The Stars

Chapter 3

I walked to school, because, in a way, it shows independence but mostly, a very stupid kind of bravery.

I don't even know the name of my school, but since its already a month in the year, I have more to worry about.

I barely have one foot in the door when it all starts, prissy girls all start whispering and they pick every little thing that they can get out of how I look and use it too make them selves look better

Jock guys start assessing how easy I would be to get into bed.

Nerds judge how I look and deem me as another bully, or someone who will always want their help.

Band people ignore me, because I don't carry an instrument, and all the other artsy people ignore me as well, because I don't look like I have what I need to be like them.

Only the emos bother giving me any attention. But they aren't looking for a friend. They are looking for another person to hate the world with. Not someone who hates their self.

All in all, I don't belong in this place, but I don't belong anywhere.

I go to the office and grab a map. I might as well know where I am going.

Luckily, my schedule came in the mail, and I don't have to go to the office and wait for someone to realize who I am and to give it too me.

Seems easy enough. At least to me.

Since I don't talk, I have a lot of time to study that everybody else would spend with friends or on a date or even with family.

I spend all my time locked in books.

I guess that's a good thing. I can get a job one day as someone who only does work behind a screen and who never has to talk.

A doctor who just writes the illness on a white board, and spends all her time in the office solving cases..

Probably not, but a girl can dream.

Walking through these hallways, I feel small. Like I am unimportant to everyone around me, and not a single person cares.
