Only A Mercer

FML

My next class period flew by quickly. Lang and Comp was easy, but we had to read Scarlett's Letter. BORING! Next thing I knew I was in Digital Media sitting beside my brother and guess who .... Jack. The teacher told us to relax and get to know one another since it was the first day. We were to take a vibe from each other to see what kind of artist we would be. Of course I didn't talk to Dev, he is my brother after all. Instead I talked to Jack. I learned he was the quarterback for our football team, made straight A's, and turned out to be the popular kid. He was really animated and bubbly so I assumed he was gay, but of course I didn't mention it. I got really curious though. He was so gorgeous with his amazing green eyes, and tousled hair. He had dimples, flawless teeth, and a very contagious laugh. How could he be attracted to boys? He looked like a chick magnet to me. Grrrrr.

I just had to ask, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"We-" he started.

"Omgg. Nevermind. Of course you do, its pretty obvious. Duhhh. How stupid of me? Gosh I act so du-"

"Mia. SHUTUP! I was going to say I just broke off a relationship recently," he  stated sheepishly.

"Oh." Was all I could manage. I felt like a complete fool.

"Uhhh yeeeah. Between me and you ..." he started before looking very uncomfortable.

"Between me and you ... what?"

"I'm gay," he whispered in my ear.

"I KNEW IT!" I practically screamed. That's when I noticed everyone was looking at me.That is until the bad boy himself walked into the classroom. Of course, the famous girl makes an outburst and gains the class' attention, until a bad boy comes around. I'm usually not the one to embrace attention, but that is very weird to me.

As I look around the classroom I see every boy, except Devin, looks terrified and, every girl is swooning. I mean yeah he's hot, and has muscles for days, and has eyes the color of crystal blue water, that shows more emotion than a teenager that is PMSing, but that doesn't mean we should be swooning over his God-like physique. If anything we should be hating him for his cocky, arrogant, over masculine personality. I mean who cares if you're fine, if you don't have the personality to match? Oh yeah the hormonal females at this school, which actually seems like a whore infested building.

As everybody continued to ogle that pig-headed bastard, I turned back to Jack.... to find him ogling as well. Well isn't that great news."Uhh hellooo ... Earth to Jack," I said waving my hand in front of his face. No response. Wow. It was as if he was in a trance.

I turned to Devin ... to find him talking to the spawn of the devil himself. "Uhhh Dev," no response. "Dev" no response. "DEV!" I scream.

"Oh my bad Mia, what's up? Oh hey do you know Austin?"

"Well I just wanted to talk to you, because everyone else around here is to busy fan girling that PIG, Austin. Oh yeah and I do know him by the way."

"Mia..." Devin said in a warning tone

"Don't give me that Devin. To you he's cool and all, but he acts obnoxious, rude, and conceited around me. So I don't care about you wanting to be nice to an asshole like him." I say as I grab my stuff and begin to storm away. As soon as I almost pass Austin, he grabs my arm and gives me a pleading look. I almost give in and apologize until I remember how he acted this morning. All of this is a show for Devin. Ugh.

"What?!" I screech at him. I can practically feel the tears about to come. I have to get away from here now. I will not show anyone here I am weak, they will only use it against me again. "You know what? I do not even want to know. I do not care. You can be friends with my brother, but don't even think about looking at me. My brother may believe this charade, but I don't. We can work on our projects separately. I'll let you know when I want to meet to coordinate. Goodbye."

I storm out of the classroom and head straight to the exit. Forget this first day crap. Forget school period. I don't even know why I thought it would be any better coming back to this horrid town. I begin walking home and the tears just flow down my face. That's when I remember my mom is going to kill me when she finds out about this. Oh well. I don't even care anymore. I don't have a care in this world. FUCK MY LIFE!
