"Watch out, girl." Jessie snickered, "You don't want to spill anything, do you?" Just as she said that she spilled her milk all over Maddy, "Oops, I'm clumsy like that." Then she took food off Maddy's tray and mushed it all over Maddy's face, laughed, and left saying, "See you later, loser."

Maddy's brown eyes looked like a ghost, and her hair was dripping with milk. Then, more milk came out of no where hitting her in the face, and food came flinging too across the park. I knew eating outside was a bad idea, Maddy thought dumping the rest of her mashed up food in the trash, no use for that anymore. This is it, I've had enough. She went behind the brick building that held all the science classes and looked down at her sweatshirt, a plain dark blue one, but she still loved it.

She heard footsteps behind her, "Hey! Are you all right?" a male's voice asked. He stepped up to Maddy, he was tall and wore an outfit like a cowboy would, boots, jeans, and a blue shirt, and to top it off a cowboy hat sitting on his head.

"Oh, um, yeah." Maddy stuttered out, "I'm fine." She slipped the knife back into her sweatshirt before the guy noticed it was in her hand."

"Well, for some reason I don't believe you. I'm Clay," he said, "What's your name?" Clay would've stretched out his hand, but he assumed she wasn't the type to touch others.

"I-I-I-I'm Maddy, nice to meet you. I'm in the Karter dorm."

"I heard it's nice. Hey, want to go get some lunch, I got a new truck and we can drive to someplace?" Maddy nodded, and Clay took her to a white truck, it looked nearly brand new-it was covered with mud, but some places you could tell it still shined. Maddy hopped into the passenger seat and Clay started the truck and pulled out of the college and drove to the closest fast food place there was, which happened to be a Taco Bell.

"It's been a while since I've been to Taco Bell," Maddy whispered, still not sure if she should trust Clay.

The next day at lunch, the usual Jessie pack came up to Maddy, who was sitting alone waiting for Clay to come, and said, "I'm surprised your eating here again. You're so clumsy, we wouldn't want anything to happen to you again."

When Jessie was going to throw her smoothie into Maddy's face, her drink was pulled out of her hand by Clay, "Hey, do I need to get you-know-who back here to teach you some manners?" Jessie glared at him and snatched her drink back and walked away.
