Dinner Banquet (Pt. 2)

When the bell signaling the end of the last period rang I left the classroom as fast as possible. I made my way to my locker while enduring the normal kicks and insults that I have become numb to at this point. 

As I turn the corner I get a glimpse of Jordan leaning against my locker. Of course, he's flirting with the girl at the locker next to mine who can't help but fall for his charm. 

Jordan sees me approaching and tells his goodbyes to the girl who runs away, probably off to gossip with her friends and brag about having just had a conversation with the one and only Jordan Wallace. 

"Naomi!!! I've missed you!" Jordan yells as he practically tackles me into a hug. I shove him off me and roll my eyes, patting down my now wrinkled shirt. 

"Jordan I saw you at lunch 3 hours ago" I exclaim at his dramatic antics. 

Jordan clutches at his chest like he has been shot. He gasps and falls to his knees and calls out "You pain me! Have you not missed me in that time? Three whole hours is too long to be without you, my dear Naomi!!" 

As I am contemplating what to do with the mess of a guy sitting in front of me, I see Declan approaching from down the hall. I let out a sigh of relief. 

"Declan! Tell Jordan to stop being dramatic, it's embarrassing to watch." 

Declan glares at Jordan, "What are you doing? Get up and stop embarrassing Naomi! You should know better!" 

Jordan pouts at the two of us from his position on the floor, "Wow, how dare you insult the art of dramatic acting like that! I am ashamed to be friends with you."

With a shake of my head, I reply, "Oh, don't get me wrong, I support the arts one-hundred percent! I just don't support any dramatic arts that include you."

As Jordan once again lets out a gasp and clutches at his chest, Bennett appears from around the corner looking as intimidating as usual to the other students. To me, he just looks bored and looks like he would rather be anywhere else but here. 

Bennett arrives at my locker and freezes before Jordan who is half lying on the floor. He stands there for a minute staring at Jordan who sheepishly stares back at Bennett.

The two just continue to stare at each other for a solid minute before Bennett lets out a sigh and gives his head a slight shake, probably wondering how he became friends with Jordan of all people. 

"I don't want to know what's going on so don't even bother telling me," he utters to us. Then he looks straight at me.

"Naomi, are you ready to go?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are you two going? Why wasn't I invited?!" 

"I have another Frazier family dinner to attend and Naomi is coming with me," Bennett replies casually to Jordan. 

Jordan looks stunned, "Okay, let me reiterate, why wasn't I invited?!" 

Declan nods his head in shame, obviously upset that he's agreeing with Jordan for once, "I'm gonna have to side with Jordon on this one, where's our invite?" 

Bennett stares straight ahead not wanting to meet anyone's eyes, "Be grateful you're not getting dragged into this. Trust me, I don't want to be going. If I had a choice I would go alone, but Bentley tends to make my life more difficult than needed." 

Jordan and Declan look at him confused as to what that means. Bennett continues to stare into space, unwilling to elaborate. Not wanting to leave Jordan and Delcan clueless, I decided to fill them in on the call and everything that happened this morning.
