Halfway through the day,no one bothered me at all. People stared but that was it. At lunch I went to sit next to Lexington and pulled out the sandwich I normally had. Lexington looked at it and frowned. I asked "What?" He said "That's what your going to eat?" I looked at my sandwich then back to Lexington's disgusted face and said "Yeah. I always do. Is there a problem with it?" He said "Yes! That's not nothing. You seriously need to eat real food." I said "Like what? What could possibly be better than a nutella sandwich?" He smirks and says "This." He pulls out a takeout bag from the Chinese restaurant. He placed the different containers on the table and passed me a pair of chop sticks. I sat there not knowing what to do. Lexington opened one of the containers and passed it to me. I attempted to use the chopsticks to get some noodles but only to fail at the task. Lexington started to laugh at my fail and passed me a fork. I blushed and accepted. I started to eat with the fork while Lexington watches me. I swallow the noodles and say "what? Do I have something on my face?" He smiles and says "No. Your just really beautiful. You intrigue me." I blush and look down. "Thanks" I say. He says "Its true. And your welcome." He starts eating and so do I. The bell rings and we get up. We gather the trash and throw it in the bin. We have our next class together so we walk together. On our way there, we see Jeremy. He sees us and gives me a look of hatred. He looks to Lexington and says "Hey man. You hanging with trash now. What about us. Your real friends. We not matter anymore." Lexington says "Watch what you say man. She's not trash and she is a real friend. More true than you and everyone else. Now back off." Lexington grabs my hand and we start to walk away but Jeremy puts his hand on Lexington's shoulder and holds him there. He says "After you realize all that slut wants is attention, you know where to find me." Lexington clenches his fist and shoves past Jeremy and walks us to class. I feel a tear slip down my cheek because of Jeremy's harsh words. I stop walking and pull Lexington to a halt next to me. He sees the tear and wipes it away. "Hey. What's the matter?" I shake my head but he pushes on. "Is it about what Jeremy said?" I nod my head as more tears slip down my cheek. Lexington places his hand under my chin and lifts my head to look at him. "Listen to me. Not him. You are not like that. Jeremy hates not getting his way. And he got his way with hanging out with me. He used me for his popularity. I am the quarterback. He was just a regular player. Nothing special. He wanted to be popular. He used me." I smiled and said "so he's the slut. Using people." He laughed and said "Yeah. I guess you can say that." We both burst out laughing until we couldn't breath. The tardy bell rang and Lexington said "You wanna ditch the rest of the day? Go do something fun?" I thought about it. After what just happened I could use some time off. I said "Sure. Where will we go?" He shrugged and said "Wherever the day takes us." He grabbed my hand and we walked out to his car.
