Chapter 7:
I think for one of the first times in my life, I couldn't wait for lunch to end. Because as soon as the bell rang, I was intent on dragging Christian over to Mason's soon-to-be sorry butt and confront him about our apparent "relationship". In fact, I was so pissed- I barely touched my food. Another first for me.
"Rose, you alright?" Lissa asked. Apparently I was so annoyed I was giving my food the death glare without realizing. I snapped out of my reverie and said, "Yeah, sorry… Just thinking of ways to kill Mason."
"Oh, c'mon… it's not that bad. Mason is cute, in a sort of boy-next-door way. Plus I'm sure he'd be a good boyfriend," Lissa reasoned.
"Uh, Lis? I'm right here, ya know?" Christian butted in.
"Shut up, Christian," I told him, and he scowled at me.
"I see your field experience is going well," Adrian said to me as he sat down at our table and stole an apple from my lunch plate, not that I cared.
"Wow, Adrian- way to just burst into the conversation," I said to him with a smirk.
"It's not my fault you two were a pair made in Hell," Adrian said, and bit into the apple.
"Shut up, Adrian," I said, but let out a small smile.
"So, what we're you guys talking about until I 'burst into the conversation'?" He did air quotes for the last phrase of the sentence.
"Apparently, Mason is falsely saying that he and Rose are an item," Chris explained.
"Ah, it is just a rumor? Thank God, now I can keep flirting with you without guilt," Adrian replied.
"Like you'd feel guilty anyway," I scoffed.
Just as he was about to reply- the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Finally.
"Shit! I didn't get go to the feeder!" Christian exclaimed.
"I guess we have to go during dinner- after I kick Mason's ass. C'mon- we can't be late for your next class." I firmly told Christian as I got up to go.
"Fine then. Bye, Lissa" He said to her as he gave her a quick pluck on the cheek before we left. I simply just waved bye to my friends before we left the cafeteria and headed to Christian's next class.
