Chapter 3

Demi's P.O.V.

Since the first day of school Nick and I have gotten to know each other a little more. We don’t really talk outside of science class. I hope that changes soon. The first half of the day had gone smoothly. I had gotten homework in two of the four classes I have had so far and now it is lunch time. I think our lunch is early, it’s at 11:00AM, but that’s just my opinion.

 I walked into the lunch room and saw my group of friends sitting at the table that we usually sit at. We decided that today we were just going to stay on campus. I strolled over to the table and sat down at the end of the bench. I got out my lunch and started eating. 

I wasn’t really paying attention to what everybody was talking about. I was in deep thought about what I was going to do when I got home. That was until I hear one of the people at the table say “I think his name is Nick.” while snickering.

I looked over my shoulder to where Nick was sitting and sighed. I didn’t want to say anything and get shunned for being friends with someone that is not in our group, but I wanted to be his friend. I don’t think I would be a good friend if I didn’t stand up for him. I continued to listen to them mock Nick. Finally I couldn’t stand it anymore. “What did he do to you for you to make fun of him?” I said in a slightly aggressive tone.

Everybody looked taken back by my outburst. Nobody said anything for a second. “That’s what I thought.” I said annoyed that they were being rude to someone they have never met. I got up and went to go sit with nick. I couldn’t be bothered to deal with them for the rest of the day. Sometimes I hated being friends with them. They were always good friends to me but to anyone that’s not ‘popular’ well, they would never do that.

Nick was sitting by himself when I went over there and sat down next to him. He looked over at me with a surprised face when he noticed my presence. “Umm, Hi” He said a little confused probably as to why I was sitting with him.

“Hi” I said with a friendly smile.

“What are you doing over here and not sitting with your friends?” He asked. When he said friends he said it like he had venom in his mouth. I knew he didn’t really like my friends.

“I can’t take a break from them and come sit with you without being questioned?” I said with a fake hurt expression on my face.

“You can after this time because you’ve never sat with me before and it seems suspicious.” He told me.

“Okay,” I thought for a second about what to say, “Well I just saw you sitting over here by yourself and wanted to give you some company.”

He looked over at me for a moment then turned back to the table and took a bite. After he finished chewing he said “You know it’s pretty easy to tell when you’re lying. So what is the real reason you came over here?”

I started getting nervous. “Well, I heard one of them at the table say your name so I started listening and they were mocking you so I told them to stop and then I just didn’t want to deal with them so I came to sit by you.” I blurted out.

Nick just looked and me smiles and said thanks then went back to eating. I don’t know why I was nervous. It was like he didn’t care that I just said that people were mocking him. Maybe this had happened before, or maybe he just doesn’t care what other people say about him. Hopefully it’s the second one.

The rest of lunch went by pretty quickly. Nick and I didn’t talk much just a little about what our day had been like so far. It was nice to have a one on one conversation and not with about 10 people at once.

It was finally science, the last class of the day, and I was excited to see Nick. I think he could be a great friend we just need to get to know each other more.

I walked into class and sat at the assigned desk that was Nicks and mine. I got to class earlier than normal. It was probably because I didn’t have to wait for my friends to get there books  for the next class.

When Nick walked into the classroom I got a feeling in my stomach that had never happened before. I didn’t think anything of it. He sat down next to me and we waited for the teacher to get the class started.

We found out that we had a project due at the end of the week. I am the kind of person that likes to get stuff done on time if not earlier, so I asked Nick if he wanted to start working on it at my house after school today.

“So, do you want to come over later today and start working on the project? We can get a head start.” I asked nick. “You don’t have to if you don’t want it’s just a suggestion.” I finished.

“No, that would be nice.” He said with a smile. “You know to start it now and maybe finish early.” He said with a nervous laugh at the end.

“Alright, well I’ll text you my address after I get home.” I said laughing at his nervousness.

He nodded and by then the bell rang for the end of the day. I got my stuff together and waved at him to say bye. He waved back and I walked out of the school to my car. I drove home and texted Nick my address and that he could come over any time now. He replied that he would be over in a half hour.
