Behind Her Grey Eyes

Confession and Rejection

I rushed down the hallways not wanting to be late for my next class. I once contemplated riding my skateboard down these hallways, to get to class quicker, but decided against it when I realised I could get suspended.

Now let me start again. My name is Ashley Williams, but my friends and family call me Ash. I am NOT your typical nerd. Yes. I love to read and I get good grades. I don't ever break the rules, no matter how stupid they are, but I am not a nerd. Besides those things, I would consider myself pretty cool, but nobody else does.

I am your typical 17 year old teenager. I'm sarcastic, witty, I completely hate school, I even have a crush. The only difference is I am a total tomboy, and I'm proud. I have brown hair that comes just past my shoulders and grey eyes. Yeah, freaky I know, but my dad has them so I'm not surprised.

Now, I know what you're thinking. This girl is pretty cool, and she's probably super popular. Well I'm not. Yeah, turns out actually knowing the answer to questions in class, and reading almost every book in the school library, doesn't do well for your popularity. It actually gives you your very own title, the 'nerd'. Well let me tell you something. I.Am.Not.A.Nerd. I really hate that term.

Thankfully, no one picks on me, or tries to get answers from me, cause if they did, there would be hell to pay. Now my only flaw is that I'm shy. Yes, you herd right. I'm shy. I only have two friends, and their quiet just like me. Their names are Alison and Zoe. Now I can't say anymore because I just got to History class. Ahhh, Boredom here I come.

~~~AFTER SCHOOL~~~

I walked down the hallways that were almost empty, but there were a few students left.

I walk to a specific locker, I knew he would be there. Now, you're probably wondering who the hell I'm talking about. Well, my dear friends, let me tell you, that I am talking about, the one, the only, Daniel Hector. Now if you haven't figured it out already, than I will tell you that, Daniel is the crush I was talking about earlier.

Now, let me tell you you about Daniel. He is captain of the Football team (Yes, cliché I know). He is the golden boy of the school. Girls want to date him, and boys want to be him. He is bloody rich too. What's not to love?

As I approached his locker I could see him standing there in all his glory. He was wearing blue jeans and his football jacket. Wow, he looked good. Then again, when didn't he.

"Hey Daniel." I say in a small voice, letting my hair cover my face slightly. "Uhhhh.... do I know you?" He replies. Well, I honestly didn't expect him to know who I was. "Um....no you don't, my name is Ashley Williams." I say "Ok..... what do you want?" He asks me. "I....um....well I k-kind of like you. I just wanted to know if you wanted to hang out sometime." I mumbled out the last part. He laughed. Yes, he actually laughed in my face.

I looked at him confused. "You- you actually think that I would go out with you?" He says after he finished his laughing fit. "Ummmm.... yeah." I say, my voice small. He then bursts out laughing again. I felt the tears stinging my eyes, but refused to let them fall. "Listen here, nerd." He says."I do not like you, I will never like you and you need to stop liking me." He say casually, like he didn't just break my heart. The tears were now almost completely blocking my vision as he told me that I was just some pathetic nerd, that he would never like, but then he said something that made the tears go away and be replaced by rage.And those word were: "And stop stalking me."

Oh my god, I can't believe that he actually thought that I stalked him. That arrogant piece of shit. And with that I swung my fist making it collide with his jaw. Now I may be a little shy, but I am strong as hell. When I was in middle school I used to arm wrestle the boys, and win every time. So, lets just say his jaw is going to hurt for a while. And without listing for his reaction, I just spun on the heel of my converse and walked away.

And just as I thought my day couldn't get any worse, I saw something I will never forget. My two best friends, dressed like sluts, behind the Queen Bee of the school and her other minion, Natalie. What?

Now, lets just say the queen bee of the school hates me. I have absolutely no idea why though, she just does. Now lets just say she goes by the name of Nancy Johnson. Now, why would my friends be dressed like her? That was the question for the unknown.

Zoe, my redhead bestie, who used to wear baggy sweat pants and hoodies, was now in a dark blue tank top that clung to her like a second  skin she paired with shorts so short you couldn't even call it shorts, it was more like underwear.

Alison, on the other hand, was no different. Her short brown hair was now curled and her face was full of make-up. So was Zoe's. Alison wore a light pink tank top, just like Zoe, bit she wore a tight mini skirt instead.

Nancy looked exactly like them, except she looked prettier. Now,I hate to admit it, but Nancy was actually really beautiful. She had long blonde hair, that was wavy, and a really good figure.

Now, even though I was much taller than her, me being 6'1 and her being 5'7, she still had this intimidating aura about her.

"Well, look girls. It's the nerd again. What is a pathetic thing like you doing here?" Nancy says. The girls snicker at this, and that's when Alison pipes up." Oh, Nancy. You're so right. She is pathetic." I cannot believe Alison is saying this about me! What happened to the sweet girl who was my best friend? I guess she's long gone."Yeah, Ali. She is pathetic. Didn't we just see her trying to get a date with Daniel Hector?" This time it was Zoe who spoke. Alison snickers at Zoes words, while Nancy laughs."Listen hear, nerd. You stay away from Daniel, he's mine. Plus, you're just a pathetic loser, that he will never like." Nancy says with a smirk.

That's when I saw red. I swung my fist at Nancy's cheek, and she fell to the floor. Oh god, how did this happen twice in one day? "Listen, bitches. I'm done with your shit. I'm leaving right now, but don't forget me, because let me assure you. I'll be back." I spit at them. I spun around then ,and for the second time today, I left.
