I'm Not Like Her

Ch 2

Evelyn's POV

"...Lyn. Evelyn!" I jump and snort when I hear a voice.

"Who? Wha.." I say groggily.

"Sleeping in class again huh?" Mr. D scolds. "Care to tell us what you dreamt about?"

"Really?" I say sarcastically. Some kids laugh.

I blush as I hear someone mutter, "Not so quiet today huh."

"No, thats the third time you slept in my class today. Detention." He snaps. "Be quiet Zach."

"Well its not my fault that I had to do a ten page essay in three days," I mumble. Took me all night to even do four pages.

"Hm?"

"Nothing." Just get back to the lesson you old fart.

I sigh. Why do have to have history class first period?

"Evelyn. Read the third paragraph on this page."

I stand up and adjust my glasses. I stare at my closed book. I flip through it for moment.

"I'm lost."

Somehow I'm sitting in the office with the dramatic principal.

"Miss Winchester, I never knew you where like this. What has gotten into you all of a sudden?" Mrs. Brown asks.

Chocolate.

"You have really good grades, you're part of the top five! You even have outstanding behavior but today..." She has fake tears gushing out of her eyes and here hands are resting on her chest.

"Sorry. I was sleepy. When I'm sleepy I'm cranky." Got that.

"But really, you must get your act together. We don't need you acting like this when Project Mind comes to visit."

Screw Project Mind for all I care, I just want to sleep. Why do they even work for high schools now.

"Okay. I'll stay normal when they visit. Promise."

"Okay, You're free to go hun."

Finally. I get up and walk out.

Getting called out for something small. She barely gave me a lecture.

At lunch I pick out a sandwich, coke, and an apple. I sit at the back by myself.

"Oh my gosh Alexis! Really?" A blondie squeals a table over. I watch them with the corner of my eye.

"Uh um yes." A red head says blushing.

"Good thing you fell for a hottie!" A brunette slaps her back. "Todd's a lucky guy!"

Who's Todd...

"Vanessa! Shut up and OW!!" Alexis says.

"Oh To-odd!" The blondie cups her hands while she sing-calls.

"Blair stop it! Maybe I shouldn't have told you guys. Humph." Alexis crosses her arms over her chest. "I shouldn't be talking to you."

So thats how friends are like.

"Nuh-no-no. If you didn't talk to us we would turn out like her." Vanessa points at me and they all start giggling. "Its just that you have an interesting life."

I chew my food slowly.

"What a loner. She thinks shes special because her dad is the Chairman."
