GAZE- Jarchie

7- The cafeteria

Monday 11:53am

Before break ends, I go to my locker and take out the books I need for my next lesson. As I open my locker my books all fall out. I fucking hate this locker it's so small and shit. I try picking up the books on the floor while holding a huge book. Typically I fail causing me to drop all the books again. I pick the books up off the floor again with the help of my foot and force them into my shit locker. All the pages get completely folded and messed up as I force them in. As I try closing the locker door, it opens up once again and won't shut. Fucking hell. "Hi" I hear Josie's cheerful voice. "Can you hold this?" I ask in a pissed off tone, handing her the book in my hand. Not even looking at her. She takes the book off me. "I will be sending out invites for the atmosphere party... I wanted to ask you if we could have the party a bit earlier" she starts smiling widely. Shit I completely forgot about the atmosphere party. Ugh why the fuck do I have to host it? "No. I won't be having the party" I really can't be bothered with this shit. She looks at me confused, and slightly angry "why not?" She asks. I feel threatened by her death glare and make an excuse. "I can't because I live with other people and they don't want me having a party" I lie. "But I talked to Kevin and he said it was completely fine" she argues. How the fuck did she contact Kevin? "Of course he said that" I mumble. "But I talked to Jodie and she doesn't want a party" I continue. "Honestly though Archie, what does Jodie want? Jodie doesn't want anything. She's deeply depressed" she says. It is true. Jodie isn't exactly the happiest of all people because of problems with her current boyfriend. She hasn't been home for a while because she's been away sorting out things with him. "You should take responsibility and make her socialise a little. Take responsibility Archie! You're hosting that party. Friday at 6!" She demands aggressively handing my books back and walking away. Well then. I roll my eyes as she walks away. She's can be so fucking annoying sometimes.

As I was about to walk away I see Valerie on the opposite side of the room getting books from her locker. I haven't spoken to her all week. I really need to apologise to her I feel really bad. "Hi" I simply say as I approach her. She looks up and looks at me in disgust sending the biggest death glare. I put my head down and look away. Okay I knew she was mad but not that mad Jesus Christ. "I need advice. There's this really sweet girl in the year below me (referring to Valerie) that I managed to make quite angry. She has a good reason to be because I fucked up. That's why I was wondering, should I go shoot myself?" I say looking at her. She looks up and slightly smiles. "Or maybe, she will forgive me?" I ask smiling back. "It's cool if it will take her 20 years. As long as she forgives me sometime" I continue. She quietly laughs "jerk" she mumbles. "Jerk? I'm a jerk? Fuck then there's 2 sweet girls who think I'm a jerk. Her and you" I say smirking. She sends another death glare and laughs as she turns around. "Oi, did out just try to kill me with that look? Was that your intention?" I question following behind her laughing. We both laugh and walk together to our next lesson. Thank the lord that arguments over.

Wednesday 12:30pm

It was lunch and Moose, Reg and Chuck forced me to go watch this group of girls dance rehearsal as students were allowed to watch. We were sitting in a huge window ledge in the hall as we watched. Most the girls had abs. They were wearing sports bras and leggings. As they dance Moose, Reg and Chuck check them out. They're all biting their lips and smirking. I don't understand. How is it hot? All I see are girls dancing. What the hell are they seeing? I stare at the girls in confusion. I don't understand how they find this attractive.

"Good job" the boy around my age says clapping as they finish. I'm guessing he's in charge of it all. Moose claps extremely loudly too. "We will be picking the six dancers soon. You will get the answers in a week. Thanks" he says smiling. "Shows over, guys" he says turning round to us. Thank fuck for that. "Really good. So good! Wow" Moose says clapping again. He is always so turned on and horny yet he's still a virgin. I don't understand.

I watch the guy as he leaves. He seems gay. The way he acts makes it obvious. "Did he need to be so gay?" I laugh asking Reg. "Huh?" Reg turns to me. "You didn't notice? He was ultra gay" I say. Wait, obviously he didn't notice. He was too busy eye fucking those girls. Reg raises his eyebrows and sarcastically laughs. "What's up with you dissing people who are gay?" He questions. I shuffle my eyebrows. "I didn't diss him. But you could just see it" I say slightly laughing. "Yeah, but you're just pointing out that he's gay. Really great obligation there, Arch" he argues. I look at him in confusion. I don't know why I felt the need to point out he's gay but he didn't need to get so defensive. "What's up with you?-" I start "with me?" He interrupts. "Why are you being so pissed?" I say slightly raising my voice. "Huh? Me?" He asks looking shocked and starts laughing because he was so surprised. "Yes!" I say "You're the one who's fucking grouchy about everything" he argues as his voice also gets louder. "Grouchy?" I ask raising my eyebrows at his comment. I get I don't talk to him as much now but I'm not grouchy what the fuck? "Ever since you made up that lie about Valerie cancelling her party you've been moody as fuck" he says aggressively. "What the fuck are you talking about?" I ask getting extremely irritated. My voice was really loud this time. "Hey" before we could argue anymore I hear that same recognizable male voice. It was Jughead. I haven't seen him in ages. I look up at him in shock. Moose, Reg and Chuck look at him confusingly probably wondering who he is. "You forgot this on Friday" he says throwing the red cap to me. I wore it to his last week. Shit now really isn't the time. I look up at him not sure what to say. My friends are probably extremely confused right now. Jug raises his eyebrows "It's yours?" He says. Moose, Reg and Chuck just look between us both, looking really confused. "Forgot where?" Reg asks looking extremely lost. I look up at Jug and send him a warning look. Now really isn't the time to tell them where I was on Friday. He stares back. "The cafeteria" he says shrugging his shoulders and walking away. He must of realised this isn't the time. He's good at lying.

As he leaves Moose, Chuck and Reg all look at me. "Um who is that dude?" Reg asks looking really curious. "He's just some guy from Josie's atmosphere group" I say shrugging. Which technically isn't a lie as he is from their group. "Oh fuck my dream last night. Fuck!" Moose randomly says completely changing the subject. He always changes the subject. "Josie was in it. You know she was mad about girls hooking up with year elevens and twelves? She punished me with sex because I hooked up with a year eleven" he explains. We all burst out laughing. What the fuck is wrong with him? "Sickest dream I've ever had. So wild" He says smiling. "What did she do?" Chuck questions. "She was the boss. I didn't do anything" Moose says. "Black clothes?" I ask laughing. "Yeah. Whip and everything" I die of laughter. What even is he? "So sick" Moose repeats. "You have a weird imagination" Reg says laughing as well.
