Chapter 4: Lunch and Tension

Heather woke up to find herself lying on Alejandro's shoulder and was about to beat him up but noticed he was sound asleep. She could see his chest rising slowly and thought to herself he must've done a serious workout to get that built. She turned towards Duncan and saw he was fast asleep too, as well as lightly snoring. Heather may be the tough queen bee but she loved her friends, just never admitted, except to Courtney but only on special occasions such as, birthdays, etc. But there was just something about Alejandro that got her thinking. She'd known him since freshman year when he took the throne away from Justin as the hottest boy in school. Girls would always ask him out and flock to him especially after he joined the football team along with Duncan, but at the end of the day he would always follow Heather around and pay the most attention to her. Soon girls became envious, hateful and jealous of the relationship between the two. Of course nobody would come right out and say it to the asian teen's face. No matter how much times she rejected his advances he'd still keep bothering her and she didn't know what motivated him, or just chose to not know because she herself had mixed feelings about it.

" BRIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG "

" It wasn't me wait what was that noise "

" It was just the bell Duncan " said Heather as she laughed at her friend.

" hey hey when you get out of juvie you tend to keep an ear out for any sort of alarms" replied Duncan a little embarrassed

Heather decided to wake up Alejandro somewhat surprised he hadn't woken up.

" c'mon Alejandro get up " she said as she started shaking him lightly

" alright I'm up preciosa " the now awoken Alejandro said with a yawn

" ugh what have I said about the Spanish, it's not exactly my easiest class y'kno "

" would you rather I use english than beautiful " he said getting closer to Heather

" move it Casanova some people wanna get to class early " came the now voice of Noah as he pushed through Alejandro roughly. Duncan saw this and tripped him as he walked by him.

" the word is excuse me geek "

" now, now, now Duncan I'm sure his comment was one of his sarcastic stunts he's known for no need to trip about it " Alejandro said sarcastically, and slightly irritated that he ruined his moment with Heather

Cody came up and stopped Noah from continuing and making things more worser.

" c'mon bud forget it lets go " he said

Noah took one quick glance at Heather and saw she was shaking her head.

" c'mon boys let's go " she said taking them by their arms and pulling them out of the class "

" damn geek's lucky I didn't sock him in, one is all I would need "

" let it go mi amigo no need to let a runt get to us " the calm Alejandro said patting his best friends shoulder

" yeah bro you're right anyway I'm headed this way see ya around bud, you too Heath "

This left Alejandro and Heather alone, Heather was quite uncomfortable for some reason, but wasn't gonna show it. She soon started thinking about Noah's actions. Why would he go through Alejandro like that rather than around? Did he really wanna sign his death wish by messing with the two jocks.

" hmmm "

" something wrong Heather " Alejandro asked concerned

Heather slightly jumped almost forgetting he was there. This boy affected her like no other.

" oh it's nothing just thinking "

" about me " he said, smirk fully returning as he put his arm around her shoulder

" no" she angrily retorted but did nothing to remove his arm much to his delight

" so what do you have now Alejandro I have gym " Heather said trying to make small talk

" I have history " he said, but he was currently deep in thought right now and this didn't escape her.

" what's wrong "

" just thinking " not noticing that just a second ago she had given him this same response

" about me " she said this time smirking, Heather knew too well that the roles were suddenly switched and she thought this was one of his flirt games, and decided to play along .

"Yes I am " he said a little to serious that it was hard for her to tell if he was joking or not, but unbeknown to her he was actually serious

" I was joking alright just continuing our game " suddenly she was turned around and pinned to the wall by her shoulders facing Alejandro.

