Letting Go

Chapter 3

He sat with me. I stared at his cute smile, wondering why he sat with me. Everyone gave him a weird look. Hes sitting with.. Ew. Zoey Matthews. He asked what was wrong. I told him, "Nobody likes me. Youre making huge mistake sitting with me. Youll be hated forever, on your first day. Not a smart option. Just saying. I don't want to scare you away or anything.. But seriously watch it." He glared at me. I realized he doesn't care. "Like I care about popularity? Haha. You make me laugh. I could care less if people liked me. I just thought you looked lonely. Your pretty. I'm Troy, what's your name?"

I didn't know what to say. I've never been approached by someone like this in a long time. I didn't know what to even think of this. "Zoey.. Zoey Matthews. Um.. Your cute too. I don't know what to say. I'm flattered.." My face red, I take out my headphones, and forget the world. Troy, he's a nice person, but my trust, isn't easy to earn.

As we got off the bus, Troy asked me where his first period was, I looked at his schedule, we have the same schedule! Yay! I told him to follow me. "Im going to take good care of you" I told him.

Everyone looked at us on our way to lunch. I don't care anymore. Troy is nice, I see he doesn't have problems expressing himself. Telling me all his little secrets. He's funny. Troy is the closest thing to a friend I've had in years.
