03: what the heck just happened?
"So, I see you've met Ivy, Nyeema," Luca smirks as he sits down at the lunch table.
Today, me and Aurelia met up before lunch and joined Ivy and Ryan at their table. Myles and Luca, who I've realized are always together, spotted me and invited themselves over.
Myles and Luca sat across from each other at the end, next was me and Aurelia on one side and Ryan and Ivy on the other; me and Ivy across from each other on the outside. Luckily, they all seem to get along really well.
"Yeah, we met yesterday," I took a drink from my carton of chocolate milk. I don't think I'll ever get used to Standal High's food.
"How'd you guys meet, though? Ivy here usually avoids all living creatures," Luca laughed.
"We called each other a bitch," Ivy chuckled, ignoring his insult.
"Somehow that's very on brand for the both of you," Myles concluded, settling himself next to Ryan.
After I introduced Aurelia to the group, we all joined in playful banter, somehow transitioning to gossip.
"Hey, did you here that Leyla's baby-daddy Trey got Leyla's best friend Christa pregnant?" Luca asked the group, stealing one of Myles fries which caused him to glare at his friend.
"Wow, now they're sister wives," Ivy concluded with a scoff. "But seriously, where did you hear that? Y'all are always so quick to believe rumors."
"She has a whole baby bump!" Luca defended, a few more of Myles' fries springing from his mouth.
I cringed.
"What if it's just a little chub? Don't blame the girl," Ryan pointed out, adjusting her pink lip gloss.
"Okay but, Trey told me. Plus, Leyla and Christa are known for getting around." Luca defended with a shrug.
"So? People's reputations aren't always who they are. Why don't you go ask Christa for yourself?" Aurelia turned to Luca with a smug grin.
I noticed Ivy look at Aurelia, like look look at Aurelia; a shocked and impressed grin on her face. Interesting...
"Exactly, Luca. Myles is known for being super fucking quiet and weird, but he's actually super cool." Ryan chided, looking up from her pink hello kitty phone case to smile at him.
Myles readjusted his glasses and hid his face, turning away as he visibly stiffened, causing Luca to go into another round of laughing at his friend's flustered-ness. "No, trust me, he is fucking weird."
Somehow the conversation of gossip turned to a certain tall white boy I had met yesterday. I perked my ears up while trying to remain uninterested.
"Dude, yall know Judah right? He was like, staring at Nyeema the whole day yesterday." Luca reached over and poked my shoulder.
"Well, duh, look at her. And I think they would make a pretty cute couple." Ryan smiled.
I fought a blush and tried to calm my pulse. "Yeah sure, good luck with that since he was irritating the actual fuck out of me yesterday."
