"You actually enjoy this stuff?" Hayden asked, his nose curled in disgust.
"I like food." I shrugged, biting into another of the schools Crispitos. (I probably misspelled that... oops)
"The food your kind eats never fails to amaze me." He mumbled so low I almost didn't catch it.
"Hey," I wiped my mouth clean, dunking another crispy thing of goodness into nacho cheese, "I thought you were my kind? Like... social status wise..." my voice trailed as his eyes scanned my face.
He slid his plate closer to me and laughed.
"That's not entirely what I meant, but you're right. Social status wise we are the same."
I tried to keep from crunching extremely loud as I pondered his words.
"You speak like you're an alien of some sort." I snorted.
"No, I'm definitely not an alien." He mumbled, his cheeks turning red.
I ignored him as I finished up my lunch, my self esteem was non existent which made stuffing my face in front of him quite amusing.
"Do you ever get tired of this? Going to school, going home, going to bed, waking up and repeating?" He questioned, his voice holding back an emotion I'm not sure I've ever felt.
"Well, yeah, school sucks."
"That's not what I mean. Do you ever wish you wasn't... human?"
"I don't think you get it." I sighed, standing up, my hands motioning around for extreme emphasis. "The halls, make me feel unwelcome. These kids here, treat me as if I'm not human already! Those teachers, they'd rather discipline over chewing gum and rolling eyes than the mean, hurtful words hurled at people like me, or the large, relentless fists that come at us! Kids like me already feel less than human, so yes, I wish I was something more than this disgusting species."
"Your outbursts always seem to annoy me while humbling me." He mused.
"Glad to be of use."
"Chloe, there's more out there besides humans. Remember that."
He stood to his feet and swiftly exited the empty classroom just as the bell began to ring.
"...there's more out there..." I mimicked, pondering his words.
What more could there be?
