The food court was packed and I looked at my watch, “Ugh, it’s the lunch rush.” I sighed and Jade slapped me on the back.
“You just have to be aggressive and you’ll get what you need. What do you want?” she asked, setting her bag down on a table.
“Um, I don’t really care. Maybe just a small, plain burger?” I asked, sitting down at the two-person table and wiping off some of the crumbs with my sleeve.
“Lomein sound good?”
“What, that doesn’t actually-Jade!” But she was gone into the crowd of people and I leaned back in my chair, shaking my head. I reached into my pocket and noticed a few missed calls from Archer.
I held the phone up to my ear and listened to his voicemails, “Onyx? Are you okay? I had this vision that you were in danger. Call me back immediately.” “Onyx, I need you to answer, are you okay?” As I was listening to the third voicemail, a tall, fair skinned man approached the table. He was dressed in tight fitting jeans and a nice button-up shirt, with sleeked back hair with a little beanie on top. I looked up at him and he smiled, showing off his unnaturally white teeth and chiseled complexion.
“Mind if I join you?” he asked, motioning towards the chair in front of me.
I looked past him towards Jade, who was no where to be seen, and I managed a little nod and gesture towards the chair. He took his seat and offered a hand,
“Neil.”
HIs hand was cold, almost unalive. “Onyx..” I replied and he leaned back in his chair, crossing a leg over the other.
“What’s up, Onyx? Love that name by the way, but I couldn’t help but noticed your friend went and left you in the middle of the lunch rush.” He nodded towards the bag, with the bikini half sprawled along the table.
Embarrassed, I shoved the bikini back into its bag and moved it to the floor, clearing off the table. “Ah, no, I think she went scavenging for food or something.” I looked down at the table and played with the bottom of my shirt.
Neil leaned against the table and smiled, “You seem so unique, you have that aura.”
A soft blush covered my cheeks and I looked up at him, “What? What makes you say that?”
He shrugged and leaned a little closer, motioning for me to come closer as well. I leaned forward a little bit and Neil grabbed my chin and planted his lips on mine. His grip tightened on my chin as I struggled and suddenly Jade slammed a tray of food onto the table, “Well, I hate to break up young love but.”
Neil leaned back and winked at me, before standing up. “Oh, Jade, I didn’t recognize you from afar.” He fist-bumped a slightly annoyed Jade before turning back to me, “I hope to see you around, you had a very sweet taste.”
I looked away, covering my blushing face with my hands. Jade sat down in his place and started distributing food which consisted of: Two smoothies, a burger and fries, a Panda Express box with fortune cookies, and little Blizzards from Dairy Queen. “Neil is in a few of my classes.” she muttered, “He’s a lady-killer, don’t let him get to you.”
“He... Kissed me, Jade.” I touched my lips with my fingertips before unwrapping my burger.
“I saw that.” Jade sighed, lomein noodles hanging out from her mouth as she tried to fit it all into her mouth.
After a few bites of my burger, I had to put it away. It was delicious, but my stomach felt like it was going to force it back up. I leaned back and sipped on my smoothie, sighing a little bit as I stared at Jade, who was glaring at me for not eating. She was already more than halfway done with her noodles and was fitting french fries into her mouth between bites. I shivered and turned to the side, looking at all the people occupying every table. It was loud and annoying, but yet, somehow it was kind of reassuring. If that scary clerk monster happened to show up again, there would be people around to see it this time.
“Are you not going to eat it?” Jade asked, not even waiting for answer as she picked up my burger and started munching on it. “I know I can’t make you eat, but at least finish off the fries.” she pleaded, shoving the container in my direction.
I sighed a bit and picked up a fry and started munching on it, one after the other. “So Neil goes to our school?”
“Hell yeah, I’m surprised you’ve never seen him around before. He’s everywhere, but you need to be careful.” Jade pointed a finger at me, “You’re super dense, and that’s how he gets girls. He’s been known to actually sexual harass girls, sometimes even rape them.”
“Oh, wow...” I noticed him along the far away, standing alone as he drowned a soda and tossed it aside, just barely missing the trash can. He caught my eyes and grinned, but I quickly looked away and sucked on my smoothie. “Why did he come to me, then...?”
Jade shrugged, “Not that you aren’t pretty, I’m sure that was his sole reason, but he normally goes for outgoing girls like cheerleaders or something.” She crumbled up the wrapper my burger was in and placed it on the tray, “I heard him say something about you tasting good, which I have never heard anyone say to anyone ever honestly. Do you have lip gloss on?”
“No, I don’t really wear lip gloss, just normal chapstick.” I touched my lips again and rubbed them.
“Then maybe he’s just looking for a new toy. Don’t let him mess with you, be on guard.” Jade lifted the tray and handed me the fries, then moving to throw it away at a nearby trashcan. She leaned against the table and watched me, “Where do you want to go next?”
“Well I would like to stop by Hot Topic... They have some cool stuff up for the season.” I handed her the nearly gone french fries and finished off my smoothie, tossing it into the trash. “I won’t be long, I promise. I know you don’t like such stores.”
Yay!!!!!!!!!!
Next chapter done, lets do this thing. Only at like 5k words, my goal (since this is just a short story) is 20k by the end of the month, which I may or may not get to do? Idk, but this is fun.