" h-hey wha- what are you doing " the now flustered Heather said as she noticed just how close they were and realized this part of the hallway was empty

" it's not a game to me Heather " spoke Alejandro with a serious face slowly leaning closer to her

Heather was blushing intensely which was clearly noticeable to him. What was he doing? She thought and why was he making her look weak, it wasn't as if this was her first time with a boy. The seconds soon turned to hours, as he leaned down even closer it dawned on her. He wasn't just any boy he was Alejandro that's why it was like this, she'd never dealt with someone like him. He was now so close that she could feel his warm breath tickling her, many emotions flooded to her all at once. This was really happening, she was really about to get kissed by the boy every girl fell in love with. His lips were millimeters away from their target when...

" BRIIIIIIINNNMNGGG " " BRIIINNNNNG" students suddenly rushed out at the sound of the fire drill.

The two quickly broke apart staring at anything but each other while students were being calmed by the faculty staff.

" attention students please ignore the fire drill and commence with your schedules because apparently this appears to be some game to the culprit now caught red-handed " came a stern strict voice through the speakers

" right you heard the box, lets go to our class beauti-... uh Heather "

Alejandro said deciding to break the tension.

" uh yeah let's um go " the still blushing Heather replied.

...

The day was going pretty slowly for Gwen but soon she found herself at her lunch period to which she was pretty nervous about. Just as expected the lunch was filled with piles of students everywhere she looked. Many were at the lunch line, others were cutting the lunch line, at the vending machines, already sitting, talking with the security guards, making out, and other hectic stuff. It went from nerds, to skaters, to uptight people, rich kids, popular girls, and all sorts of other cliques. Where can Gwen sit when she hardly knew anybody.

" hey Hannah over here " called out a blonde girl from the center table.

" Lindsay for the millionth time it's Heather " replied the girl known as Heather to the other girl whom she figured out was Lindsay.

" I've missed you Hilary! So how was France? Did you miss me? Any good malls there? How are your relatives?

" I missed you too, I didn't go to France I went to Florida, malls are like here, and they couldn't be better " finished Heather with an exasperated look

The first thing Gwen noticed was that Heather was very pretty and had a face that intimidated her. Her eyes followed Heather and noticed a familiar boy walk up to her laughing all the way there.

" Ahahaha yo H-bomb you see that little prank I pulled with the fire alarm "

" Duncan how are you still alive I was pretty sure principal Rogerson would've killed you by now "

" Heather I'm ashamed that you wouldn't think that I used a freshman to take my fall,and here I thought we were pals " he said feigning hurt

" haha same old D you still got it " laughed Heather and she laughed even harder when Courtney arrived and hit him on his head knocking him to the ground.

" Daahhhh! ow god damn it princesses lighten up it was just a goof " he said rubbing his bump

" well it wasn't funny Duncan "

Gwen laughed at the sight, and saw as Courtney gave a high five to that Heather girl to which both smiled brightly. It was a little surprising to Gwen seeing sweet-loving Courtney talk to that sneaky looking girl but she could see that they looked like close friends.

Courtney must of spotted Gwen because she called her over and Gwen hesitantly went towards her. As soon as she reached her Courtney embraced her.

" hey there Gwen so I see you have lunch now, well why not sit with us"

Gwen took a look at her table and noticed it contained Courtney, Duncan, Heather, Lindsay, and had a few more vacant spots.

" who's she? " asked Heather

" she's Gwen and she's new so I thought we'd let her sit with us "

" umm Courtney this is the POPULAR table and I don't think it'll be a good idea letting new girl just sit here just like that "

" hey easy Heather she's my friend "

" Courtney this is why I don't care about new kids because you get clung too, hassled and followed around by them "

" so is that why you talked to Alejandro " whispered Duncan to another boy who had recently showed up and heard the dispute

The two started snickering until they were hit on the head by Heather who apparently heard Duncan's " not so quiet whisper "

" OWW " yelped out both boys

" fine whatever let her sit "

Gwen could tell she wasn't gonna like Heather, and had a feeling Heather felt the same.

" Hey Heather I'm glad your back though were not Team Awesome without you " said the other boy who was now rubbing his head.

" oh no please don't " thought Heather

" So how was Florida? Did you miss me? Any hot gir-...er sport stores out there? How are your relatives doing? He asked with caution seeing as how his girlfriend was sitting next him.

