As promised I'm here bright and early, waiting at Dahlia's locker. On my own. I mean if I'm gonna be here early for her the least she can do is come on time, right? God I really hate this place. It's a comfy place but I just hate being here. If it wasn't for my need to become a surgeon then I would never stay at this pretentious piece of shit school.

I mean look at everyone. They only care about themselves. All of them walk around as if they are the reason why the earth rotates. It's just annoying.

To make things worse they all, always want to know everything about everyone. It's not that they care, no, it's just that if you are on their bad side they will have something against you. It's sick.

Poor Dahlia. She has no idea what she is getting into. She seems like a nice person, so they will have a field day with her. Well it's not my problem. She's a big girl and can take care of herself. No need for my assistance.

In the middle of my thoughts a hand rest on my shoulder. I nearly jump out of my skin only to turn around and face Dahlia, who's shoulders are shaking due to silent laughter.

"A 'hi' would have sufficed. You nearly killed me" my heart is still pounding like crazy.

"I said hello but you were spaced out, so it was my only option. I'm sorry that I scared you" she explained.

"Alright. Whatever. Why are you so late?"

"We still have 30 minutes before class officially begins. Relax. Anyways I had something to do this morning so, naturally, I was a little late."

"Okay, whatever you say hun. Uh well let get this show on the road, eh?"

We begin walking towards her first hour class, just to get her used to her surroundings. Once I've shown her all of her classes I realize that we still have 15 minutes before class starts.

"Well that's the end of your fantastic tour with Gwendolyn Mackenzie Hawthorne. I hope that you enjoyed your ride! Have a great day." Feeling that my exit was perfect I turn to leave only to be stopped by a soft hand with a firm grip on my wrist.

After a few moments of silence I ask, "What can I do you for?" Not sure why she was holding on to me and not saying anything.

"Well Gwen I consider us to be friends or something of the like. So I was wondering if we could get to know each other a little better."

Oh god. No. Nope. I'm not talking to her. It will just lead to me getting hurt. Make up an excuse. Anything.

"Uh sure why not". What the hell kind of an excuse was that Gwen? You're supposed to be walking away, not staying to chat! Oh god why did I say yes? I do not want to talk. I have nothing to talk about. Maybe I'll just listen. Yeah. I can't go wrong with listening right?

Dahlia takes my hand and leads us in a random direction. In all honesty, I doubt that she knows where she's going.

Yep. She definitely has no clue. I take the liberty of just sitting us down. She give a shy smile of thanks.

"Soo what do you want to talk about?" Great way to start a conversation right? Jesus Gwen.

"Well anything really. I just want to get to know you and vis versa. I guess I'll start. I moved here because of my dad's job. It always has him moving so I'm used to it. I live with him and my two younger brothers. They're twins and are a year younger than I am. Our mother died a few years back so it's just been us..."

She continued talking and I found myself hanging on every word. Her voice was so pure and innocent. I just liked listening to her speak. Is that weird? Whatever. I felt that if the smallest noise were to interrupt us that I'd miss a whole story.

"So that basically is my life story." She lets out an adorable laugh "I guess I ramble. I'm sorry. How-"

Just as she started to speak the bell rang and I found myself getting angry. I wanted this moment to never end. She seemed to notice and let that beautiful smile creep it's way back on her face.

"How about we talk after school? I'll meet you by my locker." She stated rather than asked and all I did was nod.

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

After what seemed like an eternity, school was finally over. I gather my things and made my way towards Dahlia. I don't know what it is about her but I felt happy around her. Why? I'm not even sure myself. I felt comfortable around her. Is that weird?

I finally rounded a corner to get to her locker and saw that she was with two other girls. I wasn't exactly sure why but I got angry. I'm not the jealous type, so it felt weird. I mean why would I be jealous if she was making other friends. That meant I didn't have to talk, but still it just got to me.

She noticed I was there almost instantly. She turned on her heels and sped towards me, yanking me by the arm and rushing back to her little fan girls. Yeah. I'm definitely jealous.

"Hey girls, this is Gwendolyn. Gwen this is Hayley and Meagan. They're just about as nice as you."

"Oh I know you! You've always been quiet since like freshman year." Meagan said as if I forgot that I was quiet. I just nod my head.

Yep, that about sums it up. I've had classes with Meagan since I started high school. She's a really nice girl, always tried to talk to me but I just ignored her. She gave up on me about a year ago. She a few inches shorter than I am. About 5'6. She has a great body and I'm not ashamed to admit that. Her light dark brown hair complements her tan skin perfectly. She has gorgeous green eyes that can bring a smile to a blind mans face. She's also the head of the cheer team and has the brightest personality ever. It gets annoying sometimes but I'm used to it now.

Hayley is the exact opposite. Not say that she isn't gorgeous because that would be a flat out lie. She is the definition of irresistible. She has flawless pale skin and long, jet black hair. Her blue eye fit her perfectly because they just seemed to pop out because of her natural qualities. Unlike Meagan, she is extremely quiet but always surrounds herself with welcoming people. Hints as to why her and Meagan are best friends.

Ha I pay a lot of attention to people. Better observing than actually talking. It's weird so, let's forget I said that.

"I was wondering if she could hangout with us today? If you guys don't mind" Dahlia asked.

"Sure. I mean if she wants to tag along it wouldn't be a big deal." Hayley just nods in agreement. I think they are waiting my response.

Nope. I don't want to be with girls all day. They will most likely ask questions that I don't want to answer. Okay Gwen make up a good excuse this time. Don't fuck up again.

"Uh sure. I don't have anything better to do."

WHAT. THE. FUCK. That was pretty fucking smooth. Totally shot them down. God I need to work on rejection.

They prance ahead of me, while I'm left behind. Wallowing in my own sorrow.
