"Hi", Emilia said smiling with a somewhat phoney smile. She did this every morning, not in a rude way she's just very quiet and awkward. That's what everyone saw in Emilia. Not much as she was very very quiet and never really spoke to anyone but me. She was one of my best friends and I felt honoured that she could be her true self around me. We made it to the shithole in time. That's what we called school. I know it's a bit cliche but it was honestly the most miserable place to be and I never felt happy there. Ever. We arrived in our form room and as usual we were ignored by our so called 'friends'. All I see them as are people we used to be best friends with who then left us because they thought they were too good for us. They started getting invited to parties and mixed with boys. Me and Emilia were never in the loop with all them. It got really annoying actually. All they talked about was boys. It literally irritated my skin cells. I got invited to one or two parties but that's mainly because my boyfriend Rory got me invited. If I didn't have him I would be just like Emilia who has never been invited to one party. Bless her. It's not because she's not a nice person or a lightweight she just is very shy and doesn't talk to people she isn't comfortable with. However I had never really been to the mental sort of parties the 'friends' aka Haleigh, Beth, Emma, Charlie and Jenivive went to.
And it's for that reason alone, when we were finally released into the world of parties, party drugs and heavy drinking, things got a little out of hand.
It was the end of the day and I was going to Rory's after school to do 'homework'. Well that's what I intended to do. The reality never really was that though. I was at my locker grabbing a few things when I saw Conor about 50 yards down the corridor just staring at me with his hand on his back pack strap. The moment our eyes met he looked away awkwardly and scurried off. I used to like Conor. A lot back in year 9. But he turned out to be a dick about it was messed me about. I don't know what he's playing at now though it's like he doesn't want me to get over him.
