Upon arriving at school, I could't help but notice how almost everyone kept glancing at me. Not to sound cocky, but unlike all the girls in books, I know that I'm gorgeous, its the twenty-first century people! Im not stupidly oblivious to how I look.

Anyways, people starring at me is normal but today however, I had a feeling that me being attractive wasn't why people were starring at me. I felt left out, like everyone had a secret that I wasn't included in.

I decided to just ignore the stares and continued on my way towards my locker. When I finally arrived at my locker I was surprised to find an unrecognizable guy leaning against it. I cautiously approached him (Stranger danger is real) and stood infront of him with an eyebrow raised. He stared back at me for about five seconds before clearing his throat and straightened up from his leaning position.

"Umm hi Aurora.... How are you?" He awkwardly said while sratching his chin.

I furrowed my eyebrows and gave him a once over. Who was this weirdo and how did he know my name? He was lanky which was good just incase I needed to use my ninja skills, you get me?

"Who are you? And how do you know my name you weird stalker?" I kept giving him my mean face even after I noticed that my words had hurt him by the way his shoulders slumped. This isn't a pity party, you tell me who you are and accept my insults.

"My name is Paul and I'm in your biology class" He smiled and extended his hand for a handshake.

"Oh, well that changes everything. Hi, I'm Aurora" I grinned widely while shaking his hand.

He chuckled, "Yea I know. Well I came here to ask if you wanted to hang out sometime. You seem really cool and stuff."

Yes! New friends. Ha, suck on an apple Derek, I do have friends.

"Yes! I actually have an extra concert ticket for the Chainsmokers that I was going to re-sell because nobody wanted to go with me but now I have you" I stated excitedly while bouncing on my feet.

He nodded and gave me his phone number to text him the details. The bell for first period rang so I quickly got my books from my locker and hugged him,
ignoring how he blushed and ran off to class.

"Have you heard?" Abel asked while setting his luch tray in the seat infront of me.

I put my bitten sandwich down and shook my head.

"Well little miss-oblivious, Paul apparently has a crush on you" He said while trying to get my sandwich (To which I slapped him for)

I choked on my sandwhich so bad that Abel started flailing his arms around in hopes that someone would help me; ofcourse this being highschool *eye roll* everyone ignored us and continued with their pathetic conversations.

Abel started pounding his fist in my back while squishing my cheeks and singing, " You will survive".

Is this how I'm going to die? In a cafeteria filled with people I dislike? Yes brother and friends, you are included.

After what felt like an hour I finally swallowed the stuck ham that wanted me to die and was able to breath again.

"Man, we make a great team Abel! We have saved each other's lives and its only the second day of knowing each other" Abel and I high-fived and smiled.

"So how do you know Paul likes me?"

"He told his friend and that friend told his other friend and next thing you know the whole school found out, which is why I'm surprised that you didn't know" Abel raised his eyebrows.

"Don't blame me" I shrugged while drinking coke.

"That doesn't even make sense! Who else is there to blame of you being oblivious" He exclaimed.

"Well I can assure you nothing will happen because he just became my new friend this morning" I told him and confidently nodded.

"Ouch, you friend-zoned him already?" Abel stated while placing a hand on his chest.

"Well how was I suppose to know he had a crush on me?" I tried to reasson.

" Whatever, lets stop talking about that. So, how has your day been?" Abel asked.

"Its highschool so, meh."  I shrugged.

And that's how we spent the rest of lunch period, just talking and eating. Mostly eating.
