Westchester High School

Cafeteria

11:00 A.M.

September 2nd

Massie swung open the cafeteria doors, walking towards the food line. Spotting some salad, Massie quickly swiped it before the LBR in front could and smiled angelically. She stepped towards the cashier and gave him her credit card. He marveled at it, wishing he could have one as he swiped it and gave it back to Massie's open hand. She stuffed it back in her gold clutch and walked away. She came to an abrupt stop, what table deserves our worthiness? Massie chose a table in the corner, big enough to fit the PC and the boys. Walking towards it she set down her tray and searched the crowded cafeteria, waiting for the PC, and Derrick Harrington, to come in.

Dylan was the first to spot Massie; she grabbed her lunch and plopped down in the seat next to her.

"How was your first day of school so far?" Dylan asked taking a sip of her water.

"Ugh, that's EXACTLY what my mom is going to say at dinner." Massie said with a playful eye roll. Dylan laughed, choking back the water she drank earlier. Massie laughed as water came out of Dylan's nose, she was laughing so much she didn't even realize Kristen had arrived.

"Hey guys, what's so funny?" One look at Dylan's water soaked nose and Kristen cracked up laughing. By then everyone in the cafeteria was staring at the table in the corner, longing and daydreaming to be one of them.

"That hurt SO MUCH!" Dylan screamed wiping her nose with her napkin. Then she took a bite of her Panini. Alicia came over to the table with Josh Hotz in tow.

"Hey guys." He said smiling.

"Hey Josh." Massie, Kristen, and Dylan said in the same monotone voice. Alicia gave them a stern look, and then sat down next to him. Massie heard the tiny ring of the bell, announcing another person coming. Massie snapped her head towards the door, hoping to see Derrick's wonderful hair and blue eyes. Instead, she saw Alice Triston, and Cam was surprisingly 5 feet behind her. Cam kept standing behind her, as if protecting her from an invisible person, and reluctantly left to go sit with Josh.

"Hey Cam." Everyone except Massie greeted, not noticing his strange behavior.

"Hello Cameron." Massie said eyeing him up and down. He looked down uncomfortably, opening his bag of chips. She stared until Derrick plopped down next to her.

"What's up girls, guys," He said nodding at each one, and then he faced Massie, "Block." He smiled, so did she, she loved that he gave her a special nickname. Sure, it may be her last name, but it's better than her first.

"Hey Derrick." Massie said back, shoving her fork into a piece of lettuce drenched in Caesar sauce. She looked at it ruefully, putting her fork down. Massie stood up with her tray, the eyes of the people sitting at the table following her. Massie walked towards the cashier, throwing away her salad in the process. She was almost there, when a black haired girl cut her off. Massie waited impatiently, tapping her foot loud. Alice turned around annoyed, and gave Massie a glare. Surprisingly it was strong and full of anger. Massie stopped and then watched Alice walk away. She was so stunned, that for a moment she forgot why she was there in the first place. Then the image of a 100 calorie piece of lettuce popped into her mind.

"One water bottle." Massie ordered, handing the cashier a 5 dollar bill. He handed her a water bottle and Massie walked back towards everyone else.
