They say that highschool is supposed to be the best years of your life. Well try telling that to a girl who is sitting alone eating her lunch in a bathroom stall because she embarrassed and doesn't want anyone to see her crying.

Have you ever felt what it's like being rejected? Because it sucks. It makes you just want to curl up into a ball in the corner of the room and just disappear. Make like nothing else in the world exists except for you and your uneasiness.

"(Y/N)?" I hear a soft female voice call my name, entering the bathroom. The stall door, which I forgot to lock, swings open then shuts again. A body slid down beside mine. Only my small sobs were audible in the empty room.

I didn't have to look up. I knew it was Sofia, Vernon's sister.

Vernon...

"Do you wanna talk about it?" She tilts her head in front of me, forcing me to look at her. I sit up staright, and take a deep breath, ready to share the ridiculous events of this afternoon.

Fixing my school uniform, I take the books I needed in my locker, and slam it shut. Anticipating what I was about to get myself into, I confidently walk into the cafeteria. Waving to my best friend, Jungkook, he gave me a thumbs up I go to where I usually. Right next to Vernon and across from Sofia with the rest of their friends.

"Hey, there you are," Vernon smiles down at me, making my heart melt. Even though he was a couple years older than me, he was always kind enough to hang out with me. Especially since I was friends with Sofia, who didn't seem to be at the table yet.

"Hi! Um... Vernon?" I glances up at him, and looked at me expectantly. "Could we, uh, talk in private?" The boys all snicker, and I'm sjre to glare at them all as they did so.

"Y-yeah. Of course." I follow Vernon to the door leading out of the cafeteria until we were a good distance from any tables. "What's up?" he casually smirks like there was nothing unisual about the situation.

"Listen, Vernon... I've been meaning to say this for a while. I know it's a bit embarrassing but-"

I'm cut off by Vernon's obnoxious laughter. I stare at him in disbelief. "You had me going there for a second." My face remains unchanged, and the smile slowly drains from his usually happy face. "Wait, you're serious?"

"Vernon I like you, okay! I can't handle you not knowing anymore!" I snap, unable to grasp the fact that he laughed in my face.

"I-I'm sorry (Y/N). I had no idea,"
he trails off.

"Well, do you like me back?" I state, impatient for an answer.

"I'm sorry but we're just friends. I would never like you in that way. We're friends. That's it," he stops right there, not letting me add in another word. Why did he act that way when he told me that? And he's just going to leave me here?

I let out a loud sob before quicky turning away, sprinting for the bathroom ingorning anyone who yelled my name.

"I'm going to kill him when I get home," Sofia says through clenched teeth. I put my head in my knees and begin sobbing again.

"I'm such an idiot," I say between sobs. "Why would he ever like me anyway?"
