Insecure

let's be friends

Isabelle pov:

   This guy is crazy.

It doesn't matter how attractive he is, I can see a creep from a mile away. I know I might eat alone but that doesn't mean I'm lonely. There might have been a time when it stung to not have friends, but I've gotten used to it and I'm not about to change now. So when I have a guy crossing boundaries that shouldn't be crossed, I get a little ticked off.

" let's be friends." Seth says with a stupid grin on his face. I refuse. I can not... no I will not be dragged down by this guy.

I grin right back at him and utter the words that smack that pathetic smile off his face. " No."

His smile falters for a second before he puts an even bigger one on. I literally want to drag his face through the mud. Can't he tell that I don't want any company?

He puts his hands down on the table and squares his shoulder. Oh boy.

" Well, that wasn't what I expected." He says. I bet it wasn't. I'm not a pity case. I exhale through my nose trying to calm myself down. If I relax he'll leave eventually.

"I'm not leaving till you agree to be friends with me." He crosses his arms. I feel my left eye twitch.

This guy is so annoying. Calm down, if I say yes he'll leave.

" Fine, but don't expect much." I spit out.

"Okay, but don't expect too little." He winks while getting up from the table and walking over to a group of people at another table.

The rest of lunch is filled with me peacefully eating my sandwhich and getting occasional glares from the cheerleaders three tables down. They don't bother me during lunch. Too many witness' and I'm not worth ruining their spot on reputations of being perfect angles. When in reality they're just a bunch of dirty whores.

I hear the stories they tell eachother. They should watch what they say in public cause that can really come back to bite them in the butt. I just wish I had the courage to stand up to them, but when ever I'm around them I become this insecure freak show that doesn't know left from right. I guess I have social anxiety, but I just learn to deal with it. They've never physically hurt me. It's just words. All I have to do is get through their practices and I'm home free.

    

      I'm still trying to figure out what Seth's deal is. Is he genuinely trying to be my friend or is he just playing with me? The bell for the end of lunch rings through the cafeteria, prompting everyone to go to their sixth period. I get up to throw my trash away when I catch the eye of some blonde chick eyeing me.

She's clinging onto Seth like lint on clothes. She smirks at me, giving me a once over and laughs when she is finished. She turns back to hear what ever Seth is saying. I swear I can practically see her eyes twinkling at him. I have a bad feeling about her. I glare at Seth, I knew associating with him was a bad idea. Not even thirty minutes later and I've already created another enemy. No point in crying over it.  I leave and head towards my next class in hopes that focusing on my AP calculus work will distract me.

    I'm in the bathroom washing my hands when the doors burst open. The same blonde chick from earlier strolls over to my sink and stands behind me. I turn the facet off and turn to face her but I have to look up because she looks like she's 5'7 and I'm only 5'3.

   She crosses her arms and wrinkles her noise in a disgusted manner. " What's your deal with Seth?" I knew she was jealous. I straighten my back to look stronger. " Why do you want to know?" She is a little taken back from my answer, but quickly recovers and pushes my back hard against the sink. I hiss in pain.
