Kiss Me Again

We soon entered the noisy cafeteria after stopping to get our lunches. Alex then escorted me to a table where I saw the guys laughing and sipping Gatorade. Jack looked up and noticed us sit down.
"Gaskarth! Tay! So, how was your day?" he said in a "mom" voice, causing us both to crack a smile.
"Hey! Well uh..I met Tay, here. Made myself a friend." Alex answered. I smiled at him, but I could have sworn I saw Jack wink from the corner of my eye.
"Okay, SO.." Rian leaned into the table towards the guys, and they all gave him their individed attention.
"I scored myself a date with Brinley-"
"That cheerleader chick?!" Jack asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Yeah man, that's the one!!" They exchanged a handshake.
"Nah man, that's nothing. Karla..or Carter...whatever her name is..she came over to my place last night..." Zack grinned, proud of himself.
"Aww man..did you tap that?!" Rian gave him a fist bump.
Zack just smirked in return, and the guys roared and shared more fist bumps.
I was quite disgusted in the way they were just talking about girls like they were a piece of meat. It brought back too many memories of past relationships. That shit hurts..feeling like you're worthless because you've been played so many times. I turned to look at Alex. He wasn't cheering with them, but he was just intently smiling at them, occasionally nodding his head in agreement. Ugh..wow. This is pathetic. I couldn't take it anymore.
"Umm..I think I'm just gonna..go. I need some..uhh..air. I-I'll see you guys later.." I scrunched my lips together and got up, glancing at Alex for a minute, then I left the cafeteria.
I soon heard feet running behind me.
"Tay! Wait up!" It was Alex.
I turned around. "What do you want, Alex? Wouldn't you much rather go sit with "the guys" and talk about who your next victim will be?" I felt myself heating up with anger.
He looked a bit shocked, he blinked a few times with his mouth hanging open.
"Tay, I-"
"Save it." I cut him off, then started to walk away.
"No listen!" He grabbed my arm, stopping me from walking.
"I'm not like them..I know what it looks like, and that's not me, I promise."
"If that's not you, then why do you hang out with them? Why do you agree with them? Why do-"
He cut me off. "Because they're my friends. They aren't bad people, they just...don't always think before they act. They'd much rather sleep around and stuff. I mean- sex is great, but I'm more into.."
"Real relationships?" I finished his sentence.
"Exactly. They're a handful, but they're my bros. I don't really agree with them all the time, but hey- what are ya gonna do?"
"You could speak up..maybe tell them they're being immature douchebags." I rolled my eyes.
He just sighed. "I'll try to get them to calm down a bit. I'm really sorry about their behavior, but please..just give em a chance." he gave me a little goofy, hopeful smile that I couldn't help but smile back at.
"Okay, fine. Sorry for bitching at you, I just hate it when guys disrespect girls. But I mean, they are your friends, there's only so much you can do, right?" I tried putting myself in that position. Must be a lot of pressure.
"Hey, it's alright. I love a girl who can speak her mind." he smirked at me, and I just rolled my eyes and smiled. Then we headed back inside.

The rest of lunch was better. The guys changed the subject to football. Luckily, that was a sport I liked, so I happily joined in with the conversation. Alex was right, those guys aren't bad. Anytime someone brought up something about girls, Alex would glare at them, and they instantly shut up. I just grinned down at my food and sighed in content.
After lunch, Alex showed me where my history class was. That was Extra boring and slow..I know already that it'll be a class I hate. When that class was over, I left the room only to be stopped by Alex. He held his hand out expectantly.
"Schedule?"
I smirked and handed it to him. He studied it, then took me to the chemistry room. He stopped in front of the door and handed me back my schedule.
"There's a quiz going on in that class today..of course y-you won't be expected to take it today, but when you do, I-I have notes that you can study off of..it was a bit challenging..NOT that it'll be challenging for you, but yeah.." he rambled on, nervously running his fingers through his hair.
"I mean- I can't give it to you right at this second, it's in my locker but uhh-" he was cut off by the bell ringing.
"Shit."
I giggled at him. "Get to class, Gaskarth. And thanks." I gave him a smile.
"Oh yeah, anytime." He blushed deeply and nervously smiled, then quickly walked off to class.
I found myself watching his butt.
He's got a nice ass. I thought. I quickly shook my thoughts away.
Don't let him get to you, Tay. Stay away from boys. They're nothing but trouble.
I scolded myself.
Then I walked into the classroom, again receiving an awkward introduction. But I didn't feel nervous anymore.
I felt kinda happy.
