She Brought Light || Guy's POV

Chapter 19: "Race You For It?"

When lunch time rolls by, I'm  already in the cafeteria with Matt. The two of us sitting at our usual table in our usual seats. Soon, the cafeteria starts getting noisy as students start filing in.

"Hey, Blake." A female voice says from behind me. Before I can even turn around, the girl is sitting next to me, in Veronica's place, smiling up at me. "Is it true that you and Veronica are dating?" She asks.

Matt snorts from across the table and I fight the urge to just roll my eyes. Trinity is one of the girls I slept with and one of the girls that got really clingy. After our night together, she started hanging around me and following me like a lost little puppy. What kind of surprised me was; back when River, Zayn and I were all still sitting at our old lunch table, Trinity came up to me and asked me out in front of everyone.

Serena didn't like that at all and humiliated her in front of the entire cafeteria. I actually had to drag the girl out and nicely told her I didn't do the whole dating thing. To say she felt humiliated twice in the spam of five minutes would be the understatement of the century.

Our night together sure helped her social life though and she ended up dating Owen for three months until he felt she was way too clingy for him.

"Why do you ask, Trinity?" I ask with my brows raised.

"Krissy said she heard you asking Veronica out on a date during lunch and I remembered you said you don't do the dating thing, so I was just curious." She shrugs like it's no big deal but even an idiot can see she finds it a big deal.

"Did I personally tell Krissy this?" I ask and she shakes her head with furrowed brows. "Then I don't see how this is any of her business, or yours for that matter!" I warn and her eyes widen before she nod and scurried away, but not before eying Veronica's hair tie around my wrist.

As soon as Trinity leaves, Matt burst out laughing. I knew this would happen, I just didn't think anyone would actually have the balls to come up to me and ask. I was always the talk of the school and the second someone saw me with a new girl, the entire school would know.

Being the popular kid in school has it's perks, but it also means you don't really have any privacy. I didn't really care at first, because I actually made it pretty obvious, but now though, I wish I had more privacy. The girl I'm actually spending time with hates attention and I'm actually terrified she decides to distance herself from me because with me comes a whole lot of attention.

The only thing I'm still very much loving about being so popular is the fact that I'm the last person people want to mess with. Everyone knows that when I get angry, it's safe if they just ran in the opposite direction.

"You should have seen that one coming." Matt says once his laughter dies down to chuckles.

"I know and I did. Just didn't think they'd actually come ask me about it directly." I sigh before taking out my avocado sandwich.

Eventually all our friends show up, Veronica and Andrea being the last two as always. Grayson and Michael started sitting with us, only now, I don't hate the dude as much as before. We actually talk now.

Veronica takes out her sandwich, her eyes glowing at the sight of it. I swear no guy will ever be loved as much as she loves her famous Nutella sandwiches. Hell I'm pretty sure Jason got jealous whenever she ate that thing.

Veronica takes a bite of her sandwich, her eyes shutting as a moan sounds from the back of her throat. "Gone is my stresses." She mutters and I let out a breathy laugh.

"The sounds a Nutella sandwich has Sunshine making." River laughs, causing Veronica to open her eyes and narrow them at him.

"Don't get jealous. Not a good look on you." She says seriously and I raise a brow.
