After a trip to our lockers, Amber and I going one way, Sam and Nicole going another, we gathered at "The Box."2
The Box is where we go to sit and talk for the second half of the period before we have to separate ways and continue our days out as drones.3
"I'm glad your back, Sarah." Nicole said, taking her seat to the left of me. I'd been out of school for a few days due to a slight head cold. That and I just didn't want to be there. "Did you know that when you were gone we weren't allowed to sit on The Box in your memory?"4
"No," Amber replied, "I just didn't want to look up."5
I just laugh and turn to Nicole. "I believe her more."6
Once we all got settled down, Nicole and Sam got into some little conversation between themselves, as did Amber and I. Occasionally I would hear my name and turn to them to see whats up, and normally I'd just agree and return to conversing with Amber. Not that she'd notice I'd turned away for those few seconds, seeing as she normally talks about Alex and when she does that she goes into her own little dream world.7
Suddenly there's a soft "plop" as Jen sits down between Sam and Amber.8
"Hey, Short Shit," I greet her, and I'm returned with a little wave.9
"You know," Amber begins, "I think if anyone else would call her that she'd kill them."10
She would, too. She might be tiny, seeing as she's only 5' 2", if that, but she can still beat my ass. She's like unnaturally strong. And she's in the Army, so no way am I going there.11
She stays and talks to Amber for a while, telling her tales of drill where she terrorized the dentist for mocking her height, and then she went onto her next hour class.12
Not long after she left, Creepy Stalker Kid comes strolling by.13
I saw him coming up the stairs and made my mind up that one of us should make some form of contact with him, and seeing as how I was, obviously, the only one that saw him coming that it would have to be me.14
"Hey, Creepy Stalker Kid!" I exclaimed waving frantically.15
He just kinda looked at me as he walked by.16
"You're not going to leave him alone, are you?"17
"Nope." I said, a look of determination settling on my face.18
"Gee," Amber continued, "Go figure."19
"Is he going to be number four?" Nicole asks. She has this odd fascination with how many guys I can keep up with. Every time I meet a new one she's always like, "Another one?!?"20
"No, no. Nothing like that," I reply with a look that, to them, only means trouble, and to anyone in my line of vision only means staring, "No, I'm just cerious now."21
"Curiose killed the cat." Sam chimed in. Like a parrot, that one is.22
I just redirected my gaze to her. "Who said I was a cat?"23
They just laughed as the bell rang and we went our separate ways again, only this time I went with Sam, and Nicole with Amber.24
They all know enough about me not to put anything past me, so there was no shadow of a doubt in they're minds that I would find a way to talk to him.25
So, who are you really, Creepy Stalker Kid?26
