Breakfast at Tiffany's

Chapter three

        I sit down at the lunch table and wait for everybody else to show up; I am the first person here. I had already gotten my food, a slice of pizza, in the lunch line and am starting to pick on it. Someone slid onto the bench across from me. I lift my head up at the person in front of me, and to my surprise I recognize them.

        He isn't one of the other populars who usually sits at our table, but I've seen him before. He was the kid who I knocked down in he hall. I mean, sure he's nice, but he should know better than to sit here... I'm not his friend just because I said sorry.

        I guess there is a tiny bit of me that acts like a true popular, but I try to keep it at bay. But in all honesty, he does not belong here.

        "Hey," he starts.

        "You shouldn't be sitting here. Just because I apologized to you in the hallway doesn't mean we're 'best buddies'."

        "Oh, I-I, yeah I'm sorry," clearly taken aback by my sudden outburst.

        "No, no. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you." His face softens a little bit as I continue. "But, I am being completely serious with you when I say you would not want to be caught sitting here. I can't control what the others will do if they find you here. Please leave."

        "Oh.." He pauses a bit, "okay." He quickly collects his lunch tray and speeds off to the opposite side of the cafeteria.

        No sooner is he gone than the cafeteria fills with sound. I see Kelsey walking over to me with Courtney hooked at the waist next to her.

        "You shouldn't be alone!" Kelsey exclaims as she rushes over and fills the seat next to me, leaving Courtney behind her. "Who knows what freaks could come up and try to talk to you!" She shudders at the thought.

        I see Jack walking with Colton and Andrew, the jocks of the school, into the cafeteria. I try to make eye contact with him, but every time his eyes stray over to our location he quickly averts them ahead of him. Was he ignoring me? What did I do wrong? It's times like these that I really don't understand Jack Macy. One minutes he's all sweet and touchy, and then something happens and he distances himself from me. Maybe he's bipolar.

        A couple of other girls join our table; Jane and Christina, the two main sluts - they've slept with 92% of the male population of the school, even Jack. The thought makes me shudder.. I haven't even had sex with him, for God's sake, and he's been my boyfriend of just about 2 years now! Our anniversary is coming up in the next few days, and I'm excited to see what he has planned.

        Then there's Anne, the head cheerleader, and the bitch of the school. She is nosy, controlling, and rich. She's a bit on the slut side, but she's trying to ditch that label. She, and I quote 'gets what she wants when she wants it'. She gets into couple's relationships and tries to ruin them if she doesn't think they are fit for eachother. Seriously? Hold up, you are not some sort of deranged Cupid.

        "No boys sitting here today?" Jane asks, disappointment written clear on her face. She's always hanging a boy, this is a rare occasion. But she was right, usually it isn't only girls sitting at this table, it's anyone who is anyone.

        "Have you talked to Jack?" Courtney leans behind Kelsey to whisper.

        "Oh.. Um, no."

        "I heard he's telling all the boys that you love him," she has a concerned expression on her face.

        "Oh, that's.. Odd," why would they need to know that. I mean, it's true.. I think I love him. But he didn't need to share that with them. And it's not like he said it back, either. I don't like jumping to conclusions, but I'm not stupid, either. I'm not going to be some naïve girl that gets her heart broken. Was he PLAYING me..?
