UN-popular

Unpopular rule 3-4

Unpopular rule three: never sit at the same table everyday
Unpopular rule four: don't blush

Lizzy and I walk into the cafeteria I'm looking for a table we haven't sat at in a long time when I see this completely empty table. We walk toward it placing our food down. Liz got a salad while I got some fries. We sit there munching. I tell her about getting hooked on the handle in maths and she laughs at me and shakes her head " only you Kara only you could somehow hook your back pack on a door handle"
I smile shyly and laugh because she's right I trip walking on flat ground yet somehow I'm an athlete. I was the starting point guard for four years till the accident happened and now I can't shoot or dribble or pass without flashing back.
Lost in my thoughts suddenly the table we are at is full of boys. Looks like the football team. The boy next to me is tall and muscular with brown eyes and hair to match. He faces me and introduces himself as Thomas and asks my name
I give it to him I also state my nickname
His friend
With short black hair and blue eyes complements my name. I can feel the heat in my cheeks rising
Then he asked if I'm new and I have to laugh and smile
"no I'm not new I've been going to this school since grade 10 and I went to your guys middle school before that."
I take another bite of my fries hoping they'll stop trying to talk to me sadly they continue to pester me only this time Thomas does it with compliments
"No there's no way we've been going to school together for that long I would have noticed a pretty girl like you" I blush slightly and start to panic because blushing in tails showing interest and that draws attention my breathing gets shallower
The boy across from Lizzy starts to pitch in he's tall with blond shaggy hair and has a crooked grin. He doesn't pick up on my discomfort. "yah I'm sure we all would have noticed if someone as beautiful as you went to school with us, right boys" he laughs
As everyone at the table nods except the boy next to Lizzy the one from maths. My face is now completely red and I've reached full panic. I stand up abruptly and rapid fire my goodbye
"Ummihavetogo!" I say and run out of the cafeteria.
I break for the library the only place I find peace. I go to the back of the library and wait for Lizzy to come she usually does but I don't want her to come today. I wait 5 minutes and she still hasn't come I let out a sigh of relief and start walking down the rows of books reading the spines as I run my had along them. This is my happy place surrounded by books a new world to discover in each one a new adventure to have all rapped in a perfect little cover. I start pulling the books that catch my eye I'm so zoned into the books that I don't realize someone's sitting in the floor in the isle. Me being myself trip over their legs and land face first across their legs my butt in the air. I groan in pain and the guy chuckles.
"If you wanted me that badly you could have just said so" I crawl off of him and look him in the eyes I'm startled to see it's the boy from maths. I must have been staring because he smirks "like what you see? A picture will last longer." With that my face reflames and I pull my hair in front of my face. I go to grab the books I've dropped but he starts to pick them up as well he pauses on a certain book
I look at the cover and he's holding "Romeo and Juliet"
He looks at me like I'm crazy
"You know we read this for English this year right you should just wait."
I look up at him and whisper "I've read it four times now"
His eyes become wide then it shifts his eyes shine brighter
"Why?" He asks tilting his head
Stuttering "I-I umm"
I grab the book from his hands and move to the desk to check them out. I can hear him follow me.
