The Girl With Many Names

▪︎ Chapter Two ▪︎

"Okay, so we'd start from where you have your next class" Clover started as soon as we left our Chemistry class. We went through the library, the cafeteria, the gym, other rooms where I had my classes, the school hall and other places. It was a big school after all.

We finished our tour just in time for our next class which we didn't have together. My class was on the other side of the school, so walking there took me quite sometime. Luckily, I wasn't late. I got there prior to my teacher's arrival at least. This class was just as noisy as the last. The teacher came in seconds later and the class began.

I'd never wanted a class to end so badly as I did my last class before recess. I was hungry because I didn't have breakfast that morning and my teacher, Mr. Brown was a middle aged man who was hardly audible. It was so frustrating and boring not to mention tiring because my stomach kept grumbling, which is why I had already gathered my stuff five minutes to the end of the class and as soon as the bell rang, I immediately left the class. Right after the teacher, of course.

Funny thing is...I think I forgot the way to the cafeteria. I knew it was on the other side where I had my first period but I totally forgot where the cafe was. So there I was again, wandering like a lost sheep, a very hungry one at that, too shy to ask for directions.

I had wandered for a few minutes before I finally found it. I did a quick scan of the cafe to see if Clover was already there, but she wasn't so I walked straight to an empty table and began to eat my lunch. My eyes kept wandering to the entrance to the café so I could spot Clover as soon as she entered and wave her over.

After some minutes, she hadn't come, so I gave up. My attention was brought back up from my food when there seemed to be a commotion. I looked up to see a group of three boys and two girls, one of which I recognised from my Chemistry class, walk in. Were they the cause of the commotion?

"Oh, Steve looks even better than he did yesterday" I heard a girl tell her friends from the table next to mine.

"I know right, even Peter looks hotter" her friend sighed "I'd so go out with both of them".

"Yeah, in your dreams. They'd never ask you out"

"I know" she sighed dejectedly "tough luck".

"I don't know about Peter but Thomas definitely has my heart" another friend said "He's hot and nice"

"Nah, I like bad boys like Steve" the first one said.

"I think we can all agree that Blake is the hottest and the nicest" said another one.

"Definitely" they all agreed.

Okay, seems these boys had lots of admirers and I'm guessing the girls do too.

"Of course they do" Clover replied suddenly appearing in front of me. I didn't even notice her come in.

"What? Did I say that out loud?" I asked Clover.

"Yep" she replied.

"When did you get here?" I asked.

"Like 2 minutes ago when your entire focus was on the cause of the commotion"

"Who are they?" I asked "Why did their entrance create such a ruckus?"

"Oh, they are members of the basketball team" she started to explain "The boys, of course"

"Steve Harper, the blonde one is the captain, Peter Harrington, the brown haired one is the deputy and Thomas Freeze is also on the team. They're all best friends so they move around school together. As you can see, they're basically eye candy so yes, they do have lots of admirers. The two girls are Cynthia Bells and Stacy Flinn. They're your typical high school mean girls and they're also cheerleaders. They stick around those three like parasitic flies on a host." She finished making me laugh.
