A/N- Another chapter for you guys. This one is mainly dialogue. I'll have the next one up pretty soon, I'm even aiming for tomorrow. You guys know the routine. :)
Chapter 4
We took a seat on one of the round tables under the shade and pulled out our lunch. I had a well done salad with my favourite French dressing and Chelsea had a poutine with parsley sprinkled on top.
"What, are you on a diet there Spencer? What's with the healthy lunch?" Chelsea mocked.
"Hardy harr, you better get used to it. My parents are both health freaks. I can only have something fattening once a week not including the weekends. Can you believe it?" I said.
"Damn that sucks, you should let me buy you lunch sometime. I can get you stuff us teens eat here. Better yet, the first place I'll take you to see is the caf menu. You gotta make it your best friend." She continued to mock.
"Yeah sure, but you got to show me where the gym is too then, so I can work off all the calories I gain." I joked around. It was really easy to joke around with Chelsea that was one thing I loved about her.
"So how did you end up coming to King High? Do you have any siblings? Tell me about yourself Spencer." She urged.
"Well, I moved here from Ohio. From my mom's perspective, we moved here for more job and educational opportunities. But personally, I just needed to get out from that place. It feels good to be away from it all and starting fresh. My parents did some asking around when we got here and King High was the school they wanted me to go to. So here I am, unfortunately my older brother had to come along with us."
"Yeah it must feel good to be, to some degree, free. This school can be good and bad, depending on the amount of drama. You make it sound like your brother is horrible. He can't be that bad." She said.
*I Snorted*
"Wait till you meet him. I believe I already witnessed some of this so called drama. Is everyone always so uptight here?" I needed to know why.
"Nah this is just how the school is, there are some really nice people here then there are the really snobby ones who think they can do whatever they please."
"Like Madison? I take it I should stay as far away from her as possible, although that'll be kinda hard as I have first period with her."
"Shoot that double sucks. Yeah like her. Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows Madison. She just tries to find every way to stand out. Sometimes I don't know who steals the spotlight, her or Ashley."
"Who's Ashley? Oh and by the way, do you know what happened to Melissa? I wanted to ask her, but I got the sense that she didn't want to tell me, and I take it she told you at least."
"Only Madison's rival. I don't know how much to say about her, but let's just put it that she can be very wild in her own ways. She's about your height with brown hair and brown eyes. Today she's wearing a jean skirt and red vest. Don't worry you will get to see her soon enough. Yeah she texted me what happened, she actually, and this is ironic, got punched by Ashley." She said.
I blinked twice. I knew exactly who she was talking about, and now I know the girls name too.
"Why did she punch her?" I asked.
"Well this is the part I'm not sure I should tell you or not. Maybe I should wait; I don't want to be the one to break it to you." She stalled.
"Oh but I want to know!" I pleaded.
"Okay, okay, But you better not tell anyone I told you! Well how can I put this... Ashley. likes. girls." She said, and waited for my reaction.
"So she's a lesbian then. Interesting, but that still doesn't explain why she punched her." I seemed cool on the outside but on the inside was a different story. I just could not believe my ears. SHES A LESBIAN LIKE ME! OMG! But what a turnoff, she shouldn't hit girls for any reason, period.
"Well, your taking it well, most people would be screaming all over the place with shock. The reason she punched her was because she was outing her on her locker using spraypaint." She told me.
"But why would Melissa want to do that?" I asked dumbfoundly, maybe Ashley wasn't at fault here.
"It wasn't exactly Melissa's idea, it was Madison's. She bribed Melissa into doing it so that you can find out about Ashley. Ashley got to the scene in time and well you know the result from there." she said.
"Hmmmm." I thought. This Ashley girl hit on the wrong person. Poor Melissa.
"That's gotta suck for Melissa. Poor girl." I said.
"I know right. Stupid Ashley, she should have hit Madison. At least she got in trouble." Chelsea said.
"Yeah thats good." I finished.
A half hour later we finished eating our lunch. As you noticed, we talked more than we ate. Just as we were about to leave Glen and a friend of his showed up.
"Hey Sis! How's your classes going for you? You make any new friends?" Glen said coming towards us.
"Oh, boy, look at that Chelsea you finally get to meet the one and only, Glen." I whispered to her.
"Hey Glen, my classes are okay right now, just really disliking Math. More the people in it, than the subject. Yes, this is Chelsea. I met her in History. You seem to have a new friend too." I looked up at the guy next to him. I didn't recognize him, though he was definitely a jock judging by his team jacket.
"Thats good. This is my bud Aiden. Hey Chelsea, I'm Glen. My sis may have already told you how awesome I am." he said. He was always like this around girls.
"Hi Glen, and nice to see you around again Aiden." Chelsea said.
" My brothers an idiot." I said.
"Hey Chels.
Hey Spencer. I saw you earlier today, I was the guy that got kissed by one of the cheerleaders. Don't let them get to you. They think they own the world." He said with his hand out. I suddenly remembered his voice from outside the room of my history class. I just did not notice him at the table earlier since his back was toward me.
"So you were stalking me. Please don't." I said with a shy smile not wanting to be mean. I didn't want to be looked at by dudes I did not know, it makes me uncomfortable. Aiden stayed quiet, Glen spoke up.
"Hey be nice Spencer." Glen said.
"Whatever Glen. Sorry Aiden. Okay well me and Chelsea are going to go now. I'll see you around, oh and tell dad im going to be late going home, my history teacher wants to explain to me what I missed." I told him.
So Chelsea ended up showing me the most important parts of the school. Where the office was, the gym, the caf, the computer labs, the library, where all the washrooms were on every floor, and thankfully where all my other classes were.
"Thanks for showing me around the school Chels. We should probably be getting to our classes now. Mom wouldn't be too ecstatic about me getting to all my classes late." I told her.
"No problem. Yeah we should be, if only lunch was longer, your a cool person to be around Spencer." She smiled.
"You are too, see you later?" I said turning to go.
"For sure. Hey Spencer, hold up. I forgot to give you Melissa's number and mine." She pulled out her phone.
"Oh right!" I went into my bag to pull out mine. I had to turn it on because I had turned it off in fear of it ringing during class. Forty two missed phone calls, and twenty text messages were on the display screen. I couldn't believe it. This girl never gave up.
