Spec
I wasn't even ten steps from Whitney's table before my escape plan was thwarted. Blocking the exit, stood a hulking (at least to my five foot four perspective)
man. Okay; I actually thought I heard he was only a freshman--he might have even shared a class or two with me. Still, either he had failed a few grades or he had one weird superpower.
"Hey, kid," the dude began, probably getting ready to give me a wedgie that would take until the next school year to undo. I cringed, the fate of my pants in his hands (Still talking about wedgies here!), when he said...
"Do you happen to know where everyone has gone?" My "bully" genuinely asked, a reply that was as non-wedgie related as you can get.
Before I could think of a response, the room descended into a deafening silence. After staring at the guy for a moment, I caught on and carefully turned around to meet the most eye-catching, beautiful pair--I mean
girl my eyes had ever laid upon. I think everyone everyone else in the cafeteria--even the lunch lady with the mustache--shared my very thoughts, for not even a single essence of sound, except for the clack of this woman's heels, was emitted until after she had been absent from the room for several minutes.
All at once, noise erupted into an excited clash of chatter. I shook my head in confusion, trying to recollect my evaporated thoughts.
((The power of puberty!! XD ))
((Oxygen Magnesium! I haven't posted for Lyric since
January!!!! 
The horror!))
Lyric
After slowly sifting through the mound of homework my evil teachers assigned me, I decided to call it quits for the night and head on over to the cafeteria. I had slaved through so much homework that I had difficulty opening my dorm room door; my hand was officially dead and my eyes bloodshot. "One more more Latin translation and I
swear..." I growled, envisioning Mrs. Spaldrick meeting my tiger-self.
I entered the cafeteria, which was as blather abundant as any cafeteria in the country, perhaps even more so. I arrived at Amira and her friends' table, only to find it...without Amira and her friends.
Where could they be!? I thought frantically, glancing all around as if they were spies now, waiting for the unsuspecting me from the ceiling.
Finally settling with the idea that I would just wait for them here, I sat down at the deserted table, whipped out a manga, and began to immerse myself in the story and art. It was about (in case you were wondering) four traveling kids with special animal powers. The story follows them as they form friendships and try to survive in a world in which they are outcasted from society.
This sounds a little like real life, I thought as my eyes drooped. As absorbed as I was in their adventures, there was no getting around the fact that I was existing solely on one hour of sleep.
Tucking my beloved manga into my purse, I laid my arms on the table and cushioned my head for just a
little shuteye...
"Oh, hey, Lyric."
I bolted upright, promptly sending my purse sky high and spilling its contents everywhere. Soon, it was raining money, hand sanitizer, and a variety of "lady necessities" that I really,
really preferred to stay in my purse and
not all over the cafeteria!
I peered up from the chaos to find the owner of the disastrous "alarm clock" voice. A boy--and a very handsome one at that--returned my stare with his golden gaze. I immediately recognized him as Amira's cousin Troy, who had sat with us at this very table for breakfast.
"What have you been up to today?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing much," I replied scanning the surrounding area as if it was a horror scene, which it basically was. And that was before I had realized one of those "lady necessities"...landed in his food!
((Gross, Lyric!
....I'm tired too -o-zZZ
Anyways, don't worry; Lyric doesn't have a crush on Troy, Bubbline.
Free pet to anyone who can give the correct title of the manga Lyric was reading!))
