I sat at my computer chatting in the chat room, talking to someone from school. Someone oblivious. Unknown. Hiding in the crowd, me, ignoring everyone around me. Usually people stare at me because I'm in the dance group 'The Emeralds', all popular girls are in it. They think I'm popular, but I have no friends at all. For hours and hours I and the unknown guy would be chatting. Finally he had to leave because his girlfriend came over his house. Someone to talk to I guess. No one really knows me except for him.
We had to go to school the next day, there I was again sitting on the hallway stairs pointing out who was staring at me. Some guy came to sit with me. Someone popular. Usually someone wants to talk to me, but I usually ignore them. Except for this guy. He seemed so familiar. I didn't know who he was of course.
"Hey LanaMaye" the popular guy said
"Hey, um, who are you?" I asked
"The guy you always talk to on the web." The popular guy said
"BRADIN!" His girlfriend yelled from a distance
"I gotta go" Bradin said frantically
"Okay" I whispered and smirked
I think he's stalking me or something. I'm always seeing him all over the place. It's like seeing the same black bird over and over again. It's a bit creepy. Imagine seeing those sunken eyes of a black bird. But instead of seeing the hypnotizing eyes you see Bradin's handsomeness. All is admiring him. No one knows him as much as I do. No one knows me as much as he does.
I was walking home with a car trailing behind me. Full of guys, that looks familiar, maybe from school. Drunk. Under the influence. Bradin got out of the car. Surprisingly he wasn't drunk. He knows already about the pain it might bring him. He told me.
"Lana, I know I shouldn't be riding with them, I'm gonna walk home with you, ok?" Bradin said
I knew I didn't have a choice.
"Okay, what do you want?" I asked
"Um, nothing, why?" he asked over my question
"Just why, why didn't you tell me about your popularity?" I complained
"I thought you knew who I was, and plus your popular too" he said
"No—no I didn't" I answered
"There's something I need—something you need to know" Bradin said hesitantly
"What, what is it?" I asked
