CHRIS POV
PE came to an end, our Digital Technology period soon after also flew by and now lunchtime is here.
"You know where your locker is now yeah?" Cassie asks.
"Yeah, thanks and I'll just sit with you and your friends." I reply.
"Great well I'll meet you outside the locker bay and then I'll lead you to the bunch of retards I like to call my friends." She says with a playful smirk.
We split ways again to our locker areas, I put my books back inside my locker and check how much money I have in my wallet...
Fuck I just remembered I have no money. I remember giving it to those little gremlins at home because they pleaded for lunch money. I can't believe those gremlins are my half blood siblings. I even question why those twins are so attached to me and I also question why I have such a soft spot for them, hell I have a soft spot for all my siblings.
Going back to having no money, I guess I'll just have to starve until I get home.
I walk out of the locker bay where Cassie is waiting with her lunch. Once she sees me she gives me a smile and a nod.
"Dude what took you so long, didn't think you'd be a sloth! Did you get lost in the crowd or something?" Cassie teases.
"I'm not a fucking sloth." I glare daggers at her, she lifts her hands up in surrender and backs away laughing.
"Okay, okay chill, let's go in." We go up the stairs towards a small hill facing the lockers. On that hill sits multiple wooden tables and benches on either side to complement them and sitting on one of the tables is a group of 5 people which are probably Cassie's friends.
A freckled tan yet pale, brown haired boy with hipster looking glasses that covered hazel green eyes turned in our direction. His face looks quite feminine, is this the 'fag' Vincent mentioned earlier? His face lights up when he sees Cassie.
"Cassie you're here! Finally I don't have to be the only third wheel here!" The boy holds a huge smile that reaches his eyes. I wish I could learn how to smile like that...
He then looks at me with a surprised face, looking at me up and down. It seems like he's staring in awe.
"Who's this guy?" He asks. Now everyone is looking in our direction.
"Oh! This is the new kid, his name is Chris and I have to take care of him in the meantime." Cassie explains, gesturing to me.
"Oh I see! Well I'm Akio, it's nice to meet you!" Akio says cheerfully. He looks quite chirpy and bright and maybe even innocent, but at the same time he seems a bit too positive so you never know if he's putting up an act.
"The guy that looks like a manlier version of me with no glasses is my big brother Hideki and the one next to him is Dylan, they're both in year 12. The hot halfie over there is Carlos and the angel-looking babe next to him is Summer! Altogether we make the 'little shits squad' because we're cringey just like our group title and full of crap. Hopefully you can join us as well." Akio introduces, gesturing at each member as he is talking. They all seem to have different personas than each other, yet they seem so close.
This is not what I was expecting, I thought they might've been a bit more similar to Cassie, they are a bit but at the same time very different.
If this is what I have to put up with then... shit.
Cassie sits across from Akio and I decide to follow suite, she begins to munch on her lunch.
"So, Cassie," Summer, who's next to Cassie, nudges her, "could this be a possible love interest?" She smirks.
