Let's Play a Love Game

Chapter 4

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry everyone! Especially you Shelby. I literally JUST got my computer back today from the computer shop. I had a bunch of things on my computer and it was being weird so I had to go and get it fixed and didnt get it back for a while :/ I hope you all can forgive me? So, so, so, so sorry. 

“You okay Hannah?” I asked. She looked really pissed but she simply nodded. I gave her a slight reassuring squeeze and she made her way over to the lying, cheating douchebag. I was curious as to what Zayn had to say but then heard my name being called in the background. A bubbly blonde was skipping her way towards me with a big smile plastered on her face.

“El! I was looking all over for you! Guess what?”

“Haha well I’ve been here, dying of starvation. Whats up, Lou?”

“Well, the most amazing thing has happened. You know Selena?” I simply nodded, urging her to go on.

“I did her hair and makeup for her date with Justin and her mom was really amazed and she knows someone from Teen Vogue or maybe it was Vogue, I cant remember. Anyway, she recommended me to her and she really liked my style and I got an internship there!”

“Oh my gosh, really? That’s great! Yeah, and its all thanks to…that wonderful girl right there.” As Lou finished her sentence, I saw a pretty head walking towards us. She had on a bright smile and her white teeth made her even prettier then she already was. She was fit and skinny and she was rocking a tank with a plaid shirt over it. Selena was one of those girls that could fit both the girly profile and the tomboyish one.

“Hey girly, Lou just told me what you did for her. You’re such an awesome friend.” I beamed at her and I saw genuine happiness in her eyes. Selena’s been a bit down lately but she hasn’t told anyone why. My bets are on her breakup with Justin and being the jerk he is, he’s already with Miley. What a jerk.

“Well did you guys get your lunch yet?” Both girls shook their heads and I stealthily snuck them into line with me. We talked and caught up with each other while we slowly moved up the line. By the time we reached the food, my stomach sounded like a dying whale and I was receiving weird looks from everyone, boys included which didnt help the fact that I was still single. I always imagined myself to living alone with my 36 cats and 1 goldfish named Billy Bob.

I grabbed a red plastic tray and moved down the buffet line. At the first sight of a greasy pepperoni pizza, I made a dive for it, leaving a scared football player slowly backing away from me. But what did I care, I was already used to the lack of male attention, no use in trying now right? Once I was satisfied with what I had on my tray, which consisted of fries, a slice of pizza, a cup of fruit, and a water bottle (hey, I still have to eat a bit healthy), my eyes found Lou and Selena already in line to buy their food. Not waiting to wait in line, I tried to move my way up the line but I was stopped by a someone by the name of Tom, Tom Daley.

“Hey El, you aren’t trying to cut in front of the line are you?” He gave me a cheeky smirk, causing me to roll my eyes.

“Of course not, why would you think that?” I looked at him as if he was completely out of his mind.

“But you know, if you would let me, could I cut in front of you?” I batted my eyelashes like those flirty girls did to get what they want. Hopefully it would work for me. And much to my surprise, it did.

“Fine, just this once.” He takes a step back and makes a gentlemanly gesture like the ones they do in princess movies.

“Thank you kind sir.”

“Anything for you, m’ lady.” For as long as I could remember, Tom had a crush on me. Everyone knew it, including me. Sad to say, Tom was just a really good friend to me, no feelings for him whatsoever. I didn’t want to ruin our friendship, we’ve been friends for the longest time. When he asked me out last year, I rejected him and I felt bad. But I do know one thing; Tom will find an amazing girl that’ll make him happy.

For what seemed like eternity (when in reality, it was only 5 minutes), I finally got to the cash register and paid for my food. Sadly, Lou had to take her lunch to the art room for some big project she had to get working on. I met Selena at the end of the line and we walked towards our table together. What we saw was definitely unpleasant.

Sitting there, lip locked like their lives depended on it, were Justin and Miley. Justin sat with his back towards us and Miley in his lap, sucking away at his face.  Before I could do anything, Selena saw the monstrosity happening before us. I felt Selena tense up beside me but like the champion she is, she set her plate down on the other end of the table.

I knew Justin was doing this on purpose. His head turned slighty and I saw him look at Selena as she passed by. He was probably pissed and angry at Selena for breaking up with him and he was using Miley as retaliation, how immature.

She set down her tray and I did the same right next to her. The only difference was that I didn’t look like I was about to burst into tears. I saw tears on the rim of her eyes but I handed her a napkin to wipe them away. I hope she can get through this… 

The whole lunch period, Justin and Miley sat there, making out and I could tell everyone was uncomfortable but we still managed to carry on a separate conversation. I let out a sigh of relief when I heard the bell ring, signaling the end of lunch. The two "love birds" finally broke apart and gave each other love eyes. Yuck.

I looked at Selena and she had a look of indifference on her face as she picked up her tray to throw away. I walked with her to the trashcan and hooked arms with her. She gave me a sad smile and I smiled back. We headed off to our next class which was geography. Oh great, my favorite class of the day. Note the sarcasm. 

As we were walking, I realized I hadnt seen Hannah the whole lunch after she left with Zayn. I wonder whats going on there....

And sorry for the bad chapter.  I wrote this a while ago but then the whole computer thing happened and yeah...
