Getting Played

It's been two weeks since Nathan and I's encounter in my room. He hasn't said one word to me, not one.

He's also been even more of a jerk to everyone lately. Half the time he doesn't even come to school.

He and Isaac even got into a fight. As in a fist fight. No one knows why they fought though.

Speaking of Isaac, he asked me to go to the mall after school today and go to dinner after.

Isaac sits with Lauren, Reagan and I every day at lunch and to be honest, it's comforting. Carson- Lauren's new boyfriend also known as the previous player sits with us as well.

"Kali?"

"Kali?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and saw Isaac, Reagan, Lauren and Carson looking at me.

"What?" I asked. They all laughed. "Are you gonna eat your food or just starve yourself?" Lauren laughed.

I didn't find it funny though. I piled up a bunch of mashed potatoes on my spoon and fling it towards her. Sadly I missed, and ended up hitting someone I would never want to hit.

Nathan.

He looked up from his tray and glared at me. He wiped the mashed potatoes off his face and stormed out of the lunch room.

Whoops.

We all started laughing. Especially Isaac. "Hey, I got a question for you." I said looking at him. "Yeah?" He asked.

"How come you and Nathan got into a fight?" I asked. He tensed up a little bit. "Uh, just something stupid." He said uneasily.

I nodded and continued to eat my lunch. The bell rung signaling is it was time for 5th period. Isaac dumped our trays and walked with me to my locker.

We both had Biology together so he walked with me there too. He took ahold of my hand and lead me to the classroom. Once we walked in I saw Nathan in his regular spot. He looked over at us and his eyes dropped down to Isaac and I's hands.

Nathan closed his notebook and stormed out of the room. "What was that all about?" I asked Isaac. He just shrugged. He let go of our hands and walked to his spot. As I did the same.

The hour went by slow and painful. All we did was go over our notes for the upcoming test.

I was very relieved once the bell rang. I made my way over to English and walked through the door.

I saw Lauren was sitting next to Carson and being all lovey-dovey. Reagan saw me walk in and signaled me to come sit by her.

"Hey Reagan." I smiled. "Hi." She smiled back. "I guess Lauren and Carson are getting..closer." I laughed. "Yeah, and it's disgusting." Reagan cringes.

Our teacher gives us our packets for our class project and everyone gets to work.

The rest of the day flew by amazingly quickly. I grabbed my stuff from my locker and started walking towards Isaac's car.

He brought me to school today and we were now gonna go to the mall and after that go out to eat.

"You ready?" Isaac asked me once we were both in got into his car. "Yup." I smiled.

"Great!" Isaac smiled. He pulled out of the schools parking lot and drove off to the mall.

It took us about 35 minutes to get there. Isaac got out of the car first and helped me out. He grabbed my hand and we both walked in together.

We walked around for about an hour. Then we started getting hungry. "Where do you want to go to eat?" Isaac asked.

"Taco Bell." I said proudly. "I was thinking something more romantic but Taco Bell is good I guess." He chuckled.
