Everything

Lunch

November's P.O.V

After the disaster that was the first period, I then went on to my second period class which was science. 

Thankfully it was uneventful and nothing happened apart from me yet again being late because I could not find the class. 

Will I ever be on time?

I couldn't help but think back to the first period and how the giant wouldn't stop staring at me. Like he was fully turning around in his seat to look back at me. I mean I know I don't have the prettiest face and all but he didn't need to stare for the whole hour.

I hope I don't have another class with him

As I was talking to myself in my head, I heard the bell finally go off and my stomach was doing backflips as it was ready to eat some lunch.  

I quickly grab all my things and rush out of the classroom faster than I could blink. 

Freedom at last. 

Oh boy was I wrong. 

I could suddenly feel the giant behind me, following where I was going. Why would he follow me? Just this morning he called me a weirdo for accidentally bumping into him.

So I did the only rational thing. 

I ran. 

Well as fast as I could run anyway, the beating this morning didn't help me at that moment.

I sprinted for the girl's bathroom and quickly turned around to see that he was no longer following me. 

Once I settled down in the bathroom, I slightly opened the door to see the giant walk inside a huge room, which I am guessing is the lunchroom.

I shuffled back into the bathroom and sat on the floor. 

As I shuffle my back against the wall of the toilets, I know how weird am I, I saw a girl walk in 

She suddenly speaks and says, "You're new, aren't you?"

I quietly responded "Yes, my name is November"

She gave me a big smile and said, "My name is Ariana and I can already tell that we are going to get along"

Wow, that was unexpected

Who knew you could make a friend by sitting on the floor of the girl's toilets. 

I should do this more often if it is that easy

I questioned her and said "What? How do you know that?"

She blatantly ignored my question and said "Come on girl, let's get you off the floor and come with me" "I can introduce you to some of my friend's in the lunchroom"

What is happening right now

Not only have I possibly made one friend, but I know could be friends with a whole group?

Do I even want to be friends with a whole group?

I immediately feel anxious about this all but for some reason, I say "Oh ok, that'd be nice"

What was I thinking?

I guess we will see how this plays out

As I am racing through every possible scenario that could happen when I meet this group, Ariana leads me to the lunchroom

We walk up to a table that 2 girls are currently sitting at and I can't help but notice how sweaty my palms are getting from all my nerves. 

Ariana and I sit down at the table and as I sit down, the 2 girls both look at me and smile at me

Maybe this won't be so bad

Ariana introduced me to them and I learnt their names. 

There was Alice, who had long blonde wavy hair with bright blue eyes 

She looked stunning 

Then there was Hayley, who had long bright orange hair and the deepest blue eyes. 

They were both incredibly pretty and I could not help but feel self-conscious about myself and how I looked. 

As the girls started to talk about their plans for the weekend, they decided that they wanted to go shopping and buy some new clothes 

They invited me to go as well, but I am not sure if my dad would allow me to go. 

I could try and sneak out, but if he finds out I'm gone I will just be going home to a beating. Just the thought of it made me incredibly anxious as I am still recovering from this morning's beating

I cannot risk another one.

While I was lost in thought, the giant from earlier must have walked back into the lunchroom, but this time there were 2 boys beside him. 

All the boys were about the same height, but the giant was just that little bit taller than the others, even his build was better.

I really should stop calling him the giant but that would mean that I would have to learn his name

I'd rather not

So, the giant it is

As he was walking, I could not help but notice how his biceps looked in the black shirt he was wearing and how strong his jawline was

Wow

I have only been here a few hours and I'm already checking out a boy

Great job November

The giant keeps moving his head around, looking for someone 

I'd hate to be that person 

Well shit

All of a sudden, his eyes land on me

Me!

Off all people 

I quickly divert my eyes to look at the floor, just like my father taught me

Men shouldn't have to deal with my face and looking me in the eyes, so every time someone does, I put my head down so they do not see

My father would be pleased

It's become a force of habit for me

Thank you for reading the chapter, I hope you enjoyed it!
