"I WANT TO FIND YOU IN A CROWD, JUST TO HIDE FROM YOU"

-TAYLOR SWIFT, 'SO HIGH SCHOOL'

 "So let me introduce you to the table," she says pointing to an Indian girl eating mac'n'cheese, "There's Aanya," 

 "Wassup b!tch!" she says waving at me. I wave back awkwardly.

 "And Kenny," she continues as she points to a fat kid who looks distinctly like 'Dudley Dursley' from 'Harry Potter'.

"How you doin'?" he says, and all I can think is 'This kid talks like a hood rat'.

 "Everyone this is Briar Rose, shes new." Evangiline. 

 "Wait! You're the people keep talking about!" Aanya practically yelled across the room. Everyone stops talking and looks at her. "What! It's none of your business go back to talking about having s3x or something, God!" 

 I try to stop myself, but I cant help my mind to wondering what she meant. "Wait, what? People are talking about me?" I ask in a concerned voice,

 "OH its nothing bad. Really. Theyre just saying you sat with fancy pants Manchester on the bus," Aanya answers matter-of-factly.

 "Wait who's Manchester, and who'd name their kid that?" I say looking for the kid I met earlier. He catches my eye and I look away.

 "Wait you don't know who he is? And you sat in his seat?" Aanya says looking bewildered as if I've just said something blasphemous.

 "Yeah, I'm new if you haven't realized this." I answer back about as dry as the Saharan Dessert.

 "Well, he's the star of the baseball team, the hottest boy in school and his dad has about 6.5 MILLION dollars." 

 I cough, " MILLION? You have to be kidding me. I couldn't of been rude to the most popular boy in school?"

 "Well lucky for you, Connelly isn't the one you need to worry about, its Valerie and Natalie." 

 "Who are they?" I ask.

 Kenny finally tears himself away from his food, "They're basically the Plastics of Hazelwood High."

 "Oh. Oh crap, I really don't want anyone to make a big fuss over me." 

 "Well," Evangiline says in a warning voice, "You might wanna stay as far away from Connelly as you can."


 "What class do you have next?" Evangiline ask as we walk out of lunch. 

 "Um let me check," I say, pulling my schedule out of my bag, "Chemistry in room 804." 

 "Oh sh!t, thats in a whole different building." 

 "Well, we better get moving." I say as I brace myself for the running about to take place.

 God, I hate running!

 We finally make it to the 8th building. 

 "Wait, aren't you gonna be late for your next class?" 

 "Nah, I have gym," 

 "Well doesn't that mean you're gonna get in trouble for tardiness?" I say looking everywhere but in her eyes. Common eyes! FOCUS! 

"Yeah well thing is I broke my toe in gym because someone dropped a weight on it so Coach Diggs said I didnt have to participate in class," 

 "Ah I see lucky you enjoy the sweet sweet freedom from gym."

 "Thanks beach, enjoy class. TAH-TAH for now," she says walking away then she stops to add, "OH and don't frustrate MR. Mills, he gets super flustered easily because he has Aspergers." 

 "Oh OK I forgot people with autism are super sensitive. Bye!" I lie as I wave to her.

 I walk into class and take my seat at desk number 11. 

 "He- wait Kim Possible, my old friend, you're my lab partner?" HE says setting down his bag.  

 "Yeah I gu- wait 'Kim Possible'? What does that mean?" I ask turning my head to the side like dogs do.

 "Well it means I didn't know your name so I called you by a random nickname. And since you were wearing a black t-shirt and army green cargo pants it made me think of 'Kim Possible', not that you look like her, by the way." he says and then as if he remembers something random sticks out his hand for me to shake it. Ugh more uncalled for physical touch. "I'm Connelly Gray Manchester, and you Mystery Girl are?" 

 "Briar Rose Grambs, and I also have 2 first names," I say, forcing a laugh.

 "No sh!t man no sh!t. Well I'm gonna warn you now that I suck at chemistry so I hope you're a whole h3ll of a lot better than I am." He glares at the board and sighs, "Ugh theres a text today but at least its a partners quiz, last week I didn't have a partner because you didn't show up." 

 "Class, Class quite down. Time for a quiz."
