Lunch Time

Callum is already half the hallway away before I even close my locker door. Closing the door I see him standing in the middle of the corridor, then he turns around and looks back “Amy I know you must be sick of this today!” Holding up his map of the school “But can you point me in the direction of the cafeteria?”

“No problem just follow me!” coming up beside him just before Mr. Olsen pops his head out of his classroom

“And why are you two still in this hallway?

“Sorry sir I’m new here and don’t know where i’m going and she’s being kind to show me!”

“Well show him faster or you both can have the pleasure of looking for the detention room tonight!” Closing the door a little too hard, rattling the glass in it’s frame.

Taking Callum by the hand, feeling an electric sensation travel through my skin, rushing to the end stairs then down them “Don’t mind old man Olsen, it’s his last year and he’s taking it out on everyone!” Leading him to the rear door of the cafeteria. “So here we are!”

Leading him inside showing him the door that leads to the kitchen before going to claim my usual table beside the door leading to the automotive classroom. Six minutes later,Callum join me looking to set his tray containing a coke and a slice of bisquick pizza down. “Wow when I get use to my surrounding I’ve got to explore better options for lunch!”

“Even the outside choices aren’t any better I’m afraid!” Moving my lunch out of his way. “That’s why I brown bag from home!” As his tray descends our skin touches again and I get the same electric feeling once more before we break contact. As he sits I can’t bear to look into his eyes.

“So Amy have you been here in Mississauga?”

“Born and bred!” And for some unknown reason i just couldn’t stop talking “And here at Kennedy since grade nine!” Our eyes lock and I feel myself falling into their depths. Not sure how long or what was being said, all I knew was his eyes until he took my hand.

“Hey earth to Amy, I asked you if I should meet you by your locker to walk home tonight?”

Shaking me head to clear the cobwebs “What? Oh Sure meet me at my locker after next period!” Trying to seem like i knew what was said “So what is your last class

“Automotive 401” As the bell sounds

“That’s just outside that door there, no way you can be late for that class!” Collecting my garbage as I get ready to go to English. “See you at my locker Callum!” Rushing out before he realizes that I was infatuated with him!
