Dear diary,

I was sleepless last night. It was almost one in the morning and it had almost been two pathetic hours of trying to fall asleep. So I did the most natural thing - lay on bed, lights out, only the phone's screen lighting up the room. I was reading a book online to pass my time. My phone vibrated. I got a text from Andrew.

A: You still awake at this hour?

S: Yep.

A: Go to sleep. We have three hours of Chemistry tomorrow.

S: idc. Falling asleep in his class wont make any difference to him.

A: True. Wish he could stop blabbering whatever random shit comes to his head...

S: What else does he know other than that. Nothing.

A: haha yeah. I gtg.

S: Sleepy?

A: No. I just gtg.

S: k gn

A: gn

Andrew is slightly insomniac. He has a hard time sleeping at times. We usually talk past 10, after homework is done. Tom hardly comes online, and talking to Robin is as good as talking to a rock. He never replies and when he does, it's confusing as shit.

I closed the chat and sighed. Today was a pain in the arse. The bitches and Andrew fought again after what happened in Chemistry class. I wasn't there, as some teacher called me for not submitting my project. He didn't say bye and went to his van. How weird.

My phone vibrated then and a very smiley girl popped up on screen. Veronica.

She texted me.

We haven't spoken before, both online and in school. In school, we speak slightly. Not much. But it was weird for her to text me at that hour. I opened the chat bubble.

[Bold is Veronica; Italics is Sebastian]

Hey

Hii

Sup?

Nm, reading a book. Wbu?

Nm writing.

You write?

Yeah.

K.

After a few minutes, she texts me again. I thought she'd get bored with me again.

You okay?

?

I mean, um, after those bitches attacked you.

You call them bitches too?

Yeah :P

I thought you were friends with them...

Well, I wouldn't call it friendship, but I can talk to them just fine. Doesn't mean I am a part of their "gang" or whatever.

Hmm.

Btw you fine?

Yeah... it's just, nevermind.

Listen if you need to rant shit out, you can do it here. I don't like them very much either.

Ok.

After a while, I decided to trust her. She fucking stood up for us that day. She's safe, I guess.

It's just... im not a womanizer. Im not a fuckboy. I haven't crushed on a lot of girls in my 15 years of existence... idk how the fuck they think im a fuckboy... :/

I don't think you're a fuckboy. You seem nice. Besides, how can you like anyone it this place haha.

Yeah.

They are literally bitches. They do nothing but bark, so chill. You're nice, and you shouldn't give a shit about what those fucktards think.

True. Thanks.

:)

You're welcome.

:)

I gtg, bye. Nice talking to you.

You too, bye.

I fell asleep after that but it was nice, knowing that Veronica reached out to make sure I was fine. Then I realized how stupid I was to not ask her why she stood up for us.

How do I even live with my stupid arse, oh god.
