•Kylie's POV 
“ Kylie!! ”
I turned back hearing my name, it was Anna. She was running towards. I puff out air waiting for het. Immediately she got to me, she placed her hand on my shoulder catching her breath.
“ Did you run that far ? ” I asked her squinting my eyes.
“ Not that far,” she responded, “ Just from the Psych class.”
“ Oh okay.” Then why did she run ? Some people are just weird.
She stood up straight after controlling her breathing, “ You are going to the cafeteria.” I nodded, even though I don't want to go, I have to, just because of Dexton. “ Can you do me a favour ?” She asked looking down at her fingers, fiddling with it.
“ What is that ?” I narrowed my eyes to her in curiosity, wondering what she wants to ask from me.
“ Well...you see...” she starts stuttering, “ Can we not sit with the boys today ?” she looked up at me with expectancy.
I mentally scoffed at that. I twitched my lips thinking whether I should comply with her request or not. “ Are you ignoring Ray ?” that was the only reason I could think of for her not sitting with the boys. 
“ Er...yes,” She mumbled looking down, “ Will you sit with me ? Me, you and Cami. I will pay for your meal.” She bit her lips, looking hopeful that I will agree to her offer.
Her offer seems tempting at the same time not tempting enough, I got free food waiting for me. Which one is more better, a meal from the school cafeteria or an experienced chef. Definitely a chef. Sorry Anna, I think I have to pass.
“Ashton will be there.” A voice in my head reminded me, now remembering that, I think I should take her offer.
But on the second thought I should not, her ignoring Ray does not make total sense. I thought they talked about it and settled themselves so now why is she avoiding him ?
“ If I may I ask, why are you avoiding Ray ? I saw you chasing after Ray in tears, did you not talk to Ray ? Or did he really sleep with that girl ?”
Her eyes became teary, “ No he did not.” She shaked her head answering. “ We talked but it did not go well, he did not cheat on me.’’ She sniffed, raising her hands to her face wiping the tears off her face.
“ What happened ? If he did not cheat on you then why are you guys not together ?”
“ We broke up.”
“ What ?!” I shouted, making everybody's attention turn on us, we are standing in the hallways near the counselor office which is not far from the cafeteria. I mumbled an apology to them, they all turned their heads away but some are still staring at us. “ What do you mean by we broke up ? Why did you guys break up ?” I queried her lowly.
“ Uhm... At first I did not know he did not cheat on him, so I told him we should break up since all he wants his sex-” my head tilt as I listen keenly at what she is saying. “ He decided not to explain himself saying even if he did, I will not believe him but I will ... I did believe him when he said he is a virgin and he did not cheat on me, I saw the truth in his eyes. I wanted to tell him that I believe him but he walking away accepting to break up.” She cried, her body vibrating as tears flowed down from her eyes. She looked almost...pitiful.
“ Is that not what you want ?”
“ No, I never wanted to, I did not even know when I blurted those three toxic words, ‘ let’s break up’, I did not know.” she sighed.
I chuckled, “ Well I'm just going to tell you two things then you make your choice. Okay ?”
“ Okay.” She forced a smile.
I started by explaining the scenario of what if she do ignore him  “ So imagine if you avoid Ray till when he is ready or when you are ready, looking at you right now, I think you are going to avoid him forever. Well you are giving an opportunity for another girl to make him hers. The girl swoops into his life, making him forget about you then when you are ready, he is already in love with the girl or you talk to Ray, explaining yourself, settle your beef with him, pester him till he forgives you then no one swoops in his life, only you forever.
So which one will you choose ? You ignore him then later regret it or You talk to him and later you will be happy you did, no matter the result. What is your answer ?”
She closed her eyes and breath in and out, she did it for a while before opening her mouth to talk, “ I am going to talk to him.”
I smiled, happy at that she picked that choice. “ Well since that is settled,” I link my arm with hers, “Let's go to the cafeteria, I'm hungry.”
Anna shakes her head with a chuckle, “ You are always hungry.”
