The lunch bell rang, and all the students in the class got up quickly, exiting at about the same pace. Thank god, I was starving, as I wasn't able to eat dinner last night and I just had a granola bar from the cabinet this morning. My family, though small, is.. not well off. My mother has to work a lot, and when she's home, well.. I still don't get to eat much..
"Hey Balloon!" I snap out of my thoughts, turning to see Suitcase had appeared next to me in the crowded hallway, "How's it going?"
"I-I'm doing alright," I gave her a small grin, "I'm so hungry right now, though."
"Yeah, same," she laughed a bit. I doubt she was as starved as me, but I wouldn't argue about that. Besides, wearing hoodies hides it well enough, and I don't want to frighten her away, "I was able to make some more friends, by the way!"
"Oh really? With who?"
"Well, the two guys you were staring at in seminar came up to me. Nickel and Baseball."
I felt a coldness waft over me, "They..s-Suitcase, those guys are bad news!"
"They seem fine to me," she retorted, "and they told me that you were bad news, too."
I sighed in defeat, "of course they did.."
"I mean, what even happened between you guys?" She asked.
"They didn't tell you?"
"No. No they didn't."
I blinked. I would've thought they'd have spilled everything from the past years. Now I had a tougher question, though. Do I tell her? N-no, not yet at least. She will find out eventually, I'm sure of it. But for now..
"It doesn't matter, let's just go eat." I said as we entered the cafeteria, which smelled of warm food, but also of garbage. It had a love-hate relationship with the entirety of the school.
"...ok, if you say so.. but," It suddenly felt as if the flow time became thick like honey, moving slower. She grabbed my shoulder and turned me towards her, "if you need to talk about something, just let me know."
I felt an odd jump in my heart, and my throat clenched a little. She then smiled, taking her hand away from me, and turned to go find a place to sit. The world turned back to normal speed, and I remained in the lunch line.
This feels.. different...
