Living in a small town isn't always the best when it comes to rumors they spread quicker than a deadly disease.
I walk in the hallway toward my locker, seeing the same people like every other day. There were all kind of type of teens that went to this school. There was the "popular kids" which were mostly football ballers, cheerleaders, or the kids that were considered cool to be popular. Well there was also the smart/nerdy kids. Not only were the popular girls sometimes bitches, but there were was a group that was considered to be the straight up bitch group. There was also the weird kids, that you just don't know how else to describe them, but just weird. What seemed to be the last kind of people in this school was the normal people, the people that were whatever, they were just normal people, they weren't nothing else but normal.
But what am I? I'm a normal girl, who's sometimes shy, but sometimes also a bitch. But from what I have seem to notice is that I'm known as a girl who is quiet, and is not known by many people. Maybe not even half of the school knows me. But it's whatever.
I get to my locker, and open it putting in my Spanish book inside. I close the locker and turn around to walk out of the hallway to the patio. As I'm walking to the door I look over at the popular kids and see a few of them looking back at me, I slightly smile, and keep walking. Passing a two groups who are all about smoking weed, and getting high. Can't forget about them, I guess there were also groups all about getting high and all that shit. Just after them stands my group of friends.
My group concedes of three other people, me being the fourth. There is Kacey my best friend, Ella my other best friend, and Martha my friend. As I get to them I start to hear their conversation, but there really isn't a point because I'm going to be lost, and not know what they are talking about.
As we are about to start a new conversation the bell rings. Wow. We start a conversation as we head to class. 'dude guess who hit me up last night?" Kacey asked. Kacey was the kind of person that would get hit up by many guys. She considered herself a hoe. We call her one once in a while, but only be missing around with her. It was all a joke and we all knew it. 'who' I asked 'Nathan, it's like the 4th time he does this. And I'm like no, just no.'
We get to our class and wait outside. Ella and I had the same class, but Kacey had the class next door. It was English but different levels. Anyways we stood outside waiting a few minutes before heading in, less time the better right? As we stood there I looked around, and saw many familiar faces. Especially him. 'Natalie?'
'what?' I asked paying attention to my friends. 'never mind we have to go' Kacey said. We walk away and go to our classes.
English the one subject I didn't really like, I didn't like this class. There were many of the popular kids in there. Even though they were in the same grade as me, it didn't help. The whole period I keep checking my phone for the time, counting down the minutes. I was always nervous or scared in this class, I never wanted to be picked at anything being afraid I would fuck up and embarrass myself. If there was a class I like was history which was 2nd period. History was not my favorite subject, but it was the class I liked. I really don't have a favorite subject, it's all whatever.

The bell rings dismissing us to lunch. The four of us walk out of class and head to our lockers. I open it and grab my Spanish book, I close it and turn around to face my friends. When I see him again walking with his group of friends. We maybe look at each other for a second and I look away. We then start walking to the table we usually always sit, which was located close to the back of the school. It was located outside the last wing of classes. We sit on the table and just get on our phones. That how we usually spend our lunch, about 20 minutes on our phones and the rest talking.
'Did you guys hear about the party?' Ella asked. 'Yeah' we all respond. 'Are we going?' Kacey asked. 'I can't' I respond the thing was that I could go but I didn't want to go. 'Really Natalie you never want to go' Kacey says.
I was about to respond but was interrupted by Ella boyfriend Jay. 'Hey' he greets coming from behind Ella hugging her. 'Ugh get off' she shrugs him off. I smile at them and how their relationship works. Ella and Jay were the opposite they were nothing alike. Ella wasn't the kind to be all lovely dolly and be all into the relationship. Jay on the other hand was all in love with her head over heels. Don't get me wrong so is Ella but she didn't really like showing it off.
'Are you guys going to the party?' He asks sitting next to her. 'We want to but Natalie doesn't' Ella responds. 'Why not?' He asks me.
I look up and they are both looking at me. 'I don't know, I'll see'
