They continue chatting. I pull out my phone. I scroll through me and Billy's texts. I look at the photo of me sleeping on his shoulder. His face was extremely red. My face was relaxed, and I did look comfortable.

I save the photo. I type out a text and hit send.

Mr. Lone boy:
*sent attachment*
Who took this photo.

Billy's phone dings loudly. He checks it. He doesn't respond, he just slides his phone back in his pocket. "So, who texted you?" Robin asks. "Nobody," he responds. I look down.

...Am I just a nobody?

"Hey Finney," I look up and quietly ask. "Yea?" He responds. "Who took this photo," I ask and showed him the image. "Bruce," he replies. "Oh, okay," I smile up at him. He returns the smile and begins talking to Robin.

I stare down at the photo, a slight blush rising to my face. I sigh and shut my phone off.

After school, I walk home with everyone else. I quickly remove myself from the group. I wave bye to them and walk home.

When I get home I jump in the shower. I get out and change into a shirt and pants. I walk back to my room.

I look over at my razor. I mean... I could. I crave the pain on my wrist. I quickly grab the razor, pressing it against my skin. The warm liquid seeps from my arm.

I do this multiple times. I'm just a nobody after all. I put my razor down and rinse off my arm. I slide on a sweat shirt. I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket.
