Rae POV:

The realization that I had made no friends except for Zane hit me more than any other realization out there.

Before, when I would walk through the halls, people would either ignore me or stare at me. Now, they just give me sad looks, and part like the red sea.

Nobody dares talk to me anymore.

Well, not after the whole Alexandria thing, anyways.

*Flashback.*

I close my locker and turn to walk to my classroom, but there's somebody in my way, "Rae... Can we talk?"

I give Alexandria a dirty look before sidestepping her and trying to walk away.

"Rae," She grabs my arm and spins me around, "Seriously, I miss him just as much as you do."

That. Bitch. Did. Not. Just. Go. There. "YOU TREATED HIM LIKE SHIT!" I scream into her face, "You didn't give a shit about that boy and we both know it! You cheated on him, stepped all over him, gave him hope only to have it ripped out from under him!" People were staring at me, but I didn't care. "You need to stop living in a fantasy land." My eyes bore into hers with a scowl on my face, "As much as you'd like to think that everything revolves around you, it doesn't. Nobody likes your stupid slutty ass." I take a step toward her, "I don't give a fuck how long you and Zane were together. You don't even deserve to say his name!"

Alexandria's eyes are bulging out of her skull, but she still manages to look like a lost puppy, "I-i--"

"Sh-sh-shut the fuck up."

Her jaw drops and I raise an eyebrow, "You're going to walk away, you're never going to speak of my boyfriend again, and you're never going to speak to me again, period."

Alexandria nods her head, "I will rip you to shreads like a rag doll. I let you win last time, and took my punishment." I narrow my eyes, "You're an only child, and I was brought up with a state-wrestling champion brother that liked to practice his moves on me."

I side step her one more time and start to walk away, this time, she doesn't argue or try to turn me around.

She just lets out a small squeak and starts to cry.

*End flashback*

I feel somebody grab my arm and spin me around, "Hey."

I raise an eyebrow at the girl, "I don't remember your name."

The girl with the long brown hair and the monroe piercing lets out a small chuckle, "Veronica."

I nod my head and mutter, "Veronica..."

"Yeah..."

"Need something, or are you just holding onto my arm for fun?"

She quickly lets go of my arm and scratches at the back of her neck, "I'm sorry for what happened in class... And for what happened with your boyfriend."

I feel something tugging at my heart... I will not cry, damnit. I. Will. Not. Cry. "Yeah..."

"I know that you don't have many friends," She looks down at her shoes, "And nobody really wants to be friends with Alexandria," She looks back at me and hands me a small slip of paper, "If you ever need a friend, you can always call me." She gives a small smile, "And even if you want to, you can come and sit with me and my friends at lunch."

Why am I finding this offer rather... Good? I know this girl is a bitch, but hell, maybe I need some bitchy friends. "You're not going to cut off my hair in my sleep, when I sleep over, are you?"

She lets out a small laugh and rolls her eyes, "I may be a bitch but I'm not crazy."

For the first time in weeks I actually do it... I smile, "I would really like to be your friend, Veronica."

"Really?"

I nod my head and tuck the piece of paper into my breast pocket, "Really really."

*RINNNNNNGGGGG*

"I've got to go, but find me at lunch, okay?" She smiles.

I salut her, "See you there."

We go our separate ways but I feel myself start to feel a little bit better.

A little bit more whole. Zane would like this.
