Other than a few more idiots calling me names, the day progressed pretty normally. Until I got to lunch.
I anxiously waited in line in the packed cafeteria. Something about the way Eddie and his friends stared at me had me on edge. They sat at their table, facing the lunch line, their gazes so intense I wasn’t even sure they blinked.
Jeff rushed through the doors and joined me in line.
“You okay?” he asked, eyebrow raised. “I heard about first period. Why didn’t you tell me?”
I shrugged, still staring at Eddie and his friends. “It was Eddie, and as you can see, he’s still being a douche.”
Jeff frowned. “Assholes.” He looked pissed.
I nudged him with my elbow. “Don’t let it get to you.”
He sighed. “Why are people so f*****g stupid?”
“I wish I knew. Anyone giving you a hard time?”
