She: A Jacob Perez Novel

Chapter 30

The room was huge and I didn't know anyone. Everyone that I did know didn't have this lunch. Just f*cking great. I walk slowly towards a long food line and wait behind some Japanese chick. She didn't say anything when she saw me. I wonder What's in this line. I'm not hungry. Why am I here?

"Look at the new girl "I heard people whisper. "I heard her mom was poor and had to move in with Nolan's dad "one trick murmurs . Poor? B*tch you got me f*cked up! I was  about to turn around and slap that trick but something stops me. "Stay out of trouble*"Chresanto said.

I sigh and try my best to ignore them. Bunch of snobby white b*tches. Don't let me catch them slippin'! Cos I'll f*ck them all up! Fasho fasho! "does she even have friends? "

"what a lame? "

"She must think she's too good for anyone else " I roll my eyes and brung out my beats. I plug them in and blast my music. Fuck them. I bet everyone was talking now. About me of course. For no reason at all. I wish I could just disappear.

I turn to one of the girls and smile. "You shouldn't always believe the rumors because it leaves you saying stupid shit. And before you call someone else a lame ,bitch you're wearing shoes from the fifties bitch."It scoff.  She eyes me with this knowing look. Her friend was basically gawking.

I push myself out of line ignoring the stares and the whispers and the rumors! Everything! I haven't even been here a whole day and they are talking about me.I hate it here! I hate everything about it. I just want to go home. I wanna go home.

I push open the cafeteria doors, almost running into someone. "Excuse you "she said. I ignore her and kept going. By now tears where pouring from my eyes to cheeks. I hate it here! I just want to go home. Where I belong.

I went to my locker, trying to open it, but failing drastically. This only made me want to cry even more. I kick the locker and slid my back down it until I reach the floor. I brung my knees to my chest and just cried. Cried about everything. I don't care anymore!

"Antoinette? Are you okay? "That accent. I didn't have to look up at all. I knew it was Graham. He found me at my weakest point. Just f*cking great. "Antoinette what happened? "He ask,sounding a bit more concerned. I felt him sit beside me and rub my back.

I finally calm down and got myself together. Wiping the tears away with my hands as I looked over at him. "Why are they talking sh*t when they don't even know me! I just f*cking got here! "I holler and he only looks at me.

"Antoinette, who was talking about you? "He ask. "Some girls at lunch. Well everyone. They're making rumors and sh*t. They don't know me! "I holler again.

"Calm down please, Antoinette. They're  just a bunch of girls talking sh*t to get you mad. They're really  jealous because you're so d*mn beautiful "he said.

I stop and realize who I was talking to. He's so sweet. "Thanks Graham "I said and grab my phone from my purse. I gotta call Jacob. I need to tell him what happened.  Alex and Bee would probably be on their next plane here if they knew.
