The REAL Chapter 4
Where was I supposed to go now?
I knew I had a problem with being left out and having a fear of being alone, even if it always looked like that was one of the things I loved most in the world. I felt the tears coming close to slipping out of my now blurred eyes. I was totally alone now, no one to help me. Then I heard a voice. It was calling my name. I scanned the room. I found Gabriella doing exactly what Sharpay was doing earlier, and was looking ridiculous. My eyes brought back the clearness that was its normal feature. It does that sometimes, when I am about to cry I only need someone or something to take the tears away. In this case, obviously, it was Gabriella. Thank the world of her.
When she saw that I saw her, and heard her, she waved me to come to her table. The people there were already laughing hysterically. When she saw that they were laughing she stopped and sat down which made me chuckle a bit. I recognized Troy, Taylor, and Chad but there was also two other guys and one girl. I walked over to the table and sat down. The blurriness came back again. This time it was because I was happy that I was no longer alone, I knew that I had other people that could help me. I was no longer helpless. Unfortunately, they thought that I was sad instead of happy. I knew this because they all had sympathetic looks on their faces.
"I am sorry that Sharpay is being hard on you. She's not usually that mean." One of the boys I did not recognize told me. I looked at him strangely. Sharpay did not look like one to be that nice. Then again, didn't the others say she was one of them? But then again, how was this guy, her boyfriend?
"Oh, Sari I forgot. This is Zeke, Sharpay's boyfriend" Gabriella said. There, that was the explanation I needed. I nodded but did not say a word.
"And this is Kelsi and Jason". Taylor introduced. "They're a couple". She whispered. I chuckled as I saw Kelsi and Jason blush. "Kelsi, Jason, Zeek, this is Sari. The one we've been telling you about." She told them about me? They were talking about me? I blushed.
"So, Sari, where did you come from?" Jason asked, putting an arm around Kelsi pulling her closer, telling me that they're a couple and did not want any problems.
"I am from New York. Just moved here about last week". I answered politely.
After that the guys talked to the guys, and the girls talked to the girls, while eating. I did not have a lot of friends at my old school just a handful and we loved talking. This was just like that. We talked and talked and they seemed to really like talking to me and to each other. It was nice to see that it wasn't as messed up as some friendships were in New York.
"You should really chat with us sometime". Kelsi suggested. This was followed by yes's from the Gabi and Taylor. I hesitated before answering. I had some pretty bad experiences with this.
"I don't know…" I said. "Don't worry, its totally safe" Gabi reassured me and they started on filling me up with the details. The pennames, and stuff. It turned out that they had their own chatroom that no one could get into without a password. You needed a registered penname, and practically no one knew about it. They gave me the password. And I agreed to chatting with them later, that night. And soon the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Everyone started to pack up their stuff and head out the door, where I was supposed to meet Ryan.
When we reached the door, I told them to go ahead and that Ryan was going to meet me there and go to our classes together. And then they left. I was alone again. Except I knew that was going to change really soon so nothing happened to my eyes. I waited for Ryan silently. I was happy to see Ryan walking towards me with a smile on his face, this made me smile too. "Ready to face the other half of the day?" he asked me. I nodded. Only if you're with me I thought. We started walking until I heard another voice, Sharpay's. What now? We turned around and Ryan grabbed my hand. "Ryan, what are you doing with her again?" she asked rudely. My jaw dropped and I tried to take my hand away but Ryan gripped tighter. How could she be so mean, not only to me but to he own brother. She faced me. "You could stay with my brother now, because I know you have no other friends to help you. But later" She pointed at me "Stay away from MY brother and MY friends" Her voice rising each time she said my, then walked away. The blurriness came back. I faced Ryan and looked at our hands, they were still attached, he released his grip as soon as he saw my eyes, they were wet. "No" I whispered, before running away crying.
Okay, I know its been long but here. I updated. YEY!!!
