"i can't move on, baby doll. waitin' on calls, flippin' through stations. i'm outclassed and it's outrageous.. and i'll take it all, baby doll. whatever's been weighin' you down—"

"watch where you're going sturniolo!" reece evans exclaimed as his left shoulder crashed into my entire left side, sending my right shoulder crashing into the lockers, and causing all of my books to fall.

my music stopped as my right airpod fell out of my ear. i felt it bounce off of my right foot and land on the floor next to it. i sighed as i bent down on one knee to quickly pick up my books. everyone in the hall was already laughing. it was time for lunch so everyone was in the halls preparing to go to the cafeteria. it was an everyday thing. it was like reece was purposefully looking for me to humiliate me. 

well it wasn't purposely, it was convenient for him. i watched as he walked up to his girlfriend and say something that made her laugh. 

"brielle bender! the one and only! the amazing! the magnificent! the-" he was cut off by brielle grabbing his face and kissing him. she pulled away with a broad smile and a laugh. i scoffed as i turned away. kissing in school? corniest thing ever.

i shrugged off the pain in my shoulder and grabbed my airpod. i gave it a quick wipe on my shirt and put it back in my ear. i double tapped it and baby doll by dominic fike resumed.

so did my walk to the library.

it was the only place i could enjoy my lunch in peace. me and the librarian, mrs. rose, were tight. i had been going in every day for the past two years. me being in my last year of high school didn't change a thing.

she lets me eat my lunch there, spend my free period there, and i even help her out. she's getting kinda old, but don't tell her i said that. she always recommends good books and we talk about them when i'm done reading. we have a good relationship and i'm really thankful for her. she is really what has kept me going.

i have friends, but i have no classes with any of them. my brothers, matt and nick have all the good classes. not me though.

but reece evans. the star football player around school. he was more of a star douchebag in my book. constantly picking on people just because he could. no one would call him out on it because they were scared of what he could do. what the people he knew could do.

he's dating brielle bender. the most popular girl in school, and in my eyes, the prettiest. she's the star on the girl's soccer team. they were pretty much the picture-perfect high school couple. but in reality, it was very much the opposite.

brielle was really smart. meaning she was in pretty much all of my classes. i say pretty much because she had to drop out of spanish because reece said they needed to have a class together. reece is not very book-smart, meaning brielle was in the most basic of spanish classes. reece was kind of controlling. i heard them arguing in front of the library all the time.

last year, reece was yelling at her because brielle couldn't come to his game because she had a game of her own. he told her that she was selfish, inconsiderate, and a bitch. it made zero sense and it took me everything to not beat the shit out of him. 

he left her in the hallway crying and i remember the entire encounter vividly. it was as close as i had ever gotten to brielle before and probably as close as i'd ever get.
