Chapter Six: 2nd and Lunch
When Trish made it to 'Life and Career Development' she sat way in the back. She couldn't wait for lunch. She was soo hungry and needed to eat something. Just as she began to think about lunch, the class started to fill up. She was glad she arrived early, having the opportunity to choose the seat she wanted.
"Well, today there isn't much we can do," Mrs. Mae Young began, "the power in my office is out so class you may just socialize for the rest of the period." Trish looked around and realized that somebody had taken the seat next to her.
"Hi I'm Trish." She said to the girl next to her who looked to be about 5'7 with really blonde hair.
"Hi I'm Torrie." the blonde smiled.
"Nice to meet you. I hope we have more classes together." Trish stated, meaning what she said. The girl seemed really nice.
"Yeah same here." Torrie smiled. They talked for the remainder of class. When the bell rang Trish grabbed her things and walked out the door only to find Jeff standing there.
"Hey there. I thought you might need some help getting to your locker." Jeff said to her as he grabbed her books. Trish looked at him and laughed.
"Oh aren't you the nice one?" Trish said as the two of them began walking. They went to Jeff's locker first so he could drop off his books. Then they proceeded onto Trish's locker. After she dropped her stuff off they finally got into the line for lunch.
"So what are your classes like so far?" Jeff asked.
"They're okay. But Mr. Understaker is a little intimidating." she replied, evoking laughter from Jeff.
"Has he given you his lecture about how it's his yard?" Jeff asked. Trish looked at Jeff and realized he had a great smile and laughed.
"Oh so he has given that speech to not only our class then." she said.
"Nah. He gives that speech to everybody. It works on mostly every freshman but one." Trish looked at Jeff and smiled.
"What did you do?" she asked him, noticing a mischevious glint in his eye.
"Let's just say he didn't scare me." Jeff said, leaving it at that. The two had reached the beginning of the lunch line and had to choose what to eat. Trish looked up at Jeff and decided not to order what he did and got herself the bosco sticks. They punched in their doces and walked off to find their table. When they arrived at it, Jericho looked up at the two of them and stormed off to the line. They both looked at each other and shrugged before sitting down. The entire lunch time Jeff and Trish sat together. When it ended Trish told Jeff she needed to go back to her locker. Jeff stood up to get rid of the remainder of his lunch. Trish didn't think it looked edible, it was more like goop.
When they reached her locker, Jeff took off to the end of the hall to talk to some of his friends. After she grabbed her books, Trish made her way to the end of the hall where Jeff was and noticed Jericho had just joined in the conversation. As she got a little closer she heard Jericho talking to Jeff in a whisperish voice. In order to hear you had to be pretty close, luckily for Trish, she was.
"You better stay away from Trish." Jericho said. "She doesn't want a freak like you, she wants the King of the World."
"Then why'd she break up with your sorry ass?" Jeff asked becoming infuriated.
"Because of morons like you." he stated simply. Trish had had enough and decided to make her presence known. She plastered a smile on her face hoping she could stop the exchange going on between the two. She smiled at Jericho then turned to Jeff.
"Hey, I thought you had classes like me." Trish said. Jeff looked at her confused.
"Trish." he began to say, then noticed her intense stare and he took the hint. "Oh yeah you're right. See you later Jericho."
"You better believe it assclown." Jericho said through gritted teeth just as the five minute bell rang.
