The Average Love Story

Chapter 3

After Chemistry and English it was time for lunch. I walked to my locker with my friend Claire. Claire isn't shy but she does have a very quiet personality. That is one of the things I like most about her, it's a nice change from Emma. Once we got to the cafeteria it seemed impossible to find a seat. Finally we just settled with a spot on the bench next to Molly. Molly usually sits alone and I was happy that we were able to sit with her. It was very nice and peaceful sitting in silence while we enjoyed our lunch, until Emma and Lizzie came and sqeezed their way in.

When Lizzie and Emma are together they go absolutely crazy, I love them, but they are nuts. I almost felt bad for Molly, she doesn't particularly like their loudness, so I tried to get them to call down. I didn't even have a clue to what they were talking about but I guessed that they were impersonating a math teacher, Mr. Walik. Or as they call him Mr. Walrus. I had a hard time not lauging while they put straws up there nose and barked. But as soon has Liam and his buddy's Dave and Bracken sat down by us Lizzie and Emma went silent. Emma's face went scarlet red and she yanked the straws out of her nose.

" Hey," Liam said trying not to sound to awkward. Emma got up without saying anything, got her stuff, and walked away, Lizzie following her. I personally thought that she was being ridiculous, but she still is my best friend and I would have gone after her, but I felt kind of embarrassed for Liam.

"Hello," I said trying not to laugh. Dave however couldn't hold it and burst out laughing, Dave's laugh sounds like a donkey that's dying, so that got even Molly giggling.

"So do you think Emma's mad at me?" Liam asked, being a little sarcastic.

"She really wants to stay friends with you doesn't she? What an angel," Bracken laughed.

"She is so understanding, why on earth would you want to dump her?" Dave smirked.

"I think she is so wonderful that I wish she was my girlfriend," Bracken continued.

I was starting to get really upset with how they were talking about Emma and I lost it, "Well since you guys are so perfect and are all rose and doves with your ex why don't you go and sit with them? And let us angels eat our lunch in peace," I spat at them. I have a little bit of a temper, but I'm not very good at come backs, Jay always teases me for it. But I felt proud of myself for standing up for my friend, and I thought that the look of bewilderment on everyone's faces was satisfying.

I raised my eyebrows at Liam, almost daring him to snap back at me, but he put his arms up and replied, "Your right I'm sorry. It was stupid of me to think that I could come and sit with you guys after I just broke up with Emma. And we were being rude. I guess we'll go sit somewhere else." I would have apologized and told him that it wasn't a big deal and Emma would get over it, but I decided it probably would be best to just avoid each other until this whole thing cools off.

"Good, I didn't even want to sit with you losers anyway," Dave spat as they were getting there stuff. Liam smaked him on the head and told him to shut up.

"Sorry, I guess I'll see you later..." I said to Liam, feeling a little awkward.

"Bye," Liam said as they walked off. Bracken was flipping us off behind his back, but I was just happy that they were gone.

"You sure told them," Claire giggled, Molly nodded in agreement.

"It was really stupid, I am bad at coming up with something mean to say without being able to think it through. But tonight I will probably have a great come back." I smiled, still feeling a little embarressed.

"Well at least you said something," Claire replied, taking a huge bit of her peanut butter and jelly sandwitch.

I nodded dismissively, "I am going to go find Emma." Claire and Molly got up and came with me.
