Cara watched as Jacob and Lacey left the Canteen, and Jacob had his arm around Lacey. Her heart sank. She wished that was her. She sighed, biting her lip sadly. Cara ran her fingers through her hair, set her salad down on the table, then turned and headed off toward the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, Cara walked inside the stall and locked it behind her. She leaned against the stall door, shutting her eyes. She took a deep breath. She was roommates with Lacey, maybe she could to talk to her about Jacob later that night, and find out whether Lacey liked him. That sounded like a decent plan to her and she began to calm down.
Cara unlocked the stall door and went over to the sink. She looked at her face in the mirror, applied a coat of lip gloss, then exited the bathroom. She walked back over to the table Darcy was sitting at, and glanced again at the girl playing Gameboy, before sitting down.
