The Good Girls Gone Bad

chapter 8

I just got out of drama class.

And that sure was drama in there all right.

I just dont understand why he cant be with me. I mean I know I'm being jealous ans selfish but I just can't help it. I never liked someone this much. I look down at my paper. It says 3RD PERIOD: LUNCH.

Ok. Lunch. Wow, why so early? Maybe today there will be a food fight depending on every time there is a new kid. I mean like in movies. They always throw a potatoe or spinach at the new kid. And I might just think that new kid might be me. Now I enter the cafeteria, and there is NOBODY there. Seriously. NOBODY. I must be early. No. I cant be early. I'm the new kid. There has never been a new kid early for class or school or even worse...lunch. I ask one of the janitors why is no body here.

"Umm excuse me...Mr.Janitor...Can you please-"

"The Name is Welm" he interrupted.

"Oh...umm sorry Welm. But can you please tell me..I mean...if you know...why arent any kids here?" I asked.

"Yes, I actually do know why. Its locker break. The kids usually go to their lockers and chat before going to eat. There. Does that answer your question?"

Wow. Cruel.

"Umm yeah, thanks."

Wow no wonder I'm early. I take a seat in one of the empty tables because some of them are being cleaned by some of the lunch ladies. I sit down and pull out my book from my sweater pocket. The pocket on my sweater is big so i can fit anything in it. I get to the part where Sami, the girl, said "Kiss me" to the boy of her dreams and he kissed her for the last goodbyes. Tears start to come to my eyes. I don't know if its the tear of joy that the girl got the BOY of her DREAMS..or is it that this girl has been torn...and literally torn...by this low life jerk old man. It's awful. Just then everybody came barging in the door and started talking really loud. I quickly put my book back in my pocket and wipe the tears away. I see Chris and Jennifer walking together.

Envy.

I quickly force myself to get up and predict which table nobody usually sits in. But as soon as Im up, Jennifer pushes me back down.

"Where the Hell you think your going?!?!" she says. REALLY Loud. Loud enough for me to hear. Loud enough for the whole damn cafeteria to hear.

"Um....I'm just going to-"

"NO. We are going to have a serious little talk." she cuts me off. I have to do something....quick.

"Um sorry, but I don't follow orders from people who think they're something they're not."

Everybody in the cafeteria silenced. EVERYBODY. For a minute I shivered, thinking I was about to be dead in the next minute. But I had to stay strong. Jennifer's face was RED. Completely red.

"LISTEN YOU LITTLE SON OF A-"

"Jennifer! Calm down! Shes just new. And you barely know her for god sake. Just giver her a brake!" Chris interrupted. He looked at her as if she was insane. Jennifer's face calmed down, but her attitude didn't.

"Why should I? Shes messing with you, and i don't want her in the way of us."

What the hell??? Since when I have been getting in the way of them? I was JUST about to swing at her face. I didn't want to, but my nerves forced me to. My hand was clutching into a fist, picked up my arm, then-

"FOOOD FIGHTTTT!".

All of a sudden you see people throwing food at each other. What in the world? Is it "throw food at people in lunch" day? But at the same time, it saved me from getting into trouble. Phew. I quickly ran out, leaving Jennifer tearing and crying about how messed up her hair is going to come out and leaving Chris, throwing sliced apples at some nerd. I JUST wanted to go home from this mess, but I knew I was going to disappoint my mom, and that will prevent the benefit of going back to New York, And see my dad. Oh how I miss him SO much...But anyways back to reality. I was gonna get into trouble, but the cafeteria was a life savor.
