#Chapter2

It was time for lunch, Jayla sat at the lonely tables in the cafeteria, she ripped her package and ate one of her mom lunch that she prepared. Instead of socializing with people, she liked staying alone and observing people. She grinned as she listened to a podcast telling funny stories while she eats. She felt someone tapping her shoulders, she took off her earphones and looked at behind her, there was Eleanor, Cole and the mysterious boy, Maxwell.

/"Hey, can we sit here?/" Eleanor asked Jayla nodded quietly as she put her stuff back in her bag, she doesn't like trouble and didn't like having one. As she was getting ready to leave her table, she was grabbed by someone, she glanced at the person and it was Maxwell, holding her.

/"She said can we sit here and not can you leave./" He said in his deep voice, Jayla gulped nervously and nodded silently, not making a fuss. She sat in her old chair and Eleanor sat next to her while Cole sat in front with Maxwell beside him, he was sitting across from her.

/"What's your name?/" Eleanor asked after a moment of silence, Jayla rubbed her arms uncomfortably, she didn't like to interact with people except for Nolan who she knew from kindergarten.

/"My names is Jayla./" She whispered.

/"Speak up./" Max said coldly which Jayla shivered and cleared her throat.

/"My names is Jayla./" She repeated a little louder, the girl beside her smile while Cole nodded and Max grumbled incoherent words.

/"Jayla is an uncommon name./" Cole said which made Jayla shrugged and looked away from them, looking at the window. She felt someone glaring behind her, she didn't want to see or watch him.

/"Well, this is awkward./" Eleanor whispered and Jayla agreed, it was awkward because Max was glaring at her, she felt his glare behind her. She wanted to tell him but was scared that the young man would something to her.

/"Hey, guys!/" Nolan said and sat next to Jayla who looked surprised, she smiled at him for coming to rescue her, he grinned and held a thumb up to her. Max was watching them, the mysterious boy was feeling something that he didn't know and didn't like.

/"Hi, and who are you?/" Cole asked Nolan who smiled, his cheerful smile calmed Jayla.

/"I'm Nolan, nice to meet you guys./" He said and smiled at Max who looked furious.

/"Don't mind him, he has anger issues./" Eleanor said and Max snarled like a wolf, a wolf, Jayla shook her head. She was probably imagining weird things.

/"Oh alright, well welcome to Raven, it's a small city so you will get used to it./" He chuckled.

/"We already know that./" Max muttered with narrowed eyes at him, he glared at the innocent boy.

/"So what kind of things you guys like to do?/" Cole asked quickly, he knew that his friend was mad, more like pissed.

/"I'm a soccer player and loves to party./" Nolan replied with a grin on his face, he pretended that Max was angry just for the sake of his friend Jayla, she always hated the fact people choose violence over communication.

/"Me too, I'm usually the defender but Max is a good attacker./" Cole chuckled as he pushed the grumpy man playfully, he growled in response and rolled his eyes. He looked at Jayla who was frightened by his stare, he smirked and crossed his arms, still watching her.

/"Oh you should sign up for the team, I'm sure Max would be a great captain./" He suggested with a grin, Jayla smiled as he looked at Nolan smile but that just got the angry boy more furious.

/"Exactly, we should do this./" Cole replied with a big smile as he grabbed the inscription paper from Nolan who gave them, Max glared at the poor boy while snatching the paper from Cole, he gave a slight nod to Eleanor at Jayla and stood up to leave with Cole beside him.

/"Well, I guess this is goodbye?/" Nolan furrowed his eyebrows, he didn't hear their response and left their table without Eleanor, Max glanced back at Jayla who was staring at him and without hesitation, he sent her a wink and left in glory the cafeteria with several men that she didn't even see them along with Cole.

/"Who are those guys?/" She asked Eleanor without breaking her stare at five strong back men.

/"The gold hair is Marco, red hair is Peyton, the man with a white bag is Huxley aka my boyfriend./" Eleanor introduced them to her with dreamy eyes toward the man with a white bag, known as Huxley. Jayla went confused about why her boyfriend didn't come here.

/"Why did your boyfriend didn't come with you?/" Nolan asked, knowing Jayla question after seeing her face confused, he could totally read her like a book, unlike those three people that were here before.

/"Because he had work and also didn't have time to meet us, next time I will try to present him to you guys./" She said and drink her water.

/"It's time to go to class, Jayla can you show me where is C190?/" The girl asked kindly to Jayla who gave her a tight nod.

/"Well see you later Nolan./" The girls said to Nolan who waved and left them. As they were walking out of the cafeteria to their class, Eleanor asked a question to Jayla who left her in surprise.

/"Do you find Max hot?/"
