*******************

Lola's (POV)

After my encounter with Trisha, I tried to ignore everyone else but everyone annoys me. In my first class, some guys behinds started throwing spitballs at me. My second class, science, Trisha just happens to be sitting next to me and spills water all over my shirt.

I had to go to the office to get permission to the girls locker room to get my P.E shirt. Katie told me I could stay there and not have to face Trisha but I denied. I don't want people to think I'm that weak when I really am. I don't want them seeing my weaknesses.

When the bell rings its time for lunch. I start making my way to the office when I notice a bunch of girls standing around with their phones out or trying to get into the office. I casually walk straight to the office like usual but then I get stopped by the principle.

"Sorry Lola but you can't pass" He says

"Why not?" I ask curiously

"Because I said so."

"Well that's not a really good explanation Mr. Brown" I start to argue folding my arms against my chest.

About to argue back, Katie comes out of the of and whispers something into Mr. Browns ear. "Yeah, ok. Lola you can go in."

In all honesty, the only two nicest people here at school are, Katie, and Mike. Mike might act like a jerk sometimes but the only reason is because he's gay. He's never told anyone except me. He hasn't even told his parents because he's scared of what his dad would say and do, kick him out of the house or take all music away which is all important to him and Katie...is just Katie.

Mike and her are the only people who really know me. They know about me more then I know about myself probably.

I walk into the office going straight to the front desk.

"Um.. Katie, why are there so many girls trying to get in here?" I ask Katie who's enjoying her sandwich for lunch.

She swallows her food before responding. "Oh those silly girls are trying to get in because there's a famous boy here, I think his name was something like-"

"Luke?" I interrupt her.

"Yes" she says surprised "Wait? how did you know?" she asks raising her eyebrow.

"We bumped into each other yesterday after school when their bus broke down."

"Oh yea, the one that ran after you."

"Yea him. Anyways, where is he?"

"Bathroom"

"Ok" I say

I just stand there, awkwardly, not really knowing what to do. Should I wait for him or should I just leave? I think leaving is a good idea. I know it's mean but I don't know who he is and there is a bunch of girls who will break me into a million of pieces for being with a famous hot guy..... wait did I just say he's hot? Scratch that just a famous guy.

I mean also, he doesn't know one bit about me. Yeah he knows my age, only child, favorite song and such, but he doesn't know the real me. I'm just scared. Scared letting someone in because that someone always leaves.

Everybody leaves.
