**LONG CHAPTER***

Chapter 7

As the lunch lady dragged nick and mike away from me and to the principals office for fighting, I mustered up a weak sympathetic smile to nick. I didn't know how to look at mike. I didn't know how to feel. So I looked away as I felt mike's stare bore into me.

Once the boys were out of the cafeteria, all eyes turned on me, for technically, the fight was CAUSED by me. -.-

I chuckled nervously, bowing my head down and pulling my hair out from behind my ears to hopefully cover by tomato face. I blush a lot.

I heard the other lunch ladies yelling at everyone to go sit down. I plopped my butt back safely onto the chair, glad that this was over.

Or so I thought it was over.

Rachel plopped down to my right, and Austin immediately took his seat as well.

'WELL jade. U were right. He does notice u!' Rachel gasped. She wasn't even being sarcastic. I laughed, though I was secretly kind of insulted by her utter surprise and disbelief that someone could - no way! :o - actually pay attention to me! Hah! But whatever, cuz that's why I love Rachel. And I'm not stuck up or anything. I've just gotten used to him calling me babe and him noticing me. Him being mike. And after all, nick HAS been crushing on me for a while now.

Austin begged for me to continue my story of what had happened outside of the cafeteria, so I did, with Rachel and Austin both listening intently. When I was done, I leaned back and smiled, satisfied that I got it out of my system.

'Now...' I say with a smile, 'is time for revenge. What do u say guys ;)'

They both agreed, which caused me to hug both of them out of joy and bc they r the BESTEST friends ever.

I could see Cassidy and her followers strutting towards me from my peripheral vision (out of the corner of my eye), but just in time, the lunch bell rang. I sighed with relief.

*******

After grabbing my afternoon class books (math, Spanish, science, and gym/cycle) I scampered to class and walked in right as the bell rang.

Phew! I thought, I'm not late :)

Walking to my seat at the back of the class should've been easy. But it wasn't. I got stares from everyone which made me (yep, u guessed it) blush really hard.

On top of that, the math teacher (the young hot teacher who looks like mike Vogel, Mr. Gee) called me out for almost being late for the 5th time in a row and he wasn't liking it at all. I looked down, humiliated, and stalked down the aisle towards my seat. But of course, some people just live to make my life a nightmare. That's why I'm not that shocked that I was tripped on the way there. I fell flat on my face and the pain raced through my body. I forced myself to get up, enraged and dizzy. My head throbbed and I rubbed it, looking to see who did it.

'Watch where you're going' spat out Cassidy from behind me. Her legs were crossed in the aisle. SHE TRIPPED ME! By purpose! I narrowed my eyes and was about to set her straight for good when I (thankfully and yet annoyingly) noticed the 20 pairs of eyes on me, anticipating what I'd do. Even Mr. Gee looked curious. I sighed and bent down to gather my things. I was picking up my pencil case when a hand rested on top of mine. I lifted my eyes, only to meet mikes. But I wasn't thankful to see him, considering the fact that him and Cassidy are tight.

We stared at each other for a moment before he said, 'lemme help u.' He smirked and helped me gather the rest of my books, and then offered me a hand to stand up. I accepted, not sure what to make out of mike's suddenly kind behavior.
