Chapter 2: Inevitable truths... and lies

This is soo horrible. I've had the absolute worst weeks of my life... I've never experienced anything like this. This is so bad. I haven't been able to sleep, or eat, or think, or anything.

RAY IS NOT GAYY!

Problem #1:

Anyway, it turned out that Salema and Miriam spread this rumor about me going out with this guy that's supposed to have herpes or something and having rabies or some sort illness that have something to do with animals but still

Those two are THE bitchiest sluts in the WHOLE school.

I was walking down the hallway during lunch one day then this dude I've never seen in my life before comes up to me and says,"Hey there, 's'it true?" Then I'm saying something like, "Uhh.. What's true?" He, being the complete nut-head, thought he was so hot at that moment that he could do anything...

"Wanna go out? Friday night?"

I swear to God that boy was stupid. Completely useless. Hell NO! and I say it in his face too.

"HELL NO, YOU F. R. E. A.K."

But I don't think it got to his brain though, he is pretty slow. Can't expect a slow person to understand completely what I had just said rightt? Because then, he's all...

"I know you think I'm sexy..."

All right let me get this cleared up. His nose takes up about 3/4 of his face.. and somewhere in that mess... can I see his two eyes on polar ends of the earth, north and south, and I can almost make out a mouth. Oh wait no I don't even know what the hell that was.

I'm silent, staring his mistake of a face trying to rearrange my words so even stupid here can understand. But all comes out is

". . . . Hello Mr.Fuugly."

He looks behind to see as if I was talking to a person behind him. But no one's there except that pretty blue-haired girl and Kai Hiwatari walking down the hall, laughing. They pass me by and she smiles, "Nicee.." while Kai rolls his eyes. Hahaha I can almost laugh.

Then Mr. Fuugly finally realizes that I'm talking to him and gets all mad. Goodness he's slow. But even if he is slow, he's pretty strong. You know, like how all stupid people make up their dumbness with being unnaturally strong... yeah.. like that. He grabbed me by the waist and pushed me to the wall. It was disgusting... I could see all the mucus in his nose and ewwww... and random vegetable from last night's dinner... AHAHAHAHAH it looked like a donkey.

Next thing I knew, he was trying to kiss me... YUCK.

"Get away from m-" but his got his hand covering my mouth... I could see all the nasty soil... is that ant?

"Don't say a word and you won't get hurt. Just go out with me on Friday ok?"

All right... this dude pissed me off. Who did he think he was.. Nasty boy with random things all over his body. I really am starting to wonder what's in his mouth. Never mind I don't really want to know.

Then I bit his disgusting palm and ran for it. Leaving the screams of pain behind me as I ran down the hall, spitting out the ant.

Next day I figured out that he was in the hospital with some kind of infection on his hand. Well, what can you expect.. With all that nasty stuff on his hand, who knows what kind of disease he contracted.. I washed my mouth like 50 times after I bit him.. but yeah. Then my 2 oh-so-beloved friends, Miriam and Salema, found out the story and spread rumors about me having rabies.

Anyway...

RAY IS NOT GAAAYYY!

Right..ok..

Problem # 2

Remember the psychotic perverts in my calculus class...? They all ganged up on me and were irritating me about the rumor and they wouldn't stop... Really.. They couldn't stop talking making cat calls and noises that sounded like a constipated dog... Yes. It went on for about a week and after they threw a gumwad at me, I threatened to bite and staple their noses. Yeah they shut-up after that. But everybody now knows about Mariah's special disease.

RAY IS NNNNOOOOOOOOOTTTT GAY!

Damn it... I'm soo pissed. This is soo horrible.. Right now, I'm just trying to find my way to the cafeteria... Ooo..look! It's Mr. Fuugly! I must say hi and congratulate him on leaving the hospital successfully. He comes up to me as I try to continue walking away. Ewww... Damn. That donkey-shaped vegetable is still there? Ah crap. I wonder how old that thing really is? It can't be last week's dinner anymore...I mean. I'm starting to think it's about a few months now. Maybe I should introduce him to the concept of blowing-your-nose...

OH Shit.

He's got all this friends there with him. He doesn't look too happy, either.

Oooooo Hello Mr. Human Body Smell. He needs a deodorant.. Hey there Sumo-san. Yes I'm talking about a FAT boy.

"What'd you call me?"

Shit. I really got to stop talking to myself.

Mr. Fuugly calmly looks at me as his crew of human disgraces surround me. "Hey... remember me? Mr. Fuugly?"

Oh he really does have a brain.

"Don't come near me...I don't want to touch your nasty vegetable." I really don't.

He freezes and looks around, "Where? I don't see a carrot." His crew looks around confused. "Me.. neither." I swear, that is one of the stupidest boys. After a while he turns to me, flaming mad. Crap. This isn't funny anymore.

I look at his hand.

Fuck! It's an ant colony.

He takes a step towards me and as his cronies grab my arms, he raises his hand and prepares to slap me when,

"YO! 'The hell's going on?"

I look up and I see that pretty blue-haired girl. She stands frozen in the middle of the hallway, seemingly shocked.

"You aren't in this. Leave and you won't get hurt." Mr. Fuugly says, roughly, trying to threaten her.

She blinks, and looks ataken back. I have a feeling he might have scared her just right. Poor girl. Don't listen to that big bully over there... Wait I"m the one just about to be pummeled.

She blinked again and came back to reality. Walking over to him, she looked at him, up and down. Gosh he's like a giant compared to her.

"Are you trying to threaten me?" she started. Wait there's something wrong. She's small and petite but what is this strange look on her face. It's kind of scary. I see the big asshole take a step back. Ahahahaha he's intimidated.

