JADES’ P.O.V
Oh my! How could I have forgotten about Alexia?! Oh wait, in math class she woke and took excuse to the bathroom. I haven’t seen her anywhere since. I followed in a hurry, the dozens of people to trail to the cafeteria.
BOOOO! Someone jumped from a corner to my front. Alexia!!!!
“Love, you scared me!”, I yelled excitedly and she hugged me so tightly , I yelped.
“I missed you oh my gosh its like the second month of school, you have missed a lot I was like your mom told me you were gonna school here I kept waiting cause we planned it to surprise you but I didn’t see you my days have been dry as fuck without you I don’t know I just –finally youre here and-
“Calm down Alex lol,” I replied patting her back and smiling uncontrollably.
“HAHAHAHHAHAHA I MISSED YOUR LOLS” She cried. She griped my hand in hers and we walked into the hall talking randomly.
We found somewhere to sit after we got our food. I had a burrito and an apple. I don’t eat much. Alexias’ tray was full. Tacos, spaghetti and meatballs, Orange juice and a burrito by the side.
Tacos. TACOS? Really? What kind of school serves tacos? I’m amazed. I didn’t see it while I was getting mine. I was too busy checking out the unfamiliar faces, and seeing the hall occupied but somewhat clustered in groups.
The hipsters sat together, you could tell by their colourful outfits, beanies , fashionable scarves and astounding foot-wears. The cheerleaders and the football team, both boys and girls sat mixed around the center of the hall..they were in their uniforms. Is it the football season yet or ??.
Most of the emos’ sat alone, scattered about. You could tell by their dark make up , piercings and strange tattoos. Only a few of them were paired , and the rest of the randoms sat freely around but never close to the cheerleaders.
“By the way , you look really hot Jade,” she remarked then winked and went back to twirling her pasta. It made me chuckle how she can casually call me hot. Shes’ bi. It dosen’t matter. I love her. I have one sibling but he’s in a boarding house at his school. I don’t have a sister but sometimes when asked I say I have a sister. Alexia.
We were at the end of the table of the hipsters , I don’t know why we settled there. But its not like anyone will chase us away. I felt a little embarrassed when she teased me so I kicked her leg from under the table.
“Ow!,” she yelled. A corny smile played on her plump-red lips.
“SH!” I scolded playfully.
Just when I was about taking a bite out of my burrito, someone shoved my head forward. Launching my face right into my burrito and messing my hands up quite not horribly. Thank goodness it didn’t spill on my outfit.
“What the heck??!!,” I said blinking away crumbs of crap . I wiped my lashes with a neat serviette I had collected along with my food .
A blonde and two other brunettes walked past and turned opposite me, beside Alexis . They giggled a little then the blonde leaned on the table, facing me.
“Aww, little slut got messed up?”, she pouted. I looked at her, absolutely confused. Alexia and I stood up hastily as if on cue. The blondie flipped her hair , reared upright so we were face to face while her escorts posed like a pair of Barbie’s. Eww.
“What was that for?” I said rather calmly, still wiping my face. I shouldn’t waste emotions on peasants, I realized. I also noticed people looking over.
“The fuck?!” Alex cut in, she had her fists clenched but rested them on the table. Her expression was filled with hope that what she just saw was a harmless mistake.
She hated drama, I knew. She looked so adorable when she was mad, cause she was short, really fair with nose ring and she had put on her beanie. She was just perfect. My bestfriend is cute everyone!!! .
“Oh shut up!,” the brunettes scorned at Alex then jinxed each other. Kids or teenagers? I can hardly tell. But they comported theirselves quickly.
Alex huffed irritated and I immediately took to action. I don’t intend to fight but when it comes to my best friend, I will at least do something. I walked out of my place with rage and grabbed the two by their hair, so their faces was bowed down to me. I felt the blondes hand touch my jacket which was tied on my waist but Alex hurriedly slapped it off .
“Don’t you dare!,” Alex spat at her . Her voice was usually so soft but at that moment, it screeched like a tigress.
“I don’t know who you are , and why you’re being a basic pest. You can shove my face in food ,yeah fine. But don’t…you…ever..”I pulled their hair to and fro as I continued, my feet was firmly planted to the ground. “Don’t ..you…ever..insult my best friend!”. I set them free.
They stumbled back astonished, then one thrust her hand and tried to swing at me. I had crossed my arms to my face but her hand hadn’t hit me yet. The noise in the hall was ironically deafening and people had gathered around us. Maybe I should wait a few seconds?
What now?
I slowly opened my eyes to see some guys holding back the brunettes who were desperately wanting to re-arrange my face. Not that I cared, I had already stood up for Alex. By the way , she had just shoved the blonde to the boys and pulled me to my right by her , more like a hug from the sides . She was being protective.
I had held her left hand on my shoulder with my right, smoothening it softly like I was telling her that its okay now. So back to who shielded me from a potential pounding. I poked my head about to see ..they were backing us, holding back the girls gone wild.
Nice asses boys, I thought. Wait,what? Lol. The kind of things I think of at the wrong moments. I got a glance of one of the boys, I noticed his hair at first . Pixie cut. I always admired that haircut on boys.
He turned to his side and his polished brownish-blue but kind of green eyes, bore right into mine. I need to figure the colour of his eyes okay? I thought, as if giving myself a mission. Those complex eyes.
I looked down, ashamed. No way. JASON the douche and some other boys, had saved my ass from a beating !!!
