It's a Monday afternoon and we are out here still at school. I'm just on the bench doing my English homework while Mathew helps me. These past two days were so calm. It was nothing much. I even had the chance to take some naps. Now I'm at the school, doing homework.

I do not want to do this but I have no choice because I was lazy to do it. I really don't want to do it and I'm doing this last minute. I know I could get this done but maybe overnight. It was an essay I had to write on a laptop. It was due tomorrow and about seven pages including a reference page. What is it about? About a book, we read a long time ago.

The Odyssey.

Look it's not a bad book. I just don't want to do a book report or anything about it. I like to read in my free time for fun, not to do extra stuff, and think it's great to use to learn. It is just a book and let me read it. That's it. I hate how they give assignments for me to read it. I want to read it of my own will.

Mathew is here helping me write it up since I have forgotten much about the book. He's given me his past notes to find anything to put in my report. This was boring and it sucked. I hated doing this and I just want to sleep instead.

"Sally pay attention!"I groaned and looked at the screen.

I rubbed my eyes annoyed and slump my back. My back hurts so bad and my body felt stiff. I felt like I was hanging upside down the whole time. I continued to read through the notes as I felt his stare. It was like a hawk. It bothered me too much as well.

"Matt! Hi!"I heard and turned my head to the right to see Courtney.

What's she doing here? How did she know we were still here? That's very odd. She even wore an outfit and looked like she was going to go somewhere fancy. I mean who cared what people wear at school but usually comfortable clothes? Right? I could be wrong though. Maybe something was going on at school I don't know about it.

Maybe I am second guessing and she would tell us. Who knows. Am I thinking too much so I can ignore my homework? Yes. Is it working? Yes.

"Don't call me that,"Mathew said and I rolled my eyes turning my head back to his notes.

"Why not? Matt, you used to love that."She said and I raised an eyebrow.

Mathew used to like being called Matt? Interesting. The more I ignore my homework, the more I pretend to care about what people say about others. Well, maybe more interested in people's lives.

"Yeah stop that. You never call me that."Mathew said sounding weird. "And what are you doing here?"

"Just hanging out with my friends here. Sally invited me."I paused and looked up at her.

Since when did I invite someone? I invited Luna but that's it. No one else was invited. Mathew looked at me confused and I look to see Courtney glaring at me. At the corner of my eye, Mathew turned his head and she was smiling again. It's that again, isn't it? I can't deal with this.

"Uh...I forgot. Sorry."I said and looked back at Mathew's laptop.

Why is it always me? Why can't it just never happen at all? Why do people hate me so much? I haven't done anything to them at all. I look to see that I found a quote and started typing it. I just continued to do my work as I heard them talking. It seemed like they were having fun.  I suppose so.

"Sally put the comma here,"Mathew told him and pointed to the screen. "And here."

"Okay."

"Hey don't ignore me. Aren't you going to come over tonight?"Courtney asked and he sighed.
