Anxiety vs normal

"So.. where you from" the cute boy asks as i sit on his bed. They all follow and make a circle
"LA. And you don't look like your from here so where are you from" I eye him
"LA too. Cmon your too country for la."
"Well, originally I'm from Arkansas but where I lived wasn't really what you'd call country. I'm from the north side. I moved to la when I just turned 16"
"Hmm.Your different" he looks all over my face like he's trying to figure me out. I look at my cousin while he just looks confused at his friend
"Yeah ok..."I mumble "what's your name pretty boy"
"Joey. And let me guess your the famous bre these boys can't stop talking about?" He asks but I just nod "I saw you yesterday your the only one to ever stick up to Andrea and it was just for a nerd why?" I roll my eyes and look at my cousin again as he looks any where but me
"She's a nice girl who doesn't deserve to be called a nerd" I hiss
"Well she's lonely, teachers pet, and knows about everything. So yeah I'd say she's a nerd" he shrugs
"Maybe if people look past all those facts then she wouldn't be lonely" I stand up "what do you think of me?" I ask as we stand face to face
"A beautiful but broken girl. This bad act you put on is to cover up how broken you really are. Deep down you are insecure and you've been through somethings. You used to be her. Your smart but the difference is you want to be lonely. You want to push people away so they won't figure out the truth." He stops and looks at Alex's wide eyes then back to mine "Alex knows what's wrong with you doesn't he? He knows the secret your hiding. Like I said your different, and I'm gonna be the one to figure you out."
"No. Your wrong about me. Sorry but your theory is wrong try again" with that I climb back to my window
He can't know.
