Just Another Reject

Chapter 3- Bad luck?

   As much as I miss my friends from Texas, it seems a lot more peaceful here without them screaming down my ears every 5 seconds. But I would prefer them to be here with me instead of being all the way across the world from me. It's been about at least a week since I moved here, and it seems like I've already made enemies with the whole school. I don't know which group I belong in and it all seems so confusing.

   The process of elimination sort of helped me narrow down my options. I already crossed off so many groups that I've tried countlessly to fit into. I'm not as smart as the nerds and all they talk about is grades, so that's boring. Obviously I don't belong in the popular crowd because I'm not suitable and I prefer people NOT looking at me every time I do something. There were already multiple groups that I have crossed off my list. 

   It doesn't really leave me with much to choose from. In high school you gotta find where you belong or you can be a lone wolf. So far I am the lone wolf, I don't mind it, but I would prefer to have friends to look forward to everyday. Though that is almost near impossible considering a certain band has turned many people against me already. I've been having a tough decision until Calum (vocalist and bass guitarist), Ashton (vocalist and drummer), Luke (lead guitar and vocalist), and Michael (vocalist and guitar) bumped into me with their instruments in their hands.

   It seemed like they just got back from practicing because they looked exhausted and drained. "What are you looking at reject? Move out of the way!" Calum spat at me with an annoyed look. "Someone took an overdose of douchebag pills today." I murmured to myself as I walk past them. My comment caused Luke to start laughing so hard that he dropped his water bottle to the floor. "What's so funny Luke? Did you have something better to say to this piece of trash right here?" Calum was starring at Luke like he was expecting something to come out of his now shut mouth.

   "Nah, just heard something funny mate, you should calm down a little, you've been kind of acting like a jerk since she got to this school." Luke put an arm around me and sent me a wink. Was he trying to flirt with me in front of his friends at THIS moment?! "YOU should calm down because obviously you're in over your head and not paying attention to this wannabe in the shadows! Get your arm off of it or you'll catch a disease!" With that Calum pulled Luke away from me and angrily stormed off.

   What exactly did I do to him and his friends to make him act this way? Only God would know what goes on in these boys' minds. After that little "scene" I walked off to my next class, the rest of the day was filled with everyone ignoring me because of Calum's gang. Maybe they're right, because of them I'm nothing but an outcast reject. As the day went on I was still questioning what I did to make them hate me so much, especially Calum. Did I like do something that I don't remember doing? I have no idea.

   This has been bothering me for the week that I've been here, but as someone once told me, I should just ignore it and look to the bright side of things. Once I got home from school my mom was still at work and my brother was staying after school. I was starving so I opened the fridge to find something decent for me to eat. As always, there was nothing since my mom is usually always out of the house majority of the time I would have to whip up something for me to eat. 

   I don't blame her for not being here majority of the time. A single mom working hard to support two kids is tough. As I was taking the things out to make ramen noodles, I heard the door bell ring. That must be my brother. "Jason, you're home ear-" I paused and looked up in shock at the person in front of me. How? Was all that was running through my mind when I saw him.

   "Miss me? I told you that I would come back for you some day." Darwin is at my door, how in the world did he even find me? Let me explain what's going on. Darwin is a cute, tall, and cunning person. We used to be best friends way back then until we found out that we liked each other. So we tried to be together, and it was good in the beginning. Until he started to become abusive with me because I wouldn't give him any sexual pleasures. He would result to beating me all the time and played it off in public like nothing happens.
