Twisted

Drama

That morning was so embarrassing. I couldn't recall a moment of the day when someone didn't taunt me for what happened in the cafeteria. It may have seemed like I was being overdramatic and lashed out, but honestly, you've never been in my shoes. I'm constantly teased for stupid things like being smart, being the only girl in the whole grade without a boyfriend, and the fact that I've got a "nice upper half".
Most of the time a popular guy sits with me, its because he just wants me to date me for two weeks then get rid of me for a new girl.
I used to have friends, but they all pretty much left me when a rumor flew around the school that I had went on a date with one of their boyfriends. School can be a hateful place; and even if someone seems nice, they could end up just being a backstabber.
My only friend is my neighbor Evan. He goes to my school, but I guess I don't really talk to him that much there, because unlike me, he has his own group of friends. We've known each other since fourth grade, but I guess we never were really that close, as crazy as it sounds. He was more of the "gamer type" and I was just a loser that no one hung out with (which I still am). But, he has gotten me through rough times, I will admit. He's my only friend that hasn't given up on me yet, and that's something I will always appreciate.
BACK AT SCHOOL
I was walking into seventh hour when I caught a glimpse of Justin. Out of embarrassment, I turned away and sat in my seat.
"Hi," Evan said to me.
"Hi," I replied awkwardly. Like I said, talking at school wasn't something Evan and I normally did, but I guess I didn't mind.
"I heard about this morning..." Evan said trying to bring it up as subtly as possible.
"Yeah," I replied hesitantly.
"You know I'm here if you want to talk about anything right?" He said trying to comfort me.
"No," I said. "I'm fine," I pushed out a smile. It was obvious enough that I was upset by everything, but when people actually bring it up, it sort of makes matters worse.
By the time class ended, tears were about to spill out of my eyes. Throughout the whole hour, all I heard was gossip about this morning. Some people said Justin asked if I would go out with him, others said he simply tried talking to me, and I acted like a freak. I guess it's true. Maybe I shouldn't have taken it so far. I'm just afraid to apologize to him. It seems cowardish, but it's a true fear. Maybe he actually was just trying to talk to me... but now, I may never know.
