Lindsay was reading in the library on lunch period. So far she hated today. She bumped on a cheerios and the cheerios yelled 'bitch' at her, and she forgot to bring her math book so she get some extra homework from math teacher as a detention, and she refuse to go to the cafeteria to eat because she knows she didn't have any table with any friends in it.

Lindsay wasn't weak. She's a strong girl. Well, she was a strong girl. Back in Modesto she has no fear. But in McKinley its hard to not fear about every single thing on this school.

The only good thing happened to her was she made a new friend, Damian. The Irish guy. She thinks he's kind of noisy and too curious about anything. He couldn't left her alone for 10 minutes without asking her any question. But Lindsay loved being asked questions. It feels like she had an actual friend.

Damian lined on the cafeteria, he's starving. He was so hungry until he saw what food they serve today, it was hamburger and fries. 'Ugh, junk food' he thought. He miss Irish food, he wants to eat Irish food, like boxty and barmbrack. He was going to return the plastic tray back but too late, the cafeteria lady already put the hamburger and some fries on his tray, with a carton of milk.

He grab his food tray and turn around facing the tables. He can see groups of jocks sitting together at one table, so does the cheerios. He can also see groups of 'plastics' as he assumed, and some other groups, all of them sitting in one table with one of their kind.

'oh great, they didn't have table for the exchange students' he thoughts, he stands at the same spots for about one minute, still observing about where he could sit. Until suddenly a tall guy with huge glasses bumped his shoulder

"I'm sorry!" The tall guy apologized.

Damian look at him very carefully, he was wearing bright orange shirt and navy cardigans and a very fitting jeans, "No its fine" Damian replied him with a smile.

"Wow an accent! Are you new?" The tall guy asked him.

"Yeah, Im an exchange student from Ireland" Damian nodded.

"Cool! Im Cameron" Cameron smiled, giving Damian his hand.

"Damian" They did a hand shake.

"So Damian, do you want to sit with me? It must be so hard for a new student like you to find an eating spot at the cafeteria, especially here, where popularity sets the boundaries"

" Yeah sure, thanks!" Damian smiled and followed Cameron as he walk.

They stopped walking when they arrive at Cameron's table. There's only 2 people sitting there, 2 ginger. One was fat and the other one looks like a model.

"So Damian, meet my bestfriend; Hannah and Marissa. Guys, meet Damian, he's an exchange student from Ireland" Cameron introduced him to the gingers. Damian smiled to the gingers and the gingers smiles back.

Damian put his food tray on the table and he sit beside Cameron and Hannah.

"So Damian, when did you left Ireland?" Marissa asked him.

"2 Weeks ago. My parents got divorced and I had to follow my Dad here" Damian replied. He use to bring up his personal life to strangers like its not a big deal.

"Oh god that is awful. So have you join any club yet?" Hannah asked.

"I don't know, haven't decided yet. I want to join football, well I was in the football club back in Ireland" Damian drink his milk.

"Football? You mean soccer?" Cameron asked him.

"Right, soccer. I forgot it called soccer here" Damian nodded.

"Well, you can join soccer team then. But I don't know if the Soccer team still exist yet, Principal Figgins is cutting every extracurricular budget to pay Cheerio's accommodation to New York for nationals cheerleading competition" Marissa said, also drinking her milk.

"What? Your principal do that?" Damian shocked. "Extracurricular budget can never be cut for any reasons back in Ireland" He said.

"Welcome to Lima, leprechaun" Hannah said.

"Maybe you have other interest than soccer?" Cameron asked him, ignoring what Hannah just said.

"I don't know. How about you guys? He asked the three of his new friend.

"Me and Hannah are on the school newspaper and Cameron is joining the basketball team" Marissa replied.

"I see. Do they have like a music club or something? I loved to sing" Damian said. Marissa, Hannah, and Cameron's face suddenly turn intense. They looked at eachother. "What?" Damian asked.

"Well, we have glee club. But you will not want to join glee club" Hannah starts to eating her food faster, like what you do when you're in panic mode.

" Why? It sounds fun"

" Im sure you know that popularity is the only thing that matters here right?" Hannah said, Damian nodded. "If you're in the glee club it means you're in the bottom of the food chain. All the top predators like football guys and cheerios will attack you and rip your stomach"

Damian squinched his eyes, he didn't get it "I didn't get it. What makes joining glee club such a big deal?"

"We didn't get it either. Actually all of us like to sing. We were thinking about joining glee club until…" Cameron stopped talking, his face is getting more intense.

"Until what?"

"until we saw one of the glee club member get slushied right in the face" Marissa told him.

"Slushied?" Damian feel bad for asking too many question, but he couldn't help it.

"Its like fruit flavoured soda, like slurpees" Hannah said, this time she have finished her lunch.

"So let me get this straight, if slushie is a drink, getting slushied means someone pour a slushie on your face?" Damian asked.

"Yep. Well its not poured on your face, but thrown at your face" Marissa said.

Damian is so confused right now, trying to digest the information he get. "What the hell?"
