I'm on my way to lunch, but I see James by his locker. So I decide to go and get something from my locker. I open my locker and he looks at me, I smile. He doesn't smile back so I look at my mirror locker to make sure there is nothing in my teeth. I'm clean. I wonder why he didn't say anything or even smile....maybe I should say something to him. "Hi." I say shyly. "Hi." He says hi like he doesn't even want to talk to me, but I don't let that stop me. I close my locker and lay on it. "How's your first day?" He looks at me, closes his locker and says firmly "Fine." Then he walks away, slowly, like he expects me to run up to him. I don't. But I do run past him, I glance at him when I pass him and he looks shocked. I slow down from a run to a jog to eventually a walk. I look back and he is far behind me. I slowly make my way to the cafeteria and get in line to buy lunch. "Umm HEY!" I turn around to see who said that and I see my best friend since 9th grade, Destiny. "OMG Hey desty! I haven't seen you since...last year which makes sense because we had summer." I laugh so hard and so does she. "Omg did you see that really cute tall guy??" I think of who she could be talking about and then anger fills my chest, but I try not to show it. "James?" "YESSS!" Anger fills me up until it reaches the tip of my head. She better not like James, I love her, but she always ends up dating or having a really close relationship with the guy I like. "Uh-uh. That boy is mine." I say it trying to sound playful, but I'm furious inside! "Say what?" She looks at me with a confused expression. "Dude. He is off limits. I like him, every time I like someone you end up liking him." "Okay, Diamond, whatever." I turn around and grab my food. "Wait. Are you mad now?" Did she really just ask me that. "No I'm not Desty." I pay for my food and walk to the table next to where James is sitting and Destiny follows. I see more of my friends from 10th and 9th grade and they come over to the table I'm sitting at. We all sit together and enjoy our lunch.
