I sit on the brightly coloured bench during lunch looking at my instagram feed while listening to some music with my EarPods whilst waiting for my Jock friends to finish their Basketball training.
I lift my head to look around me, I nod my head and smile to the people who wave at me. I try to go back to my mindless scrolling when I suddenly feel someone take my earphones out.
“Hey Evan!” I turn to look at Emily who gives me my earphones back.
“Hey Emily, you ok?” I ask, feeling a little frustrated she took my earphones out. I stopped my music on my phone and turned to her.
Emily was dressed in her normal cheerleader uniform which was weirdly short for a college to give to their students. The costume was baby pink and our schools mascot on it, which was a cat, Like every other clique college. I lift my eyebrow at the short skirt she is wearing.
She sits down uncomfortably close to me and puts her hand on my leg.
“I’m alright Evan” She says, pushing a stray piece of my brown hair behind my ear and then puts her hand back on my leg. I take her hand off of my leg and pats it on the bench.
“EVAN!” I breathe a sigh of relief as I see my friends, sweatily running towards me. They surround me on the bench, sitting or leaning against things. Guess we’ve chosen our spot this lunch.
“Hey guys, You ok Sam?” I ask as he lays down on the grass in a sweat and is breathing heavily.
He manages to nod his head and I laugh it off with the other guys.
Some girls in matching cheerleading outfits walk towards us, Anthony’s girlfriend kisses him for a bit too long for my taste and whisks Emily away from us with the other girls. All the jocks also wore matching Letterman jackets representing The college. Elliott sits down a bit away from me on the bench and lays back as they all gather their bearings.
“Evan, are you coming to the party at Mark’s house this weekend?” Elliott turns to me and asks.
“Of course I am, Don’t want to miss out on that. His parties get crazy.” I smile as everyone high-fives and Elliott nudges me with his shoulder.
“Soo, I saw the hottest girl in school getting buddy-buddy with you just now.” Anthony smirks as he says, “you gonna try to get with her?” He looks at me expectantly.
Oh no, always leads to girls, I think to myself.
”Uh dunno yet, We will see wha happens at the party, ay?” I force a smile and Anthony laughs and nods.
We all sit together and talk about Mark’s Party this weekend until the bell sounds for the end of lunch.
“See you guys later?” I yell to the guys and they wave and run the other direction to me.
I shake my head as I begin my walk to History class.
