I fucking hate my life, why do I have to join the screw up's rehabilitation club? All I did was....

Okay so maybe it was a little bad. But at least I apologised, I think my parents even payed the medical bill for Mrs Davids.

But whatever, I'm going into the 'unfriendable' group. Or at least that's what the populars are calling it.

I'm in between the populars and the troublemakers Clique. Everyone knows you have to join a group or at least join the 'others' but I can't decide. Nobody seems to mind me playing the field a little bit.

Where were we? My name is Jay. I am the schools most uneligible bachelorette that is trying to get through school and have an average life.

I am popular because I am taking acting classes and all the populars are as well. It's my major, I've already acted in a few movies and apparently that makes me 'popular' enough to hang out with the populars even if I have only been here for a month.

And yet here I am.

"Hello? Jay Forbes?" I hear a mans voice and I turn around to see someone I assume is the school nurse from his attire. He has light blond hair and green eyes that match my own eyes in colour.

"Um... nurse Lynn right?" I ask confused, he doesn't really show up a lot. But I think I've seen him helping one of the people I got into a fight with.

"Yes! I'm glad you remembered because I am the supervisor for your group this year!" Lynn says and I adjust the purple bow around my neck.

"Right. What do I have to do again?" I ask him, running my hand through my long dark brown hair that reaches down to my lower back, hitting my hips.

"Well, every once and awhile, you me and some other students will get together after class and just hangout" he says and I sigh boredly.

"Right well are any of them hot?" I ask and the nurse seems a bit taken back by my question and he cleared his throat before speaking.

"Um... I don't think I am qualified to answer that... or allowed to" Lynn mumbles and I roll my eyes.

"Right, legally that's probably a good move by you. Are they all boys?" I ask with a hint of concern. I'm not particular when it comes to sexual partners, girls, guys, anywhere in between. As long as you are human and have sexual organs I am down for the ride.

"Yes, is this really important?" Lynn asks and I shrug.

"No. I was just curious. But hey, at least I know there will be at least one hot guy there" I say winking at him before turning my back and heading to my dorm.

"Don't forget to come to the meeting room after school!" Lynn calls out and I turn back to him, still walking backwards.

"Will do Cap'n" I say saluting him and I turn back to my dorm. After a minute of walking Alicia runs over to me and I put on a fake smile.

"Hey, Jay... ha I'll never get over saying hi to you like that. You have like the best name ever" Alicia says and I nod.

"Yeah thanks, love. Anything I can do for you?" I ask friendly, putting my hands on my hips and she nods.

"Oh yeah! What after school group are you in." She ask and I hide my cringe. I am an actor after all.

"Oh.. uh... the school nurse is the supervisor or something like that." I mumble, ignoring my embarrassment and she laughs.

"Wait Seriously? You are with the unfriendables?" She says and I just keep smiling carelessly even though I am dying inside.

"Yeah- it was probably just a mistake or something." I say dismissively waving my hand to try to demonstrate my lack of concern and Alicia nods with a slight frown.
