chapter five
Lunch in cressville high was more like a war zone than a place for eating. It was very difficult to find the perfect table and, every table had it own kinda gang.
There was the rich girls table, the mean girls ( Ray-ray and her squad), the rich guys, the cool guys, the nerd, the homies, the weirdos, the couples table, the allergy table, the no peanut zone and many more you could never even think of. I was very fortunate to at least get a table. i even heard some kids charge 5bucks just for a spot. People who couldn't get a table to eat just hang around anywhere, to find places to perch and some kids, don't even get a table till they eventually leave school.
"I heard what happened today....Tina, jade said with her eyes widened out of curiosity.
"What are you actually talking about? nothing happened, jade"
"You must be kidding me..girl. you bumped into that bitch Ray-ray and you saying nothing happened".
"It was just a mistake jade, nothing more".
"Whatever 🙄.., I heard that Michael came to your rescue, you lucky rabbit!".
"He didn't come to my rescue....he was showboating".
"showboating, rescue... it's all the same thing...
"I don't think they ar-
"you like that guy don't you, Tina?"
" Noooo!!!!!! Jade, Why would you think that! I have no feeling for that kind of liar,"
"Liar...hmmm..., is there something you're not telling me. What happened Tina?..., tell me everything."
"Yikes!!!.. nothing happened jade. can we please change the subject you're starting to get on my nerves".
"well... it would be very bad if you liked him though, jade confessed. you know, he's my crush...?"
I don't care!
I spotted max approaching and I could see jade tense up.
"Hmmmmm...... your hubby is here"
"Hi girls " max said, smiling sheepishly.
" Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"... we both replied almost together
"Anyone care for some"....max asked handing out some cokes towards us.
"Nah....I don't think I want some, I've been trying to control my caffeine consumption recently.., perhaps, jade would want one". i reached my hand to give a coke to the already blushing jade. I could see the satisfaction in Max's eyes. Love!
"Thanks.....so much girls but I've gotta bounce. See y'all Inna bit.." max said as he rose up to leave.
"What was that all about, jade. you couldn't even speak a word to him"
"Nothing! Titi....I dunno why I found it hard to speak"
"Hmmmm....you like him don't you?. jade, you're crushing on max!.. wow go tell him nowwwww. I bet he'd be shocked"
"No!!.... I'm not crushing on anybody titi, and besides he's not my type."
Type? ಠ﹏ಠ ...is jade really talking about type? Who wouldn't like max? he's funny, sweet, caring. IS she SERIOUSLY kidding me? !!!
Anyhow it's not my problem, it's theirs to talk about and I don't want to be a part of it. I already had a lot of issues on my hands. starting from being late to my class and being on the teacher's records. Nothing was more important to me right now.
