IN LOVE WITH HIM

Chapter Ten

#unedited#

  I headed towards the cafeteria and sat at our usual table, I was surprised to see Adrian and Justin at our table, I was aware of the glares and stares girls sent our way which made me uncomfortable and feel self conscious but the most surprising thing was that the rest seemed not to notice, I could hardly eat under the burning gazes of most people in the cafeteria and I ended up picking at my food.

"Ava, what's wrong? You've be smiling for quite a while now and you've hardly touched your food" Audrey pointed out.

"Huh?"

"What are you smiling at?" She asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just remembered something" I lied hoping she wouldn't push it further even I had no idea why I was smiling.

As usual Audrey and Justin were bickering and the worst thing was that they were arguing about who's more stupid, while Adrian and I were quietly eating stealing glances at each other from time to time.

I saw Natalie and her minions walking over, yeah you've never heard of her before she's the school Queen bee.

Am I dreaming?

"No you're not" Adrian replied flatly.

Did I say that out Loud?

Yeah you did, isn't that obvious?

  Natalie and her minions had arrived at out our table, she looked like a barbie doll with way too much makeup, tight clothes that showed her cleavages and ended at her mid thigh.

How are these clothes even allowed in school?

  "Hey Audrey!"

  "Hi Avril!"
She said smiling as soon as she got to our table.

"It's Ava" I corrected with an eye roll, Gosh! We've been taking classes with me for about seven years, and she doesn't even know my name.

Wait!! What is she even doing here in the first place? We've never even talked before and here she is acting all friendly like we've known for years, I glanced at Audrey her expression mirrored mine, she was giving her a quizzical look like she had grown two heads.

  "Sorry about that" She said with a forced smile, twirling a few strands of her hair within her fingers.  "I see you've got company here" she said gesturing to Adrian smiling flirtatiously batting her eyelashes "mind if you introduced me?" She said a little too sweetly.

  Oh! That's why, it's Adrian she came for.

"Well he does have a mouth, you can introduce yourself" Audrey said bluntly.

"You're so rude, I just wanted to help since you're stuck with this lonely bitch that looks like she cannot say a word" she said in her unusually loud voice looking at me with pure hatred, I flinched and plopped against my chair, looks like she has personal scores to settle with me.

The whole cafeteria went silent, fixing their attention on our table, it's not like they weren't looking before with Adrian here after the Queen bee decided to walk to our table they stopped eating obviously waiting for a drama to unfold.

Audrey leapt to my defence immediately.

  "Mind your language, besides if there's anyone that should be called a bitch then it's you and one more thing, I didn't say I needed your help it's not like I'm some charity case, I'll rather prefer her or no one, than put up with an annoying bitch like you" Her voice was high and unwavering, she seemed overly confident.

Justin started clapping, Natalie shot him a death glare and he stopped immediately.

  "I forgot you don't deserve any bit of my time, you can go to hell for all I care!" She fired back and they both started glaring at each other, none of them looked like they were gonna back down easily.
