I sat in the back of the class. It was lunch time, but I had no desire to socialise.
You see, I was a social reject. I wasn't like other girls- or like anyone else for that matter.
I sighed and plugged in my earbuds. I didn't have airpods- I was too much of an outcast to have anything trendy. I closed my eyes as the music started to play, calming me. Suddenly, a voice interrupted my moment of peace.
"What are you listening to Rain?" That's me. Rainleigh Grace Smith.
When I was born, it was a dark and stormy night. My dad was driving home to get to my labouring mother, but there was so much rain that he couldn't see where he was going. His car went over the cliff. I was named Rainleigh to honour his memory.
Most people call me rain though. I think it's more quirky and mysterious.
"Rain?" The voice shook me from my thoughts once again. I looked up to see the owner. It was Erin Electrica, my... friend, I suppose.
Well, most people would consider them my friend, but I don't have friends. I'm a social reject, remember?
"Oh he's really underground, you probably wouldn't have heard of him." I sighed. I wish Erin would stop trying to understand the things I like. They'll never really get me. "Please Rain, I might have heard of him."
I sighed once more. "Fine. I'm listening to....Ed Sheeran."
Erin's jaw dropped. "Ed Sheeran? Not THE Ed Sheeran?? The really alt one? I heard he's a bad boy."
Honestly, Erin's so silly sometimes. "He's not bad, Erin. He's just...misunderstood. I bet I could change him."
"Be careful, Rain. He's a really bad boy."
I snorted. "I'm serious. I don't know how to tell you this, but... I heard he's an...."
"A what Erin?" I snapped, getting impatient.
"An... an.......emo."
