Chapter 2 The Boy
When class is over in follow her to our next class. That is basically how the rest of the day goes. Until lunch.
I walk with Emily to lunch and she hands me a lunch tray. I accept it and get lunch. We walk over to a lunch table where her friends Veronica, Shelby, and Taylor sit. We start talking about what we did over the summer. And I just listen.
I can't help but feel like someone is watching me. I turn around and at the far end of the cafeteria I see him. Adam West.
"What about you Brittany?" someone asks.
"What? Sorry I was distracted" I say as my cheeks turn cherry red.
They laugh, "Who were you looking at?" Asks Shelby.
I gasp. I didn't think anyone saw me. "I.. I was.. Uh.."
"It's fine" she cuts me off. "You shouldn't waist your time on Adam. He is the biggest player ever!"
"Oh.." I say disappointed.
"Anyway.." Says Taylor, attempting to change the subject. "What did you do over the summer?"
"Oh, I didn't have time to do a lot" I say "I was too busy moving"
"That must have sucked" said Veronica.
"I did't really mind" I say.
"I just had a brilliant idea!" Emily squealed with excitement. "We should have a sleepover!!"
"That sounds fun" I say "I have never been to a sleepover before!"
"Really?" They ask.
"Yea. I never really had friends before now."
"Well now you have us" said Emily.

We left the lunchroom and I went to the bathroom. I went to throw up my lunch. When I walked out of the stall, Emily was there. She was just staring at me.
"I.. I can explain" I stuttered.
She didn't say anything.
"Please say something" I whined. I just made a friend and my anorexia is ruining it. I really need to start eating again. I'm so scared.
"Why?" She asks forcefully.
"It's a long story." I say quietly. Avoiding eye contact.
She crosses her arms and sighs. "I have time"

I told her everything. Starting with the very beginning. I told her how I was bullied and how we moved then about my mom dying. When I finished she didn't say anything.She just hugged me, and we both started crying. I promised her I was going to try and eat again. We went off to our next class together. And everything was okay again.
Our next class was study hall. We walked in and found a seat near the back of the class. Me and Emily started talking about the sleepover. And out of the corner of my eye I saw Adam. He was sitting at the desk in front of me and he was just staring at me.
"Hi, I'm Adam" he said when I turned toward him. He had the brightest blue eyes, they were like an ocean.
"Hey" I replied trying not to sound eager.
"You're Brittany right?" He asked.
I was surprised. I only introduced myself to Emily and her friends. No one else. "Yea" I said wryly "how did you know?"
He smirked. "People have been talking about the new hot blonde, I figured it must be you"
"Um.. Thanks" I blushed, but soon remembered what Shelby said at lunch. He's probably just talking to me to get in my pants. He probably doesn't even think I'm pretty. I tried to push the thoughts out of my head, but one remained.
He's a player.
