The Goth. / Eddie Munson

Loser

I get out of bed and I get ready for school. I got changed into my freshly ironed cheer outfit and I had a slice of toast for breakfast. I put on my white high top converse quickly brushed my teeth before rushing out the door. I walked to school, I prefer walking as I get to smell the fresh autumn air. See the leaves falling and I love to stand on them, the crunch sound they make. I know it's childish but, it's the childish things that are sometimes the best. I heard footsteps in-front of me and I looked up, it was him. "The Loser", Eddie Munson. People always bullied him because he didn't "live in the nice part of town" and because of his interests. It is quite sad when I think about it, I was like him all of middle school but now i'm the most popular girl in school. I watched him shout at his uncle for making him late, I think he seen because he smiled at me. I quickly hid my face, I can't be seen with the loser. What would everyone think of me. I decided to speed up ahead of him so there wouldn't be anymore awkward eye contact. I was walking so fast I tripped up over a rock. I fell hard to the ground but I seen a hand drop out in-front of me. 'Hey are you okay?' he smiled. I looked up and seen him. 'uh. yeah i'm fine' i quickly wiped down my cheer uniform and took his hand and got up. 'y/n, right?' he asked. 'oh yeah and you're Eddie' he smiled 'Wow so you're not stuck up' I looked at him confused 'What is that supposed to mean?' I said with a tone looking him up and down. 'Well most popular people don't know us "losers" but with that tone maybe you are stuck up.' ugh that jerk I glared at him and stormed off again. I am not stuck up. 'Goodbye princess' I heard him laugh from far back. He's such a dick.

I sped up to school and quickly went to my locker. I was talking to Chrissy when I seen him walk through the doors. We made eye contact again and he smiled and walked over. I rolled my eyes and said 'ugh here comes the loser' Me and Chrissy started laughing. 'The universe keeps pushing us together y/l/n' he laughs. 'shut up Munson' that's when Jason walked over 'Chrissy, y/n is this freak bothering you?' Eddie walked off and rolled his eyes. 'Thanks babe' Chrissy said and kissed Jason. 'You guys are so cute' I said closing my locker. 'Aw y/n, You will get someone soon.' I laughed 'yeah sure' and I walked to class. Before I got through the door I seen someone around the corner. It was Chrissy and Eddie, he passed her a bag and she ran off. 'Munson? why the hell are you talking to Chrissy' I shouted over. He turned over super fast, he looked scared. 'Well?' I asked again. He wasn't replying. 'Go to hell Munson.' 'See you there' he laughed back. I rolled my eyes. 'And what is that supposed to mean' 'I know the real y/n. You're not a popular, stuck up cheerleader. You're a freak and a loser. Just like me.' he began laughing. 'I am not.' 'Prove it.' he walked away. What the he'll does that mean? How do I prove it. Ugh I hate that Munson so much.

I went into class and the teacher looked at me. 'y/n y/l/n, want to tell the class why you were late?' 'not really' 'well detention with me after school. take your seat.' I rolled my eyes and sat down. Someone walked in 5 minutes later. I looked up and it was him again. He's everywhere, he's following me. why can't he leave me alone. 'Eddie Munson. late again, detention with me after school. go take a seat next to y/n.' 'ugh' i groaned and rolled my eyes 'If you have a problem with it miss y/l/n you can take it up with me after school tomorrow too.' i rolled my eyes and slumped down in my seat. After that painfully boring lesson I went to go practise for the game. I was talking to Chrissy and I told her what happened in that last lesson. 'Eddie is such a dick' she laughed. 'Chrissy? can I ask you something?' 'sure' she smiled 'Why were you talking to him before class. I caught you?' Her face turned white and emotionless. 'Oh yeah.. hah He was just asking what time it was.' I didn't believe her but I wasn't gonna let her know that 'Oh he's such a dork' I laughed. I was so confused, why didn't she just tell me the truth. We're supposed to be best friends. I was hurt, she lied. I continued practicing for the game, I wasn't going to let anything come between me and getting a scholarship to my dream college.

After practise I went to lunch, I only got a glass of orange juice because I wasn't too hungry. I sat down at the table with the basket ballers and cheerleaders. That boy was there again, He used to be friends with these losers that are friends with Eddie. He reminds me of me. Once a loser now popular. the dream life. The rest of the subjects were pretty boring until detention. I got seated next to Eddie, again. 'Hey princess' he said as I was sitting down. I just ignored him. No way I was talking to that loser. 'Don't ignore me y/l/n' 'HEY MUNSON, STOP TALKING' the teacher roared at him. It was hard to hold in my laughter. The teacher left for the bathroom and the freak wouldn't stop bothering me. I couldn't take it anymore and eventually I screamed 'WHAT IS IT' he began laughing. 'Doesn't take long to anger you, huh princess?' he continues to laugh. i rolled my eyes and he kept talking 'you know what they say y/n, once a freak, always a freak'. he smiled, he is charming I'll give him that. but he's a loser. I couldn't wait for detention to be over.

After detention ended I walked home again. I tried speeding ad to not run into Eddie again. But it was too late he was chasing after me 'y/l/n, you dropped this!' he screamed while catching up. I slowed down and put out my hand, he handed me a piece of paper and ran into his house. I began walking again and I opened the sheet of paper, it read "meet me at the woods near the lake at 7pm". I wasn't sure if I was going to go, but I had no other plans so what's the point. I might as well. I quickly jogged back home and got ready.
