Chapter 2-
I could have killed her; I should have killed her. Right then, and there, just strangled her. But I couldn't. I couldn't even move.
Everyone was looking at Callie; at us. Her jaw was still dropped, her arm still pointed in my direction.
"You totally do!" Callie insisted, "You've been staring at him!"
"What? What are you talking about?" I asked, still baffled. Was it that obvious? Sure I was staring, but…
"C'mon Lauren," Callie said with a disbelieving smirk.
"I… I…" I could feel the tears coming.
"I'm not stupid, Lauren." Callie said.
"Ye-yes you are!" I screamed at Callie. Then, I dashed out of the cafeteria.
"OMG! YOU LIKE DANNY TRAVIS?" I can't believe that just happened. Oh my God. Everyone turns to look at Callie Holt, the girl who screamed my name. She's pointing at Lauren Graham, and Lauren looks startled.
Haley looks up at me and mouths, "What is she talking about, Danny?"
"I don't know," I mouth back, looking around the cafeteria at the others. They keep looking at Lauren, then me, and back to Lauren. Suddenly, she flies out of the room, and the murmuring begins.
"What was that about?"
"I don't know, Lauren I guess."
"Looks like you have an admirer, Danny."
"Uh oh, you got competition Haley."
"Lauren is such a nerd, too."
"Yeah, I know."
"Ooh Danny!" And once one annoying person said that, the entire cafeteria was "oohing" my name. Haley, looking hurt, tried to stop them, to no avail.
"Danny is in love with a nerd!" Finally, a lunch lady, of all people, came to my rescue.
"Please, everyone, continue eating." she yelled at the crowd and they all shut up. It wasn't like it never happened, though I didn't know it yet. But I would soon.
