"yeah funny" i say. We start walking towards our first period class. I need to get Lucy to trust me so that she can get some real help.
*****************
"what can you guys tell me about Lucy?" I ask when i sit down at our table. Everyone who was talking stops.
"You mean lucifer?" Derik says with his mouth full of hamburger. "We know tons about her dont we guys?" He gives me a wink and then gets back to eating his burger.
"what about you mike? you are her neighbor. what do you know about her?" I ask.
"Im not her stalker, i dont keep tabs on her just because i live next door." Mike says.
"Everybody knows about her freak boyfriend though." Derik starts "he is like the drug master of the centry. Heard he could be pretty violent too. But mostly he is known for his parties. I got invited once but my mother decided to change the code for the lock so i couldnt sneak out. Missed an opportunity of a life time." I look around the cafeteria for Lucy. She is not at her usual empty table.
"But what can you tell me about her? I mean she is your victum of the year so you must know something about her" I say.
"I heard she gets around. If. you. know. what. i. mean." Derik says while punching me in the arm after every word to make sure his meaning got across.
"Yeah" I say punching Derik as hard as i can in the arm "I do. and i dont think she is like that."
"Ooooo Sethy got a crush on the devils minion?" says James. All the guys turned and made kissy faces at me.
"Ok guys cut it out. I dont like her. Cant i try to be friends with her and not like her at the same time?" I say. Nopes went around the table.
"Nope especially if she is our vitum of the year. You trying to be friends with her is like you going against the group here. You need to do whats best for the group Seth. Get it in your brain she doesnt want you to bother her and we dont want you to bother her." Matt says. Maybe trying to be friends with her is stupid. No body wants this except me. I look around for Lucy again. This time i do see her but her head is on the table and her dark hair is spread all around. No this isnt stupid she needs someone to count on. More simply she needs Jesus.
