"Footballers wear helmets for protection, to cover their face, to protect their thoughts. You wear yours to protect you from me."
"That's not true and you know it T, your my best friend. Why would I need protection?"
"Just keep playing your stupid game and I'll keep hiding in your shadow, how its always been."
"What's that supposed to mean T? I have to go, I hope you feel better."
As his back receded, I realised, his helmet protected him from anymore of my drunken edged kisses and I was stuck in the friend zone again...

Theadora is a nobody stuck in the background: at school, in her family and even in relationships, unable to escape her predetermined state. She has one year to go until university and she is tired of being stuck in the friend zone, forced into a boxed stereotype by the populars, and in being everyone's last choice.

I got the idea from a tweet I read on smoshs website. I hope you like it :)
