A/N: …Enjoy!
"Lynn Green." I raise my hand lazily. "This is…you just moved here, did you not?" I nod and she tells me to stand and go to the front of the class. "Miss Green…please tell us a little bit about yourself." I sigh and stick my hands in my pockets. I let the ear buds dangle around my neck.
"Well…My name is Lynn and I moved here from Worthing, West Sussex, England and my favorite genre of music is 70s and 80s hardcore punk. I think that people don't know what real punk is and should stop pretending they do. I hate the system and the man." I sigh and shift my weight to my heels to wait for the teacher to take over. He clears his throat and instructs me to sit, so I do so. The blonde, spiky haired boy I am sitting next to leans over and taps my shoulder. I look and he smiles. "What?"
"Hey, Lynn…I'm Freddy Jones and Cupid called. He says to tell you that he needs my heart back." I sigh and shake my head.
"That is the corniest thing I've ever heard." I chuckle and he chuckles as well.
"You want to eat lunch with me?" I nod.
"Sure…" I say with a smile. He smiles back and looks fixedly at my eyes like I look at his. The person behind him taps his shoulder to pass a note. He takes it and looks away only to read the note. He scribbles something down and passes it back. I watch it trail to a girl with long, straight, one-layered black hair. "Who's that girl?" He pauses.
"My soon to be ex-girlfriend, Summer Hathaway. I've wanted to break up with her bossy ass for a few weeks." I smile.
"Then hurry up!"
"I just did." After a small beat, Summer stands.
"How could you, Freddy?!" She storms out of the room, probably to go to the bathroom.
"What did you do, Freddy?" The teacher asks. He shrugs.
"I broke up with her, that's all! I swear!"
"How long were you going out for?" Freddy pauses and says a year in a hushed tone. "How…long, Freddy?"
"A year, but she was bossy!" Mr. Hall shakes his head and continues to teach us. Freddy passes me a note and I unfold it quietly under the desk.
I'm sorry you had to see Summer like that. I swear I was going to break up with her today and it wasn't because of you. I hope you still have lunch with me. : Freddy
I scribble:
I never thought you did that because of me and why wouldn't I want to have lunch with someone as cute as you? ; Lynn
I pass it to him and he smiles widely after he reads it.
Well, fine! If you want to go that way, then you're really hot. ;
I do wanna go that way! I'm eating lunch with you, Freddy!

I throw my Dakine backpack over my shoulders and walk out with Freddy to the lunchroom. There is the girl that was sitting behind Freddy. "Freddy…what is that girl's name?"
"Tomika. She's…kind of a loser."
"Tomika!" I yell. She looks over at me and I wave. "Tomika, come sit with me!" She walks over and says hello. "Hi, Tomika. I'm Lynn." She sits next to me.
"Thank you for inviting me to sit with you. Nobody ever does." I smile.
"That's alright! If you want…you can sit with me every lunch!" She nods and smiles. "Freddy, do you want to introduce me to your friends?" They're a small group, but that's okay.
"Alright…this is my best friend, Frankie." I smile and he smiles back. He goes around the table and introduces everyone. "Hey, we usually go to a movie on Fridays, do you want to go to one?"
"The cinema? Sure…if Tomika can come too." I look over at her. "Would you like to go?" She looks hesitant.
"Oh, come on! It will be fun!" An idea dawns on me. "You…and Freddy can stay the night!" I pull out my cell phone to text my father. "Freddy, would you like to stay the night?"
"Uh…I'll talk to my parents tonight." I nod.
"I'll ask just in case, okay?" Freddy's smile is so charming. Now that I think about it…he is cute!
