not your basic love story

reoccuring figures

finally the bell for lunch sounded, sierra's class was down the hall so i headed there. the dude i ran into earlier emerged from the same classroom she did, his awful rap music still blaring. i barely noticed him though me and sierra walked downstairs to the cafeteria to meet our other two friends. lily and bee were already at our old table from last year that we claimed when we started hanging out at lunch. we talked about the usual stuff we always talked about and bee told us about her multiple love interests over the summer i pretended to listen but i couldn't all i could think about was how much i wanted to go back to my bed. i hated the cafeteria, there is always so many people and you have to yell in order to have a conversation. i noticed nicholas and his best friend emily and their group of friends from across the room, i got up from the table.
"where are you going?" sierra asked.
"i'm going to go see nick and emily, you can come"
sierra got up and we walked across the room, the tall dude stood next to emily. they used to date durn the summer but emily never actually liked him so they broke up. i think his name is anthony but i could be wrong i've never actually talked to him until i ran into him in the hallway earlier. thankfully after a while he left it was kinda weird he was there to begin with because emily was his ex, but i didn't bother questioning it. after talking to nicholas and emily for a bit the bell rang and me and sierra headed to the one class we had together. we entered the classroom and quickly went for the seats at the back away from everyone so we wouldn't have to talk to them. the dude, anthony i believe was also in the class he sat on the complete opposite side of the room so i wouldn't have to worry about any awkward encounters. he sat next to this boy with long blonde hair and was extremely tall and intimidating after ease dropping a little i learned the kids name is gray and him and anthony are best friends. this class felt long and boring i was really dreading my last class of the day since i didn't know a single person, it was hospitality, cooking class so it was a class i really wanted someone in because you need to talk. i was nearly asleep when the loud bell sounded and startled me waking me up. i stood up waved bye to sierra and walked to my last class of the day. the nerdy kid from my second class was also in this class i sat in a group of girls that were friends with some of my friends but i has never had a conversation with them before so it was a bit awkward. we were assigned groups that we would be stuck to work with for the rest of the semester, two girls jamie and ainsley and the nerdy kid who i learned was named jack were in my group, we are all very antisocial so you can imagine the silence that was taking place. it was not long until the day ended and i was free from the school, i quickly rushed out of there as fast as i possibly could, i passed gray on my way out he was leaning against the wall, arms crossed he appeared to be analyzing every person who walked out the doors. i pretended like i didn't feel his eyes glaring at my back as i pushed the doors opened and started to walk home.
