Lunch

"Bender!" John turned around to see Boomer running towards him. "Since when are you in a rush to get to lunch?" he asked.

"I gotta talk to Claire..." Bender grumbled.

Boomer stood there, shocked. "Dude, why? She treats you like shit and all of a sudden you want to talk to her?"

Bender stopped, and turned to Boomer. "I'm not the one that wants to talk to the bitch, she wants to talk to me ok? I just want to get her off my back. Fuck off." He said, and continued walking down the hallway.

Boomer rolled his eyes, and smirked. "See you later then sunshine!" He said sarcastically. He looked down the hallway and saw Nattasia, and they immediately smiled when seeing each other.

"Look what thee cat dragged in" she smiled, and started to walk with him down the hallway. "What class did you just have?"

Boomer pulled out a pack of cigarette's from his pocket, and lite one. "Haha very funny." He said sarcastically. "History. Speaking of history, Bender might be a little late for lunch.

"Why?" She asked.

"He's gotta talk to Queenie. Apparently she wanted to talk to him." Boomer said, puffing out some smoke. He opened the door leading to the outside, the front of the school. Nattasia thanked him, and she felt the sunshine hitting her face.

"Do you know why?"

"How should I know? It's probably nothing. She's just not used to someone getting over her so fast." Boomer chucked.

"Yeah" Nattasia said, and began walking with Boomer towards the parking lot, where she had met them in the morning. Leith and Milo were there, talking. She took out a brown bag from her backpack.

"What's in there?" Leith asked.

"Lunch." She shrugged, laughing.
"Ah." He said. "Anything interesting?"

"Uh..." She moved things around in the bag for a moment.

"Half of a Hershey bar?" She smiled. She then broke off a piece for each one of John's friends which they all gratefully took.

"Want some?" Boomer asked, handing her out a pack of cigarettes.

"No, I don't smoke." She smiled.

"Bender's got a girlfriend that doesn't smoke?" He asked.

"Or drink." Nattasia added in.

"SHE'S A KEEPER!" Boomer shouted over to Bender, who was sitting on the rail in front of the school. He had his usual black sunglasses on. Everyone who was outside was staring at Boomer and John, Nattasia was laughing at the attention Boomer's loud voice caused. Maybe that's why his nickname was Boomer?

He merely shouted back, "I KNOW! WHY DO YOU THINK WE'RE TOGETHER?"

Bender was watching the numerous amount of students leave the front of the school for lunch. Hurry up princess I ain't got all day. He thought. Just then he saw Claire, Jessica, and Sabrina emerge from the doorway. He hopped off the rail.

"What's he doing here?" Claire mumbled to Jessica, who was smiling at John.

"I told him you two needed to talk." She winked, before walking away. Claire glared at her. She had nothing to say to John, and didn't plan on speaking to him any time soon. As the steps cleared, they were the only two left at the entrance of Shermer High. She wind was the only think occupying the awkward silence as they both stared at each other. Bender removed his glasses, putting them in his back pocket.

"Are you waiting for a fuckin' conversation invitation, Queenie? 'Cause you ain't gonna get one. Not from me at least." He remarked.

Claire was looking him up and down, had he been this attractive in detention? God, why didn't she stay with him. "Listen I didn't want to talk." She quickly said, rolling her eyes.

"Great! I'll get back to my 'stoner friends'" He said, quoting her from the monday two months ago. She had shooed him off in the hallways and said, Why don't you go back to your stoner friends? He then began to walk away, but Claire stopped him.

"John, wait." She said in a desperate voice. No one called him by his first name, except for Nattasia. He turned around, and waited for her to open her big mouth again. "Do you think I like what I said to you?"

"I don't know, but I thought those bitches you call friends wouldn't control who you liked and who you didn't like." He snapped back at her.

Tears were glassing the brims of her eyes, "I'm sorry! Okay?! Is that what you want JOHN?! I'm sorry! I didn't expect you to go out and get a girlfriend the moment I rejected you."

"Don't you ever-EVER think you rejected me, ok? That had been long fuckin' established before your friends got in the middle of things. What's wrong, your daddy didn't give you another diamond earring for an apology this time?"

"Shut up. I said I was sorry okay?!" She pouted.

"And don't you even think of dragging my girlfriend into this! GET OVER YOURSELF! Not everyone's gonna forgive you because you said 'sorry'. I'm fuckin' glad you dumped my sorry ass 'cause I found someone that was way better." He pointed over at Nattasia, who was talking to his friends and laughing. "She doesn't judge. She doesn't give a fuck. And neither do I. And-"

"Stop it!" She interupted him, tears streaming down her chin now.

"-and I was right about what I said in fuckin' detention! We are never gonna walk down the hallways at school, so you can forget it! It's never gonna happen! And why don't you fuckin' leave my girlfriend alone, she doesn't want to put up with your shit and neither do I." He reached in his back pocket and pulled out a diamond earring, he then snatched her hand and forced her to take it before he walked off.
