Misfit

Chapter 2

When I woke up I realized that I had to go to school. No matter how much I didn't want to go, I still was forced to go.
"Lola wake up,you are going to be late for school."
"I don't want to go."
"Lola enough games. Get up."
"If you get out of my room,I will get up."
"How will I know you'll get up."
"Because you trust me."
"Fine but hurry up, you are-"
"Going to be late,I know mom."
"Ok. Now get up."
As soon as she left my room I got up. How much I hate going to this new school, I still have to go. If I had at least one friend I would be rushing out the door to get to school. But here's the thing, I have no friends. So I got up and got ready. Once I was done getting ready. I skipped breakfast,and ran to my bike. After I pedaled my way to school. I went to my locker to grab some books. As I was walking to class I ran into someone. I dropped all of my books. But instead of walking away he helped me pick up my things.
"I'm so sorry."
"It's fine I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Hey, I haven't seen you around. Are you new?"
"Yea."
"Where did you move from?"
"Princeton,Kentucky"
"So far from here?"
"Yea,pretty far."
"What's your next class?"
"Mr.Kenney's writing class."
"Oh,I'm not that far. Let me walk you."
"You don't have to."
"I bumped into you. It's the least I can do."
"So you don't care what others think."
"Why would I?"
"I'm the class nerd I guess you can say."
"You don't look like a nerd."
"Really?"
"No,you look like a normal girl to me."
"Well thank you."
"Why do you think that your a nerd."
"Well ever since I got here people never talked to me. They called me a nerd, and I'm super smart. So I assumed."
"Well I would say that you are the most prettiest girl in school."
"Thanks."
"So may I walk you to your writing class?"
"Yes you may."
That one conversation was nice to have. But I bet he was only being nice because he bumped into me. If it was real I think I made a really good friend. He walked me to class the whole way he told me about the school. But he never told me his name. Was it because he forget,or because he didn't want me to know because he didn't want to ever talk to me again. I can't blame him. I did tell him I'm a nerd. He walked really fast to Mr.Kenney's classroom. Also,he walked fast to his next class. He was practically running. But yet again he was going to be late for class. When four out of eight classes were over it was time for lunch. So I got my food from the lunch room and went to where I sat yesterday. You know where I sat alone. I've sat there since the day I got there,but today there was the cheer team.
"Can I sit here?"
"No nerd, go find a different table."
"But-"
"But what?"
"I've been sitting here since the day I got here."
"Well today we are sitting here."
"But-"
"Bye nerd."
I looked around. There was no table that had nobody there. I have already tried to sit at all the other tables my first day here. So I went to the door.Yes,it is the beginning of winter. Yes,it is below 50 degrees. But I saw no other option. So I opened the door and right before I went out I heard something.
"How cute is Matt?"
The cheerleaders had the most terrible conversations ever. So I walked out the door and sat down at the table outside. Then the door opened. I guess I didn't hear it. But I knew when a jacket was wrapped around me that I wasn't outside alone.
"You'll freeze out here without a jacket."
I turned around to see who it was. It was the guy from this morning.
"Thanks."
"No problem. It should be warm,coach doesn't want us to freeze."
"Coach?"
"Yea,you are wearing a Barren County High School Varsity Soccer jacket."
"Here." I said as I started to take it off.
"No you wear it,"
"I don't want to mess it up. It seems like a big deal."
"It's cold. You'll freeze."
"I'll freeze? Your in a short sleeve shirt."
"Your point is?"
"Why are you out here?"
"I saw you talking to the cheerleaders."
"So you're being nice."
"Not really."
"Then what?"
"Can I not sit with a friend at lunch?"
"Friend? I don't even know your name."
"Oh yeah, I was in a rush to get to class. I totally forgot to say my name. I only had two minutes to get to class you know. I'm Matt."
Why did that name remind me of something. Wait! Those cheerleaders were saying how cute he was. But to be fair he was kind of cute.
"Well Matt, I'm Lola."
"Nice to meet you Lola."
Then here it comes. The worst thing ever. I finally made a friend, and the cheerleaders have to ruin it.
"Hey Matt."
"Sarah what are you doing out here?"
"I had nowhere else to sit."
"I highly doubt that."
"Why do you think that" she said very annoyed.
"Because, I saw you at Lola's old table. Told her to find a new place."
"Matt-"
"Go back inside Sarah."
"Hey girl, go find another table."
"No Sarah,Lola was here first. So she stays."
Then Sarah stormed off back inside.
"You look like a pro at that." I said impressed.
"At what?"
"Dealing with her."
"She bugs me twenty four seven."
"I guess she's spoiled."
"No."
"You don't think so?"
"No, I know so. Her dad is a lawyer. So they have deep pockets."
"Oh. That explains a lot."
We talked and talked and laughed and laughed. I think I finally made a friend here. I guess I'm not a misfit after all.
