A good twenty minutes in, Lukas leaned in slightly. "D'you know Damien?

With a frown Damien picked up the little ball and unfolded it. Wanna do something tonight? it read. He turned around to see a girl, Rose, staring at him with a half smile playing across her lips. He turned back to face the front, face flushed.

Jared blinked. "Huh? Oh, uhm…not really." He replied slowly.

Lukas pursed his lips. "Okay. You should eat with us today. Table right in the middle of the top row." Then he fell silent, diligently starting on his worksheet.

The rest of the hour passed excruciatingly slowly. Damien worked for about 5 minutes with the girl next to him, but she quickly got bored of him and started working alone and he had no choice but follow suit.

Jared frowned slightly. "Wait, why?" He asked, looking at Lukas for a moment before working on his worksheet. His hair fell into his face slightly.

Lukas shrugged. "I'm curious about what's up with Damien. I mean… you don't have to. I can always ask him directly. Whatever."
The bell rang. Lukas was up in a single second flat, out in the hallway. He spotted Damien a few steps ahead and ran to catch up.
"Christ, you scared me," Damien sighed. "Rose asked me out."
Lukas's eyes widened. "Seriously? Dude, that's so dope!"
Damien shrugged a shoulder, looking down at the ground. "Yeah, I guess it is. Should I say yes?"
"Of course you should!" Lukas said, elbowing. "You'd be legend."

Jared watched him go, frowning slightly. He's got to be pulling my leg. No way would that invitation be serious, no matter what his friend has been acting like…

Laughing, Damien, Lukas and a few other boys sauntered into the cafeteria, walking no over to the counters in a herd. There usual table was littered with other kids who all shuffled themselves to the end of it at the sight of the group of boys entering the room. Lukas let his gaze flit over the faces of those kids, looking for Jared.

Jared was sitting at the end of the table, a bloody napkin pressed to his nose and a book laying on the table. His shoulders were a little hunched and tense.

(Sorry!! Whirling for me right now I'm still trying to get my schedule back to normal)
Lukas spotted him far away, blowing his nose and sitting alone reading. That's a shame. With a shrug he turned away, back to Damien, already forgetting about Jared.

(it's fine!)

Jared pulled the napkin away, and threw it away with a sigh. His bloody nose was over. For now. Looking around, his eyed landed on Lukas and Damien. Oh. Right. Lukas wanted me to…sit with them? He thought, not sure what he should do.

Lukas, Damien and a small group of students walked away from the counters as one, grouping at a table. Damien was engrossed in a conversation about a movie with the girl who’d sat next to him, so he payed no attention to the fact Lukas was sat in front and not next to him.

Jared hesitated, then put his book away, and put on his backpack. He had a packed lunch. He didn't like standing in line, so he packed himself a lunch. He hesitated again, then tapped on Lukas's shoulder, looking severely uncomfortable.

Lukas jumped and turned around. "Hey, Jacob! Glad you could come!" He nodded to the seat next to Damien.

"Uhm… it's Jared." Jared replied slowly. "Not Jacob." He hunched his shoulders slightly, clearly uncomfortable, but sat down slowly, setting his backpack down beside him.

Damien stiffened, and pointedly turned his head to talk to the girl on his other side. Lukas watched carefully, and his eyes widened when Jared spoke. "Oh shoot, I'm so sorry! Names, you know, they fly right over my head. Sorry Jared. How were your classes?"

Jared shrugged. "It's fine." He replied. "They were okay, I guess?" He sort of just wanted to read his book agaun. He had no idea what he was doing here.

« Cool… » Lukas fell silent, turning to the side again to talk to someone else. Just as Lukas turned away Damien’s conversation died down. He looked ahead, slightly stiff in his seat.

Jared sighed softly. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing here…but I may as well eat, I won't get another chance. He bent, pulling his lunch bag out of his backpack.

« So… » Damien breathed. « Jared, right? » he asked tightly.

Jared looked up, and nodded, setting his lunch bag on the table. "Yeah. You're Damien?" He asked, glancing up at the other male for a moment, then back at his lunch.

(Sorry for the absence!)
Damien nodded slowly. “Yeah, that’s me. How do you know Lukas?” he asked. Did he sound on edge, or mean? He couldn’t quite tell. His mind was filled with a rushing thrill that he couldn’t quite name.

(it's fine)

Jared shrugged. "He's in one of my classes." He replied. He wasn't quite sure why Damien seemed so on edge, but wasn't about to question it. He pulled his sandwich out of the bag, setting it down.

Damien frowned. “Yeah, so are about 200 of these kids. You don’t really know him, so why are you here?”
Shit. That was really rude.
Damien pinched his lips, looking back down at the table. “Sorry,” he muttered. “Not thinking straight.”

Jared narrowed his eyes. "Because he invited me, because of you." He jabbed a finger at Damien, then turned back to his food, shoulders slightly tensed.

Damien wrinkled his nose and shook out his hair, a few strands of golden brown falling in front of his face. "Wait, you lost me. Because of me?" He peeked over at Jared from behind his curtain of curls, blushing with guilt.

"Yeah, I guess you're acting weird or some shit like that, and for whatever reason he thinks I can help. But if you don't want me here, say so, and I'll leave." Jared replied, not looking at him.
