Perks of Being Losers

Chapter 1: Code Red

I plopped my brown bag next to my usual seat next to Addy and Cam.

"Dude he's like so hot!" Addy said. I looked over to Joey to see him looking off into the distance like he usually does in these types of conversations.

"Who?" Everyone's eyes snapped over to me as I bit into my sandwich.

"You know, only the new guy!" Yelled Mia, so loud Russians could hear.

"Shhhh," whispered Cam, slapping Mia's pointing hand down. "He could have heard."

Mia grabbed her finger and started to rub it while whining, "Oww you know I'm sensitive!"

Jay snickered and Mia glared, "Not everything is dirty, Cedric!" He glared back at her, at the mention of his middle school name. She stuck a tongue out at him and he followed in her childish ways.

"Stop it you two!" I threw a peice of bread at Mia and cleaned my hands on my jeans. "Now who is this hot guy?"

Holly looked up from her script she was memorizing for her latest production and began to explain, "I don't know they have been babbling about his 'charming looks' and 'smile that could light up a room' all lunch period."

"Hey, Jay? Do you have any idea who this kid is?" I asked. I didn't understand why they wouldn't tell me.

Jay opened his mouth beginning to speak till he got cut off, "dude he was so beautiful! You have to see it for yourself! You'll understand when it happens."

"Oh are you guys talking about the new kid, N-" Skye begins to explain till she gets hit in the back of the head, "What the hell Cam?"

"She needs to see him for herself," Cam says.

I roll my eyes, "you need to tell me! Skye, the lack of knowledge is killing me! You have to tell me!"

"Oh no! Guys, she's gonna break! Get her into a classroom before she explodes with all the secrets!" Addy yells. Cam begins to pick her up by the armpits and Mia goes for the legs, while Addy trudges behind! "GO! GO!" Addy yells while the two carrying the failed body of Skye pick up speed.

I really don't know how they are holding her when she is a height of 5'10. I look around the cafeteria to see everyone judging us with their eyes, and I glance back at Jay hiding his head but with a small smile escaping his lips.

"Nothing to see here! Go back to eating food, or not," I yell, eyeing the table of skinny chicks just sitting there with some water bottles and celery.

I collapse myself on the seat and look back to the remaining of us, Jay, H, and Caleb? When did he get here?

"Hey Caleb," I lazily greet him.

He looked up at me from deeply staring into Holly's eyes, like a creep. "Hey Vi."

Caleb was H's boyfriend, they were that married couple because he was so whipped. They have been together since freshman year. Caleb was also perfect, considering he was student council president and guaranteed future prom king.

"When did you even get here?" I asked him while picking at my carrots.

"Somewhere between Skye's breakdown and your yelling," That's not very specific these actions usually happen on a daily basis.

Joey cuts in, "dude, that's not very specific," he says as if reading my mind. I look at him and start laughing and he joins in with me.

Caleb puts and arm around H and whispers, but not to quietly "I will never get used to them."

Holly, smiles and looks up from her script, "me neither."

"Babe, I need to go to a meeting. Pick you up after school?" Caleb grabs his things to get going and looks back at H to recieve the answer.
