Cameron walks into the cafeteria. His eyes scan the whole room, looking for the familiar faces of his bestfriends. It took him awhile but he could see a flash of a red haired girl. Cameron walks toward her and greet,

"Hey 'Riss, where's Hannah?" Cameron asked and he sit down on the chair beside Marissa.

Marissa jumped a bit, "Hi Cam! She's having a physic quiz right now, she'll be here in any minute" Marissa stare at her food, which is mashed potato and ribs, trying to be as calm as possible. Marissa and Cameron has been bestfriend since like forever, but when they entered High School and they grew up and learn about feelings, Marissa never able to see Cameron as his childhood bestfriend anymore. He is her crush. And there's no way she's not freaking out when she's alone with his crush.

"I see, how about Damian?"

"He'll be here. Hannah said he will bring a friend, but I don't know who it is" Marissa replied, try to look at Cameron's eyes but she failed, she keep staring at her mashed potatoes.


Damian was standing outside the Math Class, Lindsay's last period before lunch break is Math. He want to say sorry for annoy her and he want to ask her to sit with him at lunch. He can hear the Math Teacher ends the period and he can hear the students murmured and leave the classroom. He waited for Lindsay to come out of the classroom, it seems like she came out the last.

"Lindsay!" Damian called her as she leave the classroom.

Lindsay turned her head, looking for the person who just yelled her name, it was Damian. 'Oh no' She thought. She stopped walking.

Damian walks toward her, "Umm Lindsay, I want to say sorry for-"

Lindsay cut him before he could even finish his sentence, "apology accepted"

"Awesome" Damian smiled, "So, I was wondering umm I never see you at the cafeteria before"

"That's because I never there"they started walking, "I always at the library on lunch break"

" Why is that?" Damian asked.

"Well, its complicated" Lindsay stare at her feet.

"Do you want to go with me?" Damian asked spontaneously, 'Oh shoot, what the hell I just said'. He can see the confusion in her eyes. "I mean to the cafeteria! like do you want to have some lunch with me? Actually its not only me, there's a few of my friend too, so its not only both of us. Yeah, theres a few friend aaand I probably should stop talking"

Lindsay was confused for a second, but she suddenly laughed, "yeah sure why not haha"

Damian can feel his cheek blush. They continue walking to the cafeteria in silence.

Marissa looked at her food, slightly disgusted. Last summer when she decided to do an intense weight loss program to make her look more 'attractive' she reached a point where she refused to eat at all and she fainted. Her mom called the doctor and the doctor said she is having an eating disorder.

"You okay 'Riss?" Marissa didn't realize Cameron is staring at her, looking at how disgusted she is to her food, "You seems disgusted"

"Im fine. I just don't feel like eating. I eat too much breakfast today, my stomach is still full" Marissa lied. She didn't eat any breakfast today, except a cup of coffee.

"You sure?"

"Mhmm" Marissa nodded, and forced herself to put a spoon of mashed potatoes in her mouth.

"Honestly, ever since you change into.." Cameron gestured his hand to her, "into this new you, you never seems like the way you used to be".

"Like what?" Marissa took another spoon of mashed potatoes.

"You know, cheerful, bubbly, the way you used to be, the old you"

Marissa feels like Cameron just slapped her in the face so hard, "Cameron, what are you talking about? Im still me"

Cameron sighed, "I know, but theres something different about you, I haven't figure out what is it yet"

"Oh" Marissa looked down to her mashed potatoes, her appetite turned from zero into minus 10. It feels like Cameron just slapped her one more time.

"Hi guys!" Cameron and Marissa turned their , it was Damian. And he brought a friend, just like what Hannah said.

"Hi Damian" Cameron greet him.

"Guys, this is Lindsay. Lindsay, this is Cameron and Marissa" Lindsay smiled at the nerd and the ginger when Damian introduced her to them, Cameron smiled back, Marissa forced a smile because her mind still thinking about what Cameron just said. And then she and Damian sit down to the empty chair.

"I think I knew you from somewhere" Cameron said to Lindsay.

"Yeah, you're on my P.E. class last year" Lindsay replied, "Or maybe you read about me in Jacob's blog"

"Oh! You're that girl! Can I ask you how can you get slushied?" Marissa suddenly seems interested in her.

"Umm, I don't feel like talking about it right now".

"Right, okay, Sorry" Marissa apologized.

"No its fine" Lindsay smiled.
