old friends

2. serious

He was looking at me in a way ive never seen before. I walked up to him and asked him why he was staring. 

"Because you were with my best friend, and you hugged him...and he hugged back." 

"Okaaayy? that shouldnt be a problem though, ive known Zach since i was a baby." 

His eyes widen. "He never mentioned a pretty girl, whats your name?" 

"Sommer Marais" 

"Oh wait, he did, he just didnt refer to you as PrEtTyYy...he dragged on that last word feeling sorry for me but not in a believable way.

"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE TAKE YOUR SEATS" The teacher yelled. I look around at the desks, there seem to have sticky notes on all the desks with names on them, i search for mine. I'm beside a fake blonde kid, his name is-

"Hey im Corbyn, you must be..." he looks over to the other end of my desk and reads my name. "Sommer"  i read for him so i dont seem impolite by ignoring him. 

"Thank you class for listening to me the first time, the first class i had took 6 tries to calm them down and 4 of them were sent to the office! Anyways my name is Mrs. Jones-Miller but you can call me anything you want, by the looks of it ive had SOME of you last year. So because this is a grade split class the 9th graders are on that side and 10th graders on that side, so im just gonna go ahead and take attendance and tell you a few things about myself. 

When she had finished attendance a student sneezed in unison with me and the whole class said Bless You. If we were in Choir they would've gotten an A+ for saying it together...AnYwAyS, she ends up telling us the rules of the classroom, that she got married last summer and that by the end of this semester shes expecting her first child. We all clapped and congratulated her. Corbyn and I ended up talking/whispering the whole class getting to know each other. He has 1 sister, he lost his brother in an accident when he was drunk. He has a girlfriend named Christina and shes a beauty Blogger.  When the bell rings Corbyn asks if i want to sit with Him at lunch and i accept his generous invintation. We wait in the lunch line together when his friends walk up to him, and there was Zach. 

"Hey Zach." i hug him, he hugs back. 

"Its seriously so wild you are here right now, these past 8 years have been wild!"

"Zach, its only been 3 years." 

"Ya but it FELT like 8 years"

Corbyn glanced at Zach then at me then back at Zach when the lunch line moved at the lunch lady yelled next.

"Hey Gladys how is my favorite lunch lady?"

"SUCKUP!" Someone yelled from the line.

"Can it Anthony or i'll shove your head in a locker again!" Zach yells to the person behind him still hugging me. 

"OMG Zach my ear!" I laugh.

"whoopsieee hehe!" 

"NEXT!"

Zach gestures for me to order first and i kindly decline and insist he goes first, but he doesn't accept and shoves me forward. 

"I uhm I uh... Zachhhhh...." I whine.

"Sorry Gladys its her first day and she's scared."

"No No No there's no rush haha she can take as long as she wants, i know how that feels haha..." She touches my shoulder and nods while mouthing 'Its Okay...'

I finally calm down after she reassures me and tell her i just want a water. She points to a fridge behind me with all kinds of drinks, I grab a water and head towards her and Zach again.
