The morning classes went by quickly soon it was lunch.liz left everyone and headed to her locker she took out her history books and made her way to the food court.it was so crowded there was bearly any seats left she spots a vacant table and makes her way to it.wasting no time she began to finish up her history report.not paying attention to anyone soon she was joined by her friends Courtney Lockhart and her boyfriend Lance Brigger.
"Hi Lizzy we bought you a peice of strawberry cake and your favourite shake" she placed it in front of liz who was still busy scribbling in her notebook. After taking a seat she unwrapped her sandwich and began to eat. Lance poked his head in liz's book trying to see what she was writing.
" What are you writing lizzy?" He asked as he opened his soda and took a sip. Liz looked at both of them and then back too her book," well if you must know I'm trying to finish my history report....it's due today, did you guys forget?" She continued on with her work as they chuckled drawing her attention once more. " what's so funny?" She asked with an angry tone. " oh nothing" they both answered in unison. " fine then let me finish this ok then I will have lunch,I'm almost done...I just have a - hey what the hell!" She was interrupted when a peice of paper fell on her,she opened it and read it loud
"you must eat" crumbling the paper she looked around wondering who threw it to her. Scanning the food court her eyes stopped on a certain individual she had met earlier on today. Shayne Mendez was smiling and waving at her. Rolling her eyes she gestured him to join them. He gathered his stuff and made his way to their table, liz shifted alittle allowing him to sit next to her. " why did you- she was cut short again when he turned towards Courtney and Lance. " hey I'm Shayne Mendez it's nice too meet you both." The couple both smiled and began talking to him. After all thier introductions Shayne finally turned to liz who was staring at him angrily. he waved his hands over her face." Hey what's wrong, are you ok?" Blinking twice liz answered in a docile tone. " why did u hit me?" Tilting his head he looked at her then to her friends, " your not eating- why?" Realizing she stilled had work to do liz was about to continue her scribbling when Shayne grabbed her book and gave it to Courtney who kept it on her lap while she began to eat. " hey give me back my book ,I need to finish this report" they all ignored her request and kept on eating. She continued to protest and demanded her book. She noticed her friends chuckling. " guys I need my book please I need to finish my history report,it's due today...remember"
They both laughed and gave her her cake. " eat this first then you will get ur book" Courtney said as she continued eating. Lance didn't seem a bit worried either he jus kept on eatin his fries and sipping his soda." How are you both so calm rightnow? " aren't u you guys worried one bit?" They both looked st eachother and chuckled." We already did our report and gave it to Miss Grey.
"Wait I don't have to do this report too...do I?" Shayne asked with concern. " no you don't it's jus us liz replies,
Shayne sat quietly and ate his lunch as he listened to them argue. " We did our report already Lizzy, remember saturday, we called you too meet us at the library and you said no." Nodding liz recollect their conversation in her head,she couldn't meet with them. " sorry daddy had a meeting with the man you saw the night you came to have our sleepover.he was the same man...so that's why I didn't come with you guys...I'm sorry" sighing she apologises. "I'm jus-
She was cut off again when Shayne broke of a peice of the cake and stuffed it into liz's mouth. " " chew and swallow, you need to eat...class will be starting soon." After much arguing liz finally gave up and ate the cake. 5 mins later the bell rung Courtney handed the book to liz. They all made their way to the classroom.and was about to enter when a girl with long blond hair greeted them. she hugged Shayne and held his hand pulling him into the room leading him to a seat that was next to her.who was this girl? She wasn't here this morning liz thought as she walked in and sat at the back of the class with Lance and Courtney who signaled Shayne to join them.he was about to stand up when the girl sat on his lap hugging him. Liz scoffed drawing his attention as she continued with her work.
After 15 minutes of waiting their teacher didn't show up so everyone was free to do their own thing. They broke up into small groups around the classroom and were chatting and laughing loudly.liz was busy with her book, Lance and Courtney were making fun of Shayne as he was trying to get out of the girls grip. They still didn't know who she was. They jus looked on as she tried to have her way with Shayne. Finally the teacher showed up and opened the door. "Ashley Hales I need you to come to come to the principals office at once". To everyone's suprise, the girl on Shayne's lap got up and began to walk out the door,she stopped and blew Shayne a kiss." I will see you after school ok babyboy" She said winking at him. He jus rolled his eyes and sighed in relief that she was leaving.After she left he got up and walked over to an empty desk next to liz. Before he could sit down Lance and Courtney began their interrogation about him and that girl. He looked at liz who was still writing she looked up at him." I'm not getting in the middle of this Shayne,your on your own" She finished up with her work while the others were chatting about Ashley.
" so tell us who is she?" Courtney and Lance asked trying to get an answer out of him which wasn't easy because he kept avoiding their question.finally after a few minutes he decided to tell them." She and I went to the same school,she was in my class,she likes me and wants me to be her boyfriend but I'm jus not into that rightnow.anyway when she heard I was getting transfered here she applied for a transfer too., and that's it." He said scratching the back of his head." Finally I'm done, phew" liz said as she wiped her eybrow with her hand.she sipped some water from her water bottle. She was happy she had finished her report just in time all she had to do was take it to Miss Grey. She then got up and looked at here friends." Guys I will be back in a few minutes okay I just need to meet Miss Grey. I will be back soon"
She got up and walked out the door.
The hallway was so quiet liz thought as she walked over to a classroom and was about to knock on the door,sumone touched her shoulder causing her to jump and turn around. She was relieved to see a middle aged woman standing in front of her." Miss Grey I was just about to- here" She said handing the woman the book." Thank u Elizabeth,now run along dear,I've a class to teach" the woman said as she open her door and walked inside.liz turned and walks back to her class" Miss Grey dosen't talk much does she?" Upon reaching back to her class liz sat down quietly thinking about what happened earlier she looks up at Shayne and her friends chatting and laughing all the while tinking to herself," who is Ashley?... was what Shayne said true?...was he lying? Or...Does he like Ashley too?...hmmm!
The next class flew by quickly and then it was time for home.liz hurried to her locker and took books out and put books in.closing it she turns around and walks to the courtyard. Shayne And Courtney saw her and waved but she turned and walked out the gate and got into a car that was waiting too tak her home. Courtney tried calling liz but she wasn't getting through.she sighed looking at shayne" I will see you tomorrow ok." Jus as she was about to leave Shayne stopped her " hey can you give me liz's number?" Turning to look at him she smiled as Lance joined her." Sure" she wrote it on his hand and left with lance. Shayne wasted no time in entering the number in his phone he smiled as he walked out the gate and headed towards his car and headed for home.
