I take a deep breath and push open the Cafeteria doors. I scan the tables until I find Edwin, Ashton, and Amber sitting together at a table near the back. Everyone was glancing at them and then lowering their heads together with their friends and whispering. It was easy to tell we were the most talked about people in the school at the moment.

I smile when Amber sees me and motion to the lunch line. As I head over there, I can feel a lot of eyes burning holes through my back. Once I get to the line, a freshman who obviously got there first lets me cut. I never got special treatment.

I get my lunch and hurry over to the table with the boys and my sister.

“Hey.â€? I say, setting my stuff down next to Edwin and sitting. “What’s with everyone starring and the special treatment?â€?
