Cross My Heart I'm Dead

Chapter 36

-----At Lunch-----

"Hey, come sit with me and my friends! Don't worry, they might seem crazy to start with but I promise they're nice," Otilia said to me as we packed up our things. Friends? At a school? I never really had friends at school. Maybe a friend, as in singular, but that was it. I guess I could give it a try right?

"Uh, sure!" I smiled at her and we made our way to the field where a bunch of teens sat. They seemed nice I guess. 

"Hey dimwits, this is Astrid. Astrid, these are the dimwits," Otilia introduced us. Some guy pouted and threw grass at her.

"We aren't dimwits," He said without even looking at us. He had semi-long (for a guy) black hair and was playing on his phone. Flappy Bird I believe.

"No, we aren't, you're the dimwit. Now I say we go sign out and have lunch at McDonald's, sound good?" A girl said and everyone nodded. She had long brownish blondish hair and blue eyes. "Oh and I'm Taylor, that dimwit is River-" she pointed to the guy who through the grass, hmm I would of expected some kinda tough guy gang name -"shorty is Rick-" she nodded over to some 4 ft guy who was reading a book.

"I'm not that short bitch," He replied and threw his book at her. "Nice to meet you Astrid," he said to me with a smile. Brown hair, short, and glasses. I guess he could be the guy version of me with different hair. Psst, I meant to say we're both nerds.

"Um, hi," I spoke quietly. Wait, a shy person can have friends but would they be shy with their friends? Wait they aren't even my friends yet. They seem fun but not criminal fun. Hmm I guess that's probably a good thing.

"Hey! Don't leave us out! I'm Andy and this is my sister Nina. We're twins but I'm older," Another guy stood up. Short black hair and tall compared to Rick. His sister stood up as well. She has long black hair but was around, I don't know 5ft? 

"Hey, Astrid. Oh and I'd listen to Otilia, these guys are all dimwits. Taylor is the mean serious one-"

"Watch it Nina!"

"See what I mean by she's mean? Meh, oh and Rick is the bookworm, Otilia is the nice one-"

"Hell no! She's evil! Like, pure Satan evil!" Andy interrupted her this time. Huh, guess not everyone is on board with what she says. But I definitely see it, Taylor being serious, Rick was reading and Otilia seems nice but evil with pranks.

"Let me finish Andy! I'm the skilled one and River is the, how do I put this? The nice guy with the 'I don't give a fuck about anyone' attitude." Wait what? How's that nice? Oh. I get it, I think? Ugh, whatever.

"Okay. Enough time wasting I'm hungry!" Otilia wailed and we all made our way to the school reception to sign out. Oh yeah, sixformers can sign out. Why the hell did I skip if I could do that? Wait, could we even do that at our school? "Oh, btw, Xander said he'd meet us there." Everyone nodded and River grinned.

"Finally, I haven't seen that fucker is ages!" 

****At Subway****

"Hmph, this is no way near as good as Mcdonald's!" Taylor whined for like the hundredth time. When we got to the shopping centre, the majority of us decided against Mcdonald's as there was a huge queue and there was no one at Subway. I don't really care too much for fastfood so I just didn't say anything and only ordered a coke and some fries. These people were pretty cool I guess, slightly weird though. Great, I'm already in the weirdo group. 

"Hey bitches!" I looked up to see Xander sit down next to River and I smiled. He met my eyes and looked at me for a few minutes before turning to talk to River. Weirdo. I went back to sipping on my coke and listening in on their conversations.

"So, what are the plans for after school?" Taylor asked. Is she the one in charge 'round here? 'Cause she's the only one who seems to ask the questions.

"Well, I'm going back home to watch over Mason. Why don't you all come over? I mean, Xander, Astrid and I already live there so it's kinda easy," Otilia answered her.

"Wait, you're adopted too?" Andy asked me and I only nodded.

"Why don't you talk much?" Taylor asked me and I shrugged.

"Not much to say."
