Chapter 11

Walking into school on the following Monday felt completely different.
People smiled and waved to me while I walked through the corridors.
People who I never spoke to before Saturday night.
Isn't it crazy how now that people actually acknowledge me, I feel more alone.
None of these people are my friends, they don't know me, they don't like me, they jut liked my party.
My parents were supposed to come home tonight, but like always 'the work trip will take longer than expected' so basically, they didn't have time to explore while working so hey are staying for another week to do that, they sent me more money and said they miss me. I don't believe them. They never come home when they are supposed to. It's been like this for a few years now. I'm used to it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt. I wish I could see them more but work is more important than their only child.

I spent all of the morning alone, and planned to do the same through lunch and free period.
But, unfortunately, that didn't happen. As soon as I walked through the cafeteria doors I was greeted by Dan.
"What are you doing during free period?" He asked dragging me to his table
"I'm going to the library to catch up on work"
"Like you need to catch up on work"
"I do" I tried to walk away but Dan followed me.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm fine" I was lying through my teeth
"I don't believe you"
"Dan, I said I'm fine"
"I can see that you aren't"
"I AM, just please leave me alone" Dan began to walk away and I felt people looking at me, he was trying to be kind, what is wrong with me today?
I walked to the library and sat in the corner away from everyone who could possibly come in and started to cry.
I hated that I felt alone, I know I'm not alone. I just miss having a family, and having friends that like me for me, not because I can throw a good party or because they pity me. I hadn't seen Liza or Gabbie all day, I guess they don't have to pity me anymore, so they stopped.
I had my head buried in my hands and I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders, I looked up to see Dan, looking sympathetic
"I knew you weren't fine" he laughed slightly "please tell me what's wrong"
I cracked, I told him how alone I felt, how I was angry and missing my parents, how I felt like no one was actually my friend, how I just wanted it all to stop and I could just be happy again.
When I had finished he just looked at me before wrapping me into a hug
"Y/n, don't feel like no one wants to be your friend, I do, I will always be at shouting call from your house, if you ever feel that alone just shout my name and I will come to you. I want you to be happy. You deserve it."
Fuck. That really didn't help the fact that I was trying not to crush on Dan.
Why did he always have to be so kind to me?

Hi, so this book won't be updated for around 2 weeks because I'm going on holiday so won't be able to write it.
Thank you so much for over 50 views, I honestly didn't think I'd get any because my writing is shit😂 but thanks.
