DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN PJO!
Ember obviously tuned out of the lesson, and I did too. About an hour and a half later, the bell rang. Everyone headed off to lunch, I got a simple ham and cheese sandwich, and Ember got some noodles. We followed Alice and Bree, they sat at a table with a bunch more people.
"That's Aspen, she's smart and nice, right next to her, Jake, vegetarian, loves nature, the two twins, that's Colton and Tabor. Be careful of them, they love pranks. I do too, but they go way over the top." Bree said.
"Hey, you must be the new kids. Like Bree said, I'm Aspen." said a girl with blonde hair and gray eyes.
Ember smiled, "Cool. My names Ember and this is Milo." she said gesturing to me.
I looked up and nodded, I took another bite and looked down again. I felt something brush against my back, I thought it was Ember's hand, but it wasn't, it was a boy who was taller than me. He tapped on Ember's shoulder, the cafeteria went quiet.
She turned around and looked at the boy, "Can I help you?" she asked nicely.
He grinned and grabbed her wrist, I started started to get up, but she looked at me, he laughed, "Yeah that right! She's big girl, she can handle herself, as for you punk. I'm not so sure." he let go of Ember's wrist and grabbed my shirt and made me stand up, "You're a tiny one aren't you." he said glaring at me, "What your name huh?" he spat.
"That's none of your business." I said.
He laughed again, "All newbies are my business. So what's your name and what's your deal with that girl?" he asked gesturing to Ember.
"I don't think that's any of your concern." I said, I was shaking.
"Aw dogie's shaking!" he sneered and laughed again, he threw me onto the floor.
I looked up and saw him getting closer, but Ember blocked his way, "Hey! You want to get to my friend? Your going to have to go through me." she snapped.
He grinned, "How about you ditch these losers and come with me." he said.
"Sure." she said, then she took his arm, he grinned then she pinned it behind his back, he winced like he pulled something, "When the Earth freeze's over I'll come." she snapped. She let go, "Stay away from my friend and I won't break you." she snapped.
He glared at her and she glared right back, "This isn't over." he spat then disappeared. I saw Ember loosen, she helped me and and we sat back down. The noise picked up again and Ember had her head in her hands.
I heard her sigh, "Mi, I did again. I lost control. Damn." she said.
Just then two boys walked over, one black haired and one blonde haired, they sat down in front of us, "Hey. What's your name?" one boy asked.
Ember looked up, her face was red, she took a breath and exhaled, "Hmm?" she asked.
"What's your name?" the black haired boy asked her.
"What's yours?" she asked back.
He grinned and exchanged glances with the blonde, "Ash." he said.
She nodded, "Ember." she said, "And I would like to eat, in silence, you know, without any talking." she said giving her out of control smile.
The blonde looked at her up and down, and rested on her eyes, "Hey! Stop looking at my friend!" I snapped.
He looked at me, taken about, "Calm down there short guy, what's your name."
"I'm not short and why should I tell you?" I snapped again.
Ember shot me a glance out of the corner of her eye.
"So you are you going to tell us or are we going to have to guess?" the blonde said.
"No I'm not going to tell you." I snapped again.
"Well that's not nice." he said grinning.
"Well I do try to not get involved with asshole's." I said.
He just cross his arms and grinned again, "So, I'm an asshole now?"
"Yes." I said matter-a-fact.
"So, Ember, you said right?" the blonde asked.
"Hey! No talking to my friend! Or any of my friends!" I said, okay my 'friends' was a lie, I really only had one.
"Okay short guy, just calm down a bi-" he started but was cut off my Em.
She was giving them her creepy clown smile, "Oh I have and idea..." she said.
"And what's that?" Ash asked.
"Get away from my friend! He doesn't want to talk to you nor do I, so piss off!" she snapped and gave them her creepy clown smile again.
They back away slightly, "Fine, we'll be back though." he said and winked at me. Why did he wink at me? Why?
