I looked up to see who it was who asked to sit down at our table. I was expecting it to be one of the new boys, Adam, Lucas, or Jordan. But no I was wrong, it was only Damien, my best friend Kently's boyfriend. I rolled my eyes and went back to eating my lunch. Kently got up and pulled him up a chair.
It wasn't that I didn't like Damien, it was just that I didn't know him. I am one of those people that don't want their friends being hurt. I mean yeah no one wants their friends to be hurt, mentally or fiscally, but I'm also one of those people that if their friends do get hurt the person who made them hurt will get it a lot worse. So when it comes to new people I don't trust very easily.
"So have you seen the new kids yet?" Damien asked taking a bite of his pizza.
"Well I haven't talked to them but ALINA has," Christa said adding a taunting tone to my name when she said it.
I looked up at her irritated by the way she said it. When she saw me she smiled and started to laugh. "So what do u think of them Alina?" Damien asked me putting his arm around Kently which made her smile and blush.
I was about to answer him when someone else broke in "Yeah, what DO you think of them?" I looked up and saw Lucas standing right behind me smiling.
I shot Damien and Christa a look wondering if they knew he was right there. I didn't know what to say knowing that he was right there, so I answered with the most plain answer possible. "They seem nice."
I got up pulling up a chair, for Lucas, then noticing that his brother, Jordan, was there to. I hadn't yet talked to him but somehow liked him already. His eyes were kind. When I looked at him though he shyed away, he wouldn't make eye contact with me. For some reason this made him feel innocent. When lunch was half way done I was kind of disappointed that Adam hadn't shown up. I looked around the lunch room for him but didn't see him.
"So Alina what class do you have after lunch?" Lucas said smiling at me rather subjectively.
I smiled back at him and answered "Art,"
"Oh that's to bad I have shop," he said giving an over dramatic pouting face "but my quiet brother here has art as well," he gestured toward Jordan. I looked over at him and his head ,that was down, shot strait up with surprise in his eyes.
"Oh, that's cool maybe we can sit together," I said smiling at him, but all he did was put his head back down.
"He's not really a talker, draws like Picoso, but sounds like a field mouse,"
At this everyone laughed but me. I didn't think it was all that funny, Jordan didn't think was funny by the look on his face.
When lunch was over Christa and I started off toward the art room. Out of the corner of my eye though I caught Jordan at his locker. I told Christa to go on ahead of me, she looked around and saw Jordan. She gave me a look that said 'I know what your thinking' and walked off. I walked over to Jordan and leaned on the locker next to his. I must have been only a foot away and he didn't even notice me.
I gave a fake cough and he nearly jumped out of his skin it looked like. I smiled at him and he closed his locker nit making eye contact with me. He turned on his heal and walked off behind me. I hurried up and followed him.
"So you like to draw huh?,"
He didn't say anything.
"What do you like to draw? Animals? Flowers? People? ...Dead people?"
At my last suggestion he gave me a look that said ARE YOU INSANE!
I smiled at him again to show him that I was just kidding, but of course he just looked down and walked faster. I stopped dead in my tracks, what was I doing wrong here. I was being nice and funny but he won't even look at me. I know I'm not the prettiest girl in the world but come on, you can at least look at me! I gave my head a shake and pushed the thought out of my mind. Was trying to be his friend like illegal or something.
When I got to art everyone was lined up by the far wall. I didn't know what was going on, but decided to go stand by Christa. "What exactly are we doing?" I asked her giving her a confused look while I spoke. She gave me a look and shrugged. At this I smiled, I had known Christs for almost nine years and she seemed to never know what was going on anywhere.
I turned my head toward the front of our class room to see our teacher Mr.Redwood. He was my favorite teacher I've had in a while. He was nice and a really good teacher, he also let me get away with almost anything. I remembered a time last year when this really creepy kid,name Russell, had made a comment about my mom and I yelled right in his face, taking a chair out from under his nasty smelling feet, and told him that if he ever said something about my mom again I was going to shove that chair in his nether regions. Christa said I went to far but apparently Mr.Redwood either didn't notice or thought what i said was perfectly reasonable. After I thought about it I guess I might have went a little to far seeing as how the kid transferred out two days later.
After the late bell rang, about two minutes later, Mr.Redwood shut the door and turned to face us all. He smiled then spoke "Its very nice to see so many of your familiar faces here to day...," he looked around and quickly saw Jordan so he added "and new faces as well."
When he was done doing role call Christa sat next to me in the center of the classroom and to my surprise Jordan sat on the other side of me. I looked over at Christa to see if she had seen and she had. The way I could tell was because her eyes were wide and her jaw was dropped. At this I giggled. When everyone was seated Mr.Redwood gave us the assignment. He told us to draw our favorite actor, animal, or cartoon. I of course chose to draw a picture of a tiger but when I looked at Christa she looked like she was going to cry. I knew exactly what she was thing to 'what do I draw?!'. This was a common problem for her. This year, last year, and ever since I've known her. When class was over Christa had nearly cried. When we left Christa went to gym and I went to my locker to get my English book. To my surprise Lucas was there waiting for me.
"Can I help you with something young man?," I asked giving him a smile.
"Well I asked your friend Kently and she informed me that you had English next, and so do I."
I gave him a looking thinking to myself 'man this kid works fast' "and you want to walk there together?" I asked him clarifying what he me.
He nodded his head. I quickly got my book and we walked to class. On the way we stayed quite until I couldn't anymore. "Um...sorry about how this might sound but...why wont your brother talk to me?"
At this I thought he would frown at the least but instead he laughed. "So the teachers aren't telling people should of known. Well if I tell you, you can't tell anyone okay?" I nodded my head, he sighed "Well you see...
