Amara looked everywhere for Tabitha at school, but every time she thought she saw her it turned out to be either someone else or no one at all. Finally around lunch, Amara saw Tabby sitting at one of the tables in the cafeteria, but she wasn't alone. Pietro? Amara thought surprised. Tabby hated Pietro, didn't she? Scowling Amara walked over to the table and looked at both of them.
"Um, Tabby, mind if I sit here?" she asked almost positive her best friend and current crush would of course kick Pietro away and let Amara have his seat.
"Now's not really a good time Amara, Pietro and I are totally working on a project for our Family Living class," Tabitha said, but Amara could tell she was lying. She could always tell when Tabby was lying because she always blinked faster and licked her lips, of course she did that when she flirted too. Are they even in that class together? she wondered as she slowly walked off to find somewhere else to sit. None of the other female new recruits had been acting like themselves so Amara ended up sitting with Bobby, Sam, and Ray. She spent most the lunch period ignoring their lame jokes, almost crude female references, and everything else they said. Tabitha had just totally told her, without even using the words, that she didn't want to be in a relationship with Amara, that she thought they were just friends. Amara blinked back the tears and ran off towards the girls' room, ignoring the wierd looks all the other students gave her.
