Chapter Eleven ( The School Cafeteria )

The class was dismissed during lunch hour. I waited for everyone to leave for the cafeteria, I didn't know why, I just did. The class became empty in a few minutes. I stood up to leave as well when I noticed Gorge was still sleeping. Why is he always sleeping? Is it like a condition or something? '' Gorge!! '' I called but got no response from him '' Gorge!!!! '' A bit louder this time and still got no response. Due to how quiet the class was, anyone would hear the drop of a pin so there is no way, he would say he didn't hear me. He probably just doesn't want to answer. I guess he wasn't hungry. We got Maths Class after this. One has to be well-fed for maths class but I guess his case was different since he never pays attention in class and all he ever does is sleep. '' Gorge '' I walked closer to him and tap his back slightly

    '' Hmmm. Mmm'' he mumbled in his sleep

    '' Gorge, wake up '' I said

    '' what is it? '' asked in that sleepy tone, still in his sleeping position

    '' It is lunch time '' I announced. After a while of silence. I heard movement. I watched him seat up. He lifts his head to look at me with those sleepy eyes '' aren't you hungry?''

    '' No '' shakes his head, then look away from me so he would bend to the side of his seat to get his bag pack '' My mother...'' he began while searching the bag '' Believes that it is safer to eat food.... from home '' he brought out a blue lunch box then looks at me once again and gave me that smile '' She lacks trust in the school food ''

    '' That is very sweet of her.'' I thought out loud and wondered what his mother looks like. Surely, she is very beautiful for her to have such a handsome son. '' So she wakes up to pack lunch for you?'' I asked curiously

    '' not often. She is always busy at work so the maids does it. But whenever she is home, she tries to pack it for me '' I smiled at the mum's boy in front of me '' And I like it.... it saves me the stress of going to the cafeteria '' Giving me that frustrated look '' is too far '' he whined.

    '' You are a funny guy ''

    '' And a handsome one too '' he added with both hands on his cheeks, acting all cute. I laughed at his silly act

    '' well, I have a strong system and do not mind if the food is safe or not. I have to eat '' With that I walked away

    '' hurry back '' he yelled after me.

            From a distance, I heard the noise coming from the cafeteria. And the smell of food filled the air. As I reached the entrance, the moment I stepped in, the place went silent. My eyes explored the large hall filled with students who were once charting and laughing. Now they all carried this puzzled and irritated look. Perhaps they were wondering what I was doing there. Wondering if I truly intended to seat among them and eat. As usual, they will say that I am polluting the environment.

          I walked to go get a tray. As I walked pass students to go get my food, they all made way for me, more like moved away so that they wouldn't contact whatever disease I carried along with me. I didn't mind, thank goodness, I would get food on time and get to eat. I was served food, enough food. I stood in the middle of the hall, wondering where to seat. I notice that they all didn't want me to seat with them and I also didn't have interest in seating with them either, if only they knew. I wasn't interested in talking to them or hearing whatever they had to say, I didn't like them as much as. they didn't like me if only they would get that in that stupid brain of there. Then we would leave in peace with everyone minding their own business.

           I made my way to the empty table at the far end of the room. A perfect spot to be alone, away from them. The Table looked dusty, it seemed like no one seats there. I took out my handkerchief and cleaned the table and the chair. Then place my tray on the table and began to eat. I was given rice and fries. And Damn, it tasted good. Surely it had to taste good after all. Students paid a large amount of money for this food. '' hmm '' a gasp escaped my lips due to how delicious it tasted'' This is good '' is spoke under my breath. I notice the Cafeteria was still silent and felt all eyes on me. Their stares were like knives, stabbing my flesh but only that, I do not bleed, I can't let myself bleed. They can stare all they want, after all, they had all the time in the world, but I do not. I have to finish eating and get to class, still have a lot to cover. I suddenly felt a familiar presence above

    '' Seriously '' that voice spoke out. Cassandra. She walks to the side and sat on my table. she had her arms crossed and her eyes were locked on me, I could feel them but I had no interest, I have to finish eating. two other girls, Martina and Isabella, made their way to my other side, while the other remained behind me, I guess that is Sara '' what are you doing here? '' She asked a rhetorical question. I continued my food '' I asked what are you doing in here? '' she snapped

