Halfway through, I decide to call Dylan and ask if he's here yet.

I reached for my bag and search for my phone but didn't find it. Then I remembered I kept it under my desk...I must have left it there!

I got up and drop my bag on my chair.

"Where are you going?" Ray asks me... Jessy and the others are focused on their lunch, not paying attention to us.

"To get my phone!"

He raised an eyebrow. "Your phone?"

"Yeah, I left it under my desk!" I replied.

He drops his spoon and got up.

"I'll come with you!"

I shake my head and pushed him back on the chair.

"Stay here, I'll be right back!"

"But...."

I gave him a stern look and lean closer to his ear.

"We've just become friends, you don't want me to change my mind now, do you?!" I sneered at him.

He shakes his head, I tap his back gently. "I will be back in a Jiffy!".

He nods.

“What I do shouldn't be any of your business”

I heard Juliet's voice growled from inside the classroom...I stop by the door to listen.
