Chapter 3: Lunch Time

It was a Monday and everyone had heard about Josh Kramer. He was found by his sister, who then called 911. The cops are now investigating the brutal murder.

Everyone in town heard about it and now everyone at school were talking about it.

Afternoon lunch had started and Sam sat with a couple of friends outside the cafeteria.

Evan, Darrel, and Justin sat two tables away. Justin and Darrel were looking sad while their friend Evan looked angry and determined. No one would talk to them about their friend. Guessing it was too hard to just mention his name or they didn't have the right words to say. Sorry was differently not something neither of the three wanted to hear.

One person, though, wanted to say sorry, that person was Bobby. He felt sorry for their friend; he just knew that he was the cause of the terrible incident. He took a deep breath and walked up to their table, his lunch tray in his hand. Justin took notice of him first. His eyes silently pleaded with Bobby to leave. He knew Evan's anger and Bobby shouldn't be anywhere near him when he's angry.

"I'm really sorry about what happened to Josh. It must be really tough on you guys knowing that your friend died and all," Bobby shyly stated towards Justin more than to the two seating next to him.

Evan clenched a milk carton in his hand letting the content of it spill over his hand.

"Look, thanks, Bobby, but we really don't..."

"What did you say punk," Evan interrupted Justin. His loud response alerting some of the kids around them, Sam included.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry..."

"Shut up freak. You didn't know Josh. I don't know why you're even here talking to us. We don't like you."

"Yo, calm down, Evan. You don't need this right now," Darrel tried to calm his friend down.

"Why are you sorry anyway," Evan asked. He seemed to think about his own question for a moment and then something dawned on him. "What did you do? Did you do something to Josh...It was you wasn't it."

Justin got up to face Bobby. "Look, just go before you make things worst," he whispered to Bobby.

"But..." the sound of Evan's chair clattering to the ground interrupted Bobby.

Evan grabbed Bobby by his shirt collar and threw him to the ground. His lunch tray, with food, fell all over him.

Some of the kids, stood, surrounding the two, while others stood on their little stools to get a better look. Sam ran up through some of the kids so he could get a little closer, not that he wanted to see a fight but to stop it.

Evan started pounding on Bobby. His anger building up which showed through his punches.

Darrel and Justin finally broke through the crowd to try and push Evan away from Bobby, but Evan would weasel out their grip and jump on Bobby again.

"What is going on out here," a teacher's voice was heard above the crowd. Some of the kids disperse out of the way, revealing a teacher in a suit heading towards the fight. During the interruption, Darrel and Justin finally got a hold on Evan and pulled him away from Bobby. Bobby picked his self up with only a bloody nose and a sprang wrist. The teacher asked again what was going on.

Justin stepped up and stood between the group. "Nothing, Mr. Townsend. Bobby had tripped and fell and Evan was helping him up. Everyone surrounded us because Bobby's nose was bleeding. We didn't mean for it to make a scene, but that's what happened, isn't that right, Bobby."

Justin was giving him another pleading look, and Bobby fell for it again.

"Yeah, that's what happened. Mr. Townsend."

The teacher, at first, looked like he didn't believe them, but his expression lightened and agreed to what they had said.

"Alright, come Bobby; let's go to the nurse to see if your nose is broken."

Everybody scattered back to what they were doing before the fight and sat back down to eat their lunch.

Justin cleaned up the food and tray on the ground and dumped it. He then left to go into the hallway.

Sam followed after.

Leaving out of the cafeteria, Justin headed for the nurse's office. He turned a corner and at the end of the hallway was the nurse's door. Sam stopped at the same corner and peered around to watch Justin.

Peeking through the blinds of the window, Justin tried to see if he could see what was going on, but the door opened up and Mr. Townsend appeared.

"Mr. Sams may I asks why are you standing at the nurse's door?"

Justin thought for a moment. "Uhm, I was just wondering was Bobby okay."

"He's fine. The nurse knows what she is doing. Thanks for your concern though, but you should be really be getting back to lunch."

"Okay…uhm, Mr. Townsend did Bobby look like he was mad, you know like mad or something?"

"…No, why? Should he be?"

"No, no I was just wondering, I should really be heading back to lunch. I have like five more minutes left."

"Yeah you should."

Sam saw Justin turn to head back to the cafeteria and he decided to do the same. Once back in the lunch room, he gradually looked to see Justin walking back to his table with his friends.

"Yo Justin where did you go," Darrel asked when he saw his friend making his way toward them.

"Oh I was using the restroom."

Darrel just nod and went back to eating his lunch.

Sam over heard what Justin told his friends and he thought why would he lie about his whereabouts? And why would he get in the fight, lie about that, and then go see if the kid was alright?

Tbc…
