Freshman Fish Are Friends, Not Food

Hi. My names Katelynn, Not that you should care or anything, just thought you'd like to know. I'm going to be a 'fish' in high school. Yay. Except for not really. I'm at the bottom of the food chain, but I'm trying to think of the positive side..so YAY FOR PRETTY GUYS. I'm pretty sarcastic, if you haven't been able to tell yet. I don't process what I say, I just say it. That's probably why im where I am now, on that awkward border of being 'cool and popular' or being an annoying fish. I don't like half of those popular people, I mean, what the hecks wrong with them!? They act like they have no morals..Oh wait, they probably don't. Duh. But there is this one kid. Very handsome guy if I do say so myself, I have known him for awhile but whether or not he knows me or not the world will never know. I'm sure he would never go for a girl like me anyways, since he practically has every girl on planet Earth swarming him like bees. But who can blame them? I mean he's freaking gorgeous, blonde shaggy hair and perfect teeth, school athlete, and the most golden brown eyes you have ever seen. But anyways, his name is Cody, and I never really paid much attention to him until he because hot. It was one of those 'WHOA, LET ME SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE AGIAN!' moments. Sad I know, I don't really do those kind of people. But you have no idea, my friend. 

"Katelynn!"  I looked up trying to catch my breath from the shock of hearing my name screamed. I thought I heard someone snickering at me from behind.  My math teacher was looking at me with those mean teacher eyes that said 'If you don't pay attention to what I'm teaching then I will kill you' looks. Don't you love those? I tried to pay attention to my algebra teacher, but I was really sitting there wondering why these letters, A and B, needed values, I mean there the alphabet, be happy. Finally the bell rang and ran out the door like I was in an Olympic race. As I wandered threw the halls and dodged my way between people, I finally got to my locker to see a piece of paper stuck in between the little slits at the top. What are those called anyway? Breathe holes? Whatever. I paused and pulled it out an unfolded the little paper.    Hey Katelynn, You should really start noticing me staring at you durning algebra, because I'm trying to get your attention the best way I can, and you not even noticing is really not working out. ~X

'Ok, I have to get to Algebra," I said to Cameron. Cameron was a good friend, but I hated the way he changed. Ever since the 6th grade when we became 'cool' he's somehow managed to get caught up in bad decisions. I have tried my best to steer clear of those things, and I think for the most part I have. Barely.  'Ok, see you after school at TJs right?' He asked. I nodded then walked off. I sat down in my usual seat waiting to see her, I hated when she didn't come to school. I didn't really have anything to look forward to. Finally she came in and sat down looking dreary to be in this class. I knew she hated it, but I didn't think it was that bad. The whole class I just found myself sitting there staring at her, like I seem to do everyday. When the teacher called on her for day dreaming I had to hold in my laughs from escaping because I thought I was the one in jeopardy of getting it. As soon as I heard the bell ring I saw her get up and leave and I sighed. That means I couldn't talk to her today, again. I haven't talked to her in forever. I wonder if she still remembers me, If she still remembers my name. I pulled out the note and was trying to put it in her locker when I saw her making her way towards me. I walked casually past her and hoped it made it inside. I wonder if she knows who it's from. I have never done that for a girl before. I was instantly filled with butterflies. What the heck is this? I didn't like this feeling. I really liked her. I finally found someone who I really liked. And she wasn't following me like all these other girls. I hope she likes me too.                     

Katelynns POV

I stood there in shock for a minute, not able to think straight. What's going on? Is this some type of joke? Not funny, not funny at all. What's X mean? Was that his name or something? Or just something to add to the creepiness of it all? It was creepy.. But I don't think I was supposed to be. Whatever. I shoved the note on my bag and hurried to get to TJs. I didn't really want to go, but I promised Grace, my good friend I would go. Yay for annoying people. When I got there I was greeting with a bunch of 'HEY's from the many people who were there. I don't really know what this was called, I mean it wasn't a party or anything, just a large gathering for social purposes. Good enough. There seemed to be a lot of people there, but I only saw a few that I knew. Cody was there, and Cameron, and Grace. That's pretty much all. As soon as I sat down a stranger came up to me and smile. Ok then... "Hey, What's up?" he asked. The sky I immediately thought. "Um, nothing really.." he laughed and made himself comfortable beside me. Awkward much? "That's cool." he said. Isn't it? I thought. Maybe you get the sarcasm thing now. I nodded and noticed he was eyeing me, which made me uncomfortable. "Do you happen to have a boyfriend?" he asked. I sat there wondering what I should say, I didn't, but if I told him that he would just keep annoying me. As I was sitting there stupidly I heard a voice behind me. "Yeah, she does. It's me." I heard Cameron said coming up and putting his hands on my shoulders. EW. DON'T TOUCH ME. I wanted to scream an run out I the room somewhere far away. But I just say there and nodded. "Oh.." the stranger said as he got up and left. I let out a sigh and waited for Camerons hands to get off me, but it never happened. Narnia here I come.. I got up and moved across the room to grace and told her I was leaving. I couldn't stand being surrounded by creepers.
