So it turns out that Angela's back and she's in my algebra class. She's still not my favorite person, because of the lie she told about Alex, and I just find her really annoying and perky. Sometimes, she just needs to take a chill pill and relax.

But it was lunch time now, the worst time of the day. It was a good thing all Freshmen have the same lunch today, because starting tomorrow, we'll be mixed in with upperclassmen. It seems scary. I'm terrified.

When I walked into the cafeteria, I immediately saw a table with all of my friends. I walked over, hugged them all, then sat down at the open seat next to Tara.

When our table was called to go buy lunch, the majority of our table rose to their feet and went to the line. It was a pretty long line, but I wasn't complaining. I had Courtney and Emma to talk to while we waited.

Today's lunch was cheeseburgers and fries, but I'm a vegetarian, so I just got cheese pizza. It looked way better than middle school food.

I was the last one back to the table. My seat was taken by Felicia, a girl whom almost all of my friends kiss-up to. They do everything to try to impress her. I hate Felicia, and Felicia hates me. I guess today my friends decided that letting her take my seat was the right thing to do. I know they like her better than me, even though I'm always there for them and I don't talk behind their backs like Felicia does.

I looked at her, then I looked at Courtney, who probably was the one who let her sit there.

"Um, I was sitting there," I said politely.

Courtney looked at me and said, "Oh, we thought you were going to sit with Abby and Kayla." everyone laughed, accept for me. Abby and Kayla were the two weirdest girls in school! Sitting with them on my first day of high school might ruin my reputation forever. And I won't take that chance!

Courtney knows that I would never sit with them. She always acts different when Felicia's around. I hate it.

I took my lunch and threw it away. I was not going to stay in that cafeteria. I bolted out the door and headed straight for the bathroom.

I walked into the girls room, and it was completely empty. It kind of makes sense, because these are the seniors' bathrooms. But I didn't care. I went into a stall and locked the door.

I waited there until I heard the Freshmen walking by, back to class. I walked out to join them, and there was Courtney, Emma, but no Felicia.

"Hey, where'd you go?" asked Courtney.

"Away from there." I said firmly.

"Hey, we were just kidding around!"

"Yeah, real funny." and I walked away. They know I can't really take jokes that well. They know everything about me.

I guess we were supposed to go back to our homerooms for some reason.

I was kind of getting sick of all these butterflies I felt in my stomach whenever I saw Alex. And going back to homeroom where he was, didn't help a bit.

When we got back to homeroom, I realized we only had an hour left of school. Wow, I thought, time flies.
