~Chapter 5~

"Hellooo, earth to Morgan!" Fingers snapped in front of my face, breaking me from my trancelike state as I idly pushed soggy carrots around on my tray. "Gah!" I shrieked, flinching away.

Kim laughed, "Finally, Iris has been trying to ask you something for the past minute!" I glanced sheepishly at the orange haired girl across from me. Violette sits next to her, "Sorry."

Iris giggled behind her hand, "It's okay. As I was saying, how did English and History go?"

"Well," I glanced down at my tray, "It wasn't too bad…"

"She got a little skittish in History," Kim announced, "Starting talking to thin air and then she ran out of the class. Didn't come back for a while either."

I blushed as all eyes are fixated on me, "I-I really had to go."

"Sure you did, kid," Kim reached over and ruffled my hair. I whined a bit, but she only chuckled more.

"So then, did Amber give you any problems?" Violette asked me.

I shrugged, "A little, but nothing I couldn't handle."

"Don't worry, if you ever have any problems, just come to me and I'll set her straight." Kim grinned and mimicked punching her hand. Iris waved her hands nervously, "A-actually I think it would be best if you went to the office if she gives you trouble Morgan."

"Aw, where's the fun in that?"

I smiled a little, "I'll keep that in mind." I tell them before pushing my tray away, I wasn't hungry anyways. "So," I turned to Kim, "Aren't you going to explain all of the groups to me or something?"

"Oh yeah," Kim grinned and looked around the cafeteria, "Now let's see…. I think we'll start with them, since you know what a majority of them are like." She pointed at a table dead in the center of the room. The 'Barbie Trio' as Kim had called them were sitting there, and to my surprise so was Nathanial and Melody, as well as another girl with short brown hair and light green eyes, "Those guys are the top of the social chain. You've already of course met Amber and her posse, Li and Charlotte. Then there's her brother Nathanial and Melody, who's really not all that bad. Melody I mean, Nathanial is a kiss up and thinks his little sister is an angel, so you definitely don't want to go to him if she gives you trouble."

"They're siblings?" I look between the two, well I could definitely see a resemblance.

"Yep, Nathanial is a senior this year. Oh and the girl sitting next to Melody," Kim nodded at the brown haired girl, "Is Capucine. She's okay I suppose, but she keeps trying to worm her way into Amber's group, so I'd avoid her at all cost. Now over there," Kim pointed at a table in the corner of the room. Sitting there was a girl with short curly hair and a green hoodie, a boy with dark hair that was completely absorbed in a textbook, that was so obviously hiding a video game, and a guy with bright blue hair, "Is Peggy, Armin and Alexy. Peggy is what we call, the 'All-Knowing One' of this school, she has enough dirt on every student that goes, or went here to fill a grave. As far as I know she hasn't decided what group she's with yet, but I have a feeling that she's leaning towards my side. Armin is polite, but his head is always stuck in the games, so it's hard to keep his attention. Alexy on the other hand is extremely out going, but he has a different… taste."

"I think they're very nice," Violette added, "They always stop to talk to me in the hall."

"Did I mention that our Vivi has a huge crush on Alexy? Right, moving on," Kim twisted in her seat to nod at another table, "You've already met Lysander and that's his brother's girlfriend Rosalya. " The girl that she was talking about had unbelievably long silver hair(had I somehow missed an important trend here?) with amber colored eyes. She was talking animatedly to Lysander, who seemed too absorbed in his notebook to be listening.

"Wait, so she's dating his brother?"

"Yeah, Rosalya thinks of Lysander as like a brother… I think. Lys's brother runs the clothing shop by the way, trust me when you see him, you'll be able to see the resemblance between the siblings. Anyways, there's another boy that sits there as well, Castiel, but he isn't here today for some reason."

"I wonder why?" Iris mused aloud.

"You're forgetting someone," Violette said quietly.

"Oh trust me, I didn't forget about him." Kim lightly tapped my hand and nodded to something behind me, "Look over there." I turned to glance over my shoulder and let out a small squeak. A boy with brown hair and eerily(at least to me) green eyes was sitting alone at a table. At that moment he glanced up and our eyes connected. For a moment he seemed a little shocked, but that quickly turned to anger as he looked away, "What's this, have you already met him?" Kim snickered as I looked down at my lap, cheeks red with embarrassment.

"Hey, watch it!" I let out a startled yelp as I fell backwards, jarred by the impact. My eyes screwed shut as I flung my arms upward and something wraps around my wrist, keeping me from momentarily falling. A strange jolt, buzzes up my arm and I cry out, not because it had hurt, but it felt unnatural. Whatever was holding me let go and I finally fell on my butt. For a moment I sit there, before slowly opening my eyes to stare up at whatever I had run into.

The boy glared down at me for a moment, before walking off, not even bothering to help me back up.

"I guess that I don't have to tell you then not to bother developing a crush on him. Kentin isn't interested much in relationships." Kim continued to snicker behind her hand.

I subconsciously rub the wrist that he had held on to. It felt a little sore, but I think that was mostly due to his strength and not that weird feeling that I got, "Who is he?"

Iris played with the ends of hair as she answered, since Kim was still too busy laughing, "Kentin Jones, he's a Juinor. He moved here last year in the early spring." She turned to Violette, "Do you remember his first day?"

The quiet girl nodded, "I felt so bad for him, Amber was being unusually cruel. I think she had just been turned down by Castiel again."

"Hold on back up a sec," I gape, "Amber bullies Kentin?"

"Well he wasn't always that cute…."

"Yep," Kim rejoined the conversation, "Under that masculine look the guy is a total geek, although I wouldn't say that to his face anymore…. His dad sent him to military school for a few months and when he came back, he had changed from a mousy looking twerp into a hunk of muscle."

I sneak a glance back at Kentin, "Wow…"

"Hey now, remember what I said," Kim warned, "That guy doesn't care to be in a relationship, so you might as well give up now."

I shake my head, "I wasn't thinking about that!" I chewed my lip, "Have you ever… touched him?"

Iris, who had been drinking water, choked and sputtered, Violette blinked curiously while Kim raised an eyebrow, "Er, what?"

"N-nevermind…."
