The rest of class was boring. Mrs Wilson just kept going through the rules, over and over again.

Ugh, we get it
We ask you if we need to leave
We don't speak when you speak
We don't come late – she stared at Noah and Jarred while saying this

"Hope!!!" someone shouted

English had thankfully finished early, and so I was walking to my math class, that Emma had directed me to, multiple times. I am so grateful for her.

"Hope wait up!!!" I turned to face the voice.

"Hey Noah, what's up?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you wanted to sit with me and the boys at lunch. We have one spare spot and it's got your name written all over it" he smiled at me, waiting for an answer.

"Um thanks, that's really sweet of you, but if there's only one spot, I don't wanna ditch Emma. But your always welcome to come sit with us, the more the merrier"

I hope he's not upset

His smile only increased "you are something else" he mumbled, more to himself then me "I'll see you around Hope" and then he left.

okayyyyyyyy, that was weird
--------------------------------------------------
Maths was boring as usual. Emma and I met up after class by my locker, which was coincidently 2 lockers away from hers. We then decided to go to the cafeteria, to get some food.

"So, what's the best food here?" I asked

"Honestly, it's all really good. Except for the mash potatoes, stay away from the potatoes. I got them once and there was a dead fly in it, and another guy got sent to the hospital for food poisoning from it" she wrinkled her nose up in disgust.

"Well, that's gross" I laughed "anyway, what are you getting?"

"A burrito. You?"

"Same. Can you get me one and I'll pay you back?" I asked

"Yeah sure. I'll meet you by the tree we sat at this morning?"

"Ok" I answered. I turned around and headed towards the front of the school.

I made it outside, when someone gently grabbed my wrist. I swear I jumped 3 feet in the air, before turning to see Noah standing tall and smiling sheepishly.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" he laughed

"No, it's ok" I giggled

"Well, I was wondering if me and a couple of boys, could sit with you and Emma?"

"Of course, your always welcome to" I said smiling "but, who are 'the boys'?"

"oh, they are over there" he pointed to a bunch of jocks, with girls surrounding them "it kind of gets annoying sitting with all the guys sometimes"

"oh, why's that?"

"Well, they are always either making out with girls, or flirting with them"

"Sounds fun" I joked "anyway, we're gonna sit by that tree over there" I pointed "I'll be back in a sec"

Emma's POV
I made it outside with the 2 burritos safely in my arms, when I noticed Hope talking to Noah.

Oh no
I think she got just into the popular group
I mean I wouldn't be surprised
Oh no
Noah just pointed to his table
The table where all the popular people sit

I came back to reality, when I noticed Hope walking towards me.

Oh no
She's coming to tell me she can't sit with me anymore
And she's never going to pay me back for this burrito
And she's gonna start bullying me
And everything will be 10 times worse then it was before
