I sat there eating lunch by myself. That's what usually happened, the new kid sat by themselves until someone decided to want to be friends. I just know that everybody was staring at me, I could feel it. Have they never seen a bald girl before?
"Hey Steph, how's the first day so far?" John sat across from me.
"Hey John. The usual, nobody wants to talk to me, since I'm the new kid"
"Ya, well you'll have that" he said as he took a bite of his pizza.
"But it sucks" I said as I opened my milk. "Do people here have a staring problem?" I asked, noticing that people were still staring.
"Why?"
"Everybody is staring. Why else would I ask that?"
"Well, they're staring now cause I'm sittin with ya" John commented
"You think so?" I asked, thinking it was just John's cockiness.
"Look out the corner of your right eye at that group of girls. Do you see how jealous they look?" So I looked and John was right. All 5 of those girls looked at me with looks that could kill; you would have thought that I just stole their boyfriends from them.
"Have you been with either of those chicks?"
"Them? No, those are the girls that have been with half the guys in this school. I stay away from them. They always try though" John stated
"I gotta ask… Why do you like girls to swoon over you?"
"Well… I never told Randy this. Hell, I've never told anybody"
"So you don't want me to say anything?" I understood
"Please?"
"Alright"
"Well, I actually hate it. I can't stand it. That's just how people expect me to be. So that's how I am" John said, he really looked upset about it.
"If that's not how you wanna be, then why be like that?"
"Cause I'm not like you or Randy. I care about what people think of me"
"But you shouldn't John. You're a real good looking guy, you're in great shape. There's no reason why you should care" I was honest with him. Then he had this look of realization on his face.
"It's so easy to talk to you" he said and smiled
"Thanks" I nodded and smiled back.
"And you're right. I shouldn't care, I'm not gonna care what people think of me anymore" John stated confidently
"I know I'm right" I smirked "And good for you, I'm glad"
"Thanks Steph, I'm getting a ride home, so I won't be on the bus. I'll see ya in the morning" John said and got up.
"Alright, see ya John" I stated as he left the table. First day and I'm changing people already. Now I don't think that anybody should change for anyone but it's different in this case. In my opinion; I don't think that people should care about what others think of them. Case in point, here is a quote by Dr. Seuss that is very true :) 'Say what you want and do what you feel, cause those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind'
A/N: SO THERE IS CHAPTER 2, LIKE I SAID, IT'S TOO SHORT. I DON'T REALLY LIKE WRITING SHORT CHAPTERS BUT YET THE NEXT 2 ARE KINDA SHORT TOO, GO FIGURE. ANYWAYS, READ ON :D