I gasped finding what she said offending,  “ I'm not a glutton!” I pouted, pulling my arms out of hers walking ahead from her. Just because I love food that does not mean I'm a glutton.
“ I did not mean it like that,” I heard her say as she walk up to me, “ I'm sorry.” her voice came out low. I turned to give her a good scolding only to be bashed on the forehead. “ Ow!” I cried out in pain, massaging my forehead.
“ It feels like I'm being hit by a brick. ” She hissed in pain, as she rubbed her forehead. How did she get to me so quickly ? “ Oh God, it feels an hammer hit my forehead.”
“ I could say the same to you. ” I retorted, still massaging it. The pain subsidize a little.
She rolled her eyes at me, “ Anyways why haven't you been coming to the cafeteria ? It is unusual of you. Also Ashton, not being seeing the both of you since two days I think.” 
“ Ashton has not been coming to the cafeteria ?” I asked, to be sure I heard her correctly. I can't believe I've been skipping lunch just to avoid someone who is not there. Oh yeah, Eric told me.
“ Yes.” She nodded her head, “ you seem surprised, so you don't know ?” I nodded my head as response. She mouthed an ‘oh’. “ Well then let's go.”
I smiled when a thought crossed in my mind, there is a probability he won't be there and that is one.
Yay!
•••••••••••••
I was wrong, totally wrong.
The probability is zero point zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, many zeros, point one.
He was sitting near Camille who was talking to him but he did not seem to be listening to her, he was tapping on the table absentmindedly, nodding anytime Cami turns to him.
I chuckled.
“ Hey let's go.” Anna tugged my arm, dragging me towards them. It felt like as if he sensed me, his head whipped towards me then his eyes sparkle in joy as the corner of his mouth turned upwards and finally a dimple appeared. His smile screamed happiness, his dimples are so cute. It could make any girl swoon over him.
Snap out of it, Kylie, don't admire him.
My eyes averted from him to Cami who was glaring at me, I wonder what is her problem during these days. She has been giving me cold shoulders, I should talk to her. I shrug it off, not feeling bothered about it. I turn my attention to Dexton who was stuffing his mouth with pasta.
Anna left my hand and slowly walked to Ray who was trying every possible best not to look at Anna, his attention was on his food. He was playing with his meal, the porridge was still filled up in the bowl does not look touched. Then my eyes shifted to Kelly who was talking to Eric, Eric's eyes snapped to me and a smirk find it's way to his lips.
Weird!
I raised my brows and mouthed a ‘what’ to him, he shrugged then focus his attention back to his soup, he scoop the soup then raise it to his lips sipping it looking at me. Knowing for the fact he is doing it to annoy me, I rolled my eyes at him then turn my attention back to my chef, Dexton.
“ Dexton,” I called his name and his head snapped towards me, I opened my mouth to speak but I got interrupted by Ashton.
“ Uhm... Kylie...I ordered food for you,” He looks nervous, I looked at the food placed infront of him. I lick my lips staring at the chicken and waffles,  he really do know how to order food. I'm not going to eat with him. “ Thank you, but Dexton brought food for me, is that not right Dex ?” I turned to face Dexton with a smile on my face.
Dexton looked up at me with pasta in is mouth, he stared at me for a while before dropping the fork, he swallowed the pasta then look at me, “ Well you see...” He rubbed the back of his neck, “ I forgot.” instantly he said that, I smacked him on the head, call it impulse.
Is he freaking serious ?!
“Ow!” he pouted, rubbing his head. “ I'm sorry.” he apologized seeing the stern look on my face.
“ What am I going to eat ?” I whined.
“ Well you could eat the food Ashton ordered for you,” Dexton suggested, grinning at me. I let out a hiss, rolling my eyes at him.
There is no way I'm going to eat that food even if it look so frickin delicious. I'm not going to, I have pride.
Then I remember...
“ Anna let's go and order for our meal.” I told her, “ I hope you remember that you are paying for my meal.”
