Out of her league

Chapter 12

Tanya's POV

I can't actually believe I told him that I was okay with being his friend. Stupid me! I can't let my guards down. But he isn't like others!! Who am I to judge his character when the last time I did, I got tricked as well.

*flashback*

I was one of those popular kids, not because I was rich or arrogant like the others and it was surely strange... like random people I din even know knew me and it was strangely making me feel good. Don't ask me why tho cuz I don know either.

There was this guy in my math class and he talked to me a lot. At one point of time, he started... flirting with me. It was more than flirting... But my 'friend' liked him for a longer time even though he never noticed her in that way and my friend became so mad she started throwing hurtful words at me. " You steal other people's boyfriends" " Everyone likes you cuz you are a joker" "you are so stupid" I couldn't take it. I knew that guy and my popularity was the reason behind these accusations.

So I confessed to him.

He made a joke out of it saying he din like me even though whatever he did din seem like it.

Maybe I was stupid? But those times we hung out and all those times he called me beautiful and all those times we stared into each other's eyes for too long?..... that was friendship?.... I din know what was true anymore

He told his friends and soon everyone knew and that was when I was officially a joker. A buffoon even. I was "too ugly for him" and he "was way out of my league". That's what people said. I should have known I could never fit in with popular kids. I should have known I was ugly and I should have never expected someone to like me. My mistake. People were friends with me just so they could make a joke out of me.

I should never trust anyone.

*end of flashback*

A rivulet of tear slipped down my cheeks as I drifted off to sleep. There was one thought on my mind.

Trust no one.
