That Girl
I don't know why I was attracted to those pieces of deep friend trash in the first place, they taste like someone pooped some kind of bland gooey filling into a crispy casing. But it tasted so good, it distracted me from me and Kurt's friendship; how the situation was making us drift even further apart.
It started off subtly. We would sit by different people in glee club; hang out with different people, IM each other put when we used webcam become quiet. It hurt when he started going out more with Blaine, cancelling our pre-arranged 'dates' and texting him during algebra instead of passing notes to me. He closed me out of his life, instead of sharing every juicy detail. Unbeknown to him, when I got home I cried my eyes out, thinking that if I kept crying I would be sick, but I didn't care. What was the point when my best friend wasn't there for me anymore? Life seemed pointless.
I thought it would be ok when he invited me out to Breadsticks with Blaine. But, to be honest, it was nothing like our usual get together. Within the first two minutes, I had zoned out. In fact, I was so deluded to me they were saying "Gay, gay, gay, gay" and "Oh my god, a little purse just fell out of my mouth. How did it get in there?" What... the... hell Mercedes! I smiled my 'I got a solo' smile and tried to join in with their conversations but it was obvious that Kurt was in love with him and I was the third wheel. "Hey I know they're not on the menu but by any chance have you got any tots?" I asked. Kurt glared at me, I knew that look. The look from when we were on the Cheerios. I don't know why. He hated my guts for that, I knew that much at least.
The next day at school I met Kurt up at his locker. And for once, he actually smiled back when I smiled. "Guess what I got?" he came and peered closer, smiling "Tots!" his smile changed to a frown. "Mercedes, after what you did to Sue's Le Car yesterday, she is going to send you to prison!" he yelped. What?
"Who cares? You know what they have at prison... Tots!" I said, a little defeated.
"Mercedes, you are substituting food for love. And most importantly, me for a boyfriend. You will find someone. I mean look at me, two weeks ago," and he went on at me about self respect and Blaine and one day. But what about now? What about what's going on right now? Our friendship. I smiled and heard myself say I was going to talk to that guy Kurt had set me up with during lunch. But instead I went to sit by myself in the lunch hall. No one was their, they were all outside because it was hot that da because it was hot that day. I was not only an outcast to Kurt anymore, but to everyone. I was the girl who jammed Sue's car tail. I was the one who had obsessed over tater tots because she was missing her friend. I was that girl.
