If You Can Call it Life

The bell rings.
I don't want to go to my next class.
Gym class.
The gym class from hell.
I just know that everyone will laugh at me. Lita will call me weak.
And then I'll run crying to the locker rooms.
And I'll run into Darien.
And he'll laugh at me, and call me a crybaby.
Which will make me angry, so I won't be paying attention, and I'll run into Mina and her friends, and one of them will trip me
And I'll fall.
And they'll laugh. Mina will call me klutzy.
And I'll be so cautious of how I walk so I don't trip and fall, and I'll walk into English class and end up failing my test.
And everyone will laugh. And Ami will call me stupid.
And I'll be so concerned with how I talk around people, afraid of sounding dumb, and I'll end up coming off as stuck up.
And Raye will be rude to me. And she won't be my friend.
Well, ready for gym class.
And here I am, after gym class, hiding in a corner with my diary, hoping and praying I won't run into Mina and her friends.
Because I already ran into Darien. And today, instead of crybaby, he called me a bitchy freshman baby.
Haha.
Not funny.
At all.
So I crawl out of my little cubby hole, looking, waiting, afraid.
Molly's not here.
She said she'd be down in a minute.
That's what you get when you have a 'best friend' who's 'too cool' for you.
I could be cool.
Ha.
No I couldn't.
So I walk slowly to English class, dreading a pop quiz that I know will take Ami 5 seconds to finish and me 50 minutes.
But when I get there, someone has taken my seat.
So what do I do?
Ami waves at me and calls me over.
'I saved you a seat'.
Why?
Did she have something evil planned?
Was she trying to be nice?
Did she want to be friends?
I am thinking too hopefully?
I go sit down and stare at her.
She smiles at me then listens to the teacher.
Is she really nice?
Or is she trying to stay face for the rest of the class?
Hmmmm….
At lunch I walk into the cafeteria.
Raye already has several people sitting with her, so there is no way in hell I'm going over there.
I see Ami eating lunch by herself.
She waves me over and smiles.
I walk over.
But I don't smile.
Cause this isn't real.
But it is.
So I sit down, and we talk about class.
That's when her friends come over.
Lita, the girl from gym class.
Mina and her groupies.
And I stand up to leave, but I don't go far because Mina's friend Brock trips me and I fall on my face and my lunch flies all over me.
And they laugh.
And I run.
