A short one but hope you like it.

The next day, Ian dragged me to his table with all his big, fat friends. I was not excited seeing that I was now to be included on what seemed like the "popular" group.
"Guys, Aidan's going to be hanging around with us now," Ian introduced me to his friends.
After a little bit of whispering, his friends grabbed me towards the table, pounding me in the back and punching in the arm. I thought I was attacking me for a second, wanting to run away and hide. Then I realize that it was this way of saying, "Welcome to hell!" How exciting.
The only thing that pulled me through was the familiar face. Rain walked towards the table, locking eyes with me. A huge grin spread across her face.
"Rain!" Ian called out, greeting her.
"Aiden!" She greeted me, completely ignoring her boyfriend.
She places an arm around my shoulders as is we had become friends a long time ago. She looked at Ian, still smiling like a cute goofball.
"So glad you decided to become friends," she said as she squeezed her way between us.
As I tried to eat my lunch, people bombarded me with questions. All I did was nod and smile, not really sure what they wanted as an answer. However, they seemed to have given up by the end of the lunch period. Still feeling like the oddball out, I entertained myself by watching a stupid fly land in my almost empty cup if root beer and drowned itself. Flies are idjits.
When Ian kissed Rain goodbye, my stomach fell to my feet. Leaving the table, I spotted Minks glaring at me from afar. Little did I know it was only the start to the torture.
