"So you're new here?" Ash asked again for what seemed like the 7th time.
"Yes." I nodded, giving a small smile.
He pursed his lips, nodding as he did. His dark, raven tresses swinging as his head moved. I gave another smile, thankful that somebody had struck up a conversation with me. As I had been walking several girls glared at me with their face contorted into angry smirks. I had no clue as of why,but I took it as it had something to do with me being a commoner.
Ash seemed to have no problem, as he was the one who came up to me in the beginning. Yet I had the strange sense that part of him did. After I had told him how I got into such a prestigious school his upbeat smile had dropped. Me, not understanding why just continued the conversation, which brought me to saying yes yet again.
"So... How'd you get into this school? You'd have to be rich to get in here." I chuckled nervously.
He stopped short, his eyes screaming 'Get this girl away from me!'
"Why? Do I not look rich to you?" he asked, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"It's not that, I was just trying to make conversation."
His lips parted slightly as if he were about to say something but quickly quelled it. He smiled again before running his fingers through his hair.
"I see." He gave a light laugh. "Well, it's simple! My parents paid tons of cash for me to get in here, and wallah!" he smiled, throwing his hands in the air.
"I seeeeeeeeeee." I said.
"Indeed you do! I'm afraid I have to go now, my friends are expecting me... Nice meeting you, Dawn."
I opened my mouth, but just closed at a loss for words. I just smiled brightly having no clue why. Turning around, I happily walked back to the building.
I had finally made a new friend.
Weird.
The only word plausible enough to fit the description of the cafeteria. I definitely was not used to such luxuries. Round, café tables scattered in neat little rows across the huge room , with four chairs each. Several large tables containing foods of different ethnicities.
I quietly slipped in taking in the surrondings. My nostrils felt like they were on overload and I was feeling slightly overwhelmed. Gripping my bento box with brute force, I swiftly walked over to a empty table near the window.
I smiled as soon as my butt hit the chair. Though I hadn't done much walking, I clearly wasn't used to my shoes. My feet ached like hell and I despreatly wanted to remove my shoes, socks and all.
Patting my triangular clips to make sure they weren't going to come loose anytime soon,I opened my bbox up. I had to smile happly ay my- our work.
I surveyed the room, staring back at the female faces that looked me up and down as if I were some piece of meat. I sighed, clearly nobody was going to approach me anytime soon. Unless...
I quickly turned my head around again, looking for Ash. No Ash, Where are you Raven tresses? Bingo.
Grabbing my lunch, I fast walked toward him.
"Ash!" I said, finally reaching him. I stopped to see he had more people with him, boys and a few girls.
He approached me, hands in his pockets as usual as a few of his guy friends crept up behind him. "Yeppers?" he asked, wide eyed.
"Could I sit with you or something? So far you're my onl-"
SPLAT!
What just happened...?
I looked down at the ground, my lunch fallen on the floor. Fuck. Why didn't I close it?
'Because you forgot.' My mind answered simply.
I looked up at the culprit and down to my ruined onigri. Then up again.
The guy had coal black eyes that seemed to stare into my soul, I looked to Ash. "Wha..?" I asked, taking a step back.
"Paul, was that reall necessary?" he asked, glancing to the purple haired man that I now know as Paul.
"What do you mean? A commoner actually asking to sit with us... thats nonsense." he answered in monotone, still staring at me.
"That was my lunch..." I said, hearing muffled laughter in the background.
"Still, simply turning down would be enough." he replyed, removing his hand from his pocket.
"What a troublesome girl." Paul muttered, looking away.
"Pick it up, that's your job right?!" a voice said from somewhere behind me, I heard excess murmurs in agreement.
Paul just smirked and walked away. Ash opened his my mouth as if he wanted to interject, but closed it.
"See ya Dawn!" Ash said, turning around to follow the guy.
I looked down at the mess and was thankful I brought a container of ramen. I nodded and knelt down, picking up the mess. No matter how much I felt like crying, I wasn't going to. It was a stupid matter to fuss about.
And... Scene! Well, I finally completed this chappie, hope it's alright. I tried to make it lengthyer but that didn't turn out so well... Anyways! I'm also working on starting other fics!
