Eli-
Eli let a silent sigh of relief escape her slightly parted lips as her friends agreed with eating outside. Thank God. She quickly paid for her burrito and water, the lunch lady giving her a skeptical look as she handed a her an one dollar bill. "Lunch is four dollars," the elderly lady said in a scratchy voice which sounded that of a high-pitched rasp. Eli's face quickly turned three different shades of red. "I'll pay the rest tomorrow, promise." she whispered with her head lowered just a little. The lunch lady sighed angrily. "You better, Eli, it will be seven dollars," she hissed, Elizabeth just nodding in response as she turned and headed towards the double-doors heading outside. No one sat out there because right outside those doors were the dumpsters; Some chick told Eli one day that she deserved to sit out there, be the "Queen of Garbage." Elizabeth simply scoffed at the idea, tightening her grip on the burrito which she held currently.
"Let's try to find a place farthest away from the dumpsters," she called to her friends as she pushed through the doors, skin meeting the chilly air which gave her slightly exposed arms goosebumps. It felt nice, Fall was her favorite season. In her opinion fall meant hoodies, bonfires, pumpkins, scarecrows, and her favorite holiday.. Halloween. Eli spotted a "nice" patch of dying, yellow-ish brown grass and nodded towards it reluctantly. "There," she said, walking over and plopping down. She sat her water and burrito down, pushing her glasses off the bridge of her nose once more. "I really dislike those people in there," she murmured, glancing at Ares, then Ellie, then Tammy. They were the only ones who understood her, considering they were in the same situation. They were.. The only ones that took time to actually get to know her. In Elizabeth's eyes, in some weird way, they were.. Heroes, helping her fight against the Villains which swarmed Melbourne High.
"I mean, they don't even know us, yet feel the need to call us nerds.. And yell at us.. And throw things at us, and trip us." Eli went on, her usual rant which she spewed daily. It was annoying though! Those "popular" people were ugly. Not in a physical sense, obviously, but in a "person" sense. Honestly, she didn't care to tell them that to their face, as long as something bullet proof kept them from getting her..
