They say opposites attract but what if two people do the same exact thing with different attitudes? Not so opposite now or are they?

"I feel like an idiot" -raven
"Yeah well that's what you get for asking her to walk with you when there was clearly a vehicle standing behind in broad daylight." -gena
Groaning I collect my books and pack my bag to go to the café.
"I didn't see it okay."
"Well anyways what's up with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"You seem a little off."
"It's cuz I feel stupid."
"Not because of that don't lie to me raven." Sighing I turn to her, face rigid eyes holding a knowing look.
"You know it already those idiots just felt like having a chat today."
"Why."
I look at her a little confused.
"Why do you let yourself go through this."
"Cuz I don't have any other choice."
"Yes you do you could put an end to this literally anything but this." Voice a little higher
"STOP LYING, if I could put an end to this I would have, you and I know this is the only way." I shout back.
"To let them pick on you just so you won't be involved in anything isn't fair raven this isn't fair to you.
"Yeah well that's how life is so suck it up." I get up and leave the house making my way to the park I need to cool down, I can't meet her like this.

"Oh hey, you are late."
Taking a look at my watch I stare at her. Her hair was a bit messy and only 1 strap of bag on her shoulder, looks like she came in a hurry.
"Sorry about that I got caught up with something."
"Hmm, alright then let's begin the work."
We get started on the plan her eyes were on the paper but I could just sense her mind was here.
"Hey do you want to take a break?"
Looking at me with a flustered look she says "Uh no I'm good."
"Really I think we should take a small break because doing all this won't matter if you aren't paying attention."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to slack off on purpose."
"It's alright, is something wrong?"
"No I'm good."
"If you say so it's fine if want to talk about it though."
Sighing she said
"You wouldn't understand."
"Well we can't find out if you don't tell me." Hesitantly she starts to tell "I got in a bit of a fight with my best friend."
"Is that why you were late?"
"Yes."
"Well it's just a fight I wouldn't worry too much about it."
"Neither would I, it's just this topic comes up frequently."
"Which topic if you are ok with telling that is."
"Uhm... I'm sorry it's a bit personal."
"Completely fine by me it's not like I'm your mother after all." I chuckle
"Yeah."
We order some food to get refreshed, she picks french fries and I go with mini rolls. While we wait I try to make some conversation.
"So do you live near the school?"
"Kinda my house is 20 mins away."
"That's still some distance you go by bus or parents pick you up?"
"We have a driver."
"We?"
"Oh I uh go with my best friend, we live in the same colony."
"Ah that must be great." I say surprised, living close to a friends house sure must mean they are really close.
"Not when you are fighting with the said person." She says chuckling.
Our food gets delivered we take a bite of our food and go back to talking.
"Is it that serious."
"Well I don't know to be honest I'm kinda bad when it comes to this."
"Friendships?"
"No I mean the keeping up part I don't know what to do if we disagree should I apologise should I listen, it's all grey for me."
"Well I am no expert on that either."
"Really, I don't believe it."
Looking at her confused I ask "Why?"
"You have a pretty big friend group and you all seem pretty fine hanging out, I uh saw you at school."
"Oh them.. they are a lot aren't they I guess some people might call it a big friend group but I wouldn't say so, we are all acquaintances at best we all only hang out with each other cuz none others talk to us normally."
"What do you mean normally."
"I am sure you have heard something about me if not before then now as you know I am a high achiever or more commonly known as a nerd, others think we are self entitled or narcissistic and so if they do talk with us they speak in like fancy long words to try to sound smart."
After a bit of silence which has me thinking if I should have never told her about this she finally replies.
"Oh, wow I kinda didn't expect that to be honest."
"It's the common behaviour in this teen society."
"I wouldn't say so."
"Why not."
"Why do you think they speak to you like that or why you guys are labelled as nerds."
Raising my brow I try to understand what she was getting at.
"Cuz we are top scorers?"
"Well that's one part of it but I think it's probably because of your reputation your involvement with teachers and the countless times you all were praised by head board members. Now imagine if you just studied and focused without having any of that, do you still think they would have treated you the same?"
Thinking hard I try to come with a suitable answer but I feel a little deprived of options.
"Uhmm.. I don't think so."
"Any guess on how they would treat you then hmm.?"
"I got nothing."
Chuckling she says
"Well, I do."
