Andy Bartlett was walking through the cafeteria to get a seat so he could eat his lunch. His mother had made his favorite: A salami sandwich with ketchup, baby carrots, and grape juice. As he was nearing a table, he heard a voice that temporary stop him in his tracks.

"Hey." shouted the voice. Andy paused a bit to see where the voice came from. He looked around, shrugged, and continued walking. "Hey." shouted the voice again. Andy looked around until he spotted Justin Cole standing at the top of the stairwell looking at something. Andy figured he was probably calling to some girl, so Andy went about his way. "Hey," Justin called out, "Andy!" That definitely got Andy's attention.

Andy turned to Justin and pointed to himself to make sure Justin calling him.

"Yes you." Justin answered while smiling. Andy slowly walked up to him. What would Justin Cole want to talk to him? Justin then asked Andy, "You made this right?" while pointing at it with one hand, while his other was resting on his chin.

"Y-Yeah." Andy answered, not really knowing what's going on.

"I really like this picture you made for the Art Show." Justin told as he went from looking at the macaroni picture to Andy. "The coloring you used."

"Yeah," Andy started to say, "It was hard trying to find green cartwheels that match the green on my shirt." Andy then started to slink down a bit as Justin started to eye him down.

"Yeah, but you had a good model." Justin told him as he eyed every part of Andy's body.

"W-Well Justin," Andy began, "I'm pretty surprise you liked my piece. I would have thought you'd like Molly?" Justin just shook his head 'No'.

"Nah, it was pretty obvious Molly didn't paint her's." Justin then leaned in closer to Andy. "And between you and me, I'm glad Molly didn't win. Last thing the Perfs needs is that head of hers to get bigger." Andy was surprised by what he had just heard. From the tone of Justin's voice, he could tell that Justin didn't quite like the Pefs.

"You don't like the Perfs?" Andy asked him for confirmation and Justin nodded 'Yes'. "But, why do you invite them to your parties, year after year?"

"Social status." Justin quickly replied. "But Andy, I was wondering…" trailed Justin as he scratched the back of his head. "Would you like to hang out after school?"

Andy's jaw just dropped and he pointed to himself again.

"Me? But why?" Andy earnestly asked.

"But I want to see more of your art," Justin told him. "And your dancing." Andy just raised an eyebrow. "I was there… when you were announced the winner and did your victory dance. The way your body moved; it was like poetry in motion." Andy just blushed, than said.

"Ok." Justin just smiled and wrapped an arm against Andy as they both walked down out of the cafeteria, while Andy tried to eat his lunch he almost forgot to eat.
