Girls Vs. Boys: Chapter 3
Max:
I slowly walked through the mile-long lunch line, hoping that the bell would ring before I got through it. I snorted at the thought. I knew they were going to interrogate me sooner or later, so I should just get it over with. I paid for my food and made my way across the crowded room to my friends.
I sat down in one of the old, brightly colored chairs and began eating.
Jade was chewing on a granola bar and Skylar was staring at me, waiting for me to talk.
"What?" I asked, sticking my sandwich in my mouth.
"So…" Jade dragged the "o", making the word last forever. I gave them a look and continued eating. I wasn't going to tell them anything unless they asked.
"We saw you talking to Nick," Skylar started.
I nodded.
"Why were you talking to him?" Jade questioned, taking it from Skylar.
"I ran into him in the hall and he wouldn't let me by," I told them matter-of-factly.
"Ooooooooh," they chorused in unison, and started giggling and shooting me looks. I raised my eyebrow and glanced at them questioningly, before returning to my food.
"He likes you," Skylar said, after a pause.
I scoffed and shoved a carrot into my mouth.
"Why would he like me?" I said, to no one in particular.
"Indeed, why would anyone like you?" came a nasal voice from behind. I slowly turned around and met Sara. Ooh, what a shocker.
The only reaction I gave was to roll my eyes, and she did not seem to like that.
"I mean you have horrible fashion sense and look at your hair. Did you cut it with a weed-whacker or something?" she asked, trying to provoke me.
" Look, you little-" I cut Jade off before she could finish showing off her colourful range of vocabulary to the world.
"Jade. Not helping." She smiled sheepishly and quickly put a ketchup-covered fry in her mouth to keep it occupied.
I turned slightly to face Sara. I slowly took in the hot pink barely-there shirt only going right to the bottom of her ribs. Then the black spandex shorts that was almost swimsuit bottoms.
I turned back around again and faced my friends.
"And I have horrible fashion sense?" I asked.
Skylar almost snorted milk out of her nose but luckily she covered it with her hand, and I had to thump Jade on the back to stop her from choking on another French fry.
"Why you little whore!" Sara screamed shrilly.
Suddenly, the lunch room became eerily quiet. So quiet that, if someone dropped a pen, it would echo loudly. I took my time to turn to look at her with steam practically coming out of my ears. She had no right to call me a whore.
"Me?" I asked, and got out of my chair.
"No duh," she responded, and flicked her hair. "Who else would I be talking to?" I could feel the eyes of interested spectators flick between the both of us as we exchanged words.
"How am I the whore? Do you not see what you are wearing?" I said as simply as I could, trying not to yell. She snorted.
"I know you are after Nick," Sara said smugly, and smirked at me. I stared at her for a moment before scoffing.
"I think you have finally lost your mind." I snorted, and got back to my seat. "I don't want to have anything to do with him."
I calmly put a fry into my mouth. Skylar and Jade were staring at me in shock. 'Oooo's' and 'burn's' filled the room, and when I turned around one last time to look at Sara, her mouth was hung open in shock.
"You know, if you don't close your mouth, you'll start catching flies," I told her with a smirk. "I'm sure you wouldn't like to appear like a frog, now, would you?"
She immediately snapped her jaw shut and silently stomped away, with her little posse scrambling to keep up. I turned to face my friends. We sat in silence for almost a minute then all burst out laughing.
"I- can't - believe- she- called- you- a- whore." Skylar choked out between fits of laughter. I abruptly stopped laughing and glared at the door Sara disappeared through.
I was mumbling some incoherent words when he sat down across from Skylar. Her eyes bugged out when she saw who it was.
Fang turned towards me.
"So what was that about?" he asked questioningly and raised an eyebrow. "Give them twenty minutes and rumors will be going all around the school." He shrugged, and leaned back against the chair.
I turned to look at my friends and then burst out laughing. They were sitting exactly how they were two minutes ago. They had their eyes bugged out so much I thought they would fall out onto their lunch tray, their mouths hung open in shock with forks filled with food stopped in mid-bite. Fang turned to see what I was laughing at and cracked a smile.
In all of my years of sharing the same classes with him, I have never, not once, seen him smile. It made my stomach flip.
Wait. What? I stopped laughing and scrunched my eyebrows together in confusion. Why was I feeling this way? I mean I guess he was good looking but I don't like him. I can't. That would be really stupid.
I shrugged it off and looked at my dumbfounded friends.
"Jade," I said. "Skylar." Still nothing.
"Sitting there looking like idiots is not going to do anything good for you," I tried again. Still no response. Fang looked at me enquiringly, and I sighed. Time for a new approach.
"OH MY GOSH!" I squealed. "IT'S TAYLOR LAUTNER!"
They snapped their jaws close and frantically looked around, trying to find the celebrity. Seeing the expressions on their face when they realized he wasn't here made me burst out laughing again.
People were now starting to stare but I just couldn't stop laughing. Both of my friends along with the extra, unwanted guest were looking at me like they were ready to drag me off to the nut house.
I, with much difficulty I might add, calmed myself down and stopped laughing. I took a few deep breaths and then turned back to Jade and Skylar.
"That was hilarious!" I told them. They just looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"What?" I asked. Skylar nodded slightly in the direction of Fang. I shrugged and continued eating, seeing that, with all the drama, we only had like 3 minutes until our next class.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
I was walking towards my house when I heard my name being called. I stopped and looked around but saw nothing. So I continued strolling along at a lazy pace. Once again I stopped on account of my name being called. Though this time when I looked I saw someone jogging towards me. Someone with a long black head of hair and almost black eyes. I groaned inwardly and turned back around picking up the pace.
"Max!" he yelled again, but this time he sounded closer to me.
"Crap, crap, crap," I whispered to myself, as he was quickly closing the distance between us no matter how fast I walked.
He slowed down once he was next to me.
"Hey," Fang said. He seemed out of breath.
I turned my head slightly to let him know I was listening and did nothing more than that.
"Well I don't usually do this considering it is the first day and all…" he started, and ran his hand through his hair.
Wow, Mr. Silent Fang was babbling. I cut him off.
"If you're going to ask me out then I'm just going to stop you right there." I turned into my driveway leaving a very confused Fang behind me.
