mouth opened in shock and disbelief because well to them, I am eating the food of an 'ISIS member' a 'terrorist" gross so I guess that's why they are staring but Amal no, not her!, she was full on looking at me with murder in her gaze, making me realise what I had done, i just ate her lunch, ops.

"Hey, What are you staring at?" I asked innocently as I pretended to just notice their stares until now.

"That was MY SHAWARMA!" Amal states disbelief clearly in her voice, well isn't she possessive?, suddenly now she was willing to fight...over food?...I'm honestly shocked.

"Ops Sorry dear but it is in my stomach now....so hey, are you guys just gonna stand and stare like the weirdos you are or are you guys going to walk away before lunch time runs out?" I asked the group to glare at me before they walked away. Well, finally those eyes are gone but then I still can feel one more glaring at the side of my face.

"What?" I ask , keeping my face straight....well trying too... the expression on her face though, i wanted nothing more than to burst out laughing at it but I know that wouldn't help matters, especially for me.

"Hey!, That was MY SHAWARMA,MINE" She states again in disbelief and anger while I struggled to keep a serious face as amusement hit me like a train.

"Oh trust me,I knew that!" I say as I stare at her in amusement as she looked like she was trying so hard to not get angry but she was at the brink of it already.

"Why are you even here?" Amal asks angrily yet i could see the confusion and questions in her eyes

"It was honestly more delicious than I had expected " I say with a smug smile. Ignoring her question, I could have sworn that a bomb went off inside her head.

"Well thanks to you now, I won't be able to taste it ...jerk!" She exclaims angrily , making me stare at her with an amused smile before grabbing her hand while ignoring her protest with words telling me to let go of hands, She was saying something along the lines of harem or something like that, whatever that means. it's not like I wanted to hold her hands honestly.

Normally , any kind of bodily contact would have my skin crawling but right now I just wanted to put her snack or food back from where I had taken it from to put on the show I did take part in not too long ago. I let go of her hands immediately to calm my own panic from how it felt like there was something under my skin that is currently crawling and also to keep her from bursting another blood vessel in her head due to her love for her shawerma.

She stares at me in disbelief before she stared down at her half eaten food and repeatedly did so, while i quickly sat up preparing to run away now very aware that I had really angered a girl with a traditional food fetish, My eyes searched for Sam until they finally found him, he was seated a few tables away from Amal's table making me want to race over there, i needed to get away from this angry girl who was about to explode...

I really need to get away even if it would be just a table away from here, so I stood up sharply while avoiding to glance at her, speed walking my way over to where my friend was seated, but I could still feel it following me, like a shadow making me look back, only to meet her deadly stare, i sent her a smug smirk before looking away and taking a seat next to my best friend.

"So What was that all about?" Sam asks curiously

"Oh Nothing really" I say with a shrug before dragging my tray closer to me and I almost choked on the Apple, I was eating when Sam rolled his eyes knowing that I wasn't going to tell him anything more, I guess I enjoy making people mad at me sometimes, San says it's annoying whenever I'm trying to be mysterious....but the thing is that I am not...I just don't really like telling everyone what happens in my life.

"Thanks for getting me the food, honey" I say teasingly, making Sam scowl in disgust at me calling him honey.

"Aren't you going to say you are welcome?" I asked although I knew that I was playing with fire but I just couldn't help it,it was so hilarious.

"Just know that i'm keeping the change from the 50 dollars you gave me for your lunch today " he states in a dry tone while staring at me dead in the eyes making me to burst out laughing, making him glare at me obviously now getting irritated by my action even further then before proving just how mad he actually is that I'm choosing to ignore answering his question, I'm sure that Amal was also mad over the same thing...

Or rather only because of me eating her shawarma but still...

The reality of everything is that the reason I couldn't tell Sam what that was all about was because I myself really didn't even know what I was doing there in the first place. Normally I like to mind my business...but apparently not today...not when it had to do with a bunch of self entitled idiots messing with my old friend.
