Best Friends By Nicholas Ervin and Gabby Andruska

True Colors

When I stared at this girl that was in my class I saw that she was always drawing.I went over to her table and said to her "Hi, whatcha doing"? She looked up and said, Just go away I'm busy". So I felt hurt but, I'm used to it so I shrugged it off and walked Away few days later like Thursday or something like that I decided to approach the girl again. I poked her a few times and she did not answer.Like an idiot, I poked her a few too many times and she looked me in the eyes and said in a deadly voice "What do you want....."? I got shy and walked away again.Just before I walked out of hearing range I heard her say "What.....a....jerk...". And I felt so bad and I can't do anything about it.
     I walked into the lunchroom and saw all these open spots and guess on what spot I should go for.Usually, I'm the first few people getting food.So I picked the first table near the cooking area and I saw a couple people "like me"
Sitting down at my table.I just fought and fought the urge to get up and find an empty table....but, I didn't.

    One by one these people sat at my table.Kyle,Emily,lupita,Nic,Justin,Hunter,Daniel,Alison,Alicia,and.....Gabby.Gabby came out with her food and just sat right next to me like I did not exist.I knew I had to say something but,the Mexican girl said "Hey you what's your name" to me."I-I'm Nick..."."Oh hey Nick! "I'm lupita and this guy here is Nic that crazy guy there is Kyle and the GirlFriend next to Kyle is Emily". Kyle get kinda mad with Emily and yelled "Lupita!!!Shut up and stop shipping us"! Lupita goes on ignoring them acting like she did not hear them. "The big guy is Hunter and the nerd is Justin". I just thought to my self (Hey....this is gonna be fun).

    By this time Lupita and I were pretty good mates and I was really close to sam a little too close to him. So I would off and on sit with both tables but something about Nick seemed different and annoying at first. I don't know why I was so annoyed by him he just seemed like a Lad that would be an arsehole at first. I was then proven wrong when I realized he just wanted to be friends with me. I just kept drawing and talking to Lupita as I saw the nameless boy next to me He seemed closed off and shy but also I thought he was a jerk from when he poked me a thousand times.

     He looked at me and I thought he liked me. This annoyed me because all I cared about was horses and I liked "SAM" I was a very confused kid. I also didn't know because I also liked a lass at my old school but I compressed my homosexual feelings for her and pursued Sam thinking I liked him. So when Nick seemed to be what I thought was hitting on me I wasn't having it even though he wasn't he was just trying to be friendly. This would go on for weeks where he'd follow me and stare at me poke me and try everything! I just kept thinking WHY WHY DOES HE LIKE ME? Later on, I started talking more to sam this boy suddenly stopped talking to me stopped poking me stopped everything. I thought hm that's weird maybe it's sam, In a way, this sparked my curiosity but being the jerk I was
I ignored it and kept going with sam.
