Invisible

Chapter 19

Mackenzie's POV

I walk to the back table in the lunchroom, and sit down. This morning has been rough on not only me, but on Brandon too.

Every time someone called me names, or was laughing and staring at me he would stick up for me.

I just feel really bad because he shouldn't have to stick up for me. I'm my own person, and I don't like people giving me pity. That's why I don't let people in too easily. I don't know why I let Brandon in so easily, there's just something different about him. Something that leaves me wanting more. Sometimes I feel like he only talks to me and comforts me because he feels bad, but other times I feel that he may actually like me.

I saw Destiny walking towards our table. I feel bad because I haven't talked to her in a while, and I hope she will understand why. I just have a lot on my plate right now, but I know her, she will understand.

She sits down next to me and play's around with her food. It has never been this awkward between us before. We would always talk, laugh, and have a good time. But I don't really know what's going on, everything has just been so confusing lately. I'm not sure if I should say something or keep quiet, so I just stay quiet.

A couple minutes go by and I realize that Brandon isn't here. He always sits with us at lunch, where could he be? I look around and spot the brown haired boy sitting next to Hope. Now I'm not usually the jealous type, but right now I was furious. I couldn't really tell what was going on between them, but Brandon looked mad.

I've never seen Brandon look that mad before. It almost looked like he was going to punch her in the face. Which for the record I wouldn't mind, she deserved it.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, so I pull it out. I don't really go on that many social media sites because I think they're really stupid. I unlock my phone and see that I have a notification on Instagram. I looked at it and someone tagged me in a post saying...

Why would he hang out with that looser? Did anyone warn him of how much of a freak she is?

And the photo was of Brandon and I holding hands at the cafe. I look at who posted it, and it was Hope. Of course she would post that, she wants to ruin my life. Tears well up in my eyes not sad tears, but angry tears. Im angry at Hope for doing this, what did I even do to her?

I'm so sick of people treating me like crap, and if not treating me poorly than they don't acknowledge me.

I stand up abruptly, and I hear Destiny calling out my name and asking me if I'm okay. I ignore her and keep a steady pace, trying to get out of here as soon as possible.

On my way out of the cafeteria I hear footsteps behind me. I wipe under my eyes, I'm not going to cry because of some girl who's sick of her own life that she has to make mine miserable.

When I get to my locker, I open it and get all my stuff out to go home. I can't deal with school right now, I just have to be alone. I closed my locker and started to walk away, but someone stopped me by gripping onto my arm. They pulled me back, and I stumbled and fell into the persons chest.

When I looked up, I saw Brandon. He looked at me with his icy blue eyes, and for a second I saw complete sorrow, but I fell back into reality once I realized what just happened. I wiggled out of his grip, and started walking again.

"Mackenzie, just listen to me! Please." Brandon begged, running to catch up to me.

"No, Brandon, I want to be alone." I said sternly. I hear him sigh, and he pulled on his hair in frustration.

"Please don't shut me out." He begs. I really want to hug him, and tell him it's okay but it's not. It will never be okay. And I know that I'm taking my anger out on him when it wasn't really his fault, but I can't think right now I have a lot on my mind and its eating me alive.

"I can't deal with this right now. I'll text you later." I said, opening the door to the school and walking out.

"What about your parents?" He asked, following me out the school. I stop and turn around towards him, and look him straight in the eyes. I can still feel the tears running down my face, but I don't even care enough to wipe them away. I can see Brandon's eyes getting watery the more I stand there and look at him.

"I can handle it." I say, turning around and walking in the direction towards my house. As I walk further, and further away from the school, I don't hear him come after me. The tears sting as they run down my face. How can this happen? First my mom, then my dad, and now Brandon?

By now I wish I was invisible. I just don't understand why God hates me so much.
