" And why do you care about them for?" he asked.

Words caught on my tongue, yet they didn't want to come out. I couldn't form a string of words to become a sentence. I couldn't say " I'm the school's nerd, the one everyone picks on, just because I'm me. I hate being me. "

Truth be told, I'm not beautiful, that's what everyone tells me, that I'm not beautiful physically, in appearance. Yeah, I don't have the prettiest eyes, or the cutest smile, or a gorgeous body, but I have a heart, great personality (that's what I think at least), and intelligence. I'm beautiful in my heart and intelligence but appearance, never, I'll never be beautiful in appearance.

" Well? "

" T-they're staring at me, I don't like being st-stared at. " I said

" Is it always this lonely in this table? " he asked.

" Y-yes, nobody sits here but me. " I said looking at him playing with his food.

" U-um, what's your name? " I asked

" My name is Gregory, but you can call me Greg. " he said taking a bite off his burger.

" Nice to meet you, G-greg. "

" The pleasure is all mines. " he said as he extended his hand towards me.

" Shake my hand, silly. " he said smiling. I took his hand and shook it awkwardly.
