Chapter 12 An interesting lunch
We crawled from the tree, made our way through the basketball court were some guys was standing and walked quietly towards the end of the stairs were Warren was sitting. When we were close enough, we stopped and sat down quietly.
"Hey Warren where were you last night? We waited for you at the paper lantern, but you didn't show up." said Will and removed some of his brown hair from his face.
"I thought you said your shift started at seven." said Will's girlfriend. Warren didn't look at any of them.
"I was delayed." He muttered.
"C'mon Warren we're your friends." begged the smallest orange kid.
"I meet some one and forgot the time that's all." My hart was beating so violently that I was sure that some one would hear it.
"Let's go." I whispered but Jordan just shook her head and smashed me against the stairs.
"No, I want to see were this is heading."
"Who did you meet?" asked Will. "Was it that girl you like so much?" Jordan made a small laugh.
"Wow Warren, who's the lucky girl?" asked the purple girl and received a strange look from the boy next to her.
"That girl must be very important since you dumped us for her." said the orange boy, sadly. (Ok Taylor, next time you see Warren ask him what his friends names is.)
"First of all; there's no lucky girl and secondly; that girl you're talking about has a name. And thirdly; I didn't dump anyone, I just forgot the time." said Warren and looked at them for the first time.
"So what is her name?" Warren hesitated.
"Taylor. Taylor Cadwell." I was very close to a fainting point now. I was dying to hear the rest of the conversation.
"That brown haired girl that knocked down Emma Mends?" asked the tallest boy. (I said I was sorry! Gees.)
"That's the one." Said Warren a bit bored.
"She is so cute! You must introduce us to her." said the redhead excitedly.
"What ever." Warren said and turned to the book again.
"So, what were you doing last night?"
"Nothing special."
"SHE KISSED YOU DIDN'T SHE?! Aw Warren how cute… I'm dying to meet her." yelled the redhead in an excited voice. Before she could say anything more Warren had got up and walked away without another word.
"What's up with him?" asked the tall blond boy.
(A history class later…)
"I hate you!" I hissed and slapped Jordan on the back.
"What?"
"I had my hart in my throat during the entire conversation! And I couldn't breathe!"
"What a cliché moment don't you think? Just like in a movie." Jordan said and opened the doors to the cafeteria. "It was a brilliant idea, though. Now you know exactly what his friends think of you."
"You and your ideas…" Smash.
"Taylor, hey." said Warren and picked up his book.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I should have watched were I was going."
"No problem."
"You must be Taylor. The girl we have heard so much about." said Will's girlfriend behind me. Warren's friends had all crowded up behind me and Jordan, smiling.
"What have you heard?" I asked concerned. She laughed.
"Just good things, I assure you." I sighed in relief. I'm glad Warren didn't tell them about the gutter situation. Who wouldn't?
"Why don't you and your friend sit by our table?"
"Sure." I grabbed a tray and walked over to a lonely table followed by Jordan.
"Run while you still can. The hippie is gona bomb you with questions." muttered Warren as we sat down in the end next to each other. (It was a pure coincidence I promise! Yet, I'm not complaining!)
"Don't be stupid. Of course I want to get to know your friends." I muttered back. The cafeteria was buzzing with noises, but through it all I could hear two familiar voices calling my name. Xavier and Jamie waved at me telling me to come over to their table, but I just shook my head and turned to the table again. I wouldn't ditch Warren to hang with them! No way!
"I am so sorry, we haven't even introduced our self yet!" said Will. "This is my girlfriend Layla, the tall blond guy is Zack, that is Magenta and that is Ethan." He said and pointed at them after he had said their names. "And I'm Will."
"Nice to meet you all. This is my friend Jordan by the way." Jordan waved at them and turned to her lunch. Being around people wasn't her favorite thing…
"I bet that Warren have told you all about us, right bud?" said the boy named Zack. I opened my mouth and closed it again and glanced at Warren. He gave me a look that was impossible to read.
"Eh, yeah…" I finally said.
After a while the conversation among us got better and everyone was talking to everyone. Jordan was in deep conversation with Ethan about the importance of sidekicks and Magenta and Zack was talking about why Magenta always wore purple clothes. Warren had opened his book and was reading silently, leaving Layla to ask as many questions she wanted. Will didn't do anything but to follow our conversation with huge eyes.
Layla asked all kinds of questions like, where I lived, what my power was and what kind of boys I liked… When she finally asked me if I had a thing for Warren I suddenly felt a warm hand upon mine. I had never felt such a warm hand before. Mine hands had been freezing all day but now for one time sake they were warm. I tried to look down without Layla noticing it. It was Warren's hand…
