Dazed in Love, Much?

1: Applesauce and New Friendships

The bell rang as I scurried to stuff my things into my bag and run to my locker. Ah lunch! The time where I'm not social and don't have to be! I stuff my things into my locker and slam it.

Everyone in the hallway pauses to stare. I look in the same direction. A 6'2 brunette boy walks in one strap of his backpack in trying to look casual. As if he has been here for the 3 1/2 torturous years that I have. He has this serious look on his face, that I guess most people consider 'hot'. I consider it stupid. He walks up to Felicity,

"Hey could you point me in the direction of the office?" He casually says. A few girls drop on the ground as I rise an eyebrow at them. Felicity points to the right, speechless. I don't get that. Everyone says love messed with your mind and you can't think straight. I don't get how you could be so dazed into a trance from being in love with someone you haven't even met.

The new guy scans the crowd not looking very surprised everyone's in love with him. Even Joey looks at him in awe. He looks around then, his eyes land on me. He raises an eyebrow then shakes his head and continues to the office.

"OMG DID YOU SEE HE HIM HE TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH ME!" Britney shouts at her friends. Sometimes I wish she wasn't so slutty. I mean, it's really annoying. We get it. Your the world's greatest wide receiver, no need to brag about it. Ooh that's good I might use that actually.

"NO HE LOVES ME HE WALKED UP TO ME!" Felicity yelled at her. I walked into the cafeteria before the bitch fight started.

I stepped into the lunch line and quickly got my food and sat at my table. I love eating alone. It sounds weird, but you have time to do homework, think, and actually eat. At least no one tries to sit with me after the incident of freshman year. Oh how I loved pouring the applesauce all over Masen's head! He sat next to me then proceeded to to hit on me. At least my parents can't do anything about it from the grave. And my Aunt Briana won't do anything about it, she basically lets me do whatever.

I begin to unwrap my cheeseburger and eat it doing some algebra for extra credit. Okay so x=9, 2x - 13=- I swear they give us the easiest things- 2x - 13 =

There's slight movement in the table while the cafeteria goes silent.

"Hey Celeste right?" He questions all friendly. I put my work to the side and my burger down.

"Yeah. And you are...?" I said calmly. Everyone was intensely staring, anticipating what's to come. Eh it's his first day.

"Eli, Eli Zen nice to meet you." He held out his hand.

"Celeste Grace" I took my hand and shook his.

"This may seem a little late, but could I sit here? You actually seem like a normal human being." He laughed-damn that laugh... It's like a chorus of angels "Everyone else is either in love with me or jealous." He explained.

"Sure, I don't blame you. They're pretty weird." I smiled back, a few muted gasps interupted the silence. It's been awhile since I genuinely smiled. The last time I smiled is before when Dexter-no the therapist said no thinking about it. I took a deep breath and continued to eat my burger. After I finished that bite I put my burger down.

"Hey Eli could I ask you for a favor? Sorry its so soon." I smiled

"Yeah sure anything what is it?" He asked

"Could you announce to everyone that they are not allowed to sit here? Last guy that sat here got applesauce to the head by yours truly."

"Sure you savage." He laughed. He quickly stood up and turned to everyone, as they turned quickly turned back to their lunches, acting like they weren't listening. Although they obviously were. They're drama thirsty monsters after all.

"YO EVERYONE!" He shouted. Everyone turned to him " COULD YOU LIKE NOT SIT HERE AT THIS TABLE, THIS IS FOR AWESOME PEOPLE LIKE ME AND CELESTE ONLY. INVITE ONLY BY THE WAY" everyone shrugged trying not to seem super disappointed.

Eli say back down and gave me a smile.

"Thanks" I smiled back. Maybe this one isn't too bad...

I don't know I felt like writing. I normally just come up with/find a cool name and build a story around it.

BUTTTT, whilst reading 'Roommates' by Kimmy Hers ( XthatONEchicX ), I looked in the comments and a reader named Johnson1000 commented 'Dazed in Love Much' would be a good name for a story and then here ya go.

I'm sorry this story sucks. It may or may not get better.

Love,
