School Of The Unsolved

You Can't Sit With Us

"come here!!" yelled a voice from behind me. I didn't want to turn around. I knew who was behind me and I couldn't look any of them in the eyes. My mind would continue to wander back to me and the boy's awkward exchange and the girl giving me the evil eye. Not to mention how much he looked like he cared for the other boy.

I mean the curly-haired boy was cute. He had a good jawline and his teeth were really bright. His smile was really bright. He probably used crest whitening strips. I wanted nothing to do with that. I wanted nothing to do with the comparing that came with it. Nothing.

I looked at Blair who seemed to be ignoring the voice. Ignoring was one of her many talents. I had known who the voice was but I still didn't want to turn around. I was afraid I would turn to see a large group judgementally staring at me. I hated being judged I thought I was pretty cute so anything other then that was pretty offensive to me.

"Your brother doesn't seem to like you," said a voice from behind. This time it wasn't Josie. It was somebody from the group.

I wished I had Blair's superpower of ignoring. I just couldn't help myself. People were trying to talk to me and it felt wrong not responding. I slowly turned around and came in contact with exactly what I had expected.

Josie sat with the group who had been staring both me and Blair down. My eyes ran through the line-up. Most of them were looking at me kindly except for the girl of course. Even my one-second love interests....love interest was looking at me nicely. But the truth was all I could pay attention too was the brown-haired boy and his soft eyes. He showed off the smile I had just been fawning over and motioned for me to join the group.

I turned to Blair who had still been playing the ignoring game. I didn't want to leave her but how could pass up the opportunity to sit next to someone that cute. Even if I had no chance I might as well have put myself off the map. Things couldn't go that bad.

I began to pick my legs up from under the table. I wondered how Josie managed to garner up friends so fast. I figured no one here was like her but I guess I was wrong.

My mind went back to Kennedy. I hadn't seen her since the morning. I began scanning the room In hopes of making sure she was ok. Even though she was always doing the most she was still my sister and I would kill for her. My eyes wandered to the group I had been with earlier. They had probably been the loudest in the room. I watched as Kennedy tried to get a word in but the group wouldn't let her. It wasn't like they were being mean she was just being excluded and no one noticed.

Her tired eyes met mine. I figured she had gotten tired of trying to fit in with people that weren't like her. I motioned for her to come and hang out with people who actually knew her. Her family.

The girl quickly left the table as if she had been waiting to do it since she sat down. My eyes turned back to the group as I finally reached their table. My hands began to shake as I got closer. Having all eyes on you was never fun.

The group began to loudly welcome me to the table motioning for me to sit down. I could lie it did ease my mind and it did calm me down that didn't last very long.

"don't think that's a good idea" scoffed the girl who had been giving me a dirty look. I mean what did I expect. It was obvious she didn't like me so this wasn't very surprising. But the truth was she didn't know me. She didn't know who I was or what I was capable of. If I didn't have morals that would've been a huge mistake.

"really?" I laughed as I raised an eyebrow "is that your first impression?". I had been lucky I was raised around girls my mind had been quick when it came to coming up with comebacks. The girl's eyes stared me down as if she wanted to mentally eliminate me. Too bad I didn't believe in those things.

"I'm not trying to me mean it anything. We just don't know you and it would be for the better if we keep to ourselves" said the girl as she tried to cover up her remark. I was about to talk when someone joined the conversation.

"you don't know him??? You also don't know me!" Josie stated as she got up from the table. I should've known the girl wouldn't have been able to stop herself. Getting into issues had been Josie's middle name and just because these were her friends that didn't make any difference.

" I was just saying" said the girl as she licked her phone up and removed herself from the conversation. The one that she started. I already knew from that moment on this girl would be a problem. My eyes shot back to Josies who had a look of anger that was slowly simmering down.

"sit," said Josie as she pointed to the seat next get her. Her eyes didn't leave the girl who didn't have the guts to look away from her phone. I knew sitting would mean that we had won but at the same time. Sitting would also mean I would have to be in the midst of this awkward mess. My mind began to go back and forth between the two options. I would have absolutely no fun at all. I would also have no fun quietly sitting with Blair.

Also, I loved to win.
