Chapter 43 Mystery solved

Harmoni;

Another Wednesday and another lunch hour without Seth, I noticed the pattern starting to arrive and I hated it, mostly cause I had no idea what he was doing, if I knew then it wouldn't be so bad. I was staring into space as Raven was trying to convince Iziah to tell her the truth about her black eye, Iziah however was sticking to the same stupid story, she punched herself in the face while taking off her shirt, we didn't quite believe that mainly because Iziah is stupid but she isn't that stupid, so of course Rae wanted to know what really happened or more to the point, who did it. Iziah after a while just ignored her and went on with her lunch. Our table went quiet for a moment and I thought that maybe that was the end of it, until John Cena walked in and Iziah stood up in her dramatic fashion,

"Excuse me, bidness to take care of"

Iziah cheerfully (which was creepy in itself) skipped her way to John's table, after some dark words (I'm guessing) to Orton, he left and Iziah shared her conversation with Cena, I had no idea what they were talking about because I wasn't paying attention. When she came back she was actually smiling,

"Well now I feel better"

"I'm afraid to ask why" Raven muttered rubbing her temples. Iziah gave her that mile-wide smirk.

"Me and John had a chat, and to slash a long a story short, we've decided that talking to each other on Messenger, is a great step to take"

"But weren't you majorly pissed when you found out it was him to start with? Why would you wanna talk to him now?"

Iziah merely shrugged and continued on with her yoghurt, we both got it, talking to Cena made her happy but she wasn't about to admit to that, not when people (John Cena) could and would over hear.

"Whatever, I'm going to get something to eat, I am still hungry, imagine that" Rae laughed getting up, girl was always hungry mainly because she couldn't eat much.

"Hold up Rae, I'll come" Now that she mentioned it my pizza hadn't quite hit the spot, so I trudged with her to the line, Iziah as usual pushed in behind us making the girl behind her get very upset, luckily it was Rosa Mendes and she wasn't in the mood to speak English, it wasn't hard to understand but still Iziah opened her mouth.

"Sorry, I don't speak German, why don't you try a language I understand, like Engrish"

Raven pushed me ahead to the window and all words just stopped, Seth was behind the window serving food, only two kinds of people worked behind the cafeteria, poor people and Tyson, and he so wasn't Tyson. When he saw me, his face drained of colour as his 'horrible' secret was now out of the bag, he was poor and in order to eat he was working the cafeteria, it actually wasn't that big a deal but clearly to him it was. Raven however made reality return to normal speed,

"Might as well move on to the next window Iz, Harm is gonna spend the next fourty-five minutes flirting with the cafeteria boy. Hey Seth is there anymore yoghurt left"

Without a word he gave her a yoghurt and she dropped the coins into his hands.

After school I waited for him outside woodshop, he was the last one to come out and when he saw me, his face dopped again.

"Hey, wanna walk home together?"

"Sure"

Needless to say the walk home wasn't very pleasant, well it wasn't at the start, we were both quiet not knowing what to say.

"Seth why didn't you tell me?"

"Didn't know how, how was I meant to say that I am below your class, just a dirt poor guy who can't even afford to eat"

"Below my class? That is a bunch of bullshit, the only people in this town who care about 'class' are sluts like Barbie Blank and her equally slutty friend Eve Torres."

"I'm sorry"

I patted his arm, "I don't see the big issue, it doesn't make you a bad person just because you have to accept a handout in order to survive, besides I know of people who have it worse, hobo's for example, at least you have a roof and food, some hobo's don't even have that. I feel sorry for them,"

Seth finally wrapped an arm around me and kissed my temple, now that I knew where he went on Wednesdays, everything else made sense, why he got locked out, why he had to be home at a certain time, and so on and so fourth. It didn't change the obvious, he was hot and loved Pantera and all the other good parts of him.

"Sorry, but now you know so yeah thats what I do on Wednesdays"

"Oh thank God! I thought Iziah was right and I smelt bad"

Seth let out a chuckle, "You do smell, smell amazing that is"

"Oh you and your cheesy pick-up lines"

"Well I do try"
