Chapter 3
Cloe noticed lots of girls, looking at Ved and sometimes her as well, giving her either some jealous or evil eyes. She rolled her eyes at their childish behaviour, hadn't at least one of them heard her speech this morning? What was wrong with them?
"Hey... Cloe!" whispered a voice. Cloe looked at Ellie, who was sitting on the table behind her.
"Yeah... What is it?" asked Cloe, whispering so the teacher wouldn't hear it. Thank god she had chosen a table near the end, or else the teacher would have heard them, because Ellie was really bad at whispering. She always talked loud enough for people around the class would be able to hear it, no matter how hard she tried to keep her voice low.
"Can I borrow a pencil? Jack won't give me one of his... He says I'll just break it!" said Ellie, while giving Jack a stern look.
Cloe smiled, and found a pencil, and gave it to Ellie.
"Thanks!"
"Your welcome," whispered Cloe and turned back.
She heard a soft giggle and looked at Ved how was trying not to laugh out loud.
"What?" asked Cloe, trying to figure out why, but he didn't answer her question. He pointed down at the table in front of her, and she followed his finger, that lead to a small note.
She carefully took it and looked at what it said.
He is mine! So back off!
'He is mine? What? Who?' she thought and looked at Ved.
He looked past her, and she looked the way he did. A scowling girl with blond hair, who was sitting two seats away from Cloe, was looking at them.
"Who is she?" asked Ved, looking way too much interested in the girl.
"Her name is Patsy," answered Cloe, looking bored. Patsy was bad news. She was nothing more than a rich snob who always got what she wanted.
"Cute..." said Ved, and smirked.
She was about to ask, what he thought was cute on Patsy, but the bell interrupted her. She hadn't even packed her things, before Ellie and Jack came rushing to their table.
"Hey again!" said Ellie and smiled. "Cloe... Walk with me... I need to get some things in my locker."
Cloe looked at Ellie who was beaming, then at Jack who just shrugged and then at Ved who looked like he didn't care what she did.
"Don't worry Cloe. I can walk Ved to our usual table. You just go with Ellie. I think she needs to tell you something..." said Jack and laughed. Soon Ved joined him, and Cloe closed her bag, and followed Ellie out of the room.
'He will be fine. Jack is with him. Nothing will happen... He is a big boy...' she thought and tried to walk faster to keep up with Ellie. Ellie turned left, and walked quickly down the corridor where her locker were.
'Finally,' thought Cloe, when Ellie stopped and opened her locker.
"He is so cute!" said Ellie, and took out a book from her bag and placed it in her locker between lots of weird things. How could you have clothes in there, makeup, books, pictures and other stuff in that small locker?
Ellie closed it and started to walk away.
"I think he likes you!" said Ellie and giggled. Like me? Who? Ved?
"Ved?" asked Cloe. She had to be sure about what Ellie meant, before she would make a fool out of herself.
"Yeah, who else... I swear, sometimes it seems like you're the blonde and I'm the brunette."
"Nah... I don't think so. He probably has lots of girls to choose between. And did you see Patsy? She was practical drooling. I don't have a chance, whenever she wants something."
Ellie just nodded, then she added, "Cloe... Wake up! He was all over you!"
'Was he? Why didn't I notice that? Damn! Oh, wait; it's Ellie who says that... She always makes a big deal out of everything. He was probably just looking, and Ellie thought he was all over me... Yeah, that has to be it. I just wish she was right...' she thought and walked outside.
If the weather was good, then they had a usual table outside, and if the weather was, well... not that good, then they would sit inside at their usual table. It did have its advantage to be with the popular kids.
She noticed Ebony and Zandra sitting across from Ved, all three of them laughing.
Jack was engrossed in a conversation with Bray and Ryan, and by the look of their 'body-language'; it was something like football or basketball they talked about.
When they reached the table, Ebony looked up and smiled, which caused Ved to turn around.
"Hey Cloe, I've saved you a seat," said Ved, and smiled. Wait, did he just blush?
"Thanks," mumbled Cloe and sat down, looking at Zan and Ebs, who were giggling like mad women, but they stopped when she gave them a firm look. And that worked. They immediately stopped giggling and continued with their lunch.
Amber, Trudy and Pride joined them at the table.
"Oh, Ebony and Zandra just told me about some gathering you use to have every Friday night. They invited me... I hope you don't mind," said Ved and looked down on his lunch.
"Mind? Why should I mind? I mean, no... I don't mind, you're more than welcome... If you want to?" said Cloe quickly, giving him a shy look.
"Well, thanks. I would like to come. There is just one problem... Since I'm new, I don't really know where the street is... So I was wondering if you would meet somewhere I could find, and then we could go together?"
But before Cloe had a chance to answer, Ellie quickly yelled, "YES! She would love too!"
"Well, then it's a date! Here is my number... If you just call, so we can decide where..." said Ved and quickly wrote down his number on a piece of paper. "Now if you will excuse me, Jack promised to show me the football field, before next class."
Cloe nodded, and watched him leave with Jack, Bray, Pride and Ryan in the direction of the football field. She looked down on the paper, and saw that it was on the paper Patsy had wrote her 'intelligent' message on. She folded the paper neatly and placed it in her pocket.
"Go Cloe!" said Ebony, and smirked. "You've just gotten a date with the hottest guy on the whole school..."
"It's not a real date... I just have to walk with him..." said Cloe and couldn't help but blush.
'He did say, then it's a date... Did he mean that?' thought Cloe and ate the rest of her lunch in peace, not listening to her friends remarks. 'I hope he did...'
