"Steve!" I called him out, he was standing right there stuffing his stuff to the locker. "Hey, wanna come over today? We will have dinner tonight at my house, Conner invited his girlfriend and Seth invited his friend."

"Please, don't talk to me right now. Everyone's practically watching." He told me, hiding his face on the locker door.

I looked around, confused. "Steve, you're being too much. No one is staring at us, they have so much things to do with their self."

"But what if the Danny Zuko and Kenicke show up?" He mocked.

I raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"

"Kale and Ryder." He stated, rolling his eyes at me.

"Oh, that." I got my eyes widened when I saw Kale approaching us. 

"Hey, Emily. What are you doing here? Come on, it's cafeteria time." He said, glaring at Steve the whole time.

He place his hand on my back as I turned my head to see Steve. "See you later at my house," I mouthed at him, as he raised a thumb.

I turned to Kale.

"What was that?" Kale questioned, jealousy grew on his face.

"That? I was talking to him, was that wrong?" 

"No, but, you know..." he stuttered.

"Okay, but he's my friend, I don't want to leave him alone. Anyway, he don't have friends." I told him, staring at his eyes.

He looked at me, confused. "Your friend? Since when you're friends with him? If Ryder and Crystal knows it, they will kill you. But I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't tell them." He laughed.

Whoops.

"Uh..." I turned my stare to the ground, watching my pace walk to the cafeteria. "Hey, I will go to Crystal's table. Since I'm not that hungry, I didn't want to get any food." I told him, kissing his cheek.

"See you later, I'll drive you home after school." Kale said, waving a hand after me.

I walked over to Crystal table, seeing her, Abby and Courtney smirking at me.

"What am I looking at?" Courtney asked, smirking at me.

I raised my eyebrows. "What? That?" But then I smiled shyly. "Come on, it's only-"

"Love?" Crystal cut me off, winking. "So, now you're with Kale? I see, he's a nice guy, you know. Way different than Ryder."

"No, actually, Keith is much better." Abby said, looking at me with her dreamy eyes.

"No, he's a stupid boy." Courtney told her. "You like him because you have the same mind as him." She said sarcastically.

"Hey, look at that." Crystal pointed at the boys' table, where Keith, Ryder and Kale sat. Kale was smirking at me, winking, Keith is busy doing his food while Ryder is glaring at Kale. "Did you see the look on their faces?" Crystal laughed. "Very funny, and longer, it gets better." I turned to watch Crystal smugly face at me. "I think I'll ask Ryder out." She spoke, still smiling at me cockily.

I widened my eye. "Sure, you have to." I muttered. She thinks I like Ryder? I wouldn't even place an eyes on him.

"Why don't you eat, Emily? Are you on a diet?" Abby asked with a goofy smile.

I giggled. "Diet? Of course not, I never went on a diet. I'm just not that hungry." 

"But you're so fit, how did you do that? That black dress looks so good on you." Courtney told me in her shrill voice, watching me in confusion.
