Ariella moves to a new school, dreading having to make new friends and the whole idea of leaving her old ones.

Y'know, I always underestimate Audrey's gut feeling for things and it always ends up slapping me right in the face.
Like today, after contemplating and more contemplating, I decide to go out with my friends at the mall.
Bad. Freaking. Idea.
I arrive at the restaurant and find the booth they're sitting at. They are too busy in a conversation to notice I'm standing right in front of them so I greet, "Hey guys!
To my utmost confusion, they all fall silent as they give each other side glances after finally seeing me.
My stomach falls, if that's even possible.
Something feels wrong.
You know, if a table falls silent just when you sit down, they were talking about you.
"Oh. Hi, Ari." They all say, one after the other, giving me a strained smile.
I sit on the seat next to Janice, giving her a small smile, happy to see her after such a long time.
To my relief, the conversation flows through with no tension at all.
The conversation that I am not included in.
I have no idea what they're laughing about as Leila complains about their new Math teacher, while contrary to my normal self, I stay silent and listen.
The teacher topic lasts for only a few minutes and then the topic of guys gets brought up.
And to my misery, it goes on for quite a long time. I try to talk about my school life or how many assignments I have or anything, anything at all- and they just nod absent-mindedly.
Okay, maybe I'm boring but can they please talk about something else?
If we're all girls just having a good time - kinda - why do we have to bring up the males we're trying to get a break from?
"Yes. Liam and the way he plays basketball," Nailea breathes.
Irritation flares through me, since when did they become so... So boy crazy?
I snap, "Don't you all have any better topic to talk about, than talking about guys all the time?"
I know that it's not about me and I know that it's not my place to be mad at them for not having any interest in my life- they really don't have to, but I mean, they see each other everyday- they know what's going on in each other's lives.
It seems that I'm the only one that's stuck. Stuck in the same place I was when I had left. Everybody moved on.
It hurts even more when I realize that they weren't even the ones who added me to the group chat.
