The-AO-Squad: School Wars book #1/chapter29


Chapter 29


Humphrey rushed to his table now, eager to tell Kate that he had shared the same idea on getting hot-lunch together. As he arrived now, he noticed though that Morgan was for once sitting at the end of their table where he, Kate and Syrita usually only sat... He raised an eyebrow at this sight.

Sure he enjoyed others at their table such as Maria (marr-ee-uh), Rea (Ray-uh), Riley, Madeline, and of course Brianna but... Morgan? Morgan always seemed kinda snobbish...

He exhaled now, knowing there was nothing to do though to change the fact that she was sitting closer to them than usual today. maybe tomorrow would be a different story and things would go back to being as they were...

"Hey guys" He finally entered the scene now, raising his voice slightly louder than usual seeming he could hardly be heard from anyways, what with all the noisily loud chatting within the lunchroom. It was a HUGE room, and so were students' mouths come to think of it...

Kate brightened suddenly now, her eyes lighting up at Humphrey's appearance. "Humphrey!..." She suddenly stopped herself from continuing as she flew her gaze to Morgan, the brass colored female wolf was sitting in her chair like a little drama queen.. and that's what she basically was.

Kate nodded for Humphrey to come around the table to her side now, Humphrey instantly catching the notation and hurrying around the bend. "Yeah Kate? What is it?" He asked now as he reached her.

Kate sighed, there was so much to say to him.

"Okay so..." She glanced around one more tie before speaking now, ears pinned from annoyance. "Morgan is being nothing but a jerk okay?" She kept her voice just low enough, in case Morgan would catch onto their little gossip over near some microwaves within the corner of the room.

"Why? What did she do?" Humphrey tipped his head now.

Kate fidgeted on the spot, eyes ablaze from such harsh irritation. "Okay so I sit down at the table with Syrita and simply start chatting like any other day and then Morgan comes on over and makes herself comfortable by shoving my napkins off and onto the filthy floor..." Kate explained, making Humphrey begin to narrow his own eyes at this point.

"That's not all." She continued now. "I then questioned her about it saying things like 'it's okay' and all and all she had to say was 'I know it was'. Then she rudely buts into me and Syrita's little chat again by starting a whole different conversation up..." She exhaled before lifting her eyes back to him now. "All I'm saying is... I really don't like her..." She breathed, making Humphrey nod in approval of what she had to say to him.

"I can see that now... I wondered why she was sitting over on our end of the table in the first place" Humphrey noted as well, making Kate just give another nod.

After a few more moments of just turning to stare at Morgan now, Humphrey then decided it was the right time to change the subject finally. He didn't like seeing Kate this way, and he was pretty sure Syrita or anyone else did either...

"S-So... We had the same idea of hot-lunch today? That was pretty cool" Humphrey began now as he led the way slowly back to the table, taking his rightful seat. Kate nodded now as she too took her seat. She still had her eyes shifting to Morgan every once and a while though.

"Yeah... I decided to try it today seeming... well, there wasn't as much of a long line as yesterday" Kate explained when suddenly Morgan began talking now, her voice high with dramatic agony. "Eww! Oh, gross! I split some of my yogurt onto my seat... ugh, eww..." She simply though only reached over for one of Humphrey new napkins for the solution making Humphrey's eyes widen with anger suddenly.

"H-Hey!" he snarled, but she only ignored him and went on. "Oh and I need a fork too..." She looked around and instantly spotted Kate's untouched fork. "There we go" She grabbed it with ease, and tore it out of it's plastic wrapping now, but not before Kate pushed the table back some, causing for more of Morgan's yogurt to fling and spill slightly.

"DUDE!" Kate bared her teeth. "That was my fork!" She growled lowly, causing for some like Syrita, Rea and even Madeline to glance over at them now.

Morgan only paused before narrowing her eyebrows at Kate though. "Well, well... attitude..." She rolled her eyes before reaching to grab for another one of Humphrey's napkins. "Oh well, I guess I'll need another-" She was stopped dead though by Humphrey's paw as it smacked onto the napkins, therefore making it impossible for Morgan to get one now. "Um excuse me but you can get your own!" Humphrey snapped. "I'm pretty sure your legs aren't broken." he flattened his ears atop his head now, clearly seeing why Kate held a strong grudge for this pathetic drama wolf now.

Kate was still baring her teeth though at this as well.

Morgan only gave a huff. "Are all new wolves like this? or..." She dropped her gaze to the ground, not completing her sentence.

Rea suddenly though budded into the rising Quarrel that was starting, her very light, beautiful blonde fur turning now to face them. "Hey guys, what's going on?" She asked in a simple tone, with a hint of worry hidden within it.

"Someone here doesn't have manners on asking for things" Kate answered simply, not even bothering to take her eyes off Morgan to give Rea a look at all.

Morgan scoffed. "Oh don't be silly. You've got way too many napkins for yourselves, why not let me have at least one?"

"TWO!?" Humphrey corrected her now, tail lashing.

Rea flicked her ears in regards to this and tried to soothe the matter. "hey, hey it's alright you two. It's just a bunch of napkins" Rea reminded them. "Yeah, our napkins, thank you" Kate added irritably, making Rea only roll her eyes slightly. "yeah but can't we share a little?" She then turned her attention onto Morgan now. "And for you Morgan, maybe you could try asking next time?" Rea suggested, making Morgan only lift her nose to the idea. "We'll see..." Was her only answer before scooting back a little within her chair and then rising to her paws, to head up for her own napkins now, tail swaying with triumph in thinking she had won the quarrel.

Humphrey only snorted and then finally sat back down in his seat now, Kate doing the same.

Rea gave the two a small apologetic look before speaking again now. "Look, I'm sorry about Morgan... she can be kinda... well... you can clearly see" She stated.

Kate shrugged, though she still seemed tense from the fight. "Its fine... I-I'm sorry as well by the way" She muttered next, making Humphrey only give a nod in agreement.

Syrita then leaned her head in now, eyebrows raised. "You two need to chill" She joked, making Humphrey only give a small dramatic look. "Hey, we try" he shot back at her with sarcasm that made both Rea and Syrita chuckle now.

Kate couldn't help but now notice Rea for once, and who she truly was. She seemed very nice. "H-hey so, what's your name again?" she then couldn't help but ask.

Rea beamed before replying. "Rea"

"Well... thanks for that Rea" Kate simply nodded, as Morgan came and took her seat now once again, her stupid brass fur was beautifully set apart from her darker toned colored hair/mane style.

"Welp, I'm back. And I got me some napkins" She beamed her idiotic smile before wiping some yogurt drippings off of the table now.

Kate only turned farther closer to Humphrey, hating every second she had to spend at lunch beside this brat...
