Chapter 79

We go back to the school cafeteria to find it still crowded with students, as there seems to be no classes today, and I wonder what exactly is happening to the schedule of the school.

It seems we haven't had classes at all for the past four days, and I can't seem to find a reason why. We've only had classes here and there, and even then the teachers always seemed in a rush to go do something else. I wonder if it's because we are in our final year in high school, or is it because they simply do not want to teach us anymore. We're frustrating, I know.

The main thing though, is that the cafeteria is crowded, and we do not find any suitable spot to sit. We are away from the secluded place that was my hideout and school secret though, and it seems to occurr to me just now, that I'd actually shared the secret with someone who knows little to nothing about me.

I had always thought I'd share the secrets with someone special, someone who held all the keys to my heart, and knew exactly how to make me feel happy. I had always thought I would forever share that spot with Aron because he was exactly that person, but yet here I find myself in the middle of yet another unplanned decision.

Why I offered to have lunch with him I do not know. I think it was mainly out of the impulse to get out of a secluded spot, and as far away from him, but I think having lunch with him would have to exclude that part of being far away from him. "Maybe we can go somewhere else for lunch" he says, as he can clearly see the dumbfounded look in my eyes.

How is the cafeteria this full towards the end of the day?. It seems students have nothing else to do, but to just eat and gossip. I can see different variety of games going on at different corners of the cafeteria, as it seems today, this is where all the action is going down.

I instinctively look for Eras and Oakley, but I can find no sight of them. The memory of Scott and Oliver comes back into my mind, and I can feel panic flit through me.

I whip out my phone and send a message to him, for some reason it seems my brother cannot help but get himself involved in some sort of trouble or the other today. He doesn't answer my text message at first, but I know he is currently on his phone, the notification that is online proves it, and I I wait expectantly for a message back.

"What's up? He texts and i sigh I relief "Where are you?" I ask and he texts me the name of a restaurant. I can feel relief overcome me.

Clay still looks at me expectantly, and I wish he would stop doing that, it makes me lose focus and I don't seem to like that feeling very much. "I know somewhere we could go" I say, and he raises his eyebrows up in a question. I give him the name of the restaurants and he begins walking outside. I don't think we'll be able to get a bus at this moment, but he doesn't lead me to a bus, he leads me to a car that makes me groan. Why do I always seem to get myself involved with people like this??.
