Overlooked Fate ~ Sequel

Chapter 4 ~ Taken

Sophie's P.O.V
(This takes place a little before the lockdown was called.)

Sophie finished the last of her sandwich and zipped up her lunch bag. She got up to throw out her trash and looked at the doors.

Biana and Tam still weren't back.

Sophie made her way back to her lunch table and said, "I wonder when Biana and Tam are coming back."

Marella shrugged. "Who knows?" Marella said, but she seemed a bit distracted. She was looking towards Dex's direction where him and Linda were chatting.

"Do you think something happened to them?" Linh asked, her face showing worry.

"Well, the only thing I'm worried about is facing the wrath of Tam if he catches Biana and figures out it was my idea," Marella said.

Sophie smirked knowing how Tam could be.

The bell then rang, signaling the end of lunch. "Well, we should probably head to class now. We'll probably find Biana and Tam later," Linh suggested, running off.

Sophie nodded and got up. She turned and waited for Marella to get up too.

"Marella, c'mon," Sophie called, tapping her.

"Oh— sorry," Marella apologized, getting up. Sophie realized that Marella was still watching Dex and Linda.

Oh...

"Um, Dex, lunch ended," Sophie said, trying to get Dex's attention.

"Oh right!" Dex said, slowly getting up. He had to be careful with that prosthetic leg.

"Oh Dex! We have Calculus class together next!" Linda exclaimed, giving Dex a hand to get up.

"Oh yeah," Dex mumbled.

"Oh, you guys also have Calculus together?" Marella asked.

"Yes! C'mon Dex! We have to go!" Linda exclaimed.

"Alright, alright! Catch ya guys later," Dex said, waving, starting to walk away.

"Yes, it was nice meeting you two!" Linda exclaimed to Sophie and Marella.

"Um yes, nice meeting you too," Sophie replied.

Linda then grinned. "Well, hopefully I'll see you guys again!"

"Boop!" Linda exclaimed, booping Marella on the nose. Linda then quickly stalked away with Dex.

Sophie turned to see Marella with her jaw dropped. "Did...did that Linda girl just...BOOP ME?!" Marella shrieked.

Sophie nodded. "I think so."

Marella seemed speechless. "Well, Linda seems...fun," Sophie added.

Marella scoffed in response. "Did you know Linda before today?" She asked.

Sophie shook her head. "Nope."

Marella shook her head and her face showed irritation. "Look, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about," Sophie assured.

"Yeah, maybe I'm just...overthinking it," Marella mumbled.

The second bell then rang. "Okay, we really have to go," Sophie said, running towards the exit of the cafeteria.

"Yeah, see ya later," Marella said.

Sophie nodded and went down to her familiar route to the bathroom. Every day, she always took a quick bathroom break before her next class after lunch.
