Unknown Number

Chapter 2

"M"
I must say, you seem pretty lonely at that lunch table, my love

I looked around the cafeteria, hoping to possibly see someone looking in my direction, but with no luck.

Me
Maybe I wouldn't be so lonely if you came and sat with me?

"M"
Oh, how I wish I could! But not yet dear. Patience ;)

Me
But I don't want to wait!

"M"
You're cute when you're needy. But I'm afraid you're going to have to wait, love. Especially since it appears that you have company

I looked up from my phone to see a group of kids enter the cafeteria. There were 3 boys and 2 girls, and they were walking toward me.

"You're the new kid, right?" The boy looked at me with what could best be described as a look of disgust.

"Uh...y-yeah. My name's-"

"Yeah, whatever. I already know your name." He sat next to me, then motioned for the rest of the kids to sit at the table as well.

"Since you're new, I guess I'll cut you some slack. This is our table. Which means you're going to need to sit somewhere else."

"W-Well, why can't I just stay here for today?"

"Because I said so. Now scram." He didn't need to tell me twice. Asshole.

I had already finished my lunch, so I threw my tray away on my way out of the cafeteria. I turned back to see the kids who kicked me away laughing and having fun.

All except for one.

A kid with black hair and blue eyes.

"M"
Sorry about him. Probably should have warned you

Me
Whoever he is, he seems like an asshole

"M"
He is. His name's Kevin. He shouldn't give you any trouble as long as you stay out of his way

Me
Ok. Well, anyone ELSE I should watch out for?

"M"
Phil Lester

Me
And who's that?

"M"
He hangs around with Kevin a lot. I hear he bullies people just for the heck of it, but I personally think he does it just to keep up his reputation with Kevin

Me
You mean so Kevin doesn't beat him to a pulp?

"M"
Pretty much. I just wish there was a different way

Me
Yeah. Beating people up isn't the way to keep a good reputation

"M"
Yeah, but it's not like the teachers care anyway. People have tried to at least get him suspended, but no one cares enough to actually do it

Me
Yet another reason to hate school

"M"
Oh, and I would find a new place to sit. You know, so Kevin doesn't decide to make you his new favorite toy

Me
Will do, thanks

RING!

Two more lessons, then I was free!
