2. Lunch

Sadly, the next few classes went by super quickly. Now it was time for lunch. I was dreading going to meet the people who are now my partners.

But if anything, Nadetta was a girl of her word! So I had no choice, but to go into the living hell, otherwise known as high school lunch rooms.

In my previous school, I didn't eat lunch in the lunch room either. Me and my friends liked to go sit on a bench near a tree and eat there.

Guess there's a first for everything. As soon as I got close to the double doors leading to the room filled with loud and annoying teenagers.

I opened the door and it all just hit me. The noise, the smell, teenagers filling every corner of the room. Way too crowded for my liking. I'm the type of person, who would like to keep atleast a small distance and people here are sitting and standing right next to each other.

I looked around for the table that I'm supposed to be sitting at. And there it was, a round red table, surrounded by eight chairs. Most of wich were occupied. This is gonna be a pain.

Slowly, like a turtle I walked towards my destination. Once the girl who got me into this mess, Hailey, noticed me, she started waving. I for the fiftieth time today pulled the ends of my lips up to a small smile.

"Nadetta! Hey! I saved a seat for you."

"Oh... Um thank you?" It came out more as a question. But in a way it was a question.

"Alright, guys. This is Nadetta. She's new to the school. Be nice" I felt like a child being protected my a mother.. I didn't know if I should be happy or dissatisfied with her actions.

Everyone just said a quick "hi" or "hey" and then went back to their conversations. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought.

"So, Nadetta" Oh yes, she's here. She won't let me just sit here quietly. " Do you want me to introduce you to all of these people?"

"No. I'm here only for the project. Let's focus on that, please." I know, it might seem like I'm being rude, but honestly, I didn't sit down here, to have a conversation about the weather. I want to get this project over with.

"Well, aren't you gonna go get lunch first?" She looked down at my empty hands.

"No." I shook my head a bit. "I always bring my own lunch." And then pulled out a neatly made turkey sandwich.

She nodded and then put whatever was on her fork in her mouth. At this point I was getting pretty inpatient. I've been here for five minutes and still no talk about the project.

Just as I was about to talk to Hailey about it, someone spoke up. "So, Nadetta, was it? I have never heard a name like that before." A guy, sitting across from me looked at me, while fixing his blonde hair, so it wouldn't fall into his eyes.

"I assumed you wouldn't." I replied.

"What do you mean by that?" By his voice, I could tell he was getting a bit mad.

"Exactly what I said? It's a rare name. Barely anyone even knows it exists." My "duh" tone was evident in my voice.

He obviously was surprised by how I was speaking to him. If I had to guess, he's probably a popular jock, who is loved by everyone.

He didn't answer after that. But apparently his amazing attempt to get me to talk made everyone want to talk to me.

"I've heard that you're from New York and that your father is a wealthy tycoon. Is that true?" A girl, sitting next to the blonde asked me.

"Well, yes. It is true." I answered after taking a bite of my sandwich. Little by little I was starting to feel uncomfortable here.

"Is your family like really rich? Do you meet a lot of rich people? Have you met a celebrity?" A female's voice was heard from a few seats away from me.

"My father as the girl previously said, is wealthy. Since we are counted as the upper class, we do get invited to quite a lot of events, where we meet people from the same class. I have met celebrities, but it wasn't because of said events. I went to meet and greets." I'm not even sure why I was telling them all of this.

"Is your father here, too? In the city I mean." The same girl asked.

"No. Only my mother is here with me." I was seriously getting annoyed. I came for the project and ended up with an interview.

"Why did you move here?" A guy, who looked retty similar to the blonde, but with brown hair asked.

And this was my breaking point. I stood up, put my sandwich back into my bag and was getting ready to leave, when I felt Hailey tugging on my arm.

"Where are you going? We haven't even started the project."

" When we're we gonna start it? I've been here for half of the lunch break and the only thing anyone is interested is in me. I came for a project. Not an interview." I got my arm out of her grasp and started walking." Now please excuse me. "

" Rich girl got anger issues. " I heard a guy from the same table I was sitting at, say. So I did the smart thing.

"Shove a stick up your ***." And I left.

A/N: Hello everyone. I appreciate every single one of you, who read this. I know it's not too interesting of a chapter and most of you are probably waiting for romance. But I have to tell you that romance will come in a few chapters.

Now, I'm sorry to whoever doesn't like mature language. My novel will have quite a few mature words.

And to finish this author's note off, I want to tell everyone that English is not my first language. So wherever I make mistakes, please be sure to tell me about them! See you next time!