She was standing near Ray staring at him since, so pathetic! She looked up at me when I called her name. “ Huh ?  Pay for your meal ?” I nodded my head at her. “ Don't you remember when you said you will.”
“ I said if you sit with me.”
“ Well are we not going to sit with them, let's go order.”
“ I have to talk to Ray.” She said, then Ray finally looked up at her.
Way to go Anna, using me to strike a conversation with Ray. I just feel like flinging this pasta at her and I did.
Well the only problem is that...
“ What the fuck is wrong with you ?!!” Cami yelled standing up, the pasta was supposed to fall on Anna rather it chose Cami's shirt. “ What were you thinking ?”
“ My pasta!!!” Dexton cried, looking at situation his meal is. Spread allover Cami's shirt, some on the table and on her half eaten burger. Well that serves him right.
“ It was supposed to touch Anna not you.” I bite my finger and mumbled “sorry.” to her.
“ That pasta was meant for me ?” Anna screeched, I nodded my head at her. “ Yeah but unfortunately it touched Cami's shirt.” I bit the inside of my cheek trying to hold my laugh but the boys were very comfortable to laugh out loud. Cami glared at me with her chest heaving up and down, fuming in anger.
“ You are going to...”
“ Just go and wash the stain away.” Kelly said cutting her off, still laughing at her.
She glared at me before walking away.
And I let out my laugh, “ Well that was eventful.”
“ You threw my pasta away Kylie, you wasted food!” Dexton shrieked still staring at that pasta.
Oh poor pasta! 
“ I'm sorry and I'm not sorry, definitely not sorry.” I grinned at him, he glared at me.
“ Ray please can we talk ?” Anna asked him again, her eyes shone in tears looking at him which seems to affect Ray. He hates seeing her in tears, he loves her. He sighed standing up, “ Lead the way.” She smiled at him then they walk away. Seeing young people makes wanna cry; where will my time come. 
“ What's up with those two ?” Kelly asked, staring at their retreating figure. 
“ Maybe they had a fight.” Eric answered.
“ A lot of couples has been fighting a lot recently.” Kelly commented laughing, I sighted Ashton glaring at him then Kelly winked at him, laughing.
I wonder what that means.
Not my business, my business is my stomach. I need something to eat. I could just go and buy food myself but it seem too weird. Meeting these boys, I have gotten used to them buying food for me so it is now weird to pay for my meal.
Call me gold digger, I don't care.
I sighed looking at the food that was in front of Ashton. That is my only option to feed my stomach.
Fuck pride.
I marched my way towards where Ashton is, sitting near him. I avoided his eyes but I could tell he is smiling. Grumpily, I pushed the tray to my side, taking the waffles in my mouth.
I'm supposed to have pride but I shove it down to my ass.
Poor pride!
“ I thought you said you are not eating with him,” I glared at Eric to shut up, his body vibrates with laughter. “anyways there is a cheerleading audition going on, there are looking for more participants, you could audition for it since you are a girl and don't have any sporting activities doing.” 
I rolled my eyes. “Just because I'm a girl Eric, that does not mean I should join cheerleading.” I noted. 
He shrugged, “ Well I'm just saying.”
Thinking about it, if I join cheerleading I could make other friends and it will so much fun doing gymnastics again. My training won't go for a waste. 
“ I will think about it.” I told him and he nodded his head at me.
My eyes turned to Ashton, the way he is looking at him was totally weird. His head placed on his palm, elbow resting on the table, his smile was so wide that his dimples popped out well. 
I tried ignoring but it was creeping my nerves up.
“ Why are you looking at me like that ?” I voiced out.
He blinked his long lashes before letting out a cough, “ I'm sorry.” He looked away.
Okay that was weird, he did not talk back just apologize. That is totally weird.
What's up with his new attitude ?
Did Eric...
My eyes snapped to Eric, he winked at me smiling.
He f**king did.
“ No body is worrying about my pasta!” Dexton cried.
Poor Dexton, poor pasta!
