A Lost Cause

School.

I don't know anyone here so i decide to make some friends. So I walk up to this nice looking group of girls and say hello.

"Guten Tag!" I say. That's Good Day in German.

One of them responds saying, "Are you lost?" They all laughed and I walk away.

Well, wasn't that just lovely? I decide to sit down at an empty lunch table at lunch time.

As I've been sitting here a while, alone of course, the group I approached earlier was sitting behind me. I didn't mind until one of them kept throwing small pieces of food at me constantly.

I turn around and say, "Will you please stop that?!" It got pretty annoying to be honest.

"Stop what?" Says a shorter girl in the group.

"Throwing food at me," I snap at them.

Then, one of the girls stands up and walks over to me while a bowl of applesauce and dumps it on my head. Everyone in the room starts o laugh.

"Oops! Haha, sorry!" The girl says and walks back to her group of friends.

I sit there without movement. Who would even do such a thing? A boy from another group comes and sits next to me and says,

"They're all like that.. You've just got to get used to it. I'm sorry they did that to you," he starts. "Maybe you should come with me so you can get yourself cleaned up?"

I nod, about to cry. I can feel the tears coming.
