I wake up and go to my closet and pull out the school uniforms. Just looking at them makes me want to cry. I put on the khaki skirt, a white button down shirt, and a black tie. I look at myself in the mirror and brush my hair out a little bit. I put on mascara and eyeliner and I seem satisfied with myself. Well besides the hideous clothes on me. I get out of the bathroom and I walk past Melissa and we don’t say anything to each other. I grab my schedule and walk out of the room. I walk up to Bryce’s room and once I get to the door I knock.

“What do you-“ Connor says answering the door. He looks at me and smirks.

“Well don’t you like fine,” he say leaning against the doorway. Did I forget to mention that he had no shirt on? And pardon my French, but holy abs.

“Thanks,” I say feeling awkward.

“And what about me?” he asks pointing to himself.

“You look great,” I say feeling a little less awkward. I can’t believe I don’t feel embarrassed saying this.

“You want me to walk you to the cafeteria?” Connor asks me.

“Um well I was going-“ I start to say but I get interrupted.

“There you are,” Tyler says coming into the doorway. He steps past Connor and stands next to me. He is struggling a little bit trying to get his backpack strap on.

“I was going with Tyler,” I say. “Sorry.”

“You promise me that I can go with you tomorrow?” Connor asks me.

“Yeah sure,” I say.

“Great,” Connor says closing the door.

“You ready to go?” Tyler asks me once he gets his backpack strap situation under control.

“Yeah sure,” I say.

I follow Tyler as he leads the way down to the cafeteria.

“You have seemed to warm up to Connor since last night,” Tyler says looking at me.

“I guess,” I say shrugging. “He didn’t seem as perverted this morning. He was more cocky.”

“Yeah that sounds like Connor,” Tyler says. He turns a corner and I see a whole room full of people. “And this is the cafeteria.”

I follow Tyler to the line and he grabs a tray and I copy his actions. I look at the trays of food and see pancakes. Tyler grabs three and I grab one. We walk towards the table and Tyler goes to a table near the door. He sits down next to a girl who blonde hair and blue dip dyes. She has her back to him and he taps her on the shoulder and she spins around.

“Hey Tyler!” she says standing up. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him.

I stare back at them shocked and a little heartbroken. I didn’t know Tyler had a girlfriend. He was the only guy who treated me right last night, and I kind of fell of him.

“Oh, Haley this is Britt,” Tyler says sitting down.

“Hi,” I say smiling a little at her and sitting across from Tyler.

“Oh and if you want something to drink or syrup or butter it is over there,” Tyler says pointing towards the door. I see a machine like you see at fast food restaurants, a coffee machine, and a couple buckets which I’m guessing has butter and syrup. I nod and walk towards it.

I get a cup of coffee because it is early and I’m not a morning person. I put sugar and creamer in my coffee so it is about 95% sugar and 5% coffee. I brag a packet of butter and walk back towards my table.

“Isn’t it my turn to choose?” Britt asks. I sit down and open the butter and realize I forgot to grab a knife and fork. I sigh and get back up and walk over to the butter bucket. I see a machine and it is labeled forks, and I see another machine labeled knifes. I look at it confused trying to figure out how to get one.

“You push down on the lever,” I hear someone say. They reach in front of me and push the little lever and a fork comes out.  I turn and see Connor standing next to me.

“I was really confused the first time I saw it too,” Connor says. I pull the lever and grab a fork and knife.

“Where are you sitting?” I ask him.

“With Bryce, Damian, and a couple of other people over there,” Connor says nodding his head towards the table. I see it is on the opposite side of the room to where Tyler and I are sitting.

“I’ll be over there in a minute,” I say. I walk over to Britt and Tyler and say, “Hey Bryce wanted me to sit with him since we are both new.”

“Okay,” Tyler says looking at me a little confused.

“Thanks for walking me here,” I say picking up my tray and coffee and walking towards Connor’s table. I see a seat between Bryce and Connor. I sit there and Connor looks at me.

“Why do you move away from Tyler?” Connor asks him.

“Don’t question it,” I say.

“Well I just want to know,” Connor says.

“Do you want me to sit here or not?” I ask.

Connor looks at me and raises his eyebrows. “You’re a piece of work, you know that?”

“What happened to hating my roommates?” Bryce asks me.

“Well things change,” I say.

“Obviously,” he says pouring syrup on his pancakes.

“Oh shoot,” I say. “I forgot syrup.”

“Well go get it I don’t want to hear your first world problems,” Connor says.

I look at him and he smirks. I grab his fork and break it in half. “My fork! You broke my fork!”

“I don’t want to hear about your first world problems,” I say mimicking him.

“Whatever princess,” he says getting up.

“Don’t call me that,” I say.

“Too late princess,” he says walking over to the fork dispenser.

I glare at him and then I get an idea. I see a bottle of hot sauce at our table and I grab it and pour some into his drink. He starts coming back so I put the bottle back really quickly.

“I got a fork,” he says sitting it down and he grabs his drink and takes a sip. I watch as his eyes go wide and he spits it out on the table.

“Connor that is disguisting!” one of the girls squeals from across the table.

“Bryce drink!” Connor says. Bryce hands him his drink confused and Connor chugs it down. I bust out laughing and Connor glares at me.

“That’s what you get for calling me princess,” I tell him.

“Well I was going to give you something, but not now,” Connor says starting to eat his pancakes.

“What?” I ask.

“I got some syrup for the princess,” he says showing me some syrup packets in his hands, but he gives them to the girl across from him and she gives him a confused look.

“Thanks?” she says opening them and putting them on her pancakes.

“Well I don’t need syrup anyway,” I say eating my pancakes as well.

“You’re such a stubborn little princess,” Connor says smiling.
