After getting a ten-minute dressing down from my English Lit teacher about how passing notes isn’t what is expected of Rosewood High students, I’m late for my biology class. She doesn’t seem to care that I clearly wasn’t the one to write it. I mean, I’m hardly going to warn myself of what’s coming to me. But then again, I guess no one ever pulls up the legends that are the football team for their appalling behavior. At least I can blame the fact that I’m new and lost for my tardiness. Could this day get any fucking worse?

Finding the cafeteria at lunch is much easier than any of my morning classes, seeing as almost every student in the school moves in that direction.

With a tray full of questionable looking food, I glance around for a table. Every one is taken, so I head to a half full one with two people sitting at it, purposefully ignoring the one full of football players and cheerleaders. Thankfully Ethan’s attention is on the same girl who was forced on me earlier so he doesn’t notice my arrival.

“I’m sorry, do you mind?” I point to the empty seats.

The guy nods. “Sure, go for it.”

Dropping my tray to the table, I feel their attention on me, but I don’t look up. I’m really not in the mood for people after my shitty morning.

“Hey, you’re Raelynn, right? Ethan’s…” The female voice trails off.

“I’m not Ethan’s anything,” I snap.

Glancing over out of the corner of my eye, I vaguely recognize the girl from Saturday night, but I’ve no clue who she is. The guy isn’t familiar at all.

“Oh sorry. Yeah. So how are you finding your first day?” When I just stare at her without offering an answer, she opens her mouth once again. “I’m Camila, by the way. This is Shane.”

“Great.” I give her a very quick and equally fake smile before looking down to my plate.

An awkward silence settles around us before we’re joined by another guy.

“Hey, baby. Having a good day?” I glance up to see the blonde guy from the couch on Saturday night very slowly and carefully lower himself down beside Camila.

“Are you sure you should be here? The doctor said—”

“Screw the doctor. I’m not sitting at home anymore.”

“Fine. But if you do more damage, you know Coach won’t let you play in the final.”

“We’ve gotta make it there first. Don’t you think you’re being a little presumptuous, Cam?” the other guy says.

“Glad to know you’re feeling positive about it.”

“We’re not the same team without you, man.”

I roll my eyes, realizing that the other guy is also on the team. I look over to where the rest of the team and cheer squad are huddled around a few joined up tables, and I wonder why these two aren’t over with them.

I know the second their eyes turn to me. “Mase, you remember Raelynn from Saturday night?” Camila asks, clearly pointing me out.

“Hmmm, yeah. That was quite an introduction.”

“Thanks,” I mutter, still refusing to look their way.
