Dear Nicholas,
After lunch that day, I was a bit hesitating between going back home or staying in school since we had a free period before we take classes again. Anyway after debating myself whether to stay or not, I decided to stay. I remember me being still shy and awkward around my friends so I wasn't extremely secure about walking up to them and hanging out.
I walked towards the library and spotted Elyxe, who forgot the password of her locker. Dora and this other girl, who always hangs out with them, were with her two. I wanted to help her, you know? I wanted to try unlocking it for her, doing something a friend would do to another, but my self-esteem stopped me.
I was about to tell her; her maybe you can try this code! But then I started doubting myself again, like what if I embarrassed myself? What if I made the situation even worse? What if? So I ended up muttering 'Good Luck' and walking away towards the library.
I walked with my head down, until I reached the library. I sat opposite to the CDI, you knew next to that big ugly tree? Yeah, there. I pulled out my French book, since we had a test on Thursday and I didn't understand any word of the vocabulary we had. It was hard, okay? Well it still is!
After I finally started to focus, Dora and Alexis came and sat next to me. And you know how I told you that I started to focus? Yeah well all that was gone. I was not concentrating again. Damn.
Alexis and Dora started studying science, which by the way I so did not know we had science homework. Why do you French people do not help new students from another continent? I silently asked myself, still shocked that we have homework.
I know I sound like a nerd, but Nicholas I am one. You know, I am the kind of girl who would cry her eyes out if she got less than an A+ on an exam and would stay up all night studying to get good grades. And you know, when I went to France it was all different. Back in Lebanon, the teacher would write the whole lesson on the board and annoy our asses off till we study and keep repeating and telling us to take notes and- You kind of got the point. While in France, the teacher enters to the class, explains the lesson and gets out. No notes, no lesson, nothing; it was kind of a bit hard to get used to.
Anyway, Dora and Alexis were talking about the fight that Gotye got into with Sarah and how much they hate Sarah and stuff. You know, personally I got a little bit annoyed but covered it up. If you don't know what the fight was about, let me tell you; Sarah was playing badminton with Shaima and the ball hit the floor so Gotye – being the ass he is- came over and told Sarah to 'fuck off because she's a good for nothing loser' and well we both know Sarah and when she gets mad, world war III is coming.
"Hey Tala, do you like Shaima and the girls?" Alexis suddenly asked me. I thought about it for a second. You know, Shaima is a great girl. Well Sarah's nice too, not with everyone but she was always nice with me. And the others, I don't know them much. They are all kind to me so I didn't mind them.
"Uh yes." I answered him, biting my lip as I saw the awkward smile that traced their lips. Both of him and Dora. It was clear that they wanted to get away from me, and then I felt the familiar pang in my chest, that's why I quickly added, "I mean they are nice with me. Do you like them?"
Even though I knew the answer, I guess I just wanted to make a conversation. I didn't want them to think that I'm like Shaima and the clique, you know sure they are very kind with me and stuff but they still have their flaws.
