After the longest 3 hours of Colin life, he staggered into the lunchroom, hoping for something to eat to take off the edge on his mind. He had been given homework in 3 classes already, been yelled at a teacher for not knowing how to do a math problem, and he had known absolutely no one in this classes. He was eager to finally get to meet new people.
"Ok, just go sit down at a table. Anyone is probably gonna let me sit down... at least, I HOPE they do. Maybe they'll move, or maybe I'll be laughed at and forced to-"
"Hey Colin, sit over here!"
He looked to ver to see Leni, Luna, and Luan all sitting at a lunch table together.
"So much for meeting new people," he mumbled as he sat down at the table.
"So how's the first day going, dude? Stressed out yet?"
"Well, I can't name any of the presidents in civics, I can barely do long division, and I can't tell the difference between an aardvark and an anteater. But on the bright side, I'm decent in gym basketball."
"I guess you could say he's SHOOTING for the stars!" Luanda laughed as the table groaned. Except for colin, who laughed.
"Oh yeah, I'm the best player we got. It doesn't slow me down that I'm huge, either. It's like 5 years old chicos playing against Lebron!" He said as she let out a snort and a small laugh.
"Hey, where's Lori, though?
"Who?"
"Just ignore Leni, unless it's really important, mate. She sits with Bobbi at the table 2 spots behind us."
Suddenly, a voice came out of nowhere.
"Lori, check it out! Let's eat lunch here, today!"
"Bobbi, are you sure you want to sit next to my sisters?:
"Yeah, yeah! Besides, Colin can speak spanish, so it should be fun."
"Ugh, fine! But you owe me for letting you do this!" With that, she walked off to hang with her friends, leaving Bobbi to sit adjacent to Colin.
"Oye, Colin! ¡mucho tiempo sin verte!"
"Lo sé, es como si no te hubiera visto desde el primer período!"
"Your in 11th grade, right?" Asked Bobbi to Colin.
"Yeah, I'm actually the exchange student for school" he lied, figuring it much easier than the truth. "I'm from Mexico."
"Hey, TACO bout a close relationship between you two! Ha ha, get it?"
Colin looked at Luan, saying, "Im guessing you have a passion for comedy."
"Heck yeah! I could probably tell you all the jokes I know! Both setup AND punchline!"
"Oh god," Luna said as she laughed, "please save us the torture!"
But Colin didn't even care about the jokes anymore. He was too busy focusing on the girl with the short, brown hair and rock star look who was just laughing her head off in front of them. He saw her flip her hair to the side, the brown eyes that Luna had. But pretty soon, Colin had snapped out of it.
"You ok, Chico? You look sick..."
"No, I'm OK, Bobbi. It's just that... that..."
"That what?"
"It's just that this cafeteria food is DELICIOUS!" he said, changing the subject at the last minute.
"Dude, you think that the fish sandwich they're serving is GOOD?!"
"Hey, as long as it goes down, it has no business being brought out again." And so Colin ate the last of his lunch, went to class, and got home not knowing or realizing what had happened earlier at that lunchtable. little did he know it would lead to the biggest part of his lifd.
