Chapter 5: Lunch with insane people
I have an awful morning due to Christina going into epic grief mode and a lack of Will to cheer us up. This is the worst day ever.
Christina and I sit at our normal table at lunch. We start having one of our mental conversations. To anyone else that may sound extremely weird and creepy. To us it's extremely normal and sane. We usually also include Will in these conversations but today he's at the infirmary.
"I miss Will." Christina whines.
"I miss him too. Now stop whining." I command. I give her the eye. It doesn't work.
"It's different! He's my boyfriend! I think I may lo-" I cut her off before she says it.
"No. That word is a lie. Do not use that word. It is like a cuss to me. It's like saying Voldemort to most wizards." I say. Christina looks astonished.
"Are you telling me that Cupid, the matchmaker of our school, does not believe in love?" I sigh.
"Yes. Well, I believe in love, just not the word. People will say they love you, but it will be a lie." I say.
Suddenly someone else says, "Is that so?" I gasp. I know it wasn't Christina. She doesn't sound like that. It's not Will either. I try and think of people who would be able to hack our conversation.
"Caleb?" I ask.
"Nope." The voice responds.
"Rose?" Christina asks, naming her little sisters name.
"Nope. I'm male." The voice says. I look around the room. I turn around and am immediately met with none other than Captain Annoying's eyes. Great. So now Captain Annoying can listen to my thoughts. I hope he didn't hear the part about me being Cupid.
"I hate you." This I say out loud. He laughs and puts his arm around me.
"I love you too, Trissy!" He sings. I punch him then nudge his arm off me. His grin doesn't falter. "I'm sitting here today, Trissy!" I cringe at the nickname.
"Don't call me that." I say.
"Why?" He asks, being his annoying self.
"Because I told you not to. And if you ignore me I'll beat you up again. Just like this morning." At that the cafeteria silences. Wow. I wasn't even speaking loudly. Four laughs nervously.
"Tris, you never beat me up." He says. I laugh harshly.
"That's a lie. You know I kicked your butt after you hurt Will. Want me to reenact it?" I ask. I smirk at his horrified expression.
"You're crazy. There is no way you could beat me up." He says nervously. I take this as a challenge.
I punch him in the face. His nose starts bleeding. He tries to hit me back but I'm too quick and I dodge him. I stand up and move a few feet away from him. He takes the bait and stands up too. Perfect. I go closer to him and kick him where the sun don't shine. He makes an "ooph!" sound and falls to the floor. I smirk. That'll teach him.
Unfortunately he just gets back up, puts a paper towel on his bleeding nose, and sits next to me again. And to add to the horribleness of all this Captain Stupid, Captain Idiot, and Captain Poser sit with us. I groan.
"Why God? Why? I thought we were on good terms!" I shout up at the sky.
"Maybe your being a little over dramatic." Christina says. Of course she doesn't say this out loud, though.
"Yeah. I think she's right."
"I never asked for you opinion, Four!" Me and Christina mentally shout at him at the same time.
"Well sorry!" He says dragging out sorry. Christina and I roll our eyes.
"Well, this definitely isn't an awkward silence at all." Zeke (Captain Idiot) says.
"No, actually it isn't." I say. Zeke and Uriah (Captain Stupid, aka Zekes twin) look at me like I'm crazy. I raise my eyebrow at Caleb.
"I can also hear your mental conversations. I just choose not to say anything." He says mentally. That makes sense. We are siblings after all.
"So, how does everyone like what they got to eat for lunch?" Uriah asks. I roll my eyes at his awful small talk.
"It tastes like gruel." I say plainly.
"Well duh. This is the cafeteria we're talking about!" He says. All four Captains laugh at that while Christina gives me a "Really?" look.
"Even I think that was corny." Christina and I perk up instantly.
"Will!" We shout. Christina starts kissing him and I stare at him.
"Will! I'm so sorry! You didn't have to do that for me! I should have been the one who spent the morning in the infirmary room! Speaking of that, how did you get out so early? I thought they were going to keep you there all day!" I blabber.
"I got out early because apparently my injuries weren't as bad as they originally thought." He just then takes notice of the four other people at the table. His face darkens.
"You should probably leave this table. Now." Will says in a very scary voice. Caleb, Zeke and Uriah look scared while Four looks amused.
"I'm not afraid of you." Four says smirking.
"Why not?" Will asks in the same threatening voice.
"Because I beat you up this morning."
"Yeah, and then I beat the living day light out of you. I suggest you leave." I say. Now Four looks scared. Perfect.
They get up and leave. Thank god. I was sick of having lunch with crazy people.
Sorry that I haven't updated in forever! I wouldn't write because I got really mad because I had written the fifth chapter and then I did something and the whole chapter deleted. I got so mad! It was super annoying.
I'm proud of myself! I got my report card back and it was all either A's or -A's. That's pretty good! Especially considering the fact that my science teacher hates me! On my report card she wrote "Oz (lol not telling you guys my real name) has a little trouble writing in complete sentences." and I'm just like "No." She keeps picking on me because "I don't write in complete sentences". That is such a lie! She is so annoying! Grrr...
