As I stepped into the school hallways, I couldn't believe how relieved I was to join the sea of rowdy, seemingly enormous students.
My eyes widened as they followed a huge looking jock pass me by; I shook my head in amazement at his rate of growth. I guess anything was better off than being in the company of that sectary, laughing her ass off at me.
I was so embarrassed that I grabbed a school map and my schedule blindly and flew out of there like a bat out of hell.
As soon as I was a safe distance away from the school office, I pulled out the schedule (which I had blindly grabbed from the sectary) from under my arm to check what my next class was. My eyes scanned down the periods swiftly, I did some mental calculation in my head.
It was third period now, and I was heading towards……lunch. Oh no.
My confidence in my decision to runaway from the mocking sectary, faltered as my eyes took in the sight before me, my feet slowed to a halt.
The hallways were still as crowded as ever, I had gotten used to that already. But it looked like it was my worst fears come true. I had just walked swiftly in the direction of lunch room. And guess what? I had no one to sit with.
The mass of crowd before me was terrifying. A long line of people queuing up to buy their food, long, disoriented brightly colored tables filled with people here and there. All packed into one tiny room.
I stood there flabbergasted.
No one took notice of the strange girl standing in the hallway with a slack jaw, of course. With exception of a curious glances or two, maybe. But nevertheless the idea of being out of place in a roomful of people my age was repulsive. I turned on my heel to leave.
Just then I heard a high soprano voice call out to me. At least, I thought it was me.
"Hey, are you new here?"
I turned swiftly around. The voice which had called out to me had belonged to a senior girl. And not just any ordinary senior girl, this senior girl was beautiful. Like Cosmo cover girl beautiful. Her beauty took a large hit to my already minuscule self esteem.
On top of that, I noticed her beautiful almond eyes were glaring at me, as though I were her arch enemy. I returned her glare with bewildered eyes. What had I done to offend her so? I hadn't even passed a day here.
She continued to glower at me wordlessly. The crowd in the cafeteria had noticed our staring spat and had stopped eating to stare in our direction. The senior girl turned her dirty blonde head towards an albino chick next to her and spoke.
"Ugh. What a retard. She can't even answer me. "
She spoke to her friend, as though I wasn't even there. I was outraged. What a bitch. I glared back her now, I was surprised she hadn't just shriveled up and died under the wrath of my silent fury. I clenched my fist, under my skin stretched white over my knuckles. No, I can't get into a fight on first day here. Mom would be upset. I bit on my lip, in an attempt to calm myself.
"Look I don't have time for retards, Get. Out. Of. My Way. "
She spoke each syllable slowly. My blood boiled. I closed my eyes. Keep calm keep calm, don't let her get the better of you. I repeated these words to myself.
I guess I really lost it when she attempted to push past me nonchantly.
"What a retard ," were her last words, before my fists, whom seemed to have a mind of their own , grabbed hold locks of her dirty blonde hair and tugged.
