Josh

Alex

There was a lunch break and I ran to the dining room to be there first because I go there so early like Annabeth. I really want to sit at table with her and get closer to her somehow. I've been trying for a month, but something always bothers me ...

I stood in line for food, and unbelievably she was two places in front of me. I didn't even see her leave the classroom.

And this time neither the boy nor her friends were here, finally my chance to shine.

She had already sat down at one table, and as soon as I could take my food and run after it, even though I had spilled soup all over the tray because of it, but it didn't matter now.

Just a few steps and-

"Fuck, that's not possible!" I cursed. Her friends and the boy who looked like her relatives showed up right away.

Not a single seat at her table.

I groaned. Maybe next time.

I had no choice but to please someone else with my presence.

I absolutely didn't want to go to the dining room. I had planned not to go there at all, I wasn't hungry anyway, but unfortunately Daniel scolded me and immediately drove me there to eat something.

I really didn't want to, I see Josh dreamily looking at Stephanie in class, and I don't want to see how he looks at her in the dining room. When I see him like that, I'm always a little sad about it ...

"Alex, is something wrong?" Jason asked me when he saw my face.

"Nothing important, just more shits in my love life." I smiled sadly and didn't want to discuss it further.

"Don't you want me to introduce you to someone?"

I just shook my head.

"I have an idea!" He beamed, wondering what 'great and wonderful' he had thought of again.

"What if I introduced you to Piper, she would advise you on what and how, she would definitely help you. And I don't take no as an answer. "

Well, it'll be great to talk to her. On the day I meet her I’ll excuse myself for a fever or something.

We took a meal in the dining room and sat down at a free table when someone punched me in the back, and I almost jumped to the ceiling.

"Hahaha!" I laughed when I saw his reaction. I know he's not a scary cat, but he always plucks at any jumpscar.

I sat down with him and Daniel the way I could see Stephannie. Alex glared at me, but I didn't take it seriously, he’s not like his sister.

“So what? How was it with her?” Daniel asked me.

"Her friends are terrible; I can break up to be here just like her. I swear I was only three steps away from sitting with her. " I dug into my food. It really annoys me. I hope that one fine day her friends will break their legs so that they are not here so fast and especially the boy, I hope that he will fall down the stairs soon. I looked at her and saw the boy have his arm around her shoulders and tell her something, I should have been there.

"Who is the boy anyway?" I asked, glaring at the boy.

"This is Luke, he's dating her," Daniel replied.

I took turns looking at Daniel and the boy.

"I thought you shouldn't date relatives."

Daniel was looking at me blankly. And Nico now really bent the metal fork and was about to do the same with the spoon.

"This is clear evidence when someone is totally in love with someone and they cannot accept the cruel truth that they are not destined to be together. And that's why they think it's different than it is. "I was angry. Why is he so blind?

She's dating someone else, he doesn't have a chance, like me, that I'll be ... with him.

"How do you think we're not meant to be together? You think I have no chance.” I frowned at him.

Why is he always sad or angry when I talk about her or the future that awaits me?

Wait.

Oh, no.

He is simply jealous. He is jealous that he is not the only one who is in love with Stephanie.

God, he likes her too, no! She will be mine!

"You're talking about me or yourself, I don't know about you, but I won't give up and I'll be with her in the end, I don't know about you?" I glared at him.

"What the hell are you talking about?" what kind of shit is that?

"Hey guys, I have to go, Piper tells me she wants to meet me in the hallway, so bye." Daniel said goodbye to us quickly and walked away. Great, so there won't be anyone to calm the situation down now.

"I'm talking about you being in love with Stephanie, too!" I frowned at him and he just stared at me blankly.

I had such a desire to tell him that I was in love with him and not with her. Because the idiot can't muffle his voice, everyone in the dining room was looking at me.

I wanted to yell, cry and it's all together.

"Josh, I'm not in love with her. Believe me. And if you'll allow me, I'd better go. "I spoke calmly and took my tray of food.

"Then why-" I wanted to ask him why he's always so sad and angry when I talk about her, but he's gone. Only now have I noticed that everyone is looking at us, but especially at him.

Great ... Thanks to me, I embarrassed him.

I returned the tray and walked out of the room toward the infirmary. I ran on the way there. I flew in there immediately, fortunately the nurse was not there. I wanted to cry so much. I took from the locker, where there were various medicines, I took pills, which have an excessive effect of cheerfulness. Although my stomach will hurt, I will survive.

I left a message for the nurse writing it, for what reasons I took those things, of course it was a lie.
