Toni POV:
The names go on one by one and I'm sleepy. Getting less than 3 hours of sleep was probably the worst thing I could do when the first day of school is the day after.
"Jason?"
The boy that sits beside me raises his hand and I realize that this is the boy who was on the school's feed last night. A bunch of girls in my class stare at him and I feel uncomfortable. Having a bunch of people staring my way makes me feel sick so I look down. I have always been uncomfortable with the way I look and the way people viewed me. I was lost in thought until the teacher said "These will be your permanent seats so I hope that everyone chose a seat they can work comfortably with, talk to your partner beside you and get to know them a bit more"
I freeze.
Oh my god everyone will hate me and as I expected, I have to see dirty glares from people all around the room.
"Uh hey my names Jason, I hate math and I like football," the boy beside me says
"Well, my name Is Toni, I love math and I hate football". I say back
The boy stares at me with such confusion, it's as if no one has talked to him like that before.
Well, he has to get used to it.
"AHA, what are you, a fucking nerd?" the boy says as he chuckles.
"no, I just enjoy it."
I am not sure what he expected me to say but I hate him already.
"looser, no wonder no one likes you"
I stop what I'm doing and process what he just said to me. Is that what people really think I am? Do people really not like me? just because I like a subject?.
"Okay, well no one likes you either, stop thinking you are all that because you are not," I say back
This time, he stops. He takes a inhale and laughed. "no one likes me you say? name one person that doesn't"
"me," I say
He looks at me with confused eyes. Yeah, he definitely never got that response before. I hate him, I can't believe I have to sit beside him for the whole year.
"I hope everyone had a good little chat with the person beside you!, I will now start our first unit, trigonometry!"
I hear a slight groan from the person next to me.
There is absolutely no way I can sit beside him the whole year.
