Purple

Alone

My name is lily Curtis. I'm 17, and ever since my mother got remarried a month ago, I've been trying to unpack, and get ready for the school year. It starts in one week, and I am so nervous for a new school. I'm going to St. Kings high school.
I used to have friends, I was considered "popular" in my old school. I even had a boyfriend, his name is James, he has blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. And now we can only talk through a computer screen. He's coming to visit in August though. But that seems like forever away. So far I'm about halfway unpacked, and I need to buy new clothes for school.
I hope I'm not the kid that stands out like an apple in an orange crate.

It's my first day today, and I'm wearing
An olive green tee shirt, and a black skirt, with cute flowery patterned wedges. I don't wear makeup, because unfortunately I'm not gifted in that field. I kiss my mom goodbye and drive to school.
When I drive up to the school, I can already tell I will stick out. Every girl is wearing pants, and sneakers. I get out of my car, and "confidently" walk into the school, I feel 100 eyeballs staring at me.
When I manage to get to first period using my dorky map, I walk to a desk in the back. A pretty girl that looks Native American sits next to me. She smiles, and I awkwardly smile back. "Are you new hear? I've never seen you before. I'm Amanda!" She says. "Yeah, I moved here from Florida. I'm lily." I respond. We continue a short conversation. "What lunch do you have?" She asks, "uh...B lunch." I say, "what lunch do you have?" She smiles, and says all giddily, "omg, me too!" I smile. Then the teacher walks in. But right as the door closes, a tall kid bangs on the door. As the teacher lets him in, he shouts "Hey ladies! How was your summer?" He was making a fool of himself, and I rolled my eyes, but the other girls giggled. Oh god, I hope this day goes by fast, I think to myself.
After a few more classes, I walked to the cafeteria. In the line I'm next to the idiot from first period. He looks me up and down and says "Hey! Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?!" I blush and ignore him. "What's the matter, you don't wanna talk?" He says. Oh god I think, not only is he an idiot, but a dickhead. "Actually,I  have a boyfriend..." I say shyly. He stopped talking after that.
I get my food, and search for Amanda. I see her sitting by a bunch of girls, they look like the popular type. I'm used to sitting by them, I was them at my old school. I sit down, and start eating quietly. Something catches my eye, a flash of purple hair from across the cafeteria. I see a girl with purple hair, sitting by herself at the edge of the cafeteria. I examine her, she is wearing a low cut black tank top, ripped skinny jeans and big bulky boots. She has bracelets, a lot of bracelets, rings, and a snap back that says "MCR" in big bulky letters. "Who is that?" I say out loud, pointing to her. A blonde tall girl at the table says in a snarky voice, "Thats Alex, don't bother with her, she's a dyke." "What's a dyke?" I ask feeling stupid. She looks at me like I'm an alien. "She's a lesbian" saying the last word like it was a terrible word. "Oh..." I didn't say any thing for the rest of lunch, I just stared at her. She gave me a weird feeling inside.
