Fuck it.

To begin with he failed to be present either by talking to me or generally spending time with me. I went on describing everything he did. My rant would have lasted longer for him if someone hadn't interrupted me by bumping my leg. I instructed him to stop his behavior, yet he never paid any attention.

He took a few fries before my eyes but I chose not to interfere. My momentary lack of concern didn't stop it from annoying me completely.

Despite this, I continued.

Breaking up with someone for not engaging in sex demands a proficiency in ending relationships. And he's fucking terrible." I complained again, without much filter.

I knew my words were a bit harsh and showed too much information, but I had already spoken to them. After Hazel choked on her water Felix's eyes opened wide before he started laughing. After coughing a couple of times Hazel regained her composure.

You could not have said anything like that about him. she laughed.

I shrugged my shoulders and lifted my eyebrows without feeling any guilt.

"So let me get this straight." Felix asked with disbelief "She ended things with him because she rejected sex, but he isn't skilled at it?" he guessed. "The worst." I rolled my eyes.

Hazel burst into laughter again but could hardly catch her breath as she said, "Em stop." The poor kid's ego will shatter because of your words.

"Does it look like I care?" With a slight turn of my head, I manage to make eye contact with Jaxon. "Boy's egos should be crushed more often." I sneered. He turned to face me showing that he understood what I said. After rolling my eyes I turned my head back to face the others.

The constant bumping of his leg against mine became unbearable for me. The sound of my groan caused both to look at Jaxon.

I took his hat since he shouldn't be wearing it and then hit him with it because he ignored the teachers. "Ow." He raised his hands above his head to protect himself. I shoved his shoulder and muttered under my breath, "Stop kicking me." My grip on his hat led him to reach for it while I quickly moved it beyond his reach. For my own amusement I struck him with the hat again until he caught my wrist firmly but didn't try to get the hat back.

I moved my gaze from his strong grip on my wrist to his eyes which pointed at something entirely different.

I tracked his gaze which ended up on two kids walking across the cafeteria's center.

Those two kids are Savannah and Alec.

Ugh, what the fuck now?

The cafeteria transitioned from its normal loud state to quietness. The crowd of bystanders watched the two children who walked down the corridor while their hands remained intertwined.

As soon as they saw the two kids walking together some students pulled their phones out while others looked amazed. I, however, looked on with a scowl.

These two put me in the mood. More so now because they were together.

The pressure of Jaxon's fingers on my wrist diminished and my arm fell back down onto the table. I stared at them with such intensity it took several seconds for me to notice everyone else looking at me. I understood why. The fact that we had broken up was news to everyone until this moment. The crowd directed their phones at me while cameras captured the moment.

Passing by me triggered an immediate impulse to embarrass him. I stood up and grabbed my bag instantly while everyone watched me.

Directly across the aisle from me sat a girl at my table. While her smile appeared behind the camera she held her phone straight at me.

It seemed like everyone kept their breath suspended as they waited to see what I would do next.

I acted without thinking to comment humorously on what I had said before.

I stared at the girl's phone while I brought my pointer finger and thumb together closely.

I mouthed the words, "His dick's small." I proceeded to head towards the cafeteria entrance.

I glared at the two as I exited the room while laughter filled the space. I lacked direction but still had twenty minutes remaining for lunch.

I could find something to do.

The commotion I had created during lunchtime news spread rapidly so that by my last class period all students knew what I had said.
