Erudite High

Chapter 2

I leave math and begin heading to lunch when I feel something hit my foot and I fall to the ground.

But before my body slams to the ground I put my hands out.

In one swift movement I do a "push-up" and stand like it never happened.

"Smooth" Lynn whispers.

I look to see who did it.

UGGGHHHH.

It's the one and only Christina! (Hence the sarcasm).

Oh and even better her partners in crime Marlene and Lauren!

They stand there cracking up, Christina with her annoying pig-like laugh, and Marlene with her quiet non-audible laugh that makes her look like she's just shaking.

I almost laugh just watching them laugh.

They just keep laughing.

"Oops. Did I do that? I'm sorry! I wouldn't want you getting hurt before your BIG GAME!" Christina says sarcastically and they continue to laugh.

I just walk into the cafeteria and sit in my usual spot with Lynn, Shauna, and some other girls on my team.

After a while of eating I feel something hit my back.

I go to touch it.

Whatever it is, it's gooey.

Gross...

"Oops! Sorry AGAIN! I really have to be more careful!" I turn around.

Great.

Christina and her crew are at the table next to me.

And whatever is on my back is probably food.

Oh it's ON!

I grab some of my mashed potatoes and fling them right into her hair.

"OMG! I'm so sorry! And that weave was probably SO expensive!" I say.

She just makes a grunt.

Then one of her friends throws some salad at my head, but I duck and it hits Lynn.

And she....

looks...

PISSED!

She grabs a handful of her food and chucks it at the table.

The girl it hit falls hard to the floor.

I smirk.

I look back at our table and nod, giving them the 'let's show those girls what we've got' look.

We all start throwing food back and forth between tables.

Soon all the other tables join.

Then the whole cafeteria.

Even Four and his dumb friends are having fun.

I look and in the corner of my eye I see Four dump some liquid (probably soup) onto Zeke's head, then takes the rest and pours it down some random guy’s pants.

I can't help but start to laugh.

Four looks over at me with a smirk that quickly disappears when he sees it's me and I look away.

I was staring at him.

Crap.

It didn't mean anything I was just amused.

But I'm not sure that's what he thought.

I push the thought aside and continue throwing food.

Until I see someone walk in.

Everyone stops.

Except one kid.

Uriah.

He throws a roll right at the person.

And the person.

Just so happens to be.

The Principal.

"Christina, Beatrice, my office. NOW!" she screams.

I smirk at my friends trying to play it cool but I'm honestly freaking out.

Ya, I'm a little rebellious but never in school.

I walk into her office and she closes the doors behind us.

This is not going to end well.
