Crestfallen novel Chapter 8

"What a prick!" I exclaimed angrily as Macy and I found a seat in the cafeteria. "He knows other people exist, right? He's not the only one here. Ugh, he's so aggravating! And I don't even talk to him very often!"

"Woah there, tiger." Macy laughed, "Retract the claws."

I glared over at Macy as we sat at an empty table near the corner of the cafeteria. "Macy, you have no idea how rude he is! If he wasn't so good looking, he's the scum of the-"

"I've never heard you so mad before." Liam snickered as he sat beside me. Chris took his seat on the other side, filling the four sides of the table.

"The first time you spoke to me was just the other day, of course you haven't." I snapped, taking an angry bite out of my Nutella sandwich. Liam life's his hands in mock surrender. "Sorry," I grumbled, food still in my mouth.

"It's all good, boo," Chris said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulling me to him. My eyebrows creased in confusion as I looked at Macy as if to say, excuse me? She just shrugged with a huge smile on her face. Chris' shaggy hair was all over me and I was getting uncomfortable.

"Okay, that's enough love," I announced, awkwardly shaking him off me. Liam looked over at Chris with a cocky smirk and I squinted with suspicion.

"So," Liam began, turning towards me, "What's got your panties all in a twist?"

"I'm pretty sure only Jeremy could get anyone this riled up." Chris laughed, hitting the table as he chuckled.

"I mean, you're not wrong." I sighed, eating more of my sandwich. The Nutella was already making me feel better and I was starting to get giddy again. "But hey, life is good because I've got-"

My eyes widened and my mouth moved, but no noise came out as Liam grabbed the sandwich out of my hand and stuffed it in his mouth with one bite.

"I-you-I-Nutella?" I stuttered out, flexing my fingers and holding the air as if it would reappear there. I looked over at Liam with the saddest eyes I could muster, pouting a little bit.

"Aw, you're so adorable," Chris said, smiling.

"Don't look at me like that, it's so sad." Liam frowned, wiping my Nutella from the corners of his mouth.

"You ate my Nutella!" I exclaimed somewhat angrily. "How will I live?"

Liam suddenly said, "I have an Idea!" And left, leaving Chris, Macy, and I at the table. "He ate my Nutella..."

Macy reached out and held my hand, while Chris just looked around awkwardly before leaving. "Stupid Nutella stealing turd looking piece of crap," I muttered dropping my head to the table.

The bell rang and I sighed, hungry and disappointed. Ew Math.

I grabbed my binders from my locker and headed to my AP math class. I took a seat roughly in the middle of class and waited for the teacher to arrive. Oddly enough, Jeremy came strolling into the class. I frowned and started to draw in my book.

"What the fuck is that? A dying goat?" Jeremy asked, taking a seat beside me. I glared over at him, okay so art isn't my forté.

"You're a dying goat." I retorted, erasing my drawing.

"Wow, good one Einstein." Jeremy chuckled, leaning back in his seat.

"Why are you in here?" I asked him, turning to face him.
