The picture that you are citing, was based on European concepts of dining. In the Middle East, food was eaten reclining around a central table, and thus it was likely that Jesus sat in a central position, and the disciples were on the sides of that central table.

Nobody knows how they really sat. All images of the Last Supper are art, the most famous is the one by Leonardo da vinci. Each artist chose what they thought would be a good composition.

If you still have disbelief about the information I just gave you, you are welcome to read about Mary Magdalene on Google, Wikipedia, or some website like that, I am only 13 and I am still discovering new things about Catholicism /:
