After getting my pizza I went to sit at my usual table, with Maddie. We were just the only two there and I guess Stella calls this table the 'loser table'.
"So, did you talk to him?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah. Apparently, I forgot my earphones and my phone so he kept it for me," I replied.
Maddie grins, "He likes you."
"What? No!" I shook my head. It was impossible.
I was just finishing my last bit of pizza when Oliver walked over to my table with his friends. I guess he made a lot of new friends and I realized that half of them were the jocks. They don't mix together. If you're a jock, you stay with the jocks. If you're a nerd, you stay with the nerds. But this... What?
"Hey, Sophia. Do you mind if we sit here?" Oliver asked.
Out of my peripheral vision, I saw Stella, sitting next to Bella, who was too busy eating her food, making a shocked and confused face.
"Uh..."
"What Sophia meant was, sure! But unless you don't wanna sit at the 'loser table', that's what Stella calls it by the way, then we're fine with it!"
"Cool. I'm Tyler, by the way." A boy, wearing a letterman jacket smiled. And I think I saw Maddie blushed a little.
"I'm Sophia. And this is Maddison." I finally found my voice.
It ended up being the best school lunch I've ever had.
The tension that used to hang around now seemed to dissolve. We could chat together like normal friends would do.
Suddenly, Oliver asked the most unexpected question, "So, what do you think of Stella?"
"Uh... you mean... my stepsister?" I asked.
"No need to lie, Sophia. Just say it; she's a complete bi-"
"Maddie!"
"Right, sorry. You don't swear."
"Really? What's wrong with saying the word fuc-"Oliver started to swear.
"Aaah!" I started to scream but then I looked around myself, "Am I over reacting?"
And Oliver just chuckled along with Maddie.
