6. No buts

After two long hours of History class I realized how hungry one can get from sitting down all the time. Lucky for me it was lunch break. I almost threw my books in my locker and hurried straight to the cafeteria. On my way down the long hall I discovered Becca standing at her locker. I argued with myself whether I should walk over to her, but before I could figure it out, my feet had already taken me to her locker.

"Hey" I said, my voice sounding all excited and weird. Why was I so nervous around her?

"Hey" she smiled at me and closed her locker.

"Uhm, I was thinking if you... uh...maybe wanted to eat lunch... together, with me?" I asked and felt my hands getting sweaty. I needed to pull myself together, it's not like I was asking her to marry me.

"Yeah, sure" she said, and I felt kind of relieved.

"I just need to go to the bathroom first, but can you save me a seat?" she asked and started to walk in the opposite direction of the bathrooms.

"Sure will" I said and watched her walk away.

I went to the cafeteria and quickly got some food on my tray, I was starving. I looked around the room for a spot where me and Becca could sit, but suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked to my left and discovered Sam and some of the other guys from yesterday.

"Hey Blake, what's up?" he said as the other guys started to walk over to the table in the middle of the room. I guess it was their regular spot.

"Hey Sam" I said.

"How's your second day at East High going so far?" he asked with a smile. I had to admit, Sam seemed like a nice guy.

"It's good, thanks" I answered him looking at my tray of food, day dreaming of inhaling it all.

"Good, well listen. You're sitting with us today" Sam said and made my stomach sink.

"Uh, I would love to but uhm-"

"No buts, come on" Sam said.

He began walking over to the table, still having his hand on my shoulder so I automatically followed him.

We sat down on the small cold chairs and the other guys greeted me.

"So Blake, I wanted to ask you something-" Sam started to say, but I stopped listening to him when Becca walked in the room.

Our eyes met, but suddenly her happy expression turned into a frown. She lowered her head and went in line to get some food. I was about to stand up and go to her when I heard Sam ask me something.

"What?" I said.

"I asked, what do you think?" he said raising his eyebrows.

"Sorry, about what?" I asked even more confused.

"Man, where you even listening? We want you to come to a party me and the guys are having this Friday" Sam explained.

My mind went blank. A party? I felt kind of flattered they were inviting me, since I had only known them for one day. They seemed like nice guys all of them, so I guess it wouldn't hurt going. The only question was if I would get permission from my parents. I already knew the answer to that one. No.

"Uh, yeah sure I would love to" I answered giving them a smile.

The guys started talking about where the party were held and at what time, but I wasn't really listening. I looked around the room for Becca once again, but she was nowhere to be seen. I wanted to get up and go after her, but I knew I would attract too much attention to myself and the guys would want an explanation. They had already warned me about hanging out with Becca and I doubt that they would keep hanging out with me if I was also friends with her.

I started wondering if the rumors about her were actually true and if it was a bad idea to hang out with her. I also wondered why she didn't want to sit with the guys, maybe she knew that they were saying bad stuff about her.

My brain felt like it was swirling around with questions and I wanted so badly to go find her. There was something about her I just didn't want to miss out on.

I sighed deeply and put another bite of food in my mouth. I tried to forget all about my crazy thoughts for a second, and just focus on whatever topic Sam and the guys were preaching about at the moment. But it was no use, I couldn't take my mind off her.
