Before my last breath

Last day before summer

This was the day I had been looking forward to all year. I know that sounds so sad but it's so true. The summer was near and school was so close to ending so what is there not to love. I was at lunch on my own table as usual eating my double portions of burger and chips with beans and ketchup. So much food for one person, would usually be the comment I heard drifting around me. And I can't deny it, it's true I ate a lot of food. But today was different when I arrived at school people were actually being nice to me. At first I thought it was a joke because you can't just gain friends as soon as you walk in, especially looking like me. However, as the day went on people wanted to be my partner, they wanted to talk to me, they asked for my phone number so they could text me. It was honestly the best day I could have asked for. Then it was lunch and I was sitting eating my food. The burger and chips I was talking about had already been devoured by my huge food hungry mouth. I was about to get up to get my two portions of cake when I saw a group of people walking up to me. Great. This can only mean one thing, trouble. I took a quick glance to see who it was. God, it was my favorite people. If you did not take the hint I hate them, remember I have no friends. It was Cleo, Brittany and the leader of them all Paris. They strutted over to me and Paris parted her glossy lips to speak. I braced myself for the worst. "Hiii, how are you? Your look so great!" What the hell! They were being so nice to me it was like a dream. They might as well ask to sit with me. "Hey bestie, can we sit with you." Cleo said as she high-fived me. "Wow, umm you sit with me. Do you even have to ask. Take a seat." I stuttered this trying to find the right words . It sounded so needy but at the time it's all I could think of. It's better to come off as keen than rude, right? I took my arm and scraped all the food and plates onto my side of the table. As they perched down beside me my heart skipped so many beats. Was my life finally turning around, could I have more than one friend? "So wanna hear some gossip?" Slurs Brittany. "Duh course she does." Interrupts Cleo. "So basically you know Matt, he has a huge crush on you. Like the whole school knows." Oh my god the words that just came out of Paris's mouth were like sugar on top of strawberries. " Matt as in Cleo's ex?" I ask just to make sure. " Y'a of course." Cleo says with no care in the world. "So you don't care that he likes me?" I stutter thinking about how terrible the breakup was during class " Yeh don't worry Cleo does not care. Right Cleo?" Says Brittany staring at Cleo. " Duh, us besties don't get jealous. Go for it" Chants Cleo. " Go on. Go ask him out. Then you can spend the whole summer together like in the movies!" They all sing in unison. Could my life actually be piecing it self back together. Did the hottest boy in the school just ask me out or what! " Sure, he is right over there I will go do it now!" I say this giddily standing up and prancing down the cafeteria over the the boys table. If only I had eyes on the back of my head I would have seen the smirks the girls gave behind me.
