said “Mom”. We both almost fell apart laughing at that for some reason, but collected ourselves quickly when we saw Courtney looked irritated we weren’t listening to her when we were apparently supposed to be.
She turned back to the other girls and continued “Yeah, it was really embarrassing, but funny you know? I tried to help clean them up but…” She shrugged as if at a loss, and the other girls looked at me sympathetically and one whose name I learned during introductions earlier but forgot, spoke up “I would be sooo embarrassed if I did that in front of Noah, but he is such a nice guy for such a hottie!”
Whattt??? Courtney hadn’t tried to help me, had she? Now here she was playing the… I don't know what part she was playing but it made me feel slightly less hungry.
The lone boy at the table, Jake had his arm slung around another girl Kelly’s shoulder, shrugged, took a bite of his apple and purposefully with his mouthful said "You think Noah cared? Men get food all over themselves all the time." And with that he let little bits of apple come out of his mouth as he was talking, into his girlfriend's hair.
She elbowed him and started swatting her hair as she whined "Ew, seriously Jake your disgusting. I should have appreciated us having a separate lunch than you last year a little more".
Now he pretended to look hurt and everyone laughed. Courtney changed the subject to pep rally which was next Friday and the other girls at the table got deep in excited discussion about the final touches on their routine, even Lindsey who was unable to participate. That gave me plenty of time to look around. Lots of curious faces smiles at me, a few walking by stopped to introduce themselves, and Stacey turned to me for a second and cleared things up for me by reminding me that I was big news here at school. I excused myself to the bathroom and that’s when I saw there was an outside student lunch area which was pulling me towards it and I was regretting wearing jeans so I couldn’t take full advantage of the sun.
I sat on an empty bench, laid my head back, and closed my eyes, letting the sun touch my face and warm me. Before I was ready, the bell rang and startled, I opened my eyes. Noah was standing in front of me with a confused look on his face.
“ Jeez! You scared me!”
“ Could you not sleep last night because you were thinking about me?” He teased, his face turning into a lopsided smile.
I rolled my eyes and went to reach next to me for my schedule of classes but it was gone. Before I could panic he waved the paper in front of me.
“ Litterbug”.
I rolled my eyes again and snatched it as I stood up, he didn’t move, so now he was so close I could smell him breathing and was struck by it. He was so lucky I’m not a vampire for now. He snapped me out of my daze by saying “You should really get your eyes checked out. It’s not normal for them to roll around like that”. I couldn’t help it, I rolled them again. He shook his head and started walking away from me towards the building. “You better follow me” he called without turning around “or you’re going to be late to Mrs. Buck’s class and she doesn’t take that lightly, I’ll show you the way”.
I followed him along, now we were really getting looked at from other students. I figured as much. He attracts attention. He slowed in front of a door, and after looking at my schedule I was sad to see we were there already. “See you in English class”. He winked and walked way before I could even say thanks. I looked back at my schedule for English class, which was last period. I walked in and handed my schedule to the teacher who had apparently gotten warning I was coming because she greeted me with a textbook, syllabus and seat assignment. I walked by Stacey and another girl from our lunch table and Stacey grinned “You ditched us at lunch for Noah? I didn't think he had our
