Here we go again. I walk into the front doors of this place of torture. Everybody stares at me like im from a different planet, but i'm used to it. Nobody really accepts me in this place. Except for my friends. My very few friends. But even they can get on my nerves sometimes. But i'm just afriad of losing them. I can't lose more people...
"Hey Autumn" Matthew says, but with his lisp it sounds like " Eye Audummm". He walked up to me wearing his raggedy old Batman shirt and Jack Skellington zip-up along with a pair of skinny jeans and some worn-out Adidas. His short dark brown hair almost curled on his head. Fernanda came up behind him, her beautiful smile making me feel happy inside. She wore a PTV shirt that she's had since last year (even though she barely even listens to them) and some blue jeans and her Nightmare Before Christmas jacket. Her think scene haircut got in my face as she hugged me. The three of us started walking down the hallways together, trying our best to ignore the random profanities and abuses shout at us from the other kids. The popular's stared at me, probably making a joke about how ugly or fat I am. "You look really good today Autumn" Fernanda said to me. I looked down at my body cuz I forgot what I was wearing. Black jeans and my faded Nirvana shirt with my Vans and black zip-up jacket. I couldn't understand how anybody could think that I looked "good" but I said thanks anyway. I spaced out as Fernanda started talking about her boyfriend. I can't handle when people talk about their loves or romances. It's not jealousy. It's more of a selfish thing I guess. I don't really talk much about it.
"HEY GUYS! A LITTLE HELP!" I heard a deep voice call out. I turned around to see Robert running down the hallways, carrying his dorky green backpack and lunch box. His arms were full of binders and papers, almost to the point that I couldn't see his face. We all ran up to him and we each grabbed a few papers or binders and stood there while he got his stuff in order. He had long thick almost black hair that stuck in front of his eyes, practically hiding his entire face. He wore some anime shirt, a dark blue hoodie, and light blue jeans that were so big he had to wear a belt to keep them up and a pair of big black Vans.
I heard a small squeal from Fernanda and I turned around to find her boyfriend Joey holding her from behind. He wore a black hoodie and some skinny dark blue jeans with his worn out Walmart shoes. His light brown hair swept across her shoulders as he reached down to kiss her neck. "Ewww get a room" I said loudly and me and Matthew laughed as Yolanda walked over to all of us. She wore a MMF shirt and a pair of red jeans and her knee-length Converse with probably 12 different bracelets on her wrists. "Joey's gonna give her cooties" she joked and we all laughed as Joey finally stepped away to Fernanda's side, holding her hand.
We all stood in the middle of the hallway talking about different tv shows as Britt walked up to us. Her short blond hair swept in front of her blue eyes as she leaned down to grab the rest of the papers Robert had dropped and handed them to him. She wore an MCR shirt and some purple jeans with ankle-length Converse and her lots-of-pockets green jacket with headphones in her ears. She was staring at the wall as we kept calling her name until finally Robert pulled her earbuds out and before she could complain he leaned over and kissed her.
"Ewww double cooties" Yolanda shouted as she waved her hand in front of her face pretending to swat away fly's. We all laughed and started talking again about different cartoons. "Hey fag, come over here why don't ya" I heard a pop shout over to us. "Oooh fun time" Britt whispered to us as she ran over to him. Yolanda and Matty followed her across the hallway to the jock. I forgot his name, maybe Davis or something. She walked over to him and said very loudly "Which one of us were u talking about? I mean, none of us are really, like, straight"I heard Robert giggle "So were u talking to uh me or him" she pointed at Matt "or her" pointed at Yolanda "or them?" she pointed at the rest of us. "You can see my confusion, right?" The boy stared at her wide eyed for a few moments before she walked away, me and Yolanda following behind her trying not to laugh.
When the three of us got back over to our friends we all laughed at once, Fernanda turning red in the face because of the humiliation. The bell rang and we all started walking to our classes, Britt and Joey to math, Fernanda and Yolanda to P.E. and me, Robert, and Matt to english. I walked into the classroom behind the two of them, the November breeze hitting my face. Two more weeks until Thanksgiving break. Then Fernanda's quince. And then back to this hell. I sat down in my desk in the corner of the room as Ms. Cashin walked to the front.
"Alright guys, today we have a new student. She'll walk in sometime in the next few minutes. Try not to make her uncomfortable" she eyed the bullies in the front of the class as she said 'uncomfortable'. She started teaching about grammer or something. I dazed out of the window staring at the trees, daydreaming about random things. Maybe a few minutes later I heard the door open and some small footsteps as she walked in. That was the first time I saw her. Her long black scene haircut that came down to her waist. Her black and striped gray jacket that came to her knees along with her faded gray jeans. Her black shoes. And her face. Oh her beautiful face. I didn't think it was possible that anybody could be so beautiful... My stomach instantly got in knots when I saw her. And then she walked towards my table, and sat down in the chair next to me.
