Chapter 4: Mess Situation

Disclaimer: I don't own That 70s Show.

A/N: Heya! Hope everyone's good. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, follows and favourites. Sorry that I haven't updated in a while I was away for two weeks speaking Irish so I had no time to write and before that I was on holidays. But I'm back now and Ireland's weather is starting to get crappy again so more writing time I think. I hope you enjoy this chapter! I hope it's not too boring.

Jackie braced herself as she picked up her food tray with a tight grip and slowly turned around to face the cafeteria. Her brown eyes darted around the large room where everyone ate or hung out at. It didn't matter who you were, you were there. The cafeteria defined who you were and let everyone else know who you were. Usually, people hung out with other people with the same common interests and that's how cliques are created.

Jackie bit down hard on her lip as the thought First Impressions Were Everything whirled around in her mind. She stared to make a plan in her head on how she would go on how to spend her first lunch. She looked around with the goal to spot a certain and special table that only people with a high popularity status were allowed to sit at. The brunette found it quite quickly.

There were four cheerleaders, two blondes, a girl with light brown hair and then a girl with black hair. One of the blondes was perched on the lap of a tall boy with brown and lustrous hair. It had a sheen like fine hardwood. But that comparison wasn't entirely fair. Hardwood doesn't swish gently like his hair does; swaying with the words he speaks. A shiny varnish catches merely light around it, but the depths of that deep chestnut brown reflected all the radiance of his smile. There were three football players there along with a good-looking boy with dark hair and, to her surprise, Steven Hyde was there too.

Yes, earlier Jackie was informed that the scruffy boy was one of the popular kids but it was something she had to witness in person until it finally registered in her brain that it was indeed true. Her train of thought was stopped by a familiar voice calling her name.

The petite girl turned on her heel to see Donna from Home Ec. sitting at a table with two other boys, one familiar and one not so familiar. Jackie flashed her grateful smile as she walked elegantly over to the table. A huge weight was lifted off her shoulders and the awful feeling in the pit of her stomach relieved a little as she placed her tray of cafeteria food down on the table. This table was better than nothing. If she stood there looking like a loner any longer people would start to have a bad impression of her.

"Hey, Donna," she said happily as she sat down beside the red haired girl. She looked up to see to boys sitting across from her and Donna. "Eric, hey," Jackie added when she saw the teen that helped her earlier.

Eric opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by the teen boy that was sitting beside him, "Hello, I'm Fez," the boy with dark skin, dark hair and brown eyes said in quite a flirtatious manner as he picked up the brown haired beauty's hand and brought it to the his lips. "And you, my Goddess, are?" he placed a kiss on her hand before raising his gaze to meet Jackie's brown eyes that had bewilderment playing in them.

"Jacqueline Burkhart," Jackie said slowly as she quickly retracted her hand from the foreigner's grip. Her posture became tense from what she just experience. This guy was like none she met before. "You may call me Jackie,"

"I'm so honoured," Fez said full with glee instead of sarcasm like Eric's response to the same statement he replied to earlier. His brown eyes were now wide and sparkling with happiness as he slowly turned to Eric, who was sitting beside him. "I get to call her Jackie!" he squealed resembling a teen girl who was in the presence of Joe Perry.

Eric's eyebrows furrowed at his friend's excitement while he gently squeezed the foreigner's shoulder while he smiled tightly, "That's great, bud," he said to the very proud Fez. "Anyways, Jackie, how are you enjoying this hell hole we call school?"

Jackie shrugged her shoulders with pursed lips, "I guess it's alright. Nothing like home though," she admitted truthfully. Her high school back in Dallas was really the prefect school. It had everything and the school popularity system wasn't as backwards as the one in Point Place.

"And home is where?" Eric asked in hope to build a conversation with the new girl as he unscrewed the lid to his bottle of juice.

"Dallas, Texas," Jackie replied proudly with a bright beam playing on her lips.

"No way," he said slowly as his brain registered this brand new information. "But you don't have an accent,"

"I do I'm just not speaking in it," Jackie explained as a matter of fact.

"She has tremendous breast, no?" Fez blurted out clearly evident that he was not paying attention to the current topic of conversation.

"Fez!" Donna hissed put of disgust that he was not paying to Jackie's words instead he was looking at her breasts. She looked at her potential new friend apologetically, "I'm sorry for him. He's new . . . and not from here,"

"It's okay," Jackie said waving her hand as if it was an everyday occurrence. "They are tremendous," she added with a bright beam. "Anyways, where are you from?" Jackie asked, looking over at Fez. She noticed that the dark skinned boy talked with a very thick accent and she had no idea where it came from.

"Oh I'm from the country of-" he kept talking but the sound of a smoke detector ringing cut off his voice so the three other teens couldn't pick up on what Fez was saying.

The students in the cafeteria start to get up from their seats leaving their untouched lunches behind as a woman dressed in a hair net and rubber gloves came running from the kitchen, "False alarm!" she called before disappearing back into the kitchen and caused all the students to just shrug their shoulders and sit back down in their seats.

"Why didn't some students leave? Why didn't you leave?" Jackie questioned with raised eyebrows. That could have been a near death experience and her three new acquaintances just acted as if it was an everyday occurrence.

"Gross Edna smokes," Eric replied bluntly, his eyes glancing at the food tray in front of the new girl.

Jackie pulled a disgusted face as she stared at the food that she wasn't going to eat anyways, which she then stated. She casually got out of her seat and gingerly picked up her tray. Her eyes glanced around the room to locate a bin, which only took a few seconds.

Jackie started to make her way towards the trash can when out of nowhere a body crashed into hers causing the tray of food to flip over in her direction causing her 'Spaghetti Bolognese' to slide down her top before it hit the ground. Jackie frowned as she looked down at her top, "My top!"

"Haven't I told you watch were you're going, midget?" a familiar voice said making Jackie raise her gaze to see Steven Hyde standing in front of her. His voice was cold and harsh but his facial expression gave away nothing.

"Hyde, just leave her," the tall pretty boy, who was standing behind him with a ditzy blonde hanging out of his arm, said. "She's new,"

Hyde rolled his eyes before shoving past her with his followers right on his tale. The blonde cheerleader that was clearly the tall one's girlfriend sniggered as she walked past and turned her head as she walked so she could look at Jackie, "Nice top. Is it from an Italian label?" she asked innocently before laughing and walking off.

Jackie looked up to see that the whole cafeteria was laughing at her except for Donna, Fez and Eric. She felt her cheeks start to burn and an overwhelming feeling of nerves start to overcome her. The petite girl looked all around, she was surrounded by laughter. All she wanted was a black hole to open up in the floor and swallow her up.

Jackie flicked the Italian dish of her top before running towards the bathroom in tears.

A/N: Poor Jacks, her first lunch didn't go so well. Did you like it? I hope you guys did. The next chapter will be better and I can't wait to write it. I'd tell ya about it but I don't want to give a lot away. Also I have a new poll up for which one-shots I should do this month. If you haven't voted yet go do it now…after reviewing hopefully. Please tell me what you thought of this chapter and review please!
