"This is so good" I groan. Teriyaki chicken and rice is so good. This is the life!

"I can make you moan louder than that." A voice behind us said.

"Eww! You nasty man whore." I turned around to face Joshua and the other two. I turned around and felt my face warm up.

"You're lucky I don't kick you where the sun doesn't shine." I take another forkful of my food. Oh God, why can't you make people awesome like this?

"That's cold Lee" Marcus says trying to grab some of my chicken. I slap it away before he grabs any. He holds his hand and pouts like a kid.

"What are you guys doing here?" Bee asks. I nod with agreement. I take another forkful.

"Well, we came to see the boxing match." Andre said. I choked on my food. Did they see that I beat the big guy? I looked around and realized they were staring at me.

"Anyways, we heard that a girl beat the most undefeated boxer in this Mall!" Marcus says jumping up and down. I almost spit out my soda but, I didn't, I didn't want to make a big scene.

"I know who the girl was!" Bee says. OMG! Why? They're going to think I'm a crazy person. "It was Leona." She said with a smile.

All the boys looked at me. They had their mouths wide open.

"Hey! That girls totally cute! You guys should check her out!" I pointed to nothing. The three boys looked at the direction of my finger. I got out my chair and started running. I stopped and ran back for my food, luckily they didn't see me. They were to busy trying to find the girl. They're so gullible.

I was still running. I looked behind me making sure they weren't chasing me. I looked back and bumped into someone. All my food spilled on the floor.

"No my chicken teriyaki!" My shoulders sagged. I pouted and put my hands up. "Why me? Why?!" I wiped a fake tear.

"I'm so sorry! I just, didn't see where I was going." A boy said. It was a familiar voice. I looked at the face and it was the one and only, Caleb. He was wearing a Superman tank top and kahaki shorts with black vans.

"Let's make a deal. Since you bumped into me-" I said pointing to myself. "-you can give me Olive Garden, you know, since you work there." I said waving my hands around.

"S-so, y-you're not g-gonna hurt me?" He asked, nervously. I looked at him.

"I know I do bad things sometimes but, bullying isn't one." I said with disgust. I hate bullies. I never bullied anyone, I stick up for the victims. "So is it a deal, or no deal?" I say with a hand on my hip.

"Deal!" He says with a grin. I noticed he had braces. Geez, I need to learn more about him. That got me thinking.

I mean I had nothing else to do. I just ditched four of my best friends. I have no life... Why not?

"What are you going to do?" I ask Caleb.

"Besides doing homework and read, nothing." He says smoothly. He is a huge nerd. Wow.

"No you're not. You are going with me to the arcade." I said with a smirk. I grab his arm and push him until we get there.

I love going to the arcade. It's so much fun. So many games to play. I hide there whenever I run away from Bee. That's my hideaway place. The arcade was huge! It had so many games there. I love it! I wish I could have one in my house.

"Ooh! They have a new football game!" I scream like a kid. I pull Caleb with me to the employee.

"1000 tokens please." I tell her.

"Okie dokie! That'll be $10.00." She says. I give her a ten dollar bill and wait for the card. She gives me the card and I run towards the game. I slow down and walk backwards.

I trip over a cord and almost fall. Luckily, Caleb caught me on time. He had his arms were wrapped around me and my hand was on his chest. We looked at each other. His chocolate eyes just glowed with a burst of colors from the other games and he looked in my ocean blue eyes.

"What the hell is this?" I looked at the person. It was Joshua with a pained expression. I straightened myself.

"Here's the card. You don't have to pay me back." I didn't even wait for a response. I took off running, hoping to find Josh.

Why did he look so hurt? He never liked me. I liked him since the first time my eyes laid on him. His voice was always so soothing to me. I was always there for him. But, he never liked me, I was always hurt at the end. The day I found out he had a girlfriend killed me but, I never let it show.

I couldn't find him anywhere. I should call him. I checked my pockets. Dang it! Where's my phone? Oh no, I lost it didn't I? This good day just turned into a bad one.

I ran towards the food court where I knew they were still there. I seen all of them, except for Josh. I jogged towards them with confusion.

"What happened with Josh? I was with Caleb and he just left, Looking hurt! What did I do wrong?" I sat down feeling sad. All of them just looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"You really are clueless!" Bee pointed at me. Great,now people are beginning to stare. My face started to warm up from all the attention. Finally they started to sober up.

"Girl, he likes you! That was so obvious!" Andre said gasping for air. I just looked at them with disbelief. Now it was my turn to laugh. They looked at me like I was crazy.

"Oh, you weren't lying?" They all shook their heads. "Well, to bad so sad, I lost my phone so I can't call him." I said forming a line with my lips.

"Olive Garden. Olive Garden. Olive Garden. OLIVE GARDEN!" I said cheering. I was currently walking towards Caleb's locker. Before class started he told me he had it in his locker. He also told me wait for lunch to start.

"Wow. I heard you from the other hallway." Caleb said with a chuckle. I started my happy dance. "I didn't know what you wanted so, I brought you the Chicken Alfredo. You ordered it the night of the football game." He blushes and gave me the plate.

"Awe, you remembered what I ordered." I blush. I stare at my food wide eyed as he gave it to me. "I love you!" I hug him. He tenses up.

What the heck did I just say. Uh, uh,uh. Dang it, how can I nice save this. Why can't I think fast. I pull away.

"I meant the food. That would be crazy if... I said... It to you." I walk away. Nice save Leona! Thanks.

I finally see Josh, I feel like he's avoiding me. "Hey Josh!" I wave at him. He finally spots me and swerves to the opposite direction. Oh no he did just not! He just had to ruin my mood.

I walk to the groups table. I throw myself on the chair and place my food on the table. Andre, Marcus, and Bee flinched. I open the food and start eating.

"Of course he had to ruin my mood." I said through clenched teeth. I kept saying not very nice things about him to myself. They all looked at me like I was crazy. I probably am turning crazy.

"Slow down! I think you're about to explode." I rolled my eyes.

"Thanks for the encouragement, Marcus!" He held his arms up in surrender. I roll my eyes again.

"What's wrong?" Bee says.

Joshua walks by and I watch him. I growl until I don't see him anymore. They look at the passer byre.

"Oh. He swerved you didn't he." I nod my head. All my best friends know I hate people that swerve me. No matter what, Never do that!

"I have a bad feeling about this." Andre says. He looks at Marcus and Bee. You should have a bad feeling.