    '' Hey '' Sara, from behind pushed my head with a finger, resulting to my spoon, slipping out of my hand and it landed back on the tray. thank goodness it didn't drop on the floor '' She asked a question '' I would have been really upset if they wasted expensive food. '' have you gone deaf '' she pushed my head again

    '' Stop doing that...  I am trying to eat '' I said

    '' What? …. ha.. this pathetic beggar '' Cassandra let out

    '' Hey.... bitch '' Martina said while I reached for my spoon again '' You can't just come in here and ruin the atmosphere, then sit comfortable and eat the food we paid for you thief ''

     '' The place stinks because of you '' Isabella said and I raised an eyebrow in confusion, it the place stinks then why are they standing next to me? They should avoid me like everyone else. They are disturbing my eating. '' Hey we are talking to you '' Isabella moved the tray away from me

    '' Then leave '' I finally spoke up since that is what they want

    '' What '' Cassandra let out '' We should leave ''

    '' Yes.... since the hall stinks because of me, don't you think it is best to leave. And you shouldn't be sitting this close to me are I may pass my stink on to you '' I smile and the hall went

    '' woooooooow '' they sounded like they were watching a movie and got hit by an interesting action. Cassandra looks around, angered by the people's reaction. I reached for my tray and pull it back towards me

    '' You piece of shit '' she called. Then took my drink and pure it inside my food and the rest on my head. I totally saw that coming. Kids from my previous school did the same to my times with Qout number. I am even surprised she didn't do it sooner

    '' aaaaaaa....aahahaha '' they all bust into a laugher

    '' Watch your fucking mouth '' she snapped and instantly, I received a slap resulting to my head tilting to the side '' bitch '' she breathed heavily. With my eyes closed, I was about to reach for my handkerchief when I remembered

    '' Damn... I used it to wipe the table '' in a low tone

    ''What is she murmuring about '' Isabella sounded confused. I decided to use my sleeve to clean my face. When I finally opened my eyes, it fell on my food. My rice was turned into porridge rice. They wasted my food. My expensive food. Looking at the tray, I frowned. I lift my head to look at the camera at one corner of the hall. Prove that the authority was watching what was going on but would not do anything about it. But, the moment I react, the school will take the case immediately and make my life miserable. This will also rick the scholarship I just got. I can not play this game.

    '' what are you going to do now slut.?'' Cassandra laughed and the once quiet hall began laughing again. They want to know what I will do. I would show them what I would do. I picked up my spoon and began eating again

    '' holy shit, she is eating ''

    '' what the fuck ''

    '' she has no sham ''

    '' she is really eating it ''

    '' blablablabal...'' the hall kept going on and as they spoke in shock. While Cassandra and the girls laughed

    '' she is a psychopath '' Martina said out loud. I swallowed all their words. Know it was very true, I am a shameless, broke, mother fucking psychopath and a piece of shit, a gold digger.... it goes on and on and on '' And I do not give a shit.

          I finish eating and rested for a few seconds, so my food would settle. It wasn't a bad experience, at the least, today I got to find out that adding a soft drink in rice makes it taste even better.

    ''How was it Maria '' Cassandra asked. I lift my head so I would get a better view of this bitch and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Logan. I had no idea he would be here, with his sister and the rest of the group. They all carried a smile except for Bianca, she seemed irritated. I guess she was irritated by my action

    '' It tasted wonderful actually '' I responded with a smile then stood up and took my tray which had little leftovers'' How about you join me next time.... the more the merrier '' Her smile instantly dropped. I was about to walk pass her when she caught my arm and pulled me back

    '' were the fuck do you think you are going '' she scold

    '' be careful... I stink '' I reminded while smiling

    '' do you think we are joking here '' Martina asked

    '' Look '' dropping the smile '' my time is up... I am done eating now I have to go. I got a lot on my plate" About to leave once again. The two behind me caught my shirt and pulled me back. There is seriously something wrong with these girls.