"Are you trying to scare me?"

She's circling around him slowly now. Everyone watches in silence as she looks up and down him again, eyes cold and irritated.

Finally Mr. Fuugly realizes that she's about half his size and thinks he could intimidate her again.

"Yeah, bitch. What do you want?"

BAM! There's goes his nose. Ahahah he's kneeling and doubling over in pain. She grabs him by the hair, and faces him up to her, "What's that you called me?"

She slapped him, "Go clean yourself, you stink like human waste."

She turned and gave the other two guys holding me a look. Damn it was scary, seriously. They ran for it and she smirks. "Heh. Losers." Then she faced me, and for a second I thought she was going to hit me but she helped pulled me to my feet.

I took the chance to get a good look at her. She's a bit smaller than me and she is really petite. But she's really pretty. I could see that every feature was angled properly and delicate lined..

"Thanks." I say. Nodding..

"No problem. Hey.. could you do me a favour?"

OH nooo... She's expecting a return favour. For a beauty, she's really conceited...

She laughed a bit. "NO... not a return favour. I just don't know where the caf. is"

Crap. I said that out loud... AGAIN. "I'M SO SORRY! I didn't mean it. I 'll show you right away." and I lead her to the caf.

It's pretty silent between us and I'm getting really nervous. I glance over to her, she doesn't seem to mind though. I think she likes being quiet. But I can't stand it.

"I'm Mariah. I"m sorry for what I called you earlier. I really should be thankful instead."

She looks at me confused, "You called me something?"

Wait... maybe I didn't say the whole thing out loud. That's good. Better not tell her...

"Nothing.."

"Ok... Oh I'm Airina."

Airina... pretty name. Hey there's the caf.

"Well.. here it is!" I look at her, and she smiled, "Thanks for leading me here.. I was really lost."

I shake my head, "No.. thank you for saving me from Mr. Fuugly."

She laughs. But turns to me..

"Do you have anyone to sit with at lunch?"

Oh... great.. She thinks I'm a loner. Look. Just because I got ditched by the only two people I've ever known for my whole life... Doesn't mean I'm friendless. Of'course it meant a lot of lonely lunches and quiet nights from NO phone calls compared to middle school. But I'm not a loner..almost.

"Umm... not really." I say hesitantly. Why would she ask anyway..

"Wanna come sit with me and my friends?"

Damn... This girl is new and already has friends. I really must be a social reject. Like FAIL with flying colours in the social arena. I feel like such a loser... But this girl just made me feel tens time worse about it..

"Do you? It's ok, if you don't.."

Cross that out. 100 times worse is closer. I feel stupid. I've been in this school longer than her, and I'M being invited to sit with her at lunch... Damn it you're supposed to do that with new students. NOT the other way around.

"Ok...if you and your friends don't mind..."

I can not believe I just said that.

Well, maybe her friends aren't so bad... Maybe they aren't complete bitches. OH SHIT! What if her friends are Salema and Miriam. OH NO! She WAS talking to them in Calculus.. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.

This is bad! Salema and Miriam. I feel funny. My stomach feels like I swallowed an eraser... and a ruler, and a pencil...you know what? Possibly my whole locker.

"Don't worry.. My friends aren't crazy."

Oh. OH! That's good. No more Salema and Miriam. Good. I'm happy. Her friends eh? Uummmm. Maybe they're just like her.. That's good. Airina's nice enough.

We entered the cafeteria and out of nowhere comes

"AIRINAAA!"

Her head shoots in the direction of the sound. To the left of us, I see a really cute blonde boy, waving to us from his seat in the corner table with a bunch of friends around him. The others wave at her.

"HIIIIIII SEXXXXXYYYYYY!"

Buddy.. I think she saw you. But Oh.my.God. that's a lot of friends she has. I am not good with people. I'm a shy person. OK! Fine...I admit.. I'M A SOCIAL DISGRACE! How the hell am I going to get through this?

She looks back at me and smiles a bit.

"Those are my friends. OH!" she adds, after sensing my little despair, "Don't worry, they're really nice. Well... some of them" she mutters aside.

That makes me feel better...

Now, if I can just concentrate on my breathing and not hyperventilate... that'll be just great.

"Hey there!" a blonde boy says, "Who's she? She's cute!"

Cute...

I look back to see if he was talking to someone else. But he laughs, "Yes! You with pink hair."

Pink hair... pink hair.. I don't see anyone with pink hair...

Wait..I have pink hair..

"Oh! Hi.."

The blonde smiles, "I'm Max. Nice to meet youuuu!" he then jumps up to shake my hand. All the while smiling and giggling.

That's one hyper dude...

"That's Tyson in the hat...Hilary with brown hair.. Vivien with red hair...let's see who else.. Oh! That's Leena with purple highlights and blonde hair..."

This Max explained everything to me.. But that Leena girl... she didn't look too happy to see me. Suddenly she shoots me a glare. Uh... what'd I do...?

"Psstt!"

Hello Max... anything else more to say?

"If Leena's glaring at your direction.. it's not at you. Her and Airina don't get along..."

I look at Airina, who ignored Leena's glare, and settled herself down beside Vivien. Looking up at me, she raises her eyebrows.

"You gonna sit...?" She signaled to the chair beside her.

OK! SUREEE! I sit myself down beside her.. Max following me, and sits down to my right, and starts stroking my hair with his index finger, smiling maniacally..

"Soooooo sooofttt..."

He isn't a pervert... right?

"Hey.."

Wait...

"Who's this?"

O. My. God.

Airina looks up,

"A friend of mine..."

Slowly I turn around.

"Oh! Hello! Who are you?"

OH. MY. GOD.

RAAAYYYy is talking to meeeeee!
