65. Wanted (Fluff)

(Joey's POV)

I've been an outcast my whole life. My parents have completely forgotten that I exist, I think the last time they noticed me, I was six. It's not like I'm begging for attention, I'm actually fine with no one knowing I exist. The teachers don't call on me during classes, they walk right by me, even though they sometimes forget to give me the worksheet. I was fine with my life until I saw him. Daniel Preda. He's a new boy in school, but he's also popular.

Okay, I lied. I'm not fine with my life as an outcast. There are days, however, when I feel like it's the best feeling in the world. Other days, I hate the feeling of no one noticing me, no one noticing that I need someone to talk to. My parents have been so focused on their lives that they never hear me cry myself to sleep some nights. They never notice how I've screamed about how much I hate myself and my life ever since I was six. I don't blame anyone but myself.

Today is a day where I hate my life. My life as an outcast....an antisocial freak. I know I should try talking to people, but I don't think anyone will listen to me, they'll probably just roll their eyes and walk away. Something that helps my bad days, is remembering that I'm a straight-A student. I'm a straight-A student who is a reject of society. Oops, down the rabbit hole I go. All I've wanted in this life is to feel like I'm wanted by someone. Whether that be a parent, a friend, or a boyfriend, I don't really care. I just want someone to be there for me, but I don't think that'll ever happen.

(Daniel's POV)

I've noticed him. I don't think he's noticed me. But he's all I can look at. I want to know his name, but no one seems to know who he is either. I don't understand how you can go to school with someone without ever knowing who he is, I mean, someone has to have him in a class! Sadly, I do not have any classes with the boy who has caught my eye. When I walked through the front doors of the school, I looked at him and I was absolutely blown away by his beauty. As the boy walked by a teacher, I rushed to the classroom asking her who he is. I got an answer.

His name is Joey Graceffa.

Joey Graceffa, wow, his name is as wonderful as he is. Okay, I'm starting to creep myself out. I happen to have the same lunch period as Joey, so I'm going to take this opportunity to meet him. Walking over to his empty lunch table, I sit across from him "hello there" the boy looks up at me with wide eyes "h-hi?" "What's your name?" His eyes dart around the room "d-did s-someone p-put you u-up to this?" "No one, I've wanted to talk to you for a while now."

(Joey's POV)

Am I dreaming? Why is Daniel Preda talking to me right now? "Y-You've wanted t-to talk to me?" He nods "yes, of course!" This is a shock, I never had someone talk to me, at least, not willingly. "So what's your name?" "J-Joey...J-Joey Graceffa" he smiles widely "I'm Daniel, Daniel Preda" I know. I've had a crush on you for a while. "So Joey, I was wondering..." if he asks me to be friends, I don't know if I want to be friends with someone as popular as him. "I was wondering if you would want to be friends?" I frowned "um, I'm sorry, I really hate to say this but. I'm fine by myself" no I'm not. Don't listen to me. Daniel frowns as well "oh, okay. Well, I'm not going to pressure you into anything" Daniel stands up, grabbing his backpack "it was nice to meet you Joey" I nod sadly "nice to meet you too Daniel." I watched in agony as he walked away, however, there was an emotion on his face that I haven't seen from another human other than myself.

Sadness.

Was he really sad to see me go? Or was he just sad that his little trick hadn't worked? No. Daniel is not like that, I can tell by the way he's not sitting with the other populars right now. Instead, sadly, he walked right out of the cafeteria. Had he really wanted to get to know me? If that's the case, I feel so guilty. I pushed away someone really wanted to be friends with me. I would love to have friends, I would love to be friends with someone like Daniel. Is it too late?
