Angelita seemed off again, she must've knew what had happened after swim class with Crybaby. The chlorine flavored make-out session on the cold tile floor didn't last as long as you would've liked it to but you're still thankful that it happened, a moment with the one and only that's been longingly anticipated.

The sweet sound of lips smacking against one another and teeth colliding echoing off of the empty lockers.

All is beside the point that Angelita didn't follow you to lunch as usual, by now she would've already had a tray of food waiting for you at her table with a smile plastered on her innocent face. You're rather surprised to walk into the cafeteria see her sitting with Celeste and Crybaby talking silently, you shrug it off before walking to the lunch line behind Kelly and Lucy. Their infamous blonde locks now turned platinum shine under the florescent lighting along with their pearly white teeth.

Kelly turns her head to you and flashes a smile, though it seemed quite odd you found yourself returning one nonetheless. Her perfect commercial worthy hands cover her lips as she whispers something to Lucy, the girl's face lights up at Kelly's words and she nods frantically. You try to ignore it as you grab an orange and place it on your tray.

"Hey, girl. Won't you sit with me? Table in the back of Cafeteria C, we can be friends if you want to be. But only 'til the clock hits three." she offers with an arm wrapped around your shoulders. You look up to her with confusion, why would she ask me to sit with her?

"Thanks, Kelly, but I think I'd rather just-" you try to argue, she's quick to cut you off with her devious smile.

"You're in?! Good! After lunch we can walk to class, talk about the boys that we want to smash. Talk about ways to get a little more cash but after that I'll ignore your ass." she says as she guides you towards the table of blonde headed bimbos with hourglass figures and pockets deeper than the Mariana trench.

You sit down and rest your chin in your hand, the girls all chatter on about just what Kelly said. Lucy goes on about scamming a make-up company for more products, Kelly talks about how badly she wanted to know how big Brandon was. You sigh and roll your eyes, why am I here?

You turn your head around to see Celeste, Crybaby, and Angelita staring at you with an expression you can only explain as a look of pure confusion and disgust.

"I don't want lunchbox friends, I want someone who understands." you announce, the table immediately shushes and looks over to you. Kelly scoffs before turning her head towards you. "Excuse me?" she asks with venom dripping from her tongue.

"Come to my house, let's die together. Friendship that'll last forever." You say, Kelly cringes at your words and huffs a deep breath. "What is that even supposed to mean, freak?" she asks, you giggle before standing up and grabbing your tray. Your orange rolls off the plastic and onto the floor, luckily the bowl of clam chowder remains. You smile towards the girls before picking up your bowl and pouring the soup over her lap, she screams out loud before glaring at you. The fire burning behind her iris.

Suddenly a deep voice shouts from beyond the tables, you recognize the blue hair from anywhere. "Food Fight!!!" blue boy shouts before the entire student body begins to grab their ammo and take cover under tables, "You're fucking kidding me!" Kelly shouts as she grabs Fleur's hand and drags her out of the cafeteria. 

You run your way over to Crybaby where her and her friends hide under a table laughing, you find yourself comfortable next to Celeste. "That was fucking awesome! I can't believe you did that!" Crybaby praises you with a smile prominent on her face. You notice another girl joined the gang of magical women, her eyes blink into the infamous black abyss you've come to know all too well. "Good evening, miss." she says spitefully, Angelita looks over to her then back to you with a smile. "This is Magnolia, she's one of us." she says. You smile and shake her hand. "So, I've noticed!" you reply.

"Well, what do we do now? Kelly took Fleur into the dorms." Celeste says, you look over with confusion. "Why does that matter?" you ask, Crybaby inches closer to you and begins to whisper with Magnolia as Celeste answers you. "She's one of us! Just before Paris Hilton dragged you over to that monstrosity they call a table, we caught her peeling an orange not only with her mind, but in mid-air!" she says with excitement in her voice.

Crybaby suddenly grabs your hand and scurries out of cover, dragging you with her. "Good luck, bitch!" Magnolia shouts gleefully to the bi-colored hair girl with a grip tighter than bark on a tree.

Her grasp pulls you into the bathroom, as soon as the door swings closed her lips attach onto yours. Your hands run up her body to hold her face in your touch, you feel her smile into the kiss. You pull from the kiss to take a deep breath, her soft giggles follow. Her amber brown eyes stare deeply into yours. "I'm sorry." she says before pulling you in for more. 

Her hands hold onto yours as the kiss becomes sloppier by the second. It's the moments like these that you never want to end, her soft embrace and glossy lips over yours.

"This is where you guys ran to!" Angelita's voice says suddenly, you completely missed the sound of the door creaking open. Crybaby jumps away from you and you both turn to the brunette like a deer in headlights. 

"H-Hey, Elita!" Crybaby says while straightening out her dress, Angelita giggles as she closes the door behind her. "I don't care that you two are sucking face in here but I need help, I look like I sat in raspberries!" she pouts. You and Crybaby look to one another with confusion at first before simultaneously understanding and letting out an "Ohh..."

Crybaby looks over to the tampon disposal and looks back to you. "Got a quarter?" she asks, you shake your head in reply. She hums before closing her eyes and waving her hands towards the container, the door swings open only to reveal it to be empty. All three of you sigh in disappointment.

"Well, there's only one other idea I can think of but you won't like it." Crybaby says. Angelita rolls her eyes in return. "I don't care what it is, I just need help." She says, Crybaby explains to her the toilet paper trick. Angelita pouts once more before locking herself in a stall.

Crybaby sits down on the floor and looks to you, your heart begins to feel heavy as her eyes meet your own. "I'm sorry that we never have time for us." she whispers, you give her a sympathetic smile. "It's not your fault." you whisper back.

"Are you almost done? I've got to get to class." Crybaby says, Angelita lets out a frustrated groan from beyond the stall. "Bare with me here, please?" she says. Crybaby bites her tongue before looking back to you, a small note appears in hands. With all the magic she does, nothing really seems surprising anymore. She slides it your way before Angelita walks out of the stall with a purple jacket wrapped around her waist.

"Where'd that come from?" you ask, Angelita blushes before answering. "Just a little something I whipped up!" she walks her way to the sink and washes her hands. "I think we forgot about world war three out there." you announce as the shouting suddenly grows louder. Crybaby and Angelita look to you with wide eyes full of worry. "Whoops?" They say in unison.
