"To the cafeteria, it's already lunch time." Jennifer responded and smiled, while she hooked her arms with her's.
"Why don't we should call Rachel to join us?." Vivian suggested.
"Let's go, she knows her way to the cafeteria." Jennifer responded as she dragged Vivian along with her.
Not long, Sophia and her group too left the classroom.
Jovan was busy solving some maths question's, Beside him, Jason was sitting on top of his Desk, waiting for him to finish so their could have lunch together as their usually do.
Outside the classroom, Sophia leaned against the wall as she Peered into the classroom through the window every now and then. She was waiting to aske Jovan if he would have lunch with her. Lisa and Angela who just walked out of the classroom with her are no where to be found. They seemed to have disappeared into the washroom after coming outside.
"What am I even doing?" she thought to herself while staring blankly at the floor. "Am I really into him? No... no." She said and shook her heard "I just want to be friends." Sophia denied to her self. "shouldn't he be the one making the effort to come to me? Why am I putting myself in this position because of him?." She reasoned and glanced at jovan one more time. "I need to play it cool from now on" she concluded within herself, With that she made her way towards the washroom to find Lisa and Angela.
==========
"Hsssshhh!"
"Hsssshhh!"
Inside the washroom, the sound of running water splashed against the Washbasin as Angela and Lisa washed their hands and faces.
Once they were done, they stood at the mirrors, wiping away the remnants of the water on their faces. Their hair was a bit messy and slightly out of place. Oddly enough, they were quiet but soon their usual gossip kicked in.
Angela, always the inquisitive one, grinned as she glanced at Lisa. She seems to have remembered something interesting. "You know." she said with a teasing tone "I can't help but smell something fishy here. Are you sure our Queen didn't have a crush on Jovan ?"
Lisa's eyebrows shot up at the question, but she took a moment before answering. she ran her fingers through her hair as she thought about it....."I don't think so. Maybe she just wants to get close to him for help with maths classes you know how she struggles with that."
Angela let out a sigh, clearly unimpressed with Lisa's response. "Please. That's just a cover-up if I have ever heard one. I can see the way she looks at him. It's so obvious."
Lisa gave her a knowing smile and shook her head. She knew Angela is always curios and like to gossip a lot, hence they was no need to argue with her. "And you're always smelling something. One day, your nose is going to get burnt"
Angela smirked and rolled her eyes at Lisa's comment.
"Who are you guys gossiping about?"
just as Angela was about to fire back at Lisa, an unexpected voice Suddenly range out and interrupted them. they instantly froze in place, not even Dearing to breath properly as their recognize the voice.
The sudden question made their hearts skip a beat, and they quickly turned around. Sophia stood at the doorway staring at them, her expression wasn't looking good at all and the smirk on her lips hinted that she has been their from the beginning of their gossip.
Lisa always the fast thinker, was the first to regain her composure. She smiled , trying to play it off. "Oh, nothing." she said casually. "Just chatting about that cream I mentioned this morning, she said she would like to try it....right, Angela?" She cleverly tossed the ball to Angela, who quickly nodded in agreement.
A sinister smile crept on Sophia's face, sending shivers down their spines. Nothing good ever happens whenever she smiled like that.
"Looks like I have been too lenient on you two lately. Fine you're both going home with your two legs today, I won't be dropping either of you off," she said with a stern face before walking out of the washroom... clearly annoyed.
Lisa's face turned ugly, and she gave Angela a sharp nudge, but it was too late. The damage was done. Her expression turned for the worst with frustration written all over her face when she realized she didn't even have a single cent in her wallet to take a bus.
Lisa and Angela exchanged a glance, noticing how Sophia's shoulders tensed up as she walked down the hallway. They both knew that their playful teasing had infuriated her this time.
"You're always causing trouble! Look what you have done. Now I have to trek all the way home, and I don't even have any money to take a bus!" Lisa said in frustration.
"Stop acting like you are the victim here!" Angela's expression twisted in anger. "Why do you have to say that I am interested in your cream? Did I ever say I wanted to buy that crap?. Now she will probably think I'm a skincare junkie like you." she snapped, before walking out of the washroom.
"...Y..yo..you"...
"Hmph!" Lisa pouted
"Bam!" She stomped her foot in anger and chased after Angela.
==========
students were seen making their way toward the school cafeteria. Jennifer was already sitting at one of the tables with her food in front of her.
apart from her ability to talk, she was a glutton. One of the only people who could give Fatty a run for his money in that category.
Of course, to be able to talk, she needed a full stomach.
Vivian had just gotten her food and was making her way toward the dining hall. But the moment she stepped in, the hall descended into whispers.
"Wow…"
"She's really beautiful."
"She seems like a new student."
"Finally we have someone who can compete with the queen.
"Which class is she in?"
Questions began to flying all around, but no one answered them.
Vivian didn't pay attention to them and calmly walked ahead.
"Vivian!...Vivian! Come over here!"
A voice called out to her.
She looked toward the direction of the voice and saw Jennifer sitting at one of the tables, waving at her.
Vivian change her direction and walked toward Jennifer before settling on the seat opposite her.
"It seems you're already popular on your first day in school." Jennifer said with a smile.
