Running From Me

Lunch Room Conversations & Interrogations

      After second and third period, Charmy couldn't stop thinking about Anderson. She was curious about the place that Anderson had shown her pictures of on the bus this morning. Luckily, Anderson was passing by her in the hallway, on his  way  to the lunchroom. She walks next to him, trying to match his quick pace, it was hard for her to catch up, with her short legs. She nudges him and gives him a smile as she shyly gives him a "Hey." 

    Anderson looks down when he hears Charmy's voice, "Oh hey, Where are you going?" He asks her. It was a few minutes before fourth period and he didn't know that he had lunch with her.  He also know that being the new kid at school, it was going to be hard to find a good seat in the lunch room, many forms of groups had already claimed seats for the year. "I'm on my way to lunch. Do you want to sit with me and my friend? She's really nice once you get to know her." Charmy asks him as they enter the cafeteria. Anderson smiles at her,  his blueish greenish hair falling in front of his face as he nods, "Yes, if that isn't a bother for you and your friend." He says walking to a lunch line with her. 

     Charmy takes him to a table that was beside the windows, where a girl dressed in a black shirt, jeans, black and faded pink shoes sat. "Hello Raven! This is Anderson, he's new and I invited him to sit with us." Charmy was taking a seat, when Raven didn't answer her Charmy taps her on the shoulder. Raven then pauses her video, looking sort of annoyed at having to pause she takes out her headphone out. "Did you say something Charmy?" Raven asks looking at Anderson. "This is Anderson, he's new and I invited him to eat lunch with us." Charmy informs her. 

     "Is your hair naturally that color? Where did you come from?" were Raven's only two questions for Anderson, who was in the middle of trying the school food. After swallowing the bland mashed potatoes Anderson coughs, "I moved here from Florida, and yes my hair is this color." Anderson smiles at Raven and got a suspicious glare from Raven. Charmy was taking only small spoonfuls of her lunch while reading a book, too busy to notice the awkward tension coming from Raven and Anderson's conversation.
