When lunch came around, I️ tried to navigate my way through the cafeteria. As I️ was walking, I️ was stopped by a student.

"Hey. We're doing a lunchtime survey of new students," he said.

"Okay?" I️ said.

"Can you answer a few questions?" he asked.

"Okay..." I️ answered reluctantly.

"Is your muffin buttered?" he asked.

I️ raised an eyebrow incredulously.

"What?" I️ asked.

He then continued with the innuendo.

"Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?" he asked.

My eyes widened.

"My what?" I️ asked.

Fortunately, I️ was then saved.

"Is he bothering you?" a voice behind me asked.

I️ turned around to the table behind me. Sitting there were none other than the Plastics. The one who had rescued me was the pretty blonde or, as Buffy had said, "evil in human form." Somehow she was even more beautiful up close.

She eyed the boy who had been harassing me prior.

"Jason, why are you such a skeez?" she asked.

He rolled his eyes.

"I️'m just being friendly," the boy - presumably Jason - said.

He sure was being "friendly" alright.

Amber shook her head.

"You were supposed to call me last night," Kira whispered loudly.

Amber scowled at Jason.

"Jason, you do not come to a party at my house with Kira and then scam on some poor, innocent girl right in front of us three days later. She's not interested," Amber lectured.

Then, she turned to me.

"Do you want to hook up with him?" she asked.

I️ swallowed the lump in my throat before shaking my head.

"No, thank you," I️ said, causing a frown to spread down Jason's face. Amber smirked.

"Good. It's settled. You can go shave your back now," she said, waving goodbye to Jason.

I️ then began to walk past the table, heading to go find Cyrus and Buffy, as it seemed most logical to sit with them since they were the first people to actually be nice to me.

However, before I️ could make my escape, I️ was stopped by Amber.

"Wait, sit down," she said.

I️ paused for a brief moment before deciding to pretend not to hear her.

"Seriously, sit down," she said.

I️ located the table where Buffy and Cyrus were sitting and make eye contact with them before turning back to Amber and doing what I️ was told. I️ kind of didn't know how to say no.

She eyed me, looking as if she were intrigued by me somehow. I️ didn't know how to feel about it.

"Why don't I️ know you?" she asked.

Great. I️ was the new girl and I️ was sticking out like a sore thumb.

"I'm new. I️ used to be home-schooled," I️ said.
