"Okay now, I want you to follow me, never leave me during the breakfast. Do not look around, do not listen to other conversations and do not, under any circumstances, offend someone in here because trust me, you don't want to owe anything to those people." Becky explains while we slowly enter the cafeteria. It's full of teenagers, mostly seventeen, like me, or even older.
Rebecca is walking towards the counter where the lunch lady is. We wait in the line for a few seconds until it's our turn to get food. Everyone in the line is about my age or older, but they don't look like normal teenagers with all the gossiping and worrying about their grades. No, they are all dressed in mostly black, boys are covered in tattoos, some girls as well. I can't seem to find a girl without too much make-up and slutty 'dangerous' clothes. I guess my roommate is a blessing.
"The usual, Becky?" Lunch lady asks with a smile.
"Ya know it!" Becky returns a kind smile.
"And who would this beautiful young lady be?" The lunch lady asks, grinning at me and I just smile awkwardly.
"I'm Scarlett."
"Oh you must be new here sweetie! Here what would you rather eat? We have some pasta, meat balls, vegan burger, donuts..."
"Uh, I'll take anything really, thank you." Wow this lady is so nice, I really like her. She hands me a cupcake and the orange juice. Becky gets a plate full of spaghetti.
"So as I was saying, just follow my lead, we have our special table right there." Becky reminds me.
And I do follow her, keeping my voice down and trying to fit in, although it's kind of impossible here. I walk slowly between tables and teenagers. We passed first two tables and students didn't seem to notice me, or they just didn't care. So far so good.
Next table is filled with those slutty girls, just like the one I saw yesterday in principal's office. Oh and that guy... God I hope he regrets all of it!
The girls give us a few death glares, but nothing I can't handle. I'd seriously think they are jealous if I wasn't wearing the oversized black hoodie with little white weed sign on it and grey leggins. Seriously not hot! But why would I care anyway huh?
"Watch where you're going!" A red haired girl yells at me, although I didn't really do anything wrong, I barely even touched her and it wasn't on purpose.
When I look closer I realize she is the member of the slutty 'please fuck me' group. Girl you're making it just too obvious with those clothes. I mean don't they ever get cold or something? It's almost winter idiots!
"Chill out babe!" The guy standing behind her says with a smirk, walking away with his angry girlfriend and winking at me, grabbing her butt at the same time.
Ugh!
"You okay?" Becky asks turning her head to face me, still walking.
"Yeah."
So we continue walking until Becky spots the table she was looking for. She immediately grins pulling me to the place where her friends are sitting.
"Yo Becks!" one of the guys says with that 'I'm cool chill wahatevaa bitchh' face. The guy is actually pretty hot and even if I don't really like piercings, he can pull off the eyebrow piercing madly good. From what I've seen in those two seconds I can tell that he is your typical fuck boy.
"Hey Aiden!" Rebecca greets him back, smiling.
Oh, so THAT'S Aiden! Bruh why are criminals even hot? MAKES NO SENSE!
"Oh hey Becky." Two guys say at the same time, laughing after it.
"Hey guys! Oh my God I forgot to introduce you! This is my new roommate Scarlett!" I blush, giving them a little awkward wave. A WAVE SCARLETT? SERIOUSLY? "She's cool, so you better be nice!" Becky threatens, and Aiden raises hands in fake surrender.
