Only I Matter

CH. 2 Soccer Try Outs

My whole morning was made to see how everyone stared at Kelly as she walked with a huge coffee stain on her jeans. It looked like a mix of the both numbers. People laughed and teased her.

"Wow Kelly, couldn't get to the bathroom on time?" oh there went another guy making fun of her. Haha I had to look away for Kelly not to see me chuckling at the guys' comment. If Kelly didn't think we were friends then I would've been throwing a few jokes at her too. 'Damn' I thought to myself as an insult crossed my mind. It would've been funny to have used it.

"Don't listen to him," I rubbed Kellys' shoulder to make her think I wanted her to be happy. When in reality I wanted more people to come up to her and make her feel worse.

"Why can't people be as nice as you, Shanelle?" Kelly frowns. Making me look away to roll my eyes in frustration. Oh how much I hated having to bring her mood up. This bitch needed to be slapped. She needed to be told that she couldn't trust anyone in this world. That she had to fight through it and not just expect for everyone to be kind.

"Because they're jerks, I'm your friend," I smiled at her while throwing my arm over her shoulder.

"I'm so lucky that you're my best friend," she cheered up. She was back to being her perky self again. 'Ugh, how can she put up with herself 24/7?' I mentally asked myself.

We walked to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Thankedfully there weren't a line of assholes trying to get lunch. We walked in to see our options of food. There were what the school called 'burgers', 'nachos', 'burritos', and what actually was somewhat decent, pizza. Unfortunately for one of us, there was only one slice of pizza left. Kelly placed it on her tray.

Did it bother me? Hell yeah. Even though I was no where near the pizza when she picked it up, I still deserved to have it.

I stared at the pizza then up at Kelly. "Did you want the pizza, Shanelle?" Kelly asked me with that stupid innocent and confused look on her face.

"Yeah," I replied more in a duh tone of voice.

"Oh I'm sorry, here you take it," she took the pizza off her tray and placed it on mine. Without even protesting, I walked away. There was no need in thanking her. After all, that pizza belonged to me.

Having Kelly walk behind me made me sit at the nearest table. People were staring and chuckling at her jeans. Even though it satisfied me, it still embarrassed me. She was my 'friend' and that was just going to give bitchy girls a reason to talk about me. I didn't give a fuck if they talked about me because of something I did but it did bother me if they talked shit about me because of Kelly. There was where I drew the line. That was when I gave a fuck. They could talk shit about Kelly all they want.

"Don't even bother getting upset about people making fun of you," I said while taking a glance at the idiotic teens who behaved like children.

"Oh, I didn't even notice them making fun of me," Kelly then realized they were and fowned once again.

"Well they were," I pointed out again. Haha damn, I was good at making her upset. I loved when she wasn't perky. That just annoyed the fuck out of me. Realizing that I wasn't acting like a friend, I tried cheering her up again. "Hey, they're immature. Don't get upset over something like that," I tried giving her one of those overly nice smiles of mine.

"You're right. Tanks you once again for being my friend," she gave me a genienly smile. 'Wow, this idiot is easy to cheer up' I thought. Better, I didn't need to eat with her complaining.

"Are you trying out for soccer after school?" she asked me. It was probably her way of changing the topic since I had already told her days before that I was.
