•  Kylie's POV 
I held my tray walking towards to where Elle was but stopped when Anna held my hand asking where am I going.
“ Where are you going ? ”
“ I'm going to sit there.” I said pointing towards where Elle was sitting down, she was sitting alone.
“ Huh ? Why ? What of the boys ? Are we not sitting there ? Are you fighting with one of them ? ”
“ No, I don't just feel like sitting there. I want to sit with her.”
“ You want to sit with...” She turned to where I pointed and saw Elle sitting there.
“ No, no, no.” She said chanting the no as she shook her head. “ I am not sitting with her.”
“ Why ? She does not bite.”
“ Well she do, I think those drugs she is taking is affecting her. ”
“ She is not taking drugs, she only smokes.”
“ There is no difference between that, I'm not sitting with her. ”
“ Well I am.”
“ Them good luck with that.” She said about to turn back, I held her bag strap dragging her gently, so that my food will not fall and hers. 
“ I'm not going, you don't even know her.”
“ I know her, she is my friend and that means she is also your friend.” 
“ Things I do for you.” I heard her say, I smile.
I left her bag strap since we have gotten to where Elle is sitting.
I smiled gently at her and waved then sit down placing my food on the table.
“ But I don't...” She turned to face me only to see that she is already there.
 ... Hey. ” Anna said smiling then say down with her tray placed in the table.
“ Kylie told me a lot about you.” Anna told her, trying to make a conversation with Elle, Elle just stared at her eating her steak.
“ Really ? I did ? ” I said in a surprise.
“ Yes you did Kylie, we were just talking about her before coming her.” She said giving me a faux smile.
“ We were ? ” I said still feeling surprised I talked about Elle to Anna.
“ God...” She groaned and face palmed herself. 
...Can't you just say yes, we did. I am trying to make a conservation with her and you are spoiling it.”
“ Sorry.” I pouted.
Elle laughed.
“ Hope it was good thing no she said about me .” Elle said.
“ She said a lot of good things about you.” Anna said smiling, this time it was a genuine one.
“ Did I ? I can never say any good things, so it is definitely bad things I said.” I said, scooping casserole in my mouth.
“ Kylie !!!” 
“ I'm sorry.” I said with a chuckle.
Elle chortled while Anna rolled her eyes at me.
I was still laughing until I felt a presence beside me. So I stopped and turned.
It was Ashton, he smiled at me then sat beside me.
The others were here except Eric.
“ Why are you guys here ? ” Anna asked them.
“ Well we saw you two sitting here, so we came here.” Ray said with a smile.
“ Hey Elle.” Dexton greeted her.
She ignored him.
“ Still as cold as ever.” Ray muttering under his breath playing with his soup.
She glared at him.
He gave her an innocent look and smile then sip his soup making a loud noise while sipping it.
Elle used her spoon to hit the table and stood up.
“ I will leave the table for you all.” She said picking her tray and went to another sit.
I stood up carrying my tray and went to meet her.
“ Why did you leave ? ” I asked her as I sat down, sitting in front of her.
“  I like being alone, I don't like companies.”
“ But I like your company.” I said pouting.
“ And I also like yours.” Anna smiled and sat near me.
“ We also like yours.” Both Ray and Dexton said sitting beside Elle.
Ashton sat down. “ I'm just here because I don't want to sit alone.”
Typical Ashton. I actually thought he is going to say something sweet but him and sweet does not get along.
“ Well I don't like any of you companies.” She said and stood up going to another seat.
Why can't she just sit down and ignore them then eat.
I went meet her, they also followed to sit there.
“ Why are you guys here again ?”
I can sense she is frustrated already.
“ The chair could not contain all of us, so we came here.” I said with an innocent smile plastered on my face.
“ Really ? ”
“ Yeah.” I nod my head.
“ But when I was there, it contained all of us.”
“ Wow, is that true ? ” I said placing my hand on my chin.
“ Yes, that is true. So how can it not contain all of you ? ” She shouted feeling frustrated.
I laughed. 
“ Why are you asking me ? Ask the chair.”
“ Oh God, you are unbelievable.” She said and stood up and went to another sit.
We followed her.
“ Oh God.” She face palmed herself.
“ Why can't you just sit on another chair ? ”
“ That is what we are doing, sitting on another chair.”
I chuckled when Ray said that.
“ Well I mean another chair where I'm not there.”
“ Another chair were you are not there, what's does that mean ? Please explain.” Dexton said, placing his hands on his cheek staring at her.
“ Oh my God, you guys are .... frustrating .” 
“ Thanks for the compliment, ma'am.” Ashton said.
I try stifling my laugh but it came out.
If we are in the cartoon, smoke will be puffing out of her ears.
“ Elle just sit down or are you not tired of carrying your tray up and down.”
“ I don't want to sit with them.” She said eyeing them disdainfully .
“ Well you have to because you are our friend and we must sit together.”
“ They are not my friend.”
“ Well you are my friend so that makes you their friend, just sit down Elle. Lunch break is almost over.”
She sigh then sat down.
When I have succeed convincing her to stay that is when that idiot knows he want to come.
“ Hey, why are you guys not sitting at our usual spot ? ” He said and sat down.
Elle rose her head up. “ I have lost my appetite.” She said push the tray slightly and stood up then left.
“ I am not following her again, I don't even understand why I was following all of you like jobless children.” Ashton grumbled.
“ Are you not a child ? ” I tugged his cheeks playfully.
He slap my hands away and roll his eyes. “ I am not.”
“  Well to me, you are.... Please excuse me.” I said and stood up then went the same way Elle passed.
****
I saw her sitting on the stairs. She was crying.
“ Hey.” I said with a gloomy face.
She rose her head up.
“ What ? ”
“ I'm sorry, I didn't know he will come.” 
What am I saying, it is not like as if he is not sitting with us.
“ How will you not know ? Is he not their friend ? ”
“ He is.” I said rubbing my neck.
“ So he is meant to sit with them.”
“ I'm sorry.” I apologized.
“ Just leave me alone.”
“ I can't , you are my friend.” I said sitting beside her.
“ You are also his friend.”
“ So...”
“ I can't be your friend.”
“ Are you trying to say I should choose between you and him ?”
“ Well it seems you are smart.”
“ I can't , I want to be friends with both of you. I know you Eric has hurt you a lot and I feel bad about it but I can't just stop being friends with him all the sudden.”
“ Well if that is so, I will help you choose. I can't be friends with you if you are friends with him.” She said and walk away.
“ Elle...”
I never knew this will be harder. Why must someone choose ? Can't you have the both ?
****
Someone held my hand and dragged me in a dark room.
Acting out of instincts, I use my leg to kicked the air.
I'm sure it touched him because I heard him groan.
“ Oh God, that hurts.” 
Then I knew it was Eric.
“ Please switch on the light, Eric.”
Then the light came up, we were in the janitor's closet.
“ What are we doing here ? and why did you drag me in here ? ”
“ I want to talk with you.”
“ Then talk.”
