"If you want you fit in
Do it the right way and just be yourself"

Zach's POV

"Sam, can you go and grab a table for us to sit on?, I will be right there in a few, I need to clear up something real quick." I say to my best friend who sends me a suspicious looking smile that makes it seem like he knows something, which I assure you that he doesn't, but I simply let him think he does...simply because sometimes I'm nice like that.

"Since no one is willing to ask, let me do the honors of saying that I've noticed that over the recent weeks, You've been stalking that girl, and for some weird reason, you're not still not willing to tell me anything" Sam states Sam states with a smug smile, acting like the smart ass he is making me roll my eyes at him but suddenly it hits me his words...Stalking? Pshh!!!...I MEAN.. I don't think it is stalking when she is aware of my presence each time right?...I kind of follow her in a manner that makes her aware, not just her specifically, but you get the gist, however, stalking her was never my intention, we just seem to have a lot of shared classes this year...hopefully she doesn't see me as some kind of creep at the end of this session, since even Sam have mentioned it, if there's anything I love about Sam is how he never sugarcoats anything, he would tell you as it is....maybe I've been acting like a creep indeed...i blame it on Anaya and her weird bunch.

And it still beats me, how that crew doesn't seem to be ready to leave Amal alone, it almost seems to have become their life mission, no matter how many times they are and i block their path, they're not willing to give up and drop it, never and from what I've seen so far... Amal is not even that bad as a person, i mean...yes she can be really sarcastic sometimes but apart from that i see nothing that would warrant the kind of hate that she receives on a daily basis.

And about her sarcasm, I mean it's obvious that it seems to have become a coping mechanism to her lately, and that realisation makes me wonder even more about a lot of things...

....like i wonder what happened to her, to them, with her and with them,

And looking at Sam now, I just want to ask him about everything that happened while i was away but I knew that by doing that, I'll just end up confirming his delusion about me so instead of asking those questions, to satiate my boiling curiosity, i decided to keep my mouth shut, and glanced over to where she was currently seated, one of the lunch tables at the edge, right next to the garbage can, making me frown as I watch how she was taking big bites of her food, with body hunched over, making my frown only deepen, it is obvious that she was trying so hard to make herself look small and harmless to the world, which kind of looked awkward on her because of her long limbs, which makes me let out a sigh as I feel the familiar loving touch of rage rising within as I wonder to myself why does she have to be forced to hide herself just in order to please the society , who even is society if not a bunch of WE!, as in a bunch of fellow imperfect human beings?.

You know, seeing it first hand the other day when she lost grip on her temper because of food and showed me that She can retaliate. I personally liked that version of her, which was more than willing to fight for herself without a care in the world, although she only got like that about food...

That still amused and entertained me to no end, I wish she would be that way towards her bullies and put them in their place someday...but before then...I wonder how long that would take...

I wonder why everyone seems to be unbothered about the bullying incidents happening in this school in the first place, a bunch of teens feeling entitled enough to mock or hurt others because they believed they were different, how is no one talking?.
