"It's going to be fun.", they said. "We won't get caught.", they said. "It will be okay.", they said.

Lies. We got caught, nothing is okay.

And now, we're all stuck in the police station and all I can do is stare at the faces of the group that dragged me into this mess. And I don't even know how in the name of god I got here.

The bell rang and I sat down, opening my english notebook while sighing. You could say that I was not excited for this class, I was not.

A girl sat down next to me but I decided to not pay attention to her. Not until she talked to me for sure.

"Hi." she greeted and I mumbled a hi back. "I'm Jen, you?"

"Amanda." she nodded. I couldn't stop wondering why she chose to talk to me, out of all uninteresting persons in this class.

She was quiet for a long time, I was already convinced that she had forgotten me and to be honest, I was okay with that.

"So Amanda... why are you always alone?" she questioned and I sighed.

"Why the question?" I looked at her, watching her playing with the ends of her hair while she stared back.

"Every time I see you around, you're alone, why's that?"

I laughed lightly. "I guess I am a social reject."

She simply smiled, it made me feel like I had just passed a secret test.

The class ended and I got up to finally go home, I was done with school for the day.

"Hey Amanda!" Jen called, making me turn around to face her. "I know a couple of rejects, you should meet them."

"Is that so?" I asked, why is she telling me this?

"You should come hang out with us, tomorrow at 6. We'll be waiting for you, in the city park. Be there, okay? I promise you'll have fun." and with that she stepped out of the classroom leaving me behind and confused.

I spent the next day considering whether I should go meet Jen's group or not. I mean, for all I know they could be a group of criminals and plus, I am not a people person.

But somehow I found myself walking to the so called park where they would meet. At 6 past something I finally found her, she was sitting with a group of four boys, the four of them wearing dark clothes and tight jeans. They looked like a cult, to be honest.

"Amanda, you came!" Jen greeted while getting up. I started making my way towards them.

The boys looked good. One of them was smoking something that I suppose is not a cigarette but drugs. Oh god.

"Guys, this is Amanda. Amanda, these are the guys." and she started making quick introduction to each one of them.

The one that Amanda said was Ashton started talking about their plans for the night.

"I'm supposing you're coming along, Amanda." he told me and I just looked at him wide eyed.

"Me? I- I don't know."
