Chapter 5

"Hey" I greeted my best friend as I sat down in the chair across of her, "Did you get scold by your teacher in the first period?"

"Yes, I even got detention for talking back and it's all your fault for starting that stupid pillow fight last night. Stupid lack of sleep"

"What lack of sleep? Thought too much about me last night Brenda?" Carter asked and slumped down in the chair next to me.

My head snapped to him and I'm pretty sure I gave him the 'What-the-hell-are-you-doing-here' look.

No, seriously, what the hell was he doing here? He should be sitting by the 'cool' kids's table.

He shrugged, offering his hands to Stella as he introduced himself, "Hey, I'm Carter Underwood. Brenda's awesome neighbor. From now on, I'll be sitting here with you guys."

"You what?!" I asked wide-eyed, slapping his hand away.

"You what?!" Stella repeated, "Wait. Is this the Conner guy?"

"Carter" I corrected.

"He's cute... and hot." I glared at her, "Right. I'm Brenda's best friend, Stella. Not nice to meet you."

"Thanks beautiful." Carter chuckled and winked at her. He has the nerve to flirt with my best friend. The fuck is wrong with this child? I think he's mentally ill.

Stella stared blankly at him and cleared her throat as she blinked twice. "Why are you even here?"

"To eat."

"Have you ever experienced a black eye before?" She threatened, holding her fist up. Carter put his hands up and leaned back a little bit.

"Stop that." I rolled my eyes as I gesture her to stop. I know she can fight because she used to get karate lessons. I don't mind if she beat him up, but I just don't want her to cause a whole scene here and get more than a detention.

"Don't stop me from something I'm determined to do. He used to treat you with derision." She reasoned, "And by the way, why would you do that?" She asked angrily, facing Carter.

"I never did. I just used to take her food."

"And why?" She yelled loudly. Some people in the cafeteria turned their heads toward us. They had their eyes intensely fixed on Carter as they were giggling and whispering about how 'sexy' and 'cute' he is.

Nonetheless I wanted to stop Stella from causing a scene right now, I really wanted to know the reason. Was it because I was so easy to pick on or was it because of my feature?

Or was it something else?

"Sorry, but I had my reasons." Carter looked at me and gave me a smile that didn't quite reach his ears. I sighed inwardly. Obviously, he's not going to tell me.

"Tell me why!" She yelled dramatically.

"Stella. You don't want to get more than a detention, do you? Chill out." I said, looking at her.

She looked around slowly and burst in laughter. "Ermahgerd, Did you see that? Look at their faces! 'Making a dramatic scene in the cafeteria' is now completed on my to-do-list. Yay!" She squealed loudly in excitement as she was fist pumping the air repeatedly.

I quickly covered her mouth with my hand to shut her up.

She slapped my hands away and pointed accusingly at me. "You're smothering me Brendy," She said before pinching my nose. "I'm going to celebrate, so I'm going to buy some delicious McDonald for myself right now." She got up and walked away, swinging her hips back and forth.
