Kate's POV:
So far, this day has been going amazing! Well... I'm not the most welcomed person here in this school, probably since everybody thinks I'm a stuck-up Boarding School Nerd, but one guy turned that all around in a class period. Humphrey is so cool! He really gets me. I've only known him for about a good 2 hours but I've never been so close to someone before. He really knows how to brighten up a day. 3rd and 4th block passed by really quickly. It was English and World Geo... Not the most interesting but I'm fine with it. The bell rang, ending another period with Humphrey, but lucky me, I have lunch with him! I stayed close to him walking down the halls. He helps me blend in with everybody. I love how I don't have to wear a freaking uniform anymore, that was torture back in the other school. I finally got to wear my favorite shirt. We finally got out of the hall way and into the fresh air. The buildings were separated from each other but were all connected by walkways. As we got out, Humphrey started talking. "Hey, the crowd in that cafeteria can be a little unforgiving to new people, so if you want, you can come sit with me and my friends." He said as he shot me a smile. "Thanks! I think I'll take that deal. I was planning on finding my sister and sitting with her, but she's told me some rather... interesting things about who she sits with," I told Humphrey as I returned a grin. We soon came up to the big doors leading into the cafeteria, and when we entered, it was not the most pleasant thing. People were piling on top of each other to get the next spot in line for food. The combined chatter of everyone was a constant roar of noise, it was pretty annoying. Also, to make matters worse, I noticed if anyone embarrassed themselves in any way, shape, or form, people will sarcastically applaud, and soon, applause echoed throughout the cafeteria as people decided to join in on the laughter, even if they didn't have a freaking clue on what happened. "I know, it's very pleasant," Humphrey sarcastically told me. I chuckled at his remark. "It really does liven the room up doesn't it?" I jokingly asked back. Thank God I packed my own lunch. I would never want to go through that lunch line. We both laughed as Humphrey led me to his usual table. There were booths, round tables and almost bar-like stools against high and long tables in the cafeteria. Humphrey seemed to be going to a round table at the far right of the enormous building. I happily followed along until I caught sight of the one person I never wanted to see again. I first noticed that Humphrey knew and sat with Lily, my sister, but also at their table was my Ex... Which I was hoping to get away from by transferring schools: Garth. Humphrey was greeted by many people at the table. But he did something I'd ever thought he do. the table was obviously too small for their group, so everyone pulled in extra chairs. Humphrey pulled out the only chair left and held it out... for me. "Madame," he said with a funny accent. I laughed and took a seat while he pulled another one for himself. I just wanted to shrug off Garth's glare that was burning holes in my head. Out of nowhere, one of friends shouted after they saw me sit down and examined me, "He's brought a girl!" the guy shouted. My face went beet red as everyone laughed and said their "awwws". "Wags, shut the hell up man," Humphrey barked at him. I turned and saw that he was also a cute shade of pink. When laughter died down, I looked up and saw that Garth wasn't fazed by their rowdiness. "Why is this bitch sitting at our table?" Garth coldly spat out. At that moment everyone fell silent. "Barf, chill. What the hell did she do to you?" Humphrey asked, defending me. "Call me that again Humphrey and you're going to freaking regret it. This little... person is the reason I'm not with my friends back at my old school having a great time!" Garth strained out with gritted teeth. "Jeez, I'm pretty sure you'd totally lighten up their party," Humphrey joked. Everyone in the table burst out a chuckle. Humphrey's a freaking genius. "That's it!" Garth screamed as he stood up. Tyler, Josh, and Andy held him down at his seat as he was trying to get up and strangle Humphrey's neck. "Well, whoever wants to have a nice lunch, may follow me to the booth over there, Humphrey said as he pointed to a booth on the opposite side of the room. Lily made a motion to everyone to go with me. She has a weird knack for calmking that asshole down. I have no idea how she does it, but thank God she does. Kate, Andy, Tyler, Salty, Stella, Mooch, and Wags all followed me as we made our way to the booth. Lily, Sam, and Josh stayed to help Garth with his problem. We didn't really talk much because we didn't have much time to eat our food. The bell rung, and we had to be on our way to the next class. Thankfully, my last class was with Humphrey.
