Calista's POV

    I walked into school and went toward Forrest's locker. I want him to come over and hang out at my house. Since he is a little shy, he doesn't always make the first move. Not that he hasn't at all but I can tell he gets nervous. I'm pulled from my thoughts as someone shoves me to the ground. I let out a surprise screech and hit the floor hard. ow. Who? What? Why?
"Ugh! Out of my way, ugly bitch." Juliette kept walking and didn't look back. Others in the hallway just stared or laughed. Really? No help? I'll remember that stupid assholes. I got up and dusted myself off and kept walking.

My eyes lit up as I saw him getting books out of his locker. He ran a hand through his hair as he did when he was in deep thought. Is it creepy that I like to just watch him? No. Maybe. Yes but who cares. I walked up to him and hugged him from behind. He tensed but relaxed letting the sparks fill us.
"Hey" he quietly mumbled. I smiled.
"Hey" He turned around, grabbed my hand, and we headed to class. We split up, his class being across the hall. I took a seat and started on my work. Today we were presenting our monologues. I choose a song from the musical Heathers cause I love that song. The teacher called people one by one and then it was my turn.
"Ok make sure you use a lot of emotion so we can feel what you feel. Unlike these other kids I expect good work from you. Ok, begin" I took a breathe before starting.

I float in a boat, in a raging black ocean, low in the water with nowhere to go
The tiniest lifeboat with people I know
Cold, clammy, and crowded, the people smell desperate, we'll sink any minute so someone must go
The tiniest lifeboat with people I know
Everyone's pushing, Everyone's fighting
Storms are approaching, there's no where to hide
If I say the wrong thing or I were the wrong outfit, they'll throw me right over the side
I'm hugging my knees and the captain is pointing "well who made her captain?"
Still the weakest must go
The tiniest lifeboat full of people I know
The tiniest lifeboat full of people I know

The room was silent then the teacher clapped and told me good job. I went and sat back down hearing whispers.
"Oh what, she's emo now?"
"She's just acting all depressed to get attention"
"Attention seeking whore."
"She needs to sit down and shut up"
Wow. These were the people who said 'hi' to me in the hallway and smiled. They acted friendly and talked behind my back. They spread rumors to start drama and try and make me feel bad. They are the real attention whores. They seek attention and take it from other people. And for what. Popularity. It's not going to matter In a few months. With that the bell rung and I got up walking to my next class.
