{ 3. Why Are They Talking To Me? }

I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?

I make my way towards the bathroom, where I'm planning to spend my entire lunch period, away from everyone.

"Robyn!" I hear someone call my name. I turn around to see Austin running towards me. I look around for an escape but there's no chance. He will be able to catch me. 

"Where are you going?" he asks when he finally reaches me. 

"Bathroom" I mumble a response. 

He nods, "Okay, I'll wait for you here, then we can eat lunch with me and my friends." I look at him. There's no way that I'm going to be sitting with Willow and Ariane for 25 minutes. Is he serious right now? I haven't talked to these girls in months. 

He stared at me, waiting for me to go use the bathroom. I walk into in and lock myself in a stall. There is no way that I can get out of this. He's going to wait for me and I don't want him to skip lunch just because I feel uncomfortable. 

I get out  and look at myself in the mirror. Why does he even attempt to be friends with me? I'm a fucking hurricane. 

I walk out of the bathroom and see Austin on his phone. He looks up and sends me a smile. "Ready to go?"

I just give him a small nod and we make our way to the cafeteria. See, if this was me my sophomore year, I would be freaking out right now. My heart would pick up speed and my cheeks would heat up. I used to have a huge crush on Austin back then, but we weren't even friends, and I was dating Tyler. Maybe if I was with Austin instead, I wouldn't have crashed so hard.

"Hi Robyn...." Willow said when I sat down.

I swallowed hard but managed to give a wave back. She looked uncomfortable, and I don't blame her. I was feeling the same thing. 

"How have you been?" Ariane asked me, causing the awkwardness to grow.

"Uh...." 

"That was such a dumb question" Austin answered for me. 

"Sorry..." she looked away. 

From then on it was only Willow and Austin who tried to spark up a  conversation, but I just drifted into my own world. I didn't know why they were suddenly so interested in me. Neither of them has even tried to contact me while I wasn't at school.

Oh wait, I do know why they're being so nice, guilt and pity.
