The differences between me and you

Back to school

It's the first day back and I've had a lot of time to think about what had happened on the last day of school. I've realised that I don't want to be who people think i should be and base my friends around that. No! I want to speak to who I want and be who I want to be.

But when I got back to school I realised I would lose everything if I told people what I really thought.

I was stuck wearing a hideous mask. A mask I never wanted to be seen wearing!

My "bestfriend" Harry texted me in maths.

Meet me at the courts after?

I really didn't want to but i knew i had to cling onto this mask if I didn't want to be humiliated by my friends. So I texted back

Yeah sure. Who's gonna be there?

Only me and Michelle! You're in! dude, she's practically already your girlfriend!! ;)

Whatever, but you know I don't like her right?

Seriously?! She's fittt!!!!

Whatever, see you in ten. My class is nearly done.

Ok bro.

I put my phone away. Just in time because miss Marshall was walking my way. I don't think she saw. I hope not. She stopped by my desk and asked me to go outside to talk to her. I was reluctant but I did.
I was going to be in so much trouble. I bet she saw me in my phone.

She didn't actually want to talk about me being on my phone (even though she did see me on it) she wanted to talk about my parents. I guess it was nice of her to ask if I was ok and stuff, but I wish people would stop asking me about it because it just makes me feel worse. You know?

The lesson finished and I walked through the crowds to get to the courts. Michelle was waiting for me and Harry was nowhere to be seen. This was not happening. AGAIN!  He did this before last year and Michelle got the wrong idea. Just like she probably has now.

"Hey Jake"
"Oh, hi Michelle" I felt so awkward.
"Harry told me that you wanted to talk to me, only I don't understand why you would want to be alone... Well I have one idea... That's the one I'm hoping it is."
"Harry told me that he would be here, he was the one that wanted me to meet him here."
"Well why don't we do something while we wait?" She laughed
" I'm ok thanks"
She pulled a sad face and said
" Why do you look so worried? I thought you knew you were meeting me here?!" She flicked her hair off of her shoulder and leaned in to kiss me. I stepped backwards nervously and quickly thought of something to say to stop her, I managed to get an excuse out before anything happened I said

" shouldn't we get to class? I need to go to class!"
And I walked as fast as I could trying not to make it too obvious that I was trying to get away from her.

"No come back!"
She shouted like a spoilt child. She is so annoying.

And then I went to class. The rest of the day was boring. I couldn't find Harry all day so I had to try and find him the next day.
