Internet Friends: Ferard Kik Story

~

I arrived at school, getting off the bus into the doorway of the cafeteria, down to my locker in the hallway full of them. I opened locker 25, taking off my bag and hanging it up on the hooks inside it. I pulled out my reading and literature books and set them on the top shelf for my first class that started in ten minutes. Before closing the loud and shaky door, I turned on my phone, seeing that it was 7:49 and there was an instagram notification, saying that Gerard had liked one of my photos. I smiled and shoved my phone in my front pocket turning it off.

I walked back down to the cafeteria, getting in the long line of teenagers for breakfast, making sure not to make eye contact or say a word. I grabbed a fork from the small counter by the kitchen door, telling the old cooks what I wanted, having it being thrown onto the tray sloppily. I took it, passing right by the secretary that should look at my food so she could write it down, for whatever reason.

I sat my tray down on the table I usually sit at with these guys named Bob and Ray. I had sat with them since I started high school, but never had any classes with them. We only ever talked if Bob was in a good mood, which was like finding a dinosaur in your front yard. So we were, I guess, friends.

I ate my poorly made biscuits and gravy quietly, only glancing at both of them once or twice.

"You gonna drink that?" Bob asked pointing to my juice cup. I shook my head, sliding it across the table over to him. He gladly took it, opening up the foil covering the top and chugged it down.

I finished my food, getting up from the table and waving at Ray and Bob, them nodding and I dumped my tray. I strode over to my locker, opening it and putting my upcoming class's books on top of the locker where most of the other kids' things were. I closed the door, leaning on it and pulling my phone out again for no reason, waiting for the bell to ring.

And of course, it didn't until the jocks came up to me.
