The Switch

Chapter Seven

I was walked into a large cafeteria. The walls were white and the tables were grey. My "guards" left. Leaving me alone in the middle of the cafeteria. We were all wearing the same uniform making it difficult for me to spot Harry and Giana. I began walking past tables, looking at each person.
I past a table with one person sitting down and another with a whole group of guys. Everyone was scattered among the room because most of us didn't know each other.
I began to panic when I didn't see Harry or Giana's face around the room. I tried not to look afraid while walking in a room of strangers, but my eyes spoke for themselves as they quickly darted across the room in panic looking for them.
Then I felt a warm hand placed on my arm. I looked down scared as to who it could be; it was Harry. Relief flooded over me as my eyes came to face his green eyes. He saw the expression spread over my face. A smile appeared on his face with dimples present.
"You get scared easily don't you?" He asked with the smile still on his face.
"Well I guess I do." I said sitting next to him.
Giana sat across from me with an empty seat to her left. Both her and Harry had a tray of food in front of them.
"I'm going to go get food." I say getting up.
They both continued in conversation as I left. I walked up the isles I had previously walked before but this time for food.
I walked up to the line for food and leaned down to grab a tray. At that exact moment I leaned up colliding with someone bending down for a tray.
The person cursed. I turned around to see a tall boy with black hair and brown eyes. I thought I was pretty tall for a girl at 5'10 but looking at the 6'3 guy in front of me was pretty intimidating.  By his expression and use of language I could tell he wasn't in the mood for my presence.
"I'm sorry about that." I said trying not to upset the boy.
"Wait your the psychotic girl from the garden aren't you? Go figure." He said with a smirk.
I didn't really know what to say in that moment. I was uptight and flustered, and he could tell by my loss of words.
"What, does my comment upset you psycho?"
"You don't even know what happened!" I managed to say through gritted teeth. My anger started to build inside me, I wasn't in the mood for a fight today. 
"But don't I? You went crazy and screamed like you were dying and got dragged away by two doctors. Sounds a little crazy to me."
"I couldn't control it. Besides it was caused by The Founders anyway with that stupid little pill." I stopped as soon as I said the last part of my sentence. I shouldn't have mentioned it to someone I didn't know. I was going to tell Harry and Giana about what happened because they were the closest friends I had at the moment.
I moved down the lunch line stopping every now and then to receive food from the lunch ladies. We were having meatloaf that was as stiff as a brick with green beans and mashed potatoes. I tried not to look frustrated as I went down the line talking to the lunch ladies. I grabbed my plate after receiving my food and began to walk back to the table. Just when I thought the boy had finally left me alone I felt a figure to my right brush against me. "You're dead to them now, physcho." He turned away with a tray of food in his hands, a smirk was painted on his face as he turned and walked back to his table. I froze in my tracks as the thought made me uneasy. A thought that could very well be true.
I made my way back to the table. The boys words were stuck in my head on repeat. It was like a horror film on repeat. "Your dead to them now, physcho." The word physcho unnerved me.
I sat down at the table looking around to see where the boy had gone. My eyes darted to all corners of the room. I all could see is a sea of grey uniforms.
"Are you alright?" Harry asked placing his hand on my shoulder. His touch frightened me, as I thought it was the boys. He saw the fear in my eyes and he looked concerned. His brows furrowed.
"No. " Then I proceeded to explain the events I've faced in the past two hours. Replaying each moment I hoped to never see again. The expression on Giana and Harry's faces were the same. They intently listened to me.
"Wait so the boy just did this?" Giana asked.
"Yeah.."
"Do you remember what he looked like?"
"Please don't try to find him."
"I won't, but I'm just curious." She said dropping her serious expression for a playful smile.
"Brown hair and eyes and 6'0 tall or taller."
"No no no." She said loosing the smile.
"What is it?"Harry chimed in.
"That's my brother Zander. He has a way with "words". I'll go talk to the prick, that was so uncalled for." Her voice was filled with annoyance. She stood up leaving the table. Leaving Harry and I alone.

Sorry for the wait! School started last Monday and I've been busy ever since with volleyball and academics. I'll post when ever possible, but school has to come first. Also I'll be throwing some familiar faces into this book soon with one already mentioned... Zander. Can you figure it out? Next chapter will be longer!!
