Then came lunch after English, which was always interesting. I sat in my normal spot in the Cafeteria. It was the spot in the corner barely anyone sat at so it was perfect. Layla walked up behind me when I sat down. She handed me a bag that contained my lunch. She packed my lunch every morning, and she got rides whenever she wants as long as I wasn’t busy in return.

            “What’s for lunch today?” I asked as she sat next to me. She reached into her bag and pulled out a sandwich.

            “Well here we have a ham and cheese sandwich, and some Pringles. For desert we have some of my mom’s homemade chocolate chip cookies.”She said using her best game show host voice.

            “That sounds delicious.”I said opening the bag that my sandwich was in. I took a huge bite of it and out if nowhere Joey showed up.

            “Can I join you ladies for lunch?” He asked. I wanted to answer, but my mouth was full. I bumped Layla and nodded when she looked over.

            Luckily she got my message and said, “Yes you can. My friend is having little problem with words, and eating right now.”

            I swallowed and turned to her. “Really Layla, do you have to say that?” I said glaring at her. Then I turned to Joey. “Sorry if she offends you in any way. She tends to do that, a lot.” I looked at her and stuck my tongue out at her.

            “Its fine I think I can manage sitting at the same table as her.” He said as he sat down next to me.

            “Wait a second! Maya isn’t that your new lab partner in chemistry? You know the one you think is cute.” Layla said extremely loud and obnoxiously. I was just glad she didn’t yell.

            My face turned bright red and I casually ate a chip, and stared at the table. Sometimes Layla is a little slow. I slowly turned to see Joey smiling at me.

            “So, you think I’m cute? Are you sure it wasn’t sexy or gorgeous?” He said with a slight laugh. He was adorable. I knew he was trying to make me blush. I just wish I could resist it and not blush. Of course being me I had to turn bright red again. I had a big stupid smile on my face.

            “What do you think?”I asked trying to see his opinion.

            “Hey I’m still here you love birds.” Layla said waving her hands above her head. Then out from behind her Zane covered her eyes.

            “Guess who?” He whispered. Zane was her boyfriend he had longer brown hair that swooped above his eye, and deep brown eyes.

            “Is it Zane?”She asked pretending she didn’t already know it was him. He uncovered her eyes and greeted her with a kiss.

            “You guys are so cute together.” I said. Even though I always felt awkward around them I supported their relationship. That might change if I got anywhere with Joey.

            “Thanks Maya! Who’s your man friend?” Zane asked implying that Joey and I are dating.

            “Zane this is Joey. Joey this is Zane. Joey is my lab partner in chemistry.”I said. They shook hands. Then I finished eating when the bell rang. I threw away my garbage and was about to leave the cafeteria when Joey stopped me.
