"book nerd" "weirdo"

shirts

[ by the way can we just imagine Blane to look some what like Slash from Guns n Roses? except he wears sweaters and jeans, kinda emo lol and obviously no giant top hat but besides that, that's what he looks like please, and yes he has the curly hair blocking his eyes, the main reason I'd like him to look like slash]

It was lunch time now. I hate the cafeteria, its so awkward having to sit by myself and act like no one is staring, but I don't blame them, how can they not I mean I'd probably stare too. I grabbed a small water and what ever the lunch lady was serving, then grabbed a plastic wrapped bologna sandwich and went to my usual spot where no one sits. As I sit down I start eating, ignoring the whispers that bullies would give me as they walk by calling me "emo" or "loner" but I was used to it. All that occurred when school started, during the summer I changed my look and no one recognised me, assuming I am rude.

"hey it's you! can I eat with you?" I heard a familiar voice say, I turned to my right looking up through my hair, it's Charlie again. "k" was all that came out, I didn't mean it to sound rude, I'm just tired of her showing up everywhere. But I didn't mind not sitting alone, usually I'd let new kids sit with me, or at least before they found a "friend group" and forgot about me and my generosity, to which many of those kids listened to their fake friends and became one of the many that bullied me.

"thank you" was all she said and sat down in front of me. "why are you sitting with me?" I said since I knew she probably had other friends, "you seem interesting and different from other guys" Charlie said. "so you're here to study me from a distance like a bug under a microscope? Because surely you're not looking to become friends" I said annoyed that she said I was different, I know I'm unusual and look different from everyone else but why do you gotta take interest from how I look?

"no I didn't mean you look weird, I think your cool and seem nice" she said. I was kind of flattered but I didn't like it, "you're lying" I quietly said, not wanting to except that she complimented me. "I'm rude and will most definitly end up ignoring you or something" I say trying to push her out of her thought of me being cool. She rolled her eyes and said "well I'll just have to wait and see weirdo" she said before pulling out a book, the same one she was reading in class, "book nerd" I say offended that she called me weirdo. She just laughed and flipped me the bird, to which I did the same slightly grinning but trying to hide it, after that I continued eating.

I took a mental note that she wasn't eating. I pushed it off though.

[after classes]

Finally the day is over, I can rest. I think while walking out of school tired. "hey! Where do you think you're going without me?" I hear someone say. I turn around already knowing it's Charlie, "what do you mean?" I say grunting "I am your friend remember? Friends hang out after school, so I was thinking we could go to TJ max!" Charlie states happily, already knowing what she's doing. "fine, but what for?" I say annoyed, Charlie walks towards me throwing her arm over my shoulder and making us walk together. "for shirts! Their having a 50% off sale for band shirts and last time I went there I saw some Nirvana shirts, besides I wanna get some paramore shirts too" she says as we walk towards to what I'm guessing is her car, "ok" I say, kind of excited even though I'm tired.
