When I got to school the next day I saw Jason waiting for me at the door.


"Good Morning!"- He greets when I get close enough to him

"Morning! How are you?"

"Good! I'm excited for the day, actually!"

"Are you kidding me? Who's excited for school??!"- I exclaim

"Apparently, me"- He says smiling down at me since he was much taller than me.


We walk into the school halls and everybody stops what they were doing to stare at us.


"Why is everyone staring?"- Jason whispers to me

"Ignore them... You get used to it."- I answer him with a shrug


Just as I stop talking, I find Ryan looking and coming our way, so I hid myself behind Jason. He turns around to look at me, -with a confused expression- seeing me shaking my head, before turning back around to stare at Ryan.


"Jason! My man! It has been too long!"- Ryan exclaims giving Jason a 'man hug'

"Hey dude"- Jason greets back


After they greet each other, I leave my place from behind Jason to leave this reunion but I didn't succeed because Ryan saw me.


"Wait up! You know this bitch?!"- Ryan asks confused.

"That bitch has a name"- I try to stand up for myself.


Key word: Try


"Look who you are talking to"- He says growls at me. "I am still waiting for your answer"- He continues, this time staring at Jason

"She's my neighbor"- Jason explains with his eyebrows pulled together. in a confused manner

"Just be careful with her"- Ryan warns and leaves us be.

"I will see you later"- I say to Jason right after Ryan is far away and go to my first class.


I never enjoyed being the center of attention,- still don't...- Honestly, it is as if am burning and the air gets awkward.

It might be my worst nightmare.

So when I am put into that position I just want to run away and scream, probably cry and have a panic attack.

Trying to distract myself from the possibility of losing a friendship when it didn't even start- because of Ryan-, I take out my notebook and start writing/ drawing random things.

Like always, when the bell rung through the school, I was the last one to leave so that nobody could see me and went to my spot, which was at the back of the school, where it was like a forest since the school was located on a mountain.

Stepping out of the school grounds and to the grass, I found the place deserted, just how I like it.

I found a good spot and laid down and that's when all the thoughts came to me.

This is the place where I go to when I'm in a bad day and just want to be peaceful.That usually means that the next time that anybody sees me, the whispers and the bullying/bad mouths are going to be worse... But somehow I crave for these moments of peace and don't care about the consequences.

And I think that that is the worst part...

I just don't care anymore.

With that said, I wasn't even surprised when I didn't hear the bell ring for the next class, or that I was, in fact, 15 minutes late to it.

When I realized the time, I sped off to class, for the second time in two days.

When I reach the door, I knock.

It opened a few seconds later, to the teacher staring at me with 'you are a burden' all over her face.


"I am so so sorry! I have problems at home, and I couldn't not miss this call"- I make up an excuse, that wasn't even a complete lie.


I did have problems at home.


"C'mon teacher! You can't believe that obvious lie!"- A guy in the class immediately yells.

"Don't step on my fucking business"- I retort.

"Seriously, again?"- The teacher rolls her eyes at us.


I apologize and go straight to my seat when she lets me pass her.