Sigh " great, yeah actually I did, I didn't go to Florida for sports, and they couldn't be better " Heather said annoyed.

" hey you missed him but not me " remarked Duncan

" so um Gwen huh, well I'm Tyler and this here is my babe Lindsay "

" nice to meet you guys " Gwen said shyly

" yea were known as Team Awesome " Tyler said grinning

" I told you were the Knuckle Bomb Group " retorted Duncan

" uh don't you think were to old to do the whole join the club thing " Heather said

" it's not a club thing were a squad that's what we are, not a sissy ass club they're two different things right princess " Duncan countered

Gwen shuddered a little at the nickname and felt a twinge of jealousy spread in her.

" oh Heather there's nothing wrong with us being a team although it is slightly childish " added Courtney

" yea all were missing is Alejandro, Owen, and DJ and we'll be set " Duncan said proudly

Heather couldn't help but remember the little moment with Alejandro and blushed.

" I'll be right back "

Meanwhile at another part of the lunch sat another group of kids.

" O M G Cody we picked out the same lunch " squealed out a girl

" actually Sierra you just copied what I got " came the reply of Cody

Then he saw her. A beautiful girl sitting right next to Courtney.

" hey Noah who's that girl over there " he asked his friend

" well Cody that depends there's a lot of girls over there " replied the sarcastic boy

" her I don't think I've seen her around before " he said this time pointing to her

" oh I think that's the new kid " he said bored

Noah's eyes suddenly spotted Heather going to the vending machines and she wasn't with Alejandro for once.

" I'll be right back "

Heather put a dollar into the machine and pushed the little button for the soon to be her chocolate bar to fall down. To her luck the machine got jammed and the candy layed stuck.

" what did you just eat my dollar you freaking machine "

" are you seriously arguing with a machine "

" What did you just- oh it's you what are you doing here " Heather said as she realized Noah was standing behind her

" probably doing what everybody does when they go to the vending machines " he said as he put a dollar into the machine

" ugh whatever " and soon the chocolate bar she wanted was dangled in her face

" here "

" huh? "

" when I picked my selection it sort of hit yours on the way down and chocolate really isn't me "

" uh wow thanks " she said as he placed the candy in her hands, and he let his hands linger there for a while content that she had let out a small smile.

That's soon how Alejandro spotted them, with Heather's hand outstretched and Noah placing his hand in hers. What was this he was feeling as he saw this, and why was she talking to him? He never saw them talking before.

Heather soon noticed Alejandro staring at them with an unreadable face. She removed her hand quickly just as Noah followed her gaze towards Alejandro.

" later " Noah said leaving Heather

She walked up towards him just as Alejandro was walking away.

" Alejandro wait up, we were all wondering where you were at, and I was just about to look for you "

" was that before or after you got your little candy " he said still wearing the same unreadable expression

" Nooo it was just that I...wait are you jealous haha no way " laughed Heather but stopped when she realized he wasn't laughing

All this time Alejandro was also thinking of the earlier incident with Noah. He too wondered why Noah had pushed through him and didn't just go around. While he was walking with Heather he was starting to think Noah just didn't like him. But it still didn't make sense seeing as how he'd never done anything to him. Unlike Duncan he didn't go around bullying kids. Until it then dawned on him, it wasn't about him it was about Heather and seeing them together now only further increased his suspicions. Of course he knew loads of boys had a thing for Heather but she always rejected them especially the non-popular ones, and yet here she was actually talking to one. It made him boil with rage, she was his and no one can have her...wait what was he even thinking did he really love Heather. It seemed like that was the only explanation. A warm hand to his shoulder soon woke him up from his thoughts.

" hey Alejandro are you okay you've been acting a little different "

" I'm fine preciosa sorry for worrying you " he said smirking

" I wasn't worried " Heather said blushing

" your cute when you blush you know that "

" uuugh lets just go alright "
