When the bell rings signaling lunch time, I all but sprint towards the cafeteria.
Piles of students scramble into the cafeteria, trying to claim their places in line to appease their crying stomachs. I decide I'm too anxious to wait in line, so I go over to the quick-pick stand and buy a plate of French fries and a chocolate milk.
Yeah, don't ask.
I then make a quick beeline for the library, hoping that Angie, Jax and Shane are all there waiting for me.
When I walk inside of the library, I see Angie sitting on a beanbag chair eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Jaxon is no were to be found, and I don't see Shane either.
"Typical boys. Always late." Angie sighs, taking another bite of her sandwich.
"They're probably in the long line trying to get food." I laugh, sitting down on the ground beside Angie and taking a few French fries from my plate. I pop a few into my mouth and sigh with gratitude. It's been a while since I've had French fries and since I'm not focused on my weight right now, eating something I love seems like the perfect way to calm my nerves about Jared.
I know I will regret eating an entire plate of French fries later, but I make a note to write it down in my diet journal and figure out a way to rid myself of the calories another time.
"So, what's the deal with this super secret meeting?" I hear Jaxon's loud voice ring throughout the library.
The librarian shushes Jaxon immediately, and his face turns pink as he holds up his hands, signaling that he is sorry.
"So, what's the deal with this super-secret meeting?" Jaxon then whispers, trying his best not to catch the attention of the strict librarian again.
"Where's Shane?" I ask while completely ignoring Jaxons question.
"Getting food. He should be here in a sec." Jax states while sitting down on the other side of Angie.
"Hey beautiful." He smiles to her, which makes her cheeks turn a soft shade of pink.
"Hi." She smiles as she takes another bite of her sandwich.
"Man, you make eating look so good." He chuckles teasingly.
"Okay, ew." I comment just loud enough for both of them to send me a glare.
"You need to get over the whole 'Jaxon and Angie are gross' thing, because we don't say ew every time you and Shane kiss or say something corny." Angie laughs.
"You're right. My bad." I smirk, causing the librarian to give us a warning glance.
"Guys be quiet." Jax mumbles. "She scares me." He says, referring to the mean librarian.
Angie and I try to suppress our laughs when Shane finally walks inside. He walks over to us and takes a seat beside me, leaning over to kiss my cheek.
"Ew!" Angie and Jax both tease with mocking faces.
"Whatever." I sigh, causing Shane to chuckle.
"So, now can I know why we're here for this super secret meeting?" Jax asks again, not giving up until I spill my dirt.
"Well, I got a visitor this morning before I left for school. That's why I was late." I start.
