Maybrook Prep

Derek: I rolled my eyes, but too quickly for Nasim to catch, hopefully.

Iliana: I watched Derek, and gave Jude a look that said 'see?!'

Jude: I smirked, seeeing what Iliana was seeing. I decided to torture him. "What're you rolling your eyes at, Derek?"

Nasim: I looked at Derek, already guessing what.

Derek: "Michael is completely whipped, that's all." I smirked.

Nasim: "Whipped? And why do you say that?" Whatever it meant.

Derek: "Because he's following you around like a sick puppy. He walked you over to the lunch table, for Pete's sake!" I rolled my eyes.

Nasim: "And I specifically told him I could walk myself to a table," I said coldly, not wanting to seem like a hypocrite. To be honest, Michael walked me everywhere, like I needed help. "Besides. We like each other." I paused. "A lot."

Jude: I wondered if that would get to him, but then I wondered if Josh would say something that ruined the mood.

Derek: "I like Chloe. A lot. But I don't have to walk her around like that, as if she'd get in danger if I let her out of sight for even five minutes!"

Josh: "What's whipped?"

Jude: Right on cue. I laughed.

Nasim: I looked at Josh for a second before turning back to Derek. "YOU are in danger if you let her out of her sight, Derek. You're in danger of her finding some other boy to date and before you know it you'll be dumped and alone because you REALLY liked a girl who only likes a certain boy for a week, so...." I shrugged and sat down.

Jude: Wow.

Derek: "No, I really liked a girl, but she went out with some other guy. I'm not sure why, I thought she liked me, too. But I guess that other guy was better then me. So I rebounded. I admitted it, happy now?" I got up and left the cafeteria angrily.

Nasim: Shoot. "I'm an idiot," I said quietly. "Right?"

Jude: Awkward... I took a bite of my burger and looked down. Honestly, I had no idea.

Iliana: "Why do you think you're an idiot?" I wasn't going to confirm it unless I knew exactly what she was thinking. There were, not to be mean, a few ways she could be an idiot in this situation.

Nasim: "A lot of reasons. One for going out with Michael after knowing him a couple days, another maybe for being a bit rude to Derek...." I also thought of becoming a cheerleader, but I didn't see how that would be idiotic. Not with my intention, anyway. (to cheer)

Iliana: "I don't blame you for being rude to Derek, though you did hurt his ego, which is hard to do," I smirked. "And I guess if you liked Michael after a few days it's not a big deal to go out with him..." Yes it was. Who went out with someone after knowing them hardly over a week?

Nasim: "Yeah but it really contradicts what I've been saying, and now I just feel like a dirty hypocrite.." I vented, wondering if she even cared at all.

Iliana: "Yeah, you do, no offense. Why don't you just changes things, so you aren't a hypocrite?"

Nasim: I bit my lip. "I don't know how to do that without hurting any feelings." And it's not like I can break up with Michael without a care. That's like, the definition of slut...

Iliana: I shrugged. "You can't. You have to pick: be a hypocrite or hurt a few feelings. Your choice," the bell rang and I left.

Jude: "IT's true, Nasim. Not everyone can be happy in certain situations," i said with a shrug.

Nasim: *frustrated sigh!* But they were both right. ANd I honestly cared more about them than one boy... Maybe Chloe could help. Gah, am I crazy? Yes. Of course I am.

Chloe: I spotted Nasim at her table and decided to say hi. "Hey Nasim," I said cheerily.

Nasim: "Chloe!" i said, slightly relieved. "I need your help!" I still sounded too happy for the situation, so I droppped the smile

Chloe: "Okay...?" People didn't usually need my help. I sat down in the empty chair ((the one Iliana was sitting in)) next to Nasim "What's up?"

Jude: Seeing that I was no longer needed I wheeled away with a goodbye to both of them.

Nasim: "Tell me. How is it so easy for you to break up with a guy?"

Chloe: Was that an insult? I'd brush it off..."Well, honestly, if I don't like them much then it's easy. And I don't always like them very much."

Nasim: Grr. "You've never met a guy you liked a lot?"

Chloe: I thought for a moment, then shook my head. "Not really."
