AT LUNCH…..

I walked into the school's cafeteria and looked for Lucas. We had the same lunch, right? I started walking around looking for him when I heard someone say my name. I turned around and saw, Maccon? I honestly wasn’t expecting her to have the same lunch as me, oh well. I walked over to her, still looking around for Lucas.

“I didn’t know we had the same lunch.” Maccon said.

“Same here, what a quadinkadink.” I replied, still looking around for Lucas. Where was he?

“Looking for someone? A friend?”

“You can tell?”

“Well, you keep looking around. Usually, that means your lost or looking for someone. And I don't think you're lost.”

“Yeah, I guess you're right.” I say as I nervously laugh.

“Wait, did you say, quadinkadink?”

“Yeah, what about it?” Oh right, she’s a new friend. Doesn't know my made up words yet…

“What does it mean?” She asks.

“Oh, it means the same thing as coincidence. I just have a hard time saying it, so I came up with quwadinkadink.”

“Oh, okay then.” Maccon stated as she started to talk to someone else, leaving me all alone…. again. Where is Lucas? He should be here by now.. I thought as I began to panic. I’m all alone in a new school, in a new town and I only know three people that go here. This is exactly what I wanted to happen.

“Boo.” Someone whispered in my ear from behind me.

“Eek!” I jumped and turned to see who it was.

“Sorry, I didn’t think I would actually scare you. Heh..” It was Lucas… It was Lucas!

“Lucas! Thank goodness you found me, I was worried that I would have to eat lunch all alone.” I said while letting out a sigh of relief.

“I wouldn’t just leave you alone, that would be rude.” He wrapped his arm around my shoulder in a protective manner and I felt a light blush creeping up my cheeks.

“So, this is the cafeteria then. I packed my own lunch, what about you Lucas?” I looked slightly up at him and then someone bumped into me causing me to bump into him. I almost fell down if it weren’t for Lucas catching me.

“Hey, watch where you’re going John.” Lucas yelled at the person who bumped into me, his name is John I guess. He was scrawny and wore a plain blue shirt and cargo shorts. He quickly picked up something he was caring and then stood up.

“S-sorry Lucas. It w-won’t happen again.” He stuttered and then ran off. Strange, but whatever.

“You okay Charlotte? You aren’t hurt or anything?” He grabbed my arms and looked at me with worried eyes.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Lets just go sit down somewhere.”

“Okay, you go find a place to sit and I’ll go buy my lunch real quick.
