The Bad Boy's Resistance

Chapter 3 - Know My Name

*Riiing*

The lunch bell. It was the most pleasing sound I've heard all day. After sitting through a triple period of Spanish, I was tired, hungry and if hear "Z is pronounced as S." one more time, I'm gonna punch Senorita Gonzales in the throat. 

I met up with Lola at our lockers. Where she was packing away here book. 
I lean up against my locker, tired. 

"Please take me to lunch Lola before I collapse." I say holding my stomach
"Come on hungry belly, I'll take you to the lunch room. And you can meet my friends."

Lola took me into a grand hall like setting with buffet style food and decorated tables and chairs.

"This is where you all eat? It looks like a reception hall."

Lola nodded in agreement. "That's the Riverton way."

She lead me to a table not too far from the middle, that was just a little off to the left but not completely in the corner.

The great thing about having a best friend in the restaurant business? You never have to buy food. Lola's mother always sends extra with her. Chicken alfredo. Yummm. 

Just then a guy with trimmed black hair in a cashmere sweater, folded jeans and blue toms grabbed a seat next to Lola. 

"So the rumors are true Lola." he started "Word on Riverton street is that you brought us a new play toy." He says saucily whipping his head over to me.

"Nova this is my friend Andrew. Excuse his abrasiveness, he's too gay to function and doesn't know how to use his manners." She glares at him.

"Excuse Lola's rudeness sweetie. I'm Andy." He gracefully sticks his hand out to shake mine. He had a gently grip. And graced me with a smile every chance he got.

"Nice to meet you Andy I'm Nova."

"Oh I know who you are. Everyone's talking about the mystery girl that put Ms. Manson in her place. Excellent work darling."

Wow I didn't know people had been talking about it. All I did was correct  her on my name. I guess word travels fast here.

"Where are the girls?" Lola asks Andy.

Girls?

"They should be right - here." Andy finishes as three girls walk up to the table and all take seats.

"Hey you're the new girl that told off Ms. Manson." one of the girls states. "Job well done my friend." she finished bobbing her head in agreement.

" Nova sweetie, this redheaded glamazon is Ellie. The dark haired girl is Alissa and the bony bottle blonde right there is Piper."
"The blonde sent a shooting glare towards Andy but he just smiled in response. 

"Lola have you given Nova the lowdown on the Riverton Prep students yet?" Ellie asks. 

"Where do I even start?" Lola responds 

After Andy and the girls had given me the cover to cover update on everyone and everything in the school. I realized this place has more drama than an Indian soap opera.

From the distance I hear a melodious laugh. Its him, mystery guy, talking and laughing with his friends. Strange how I can recognize his laugh over all the talking in the cafeteria. Maybe its because his voice has been embedded in my head since I first heard it.

"Who are they?" I asked casually, indicating his table of friends with a nod of my head.

"Oh no sweetie, you don't wanna know them. Those guys are bad news." Andy warns sticking his salad.
