chapter 2

Time flew by faster than I expected after the bimbo incident and I soon found myself trotting through the hordes of students that flooded the corridors trying to find the designated eating space aka cafeteria 

It was lunchtime and the only thing that was on my mind was food. Am pretty sure I shoved a couple of people out of my way while I was at it,  okay maybe not shoved but definitely pushed lightly and sent them death glares, in my defence hunger makes me a very irritable person and right now I was beyond hungry

I walked in the caffeteria and all eyes were on me for some reason, people speaking in hushed mummers like it was fucking gossip girl, some glaring at me, imagine that, people glaring at my sweet self.

shame.

I finally got my lunch. A large pizza slice, an apple, granola bar and fries. Call me a pig but we both know I skipped breakfast. In my understanding, am supposed to make the most out of this lunch because of the torture my tummy went through this morning. I was so hungry it hurt. 

I sat at an empty table and scrolled through my music trying to find the perfect song for my food because yes I am one of those people that believes there's a song for everything.

I Finally settled for  moonlight by xxx tentacion and started  on my food, savouring the felicitous taste of the pizza, I closed my eyes momentarily, feeling it drive my taste buds wild and go down my throat, i was trying to put a name on the after taste it left in my mouth, am pretty sure I was smiling at this point. Well up until I felt something hover above me.

I looked up and locked eyes with a smiling blond haired girl. I had to bite my tongue back  from whispering barbie. The resemblance was mind blowing. I removed my headphones and looked at her. 

" Can I help you," I asked  monotonously. 

"Aww, you had headphones plugged in, I asked if I could join you," she asked, smiling even wider. This chick will seriously sprain her cheek muscles if she smiles like that one more time if that is even possible.

"Uhmm i guess," she sat barely a second after my reply, I shook my head at her enthusiasm and went back to hogging my food like an animal. A decent animal. Not.

"You know it's really rude to stare," I pointed out when I couldn't shake off the creepy feeling of her watching me eat for the past two minutes.

"Ohh am sorry, it's just you're too BA, your like my hero right now." 

"BA?" I asked confused 

"Yeah. Badass, i like to abbreviate things sorry," 

"It's cool, am lia," I said and she smiled. What the fuck is she so darned  happy about.

"Oh i know, at this point I think everybody knows, like you're kind of 

popular for talking back at brandy,"  She looked like she was going to roll over from excitement. Like a puppy, in my heart I think I find her reactions cute but am pretty sure my resting bitch face is still on.

"Ohh sorry I didn't introduce myself. Am Sierra Andrews, I am a senior. Pink is my speciality, I also love flower crowns and hearts. And omg is that a tattoo," she was rambling and grabbing at my hands, analysing my tattoos. I wasn't sure if I liked her or If I wanted to punch her, I don't like strangers. And this girl is strange.

"Lia, this is so cute." I cringed at her choice of words

Suddenly, the whole cafeteria went  silent. Even Sierra shut up and this chick had been talking for the last five minutes straight, no breathing breaks I swear. I looked up to see what everyone was looking at.  

He was a raven haired guy with the prettiest yet saddest green eyes I had ever seen, he's lips were placed in a tight  line one would think he had never smiled a day in his life, he's skin sort of glistened in the  light, he wasn't the cliche pretty highschool boy kind of gorgeous, he didn't even look like a boy. 

He had this Alpha male sort of Aura, tall brooding hot dark, it was honestly surreal, everything about him was extremely hypnotic, I couldn't tear my eyes off him. 

"Who's that?" I asked in a very dumb tone. Mentally gave myself a concussion for how stupid I sounded. 

"That my dear lovie is Hunter daniels. And no no no Lia I advise you to stay away, he's pretty but trouble, stop drooling ." I quickly whipped at my face and she giggled. This girl was impossible. 

"I wasn't drooling for him. This pizza is unbelievably good," I defended 

"Yah.. right... I believe you," she smirked and I felt myself blush ferociously. The guy had moved to one of the tables where I am assuming the  populars sat judging by their confidence, good looks and centre of attention vibe. He didn't say anything though if anything everyone got a little uncomfortable when he sat down but soon recovered and went back to their laughing and acting too cool to be bothered. 

"Why is everyone so shocked to see him" I asked, the question coming out like I asked about the weather and not  that my stupid ass was beyond curious about  Hunter Daniels.

" he was suspended indefinitely till board decision last sem, so no one really expected him to be back especially since.." she cut off and stared at someone standing directly behind me, it was the same blondie from class. This chick doesn't give up. 

"Well hello Lia i see you got yourself a buddy, one you obviously share a distasteful taste in clothes with," i stared at Sierra's outfit. She was wearing a cute baby pink dress with hot pink heels. I wasn't a huge pink enthusiast but I think she looked fine. 

I stared at the blonde chick again, sending her my fakest smile. 

"I see you actually memorised my name. You must really like me, but you see i don't share those sentiments blondie so move am trying to actually eat my food not throw it up," i said at this point everyone was looking at us. 

Makes mental notes 'this school fucking loves drama' 

"You know I don't know who you think you are talking to me like that. But you don't belong here. So I suggest you crawl back to whatever pit you came from before it gets ugly, Lia'' 

"Omg your face, did you fall from heaven blondie," I asked , feigning sweetness and she looked confused for a second. 

"No but thank you for comparing me to an angel, unfortunately I can't say the same for you,"

"Actually i was gonna say your face is pretty messed up you must have fallen from heaven for it to look that bad, Honestly it's like someone lit your face on fire and tried putting it out with a fork you know, kinda makes me sick," i said and she looked at me as if i had just ran over her dog. Even Sierra looked at me like I had grown two heads. 

"How dare.." she started off. But i cut her off while grabbing my bag and apple 

"Yah yah how dare i. Now I'd like to stay and chat but there are less repulsive things I'd rather look at right now so adios," i said and moved out growing irritated by this girl's audacity and the entire school honestly.

So  I made my way to Ruth, the sweetest old lady on this planet. The only person  I can tolerate in this hell hole
