Chapter 14

I soon discovered that 'Food Tech' was my new favourite subject. I mean come on, all you had to do was make some fancy pants dinner/dessert and you had an A*. When you had parents that didn't need to sleep and had unlimited time to do anything, you found that they were good at everything. This included cooking, all of my family were exceptionally good at it; my dad and Esme being up to gourmet chef standards. The only bit that maybe took some effort would be the fact that you may have to do a bit of coursework now and then, but stuff it, the benefits of eating the food are still there.

Food Tech was quite an easy lesson, I thought. I didn't have to work very hard nor pay much attention. I just sat there and studied everyone around the room. I could easily see the different little cliques throughout the room; the sport lovers; the nice popular girls; the bitchy popular girls; the slags; the middle people; and the book lovers. I tried to imagine putting myself in each of the groups and seeing what my appearance etc. would be. I could only see myself being in the popular girls group. However vain it sounded, it was the only group I was really that bothered about. Oh well, it would never happen- I loved Lilly and Millie. Although I did need more friends than that...this Lidee girl sounded alright though.

My teacher for food tech was okay, I guess, nothing inspirational, but could be a lot worse. She wasn't patronizing like some of the teachers my parents told me about. A couple of people made conversation with me throughout the lesson but the only person I made a proper effort with was a boy called Cody. He had a beautiful head full of hair, it was a dark blonde colour which was in a Justin Bieber style, swept across his forehead. He was gorgeous. With lovely piercing blue eyes, oh wow. Hello there. We bantered a bit over what type of cookie was the best- chocolate chip or peanut butter. I was for the chocolate chip ones, of course.

"A peanut butter cookie? Disappointing, Cody."

"Oh well I am so sorry chummy."

"Chummy? What does that mean?"

"Chummy is the name for a friend , my dear chummy!"

"Oh why thank you very much... Chummy!" We were getting cheeky, not in the cheeky way you think...cheeky. That's another good word, cheeky, can be said in a lot of different ways, wait, moving away from the point here. Cody just called me his chummy, my inner goddess was giving me a thumbs up, whilst my subconscious just stands there tutting at me. Oh well, shush, you subconscious, you my friend are not needed.

"So how are you liking England then, Nessie? Does it live up to your standards?" The beautiful haired boy asks me. Mmm. I take a while to answer this as I consider the question. Does it live up to my standards? Well its definitely given me a fresh start, which is exactly what I wanted.

"Oh, I guess its okay, nothing special…" I said to Cody in a playful voice. He rolled his eyes at me.

"Uh huh, okay then…what have you got now?"

Oh yes, good question, what did I have next lesson? I looked at him with panicked eyes, not even knowing where to look to see what lesson I had next.

"Its in the back of your school diary, Mr. Lewis gave you one this morning." Oh yep, right, of course. I got it out of my bag and flipped to the timetable page. Apparently I had Spanish. Oh lord, you had got to be kidding me. Spanish!? What were my parents playing at?

"Spanish apparently, what a joke."

"Ahh, hola senera, me gusta espanol." What? Cody could speak Spanish?

"You know Spanish?"

"No, I did it for a while in year 9, but didn't choose it for GCSE. You don't know anything about Spanish, do you?"

"Cody, I can barely speak English, yet alone another language..." This made him smile. Apparently he liked little miss sarcastic, nice one. Sarcasm is a good way of communication, you can insult people and yourself, but its funny.

"Oh yes, poor you, miss I can only speak one language." Yep, and I was damn proud of it I would have him know.

"Hey now, there's nothing wrong with only speaking one language. It's not going to hugely change my life, is it?"

"Most boys think girls who can speak a couple of languages majorly attractive, chummy." Oh, did they now? Well bonjour, you could just call me the speaker of the language of love.

"Cor, okay, better get started on this language developing then..." Cody quietly chucked to himself. This boy was really something, I thought to myself.

"Yep, you better get cracking." The bell went just as he finished talking. Oh my, that lesson just flew by!

"See ya later Cody, thanks for a great first lesson!" I said to him as I started to move out.

"Okay, bye Nessie. Uh- Ness…?"

"Yes?" He suddenly had a bit of a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, its fine now."

"Uh, okay then…? See you later!"

What was that all that about? I shrugged my shoulders and walked out. Just as i was going through the doorway I looked over my shoulder to see Cody with his head in his hands, tutting to himself. I didn't know whether I should have said anything, but he looked like he was upset about something, so I just left him. That sounds harsh, but if he needed help or something, he would have asked for it? Surely?

Spanish was boring, as to be expected. Nothing was really happening now, as it was near the end of the term. Lunch was by far my most favourite part of the day. It was such a typical lunch room, with tables and chairs, and even a buffet! Tom hollered at me from the other end of the room which, if I may add, embarrassed the hell out of me. Thanks Tommo. He was sitting with Lilly and Milly.

"Alright lads…and girlies." I said, sitting down and making myself comfy.

"Mmm, yeah, we're fine, how was food?" Lilly asked me, she had a bit of a glint in her eye. What was I missing?

"Nessie, would you like to explain to me why Cody English was talking about you in Graphics? And why he is staring at you from across the cafe and until you sat down, his eyes didn't leave that little arse of yours?" Woah, information overload. You could hear Tom's jaw hit the floor and see my eyes pretty much pop out of my head. Daymn, how did this girl know so much?

"Umm, well…what was he saying about me? He sits next to me in Food Tech, we just talked." I said with a small smile playing on my lips, remembering our banter.

"Uh huh, I'm sure you guys talked. He was saying something about how he was going to ask you out but mucked it up and stuttered and stuff, his friends took the piss out of him, poor thing."

"Ahh, yes! I remember, he looked like he wanted to say something but didn't and he looked quite frustrated when I left at the end of the lesson as well." It all fell into place! Ooer, I hoped he didn't like me that much, I already had Tom and Jacob...which reminded me, I needed to sort those two out. Who did I want? Woah, deal with that later, Ness? Yep, okay, got it.

"Ness, he's coming over..."

My eyes widened. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see none other than Cody standing there, smiling down at me.

"Oh hi Cody, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?" A coincidence?! Really Renesmee Cullen?! That's the best you can do? What else is he going to be doing in a cafe, and at school?

"I'm here, ya know, eating? Like every other person." He grinned down at me.

"Oh, of course, so silly of me! What can I do for you?"

"I'd like to talk to you, like privately, if that's okay?" I gulped, what on earth did this boy want?

"Okay, I'm following you." We go off and sit at a table in the far corner. I can pretty much feel the whole cafe staring at me.

"Have you got a date to prom, Nessie?" Don't hold back here love, you just dive right in.

"Um, kind of, I was just going to go with the girls." That was a blatant lie. I wanted Tom to ask me, lets face it.

"Oh right, that's cool, I guess, save a dance for me then?" The poor kid looked like I'd taken his favourite teddy bear away from him.

"Of course, I'll see you later on, bye!" I exited quickly, not wanting to be the centre of everyone's attention anymore. It was too much pressure. I took a seat back at my table and immediately everyone's eyes were on me, giving me quizzical glances. I kept my face impassive.

"He asked me to prom, I said no, happy now?" Lilly and Milly giggled at me, Tom just sat there with a small smile on his face, yes you, act smug.

"Incredibly. I'm sure some other people will be happier than others at this news." Milly said, whilst pointedly looking at Tom.

"Mm, yes, I hope so." The bell went to signal the end of lunch. I had English last lesson with Lydia, which was a lesson full of giggles. I went home to tell my parents all about my day, and happily fell asleep that night with a smile on my face.
