There was something about Alexis' room that I really enjoyed. Maybe it was the fact that I could see her floor, but, no that was definitely it. It was also that I wasn't being pressured to clean it. Chey and Serena were already at Alexis' when I got there but they hadn't been waiting for too long. They all kept talking about random shit that happened on the trip, meanwhile the news of music boy was eating at my insides. I wanted to tell them about where I found him, what he was playing. Every detail of him was burned into my mind, and I was hoping they could shed some light on who the hell he was. I swear to god Serena never shut up.

"And then James went over to her and was like 'what the fuck is he talking about' and oh my god I-"

"Guys!"

They all stopped and looked at me like I was the rudest person in the world. Hopefully they would get over it once I told them.

"So I came across this boy at school..."

"Who who who?!" Chey interrupted me.

"I... I don't know?"

"How the fuck do you not know? We've been going to school with the same people since we were 6. Unless it was..." Alexis was deep in thought. She always took things extremely seriously and got excited way too easily.

"No like I swear I've never seen him before in my life, and I know all of the new kids, he's not new."

"What does he look like?" Serena was genuinely interested.

"Uhh, he was tall, probably over 6 feet, blonde hair, broad shoulders, skinny as a twig, really pretty blue eyes, white flip flops, and I found him singing and playing guitar in the janitor's hall." I made sure not to mention what he was wearing. If my suspicions were true, I definitely shouldn't go spreading it around.

"Oh!" Chey spoke up.

"What?" Alexis chimed in, already too excited.

"I think I know who you're talking about! He's in my history class... I think his name is Luke Charleston. Yeah, he sits at the back and hes always wearing a fricking sweater, and it's still fucking hot out. He's a weirdo, so it's probably cause he cuts him-" Everyone's eyes were on Chey except mine, which were staring at the floor. I tugged at the sleeve of my shirt and pulled it over my hand. "Fuck I'm really sorry that was extremely insensitive-"

"Don't worry about it." I looked up at her and gave her a half smile, I could have done better. I could feel my arm tingling under my sleeve and I wrapped my arms around myself, feeling very uncomfortable in my own skin. "Why don't we watch a movie?"

"Great idea! Any ideas which movie?" Alexis stood up and walked over to her DVD rack.

"Ermm, we could-"

"Let's watch Jackass." I interrupted Serena. "I need a laugh."

"Jackass it is!" I could tell they all felt bad, I hated that. I wish they wouldn't feel bad and treat me differently, it makes me feel even weirder, like even more of an outsider. Alexis put the movie in and I mindlessly laughed for a solid hour and a half.

***

"So tell us more about this mystery boy." Alexis tried to start up the conversation again. The movie had been over for a while and we had just gone downstairs to get a snack from the kitchen. I wasn't extremely hungry so I just got a juice, while the rest of them all popped themselves popcorn. They probably should have thought about that before the movie.
