I woke up to my radio playing 'Loser like me' by the Glee Cast. As I sat up bed, I started singing along with the music through my tears. 'Loser like me' was mine and my best friend Ken's song. It described to two of us perfectly.

Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your month
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

I got up and walked over to my closet.

Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car

I pulled out a dark green leather vest, a black t-shirt with a silver eagle on it, and black skinny jeans and quickly changed into them.

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

After I changed, I grabbed my silver brush off my dresser and brushed it through my gold tipped black hair (yes it's natural).

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me

I set my brush back down on my dresser and reached up and fixed the dog tags that were around my neck. I almost never took them off.

Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are

I picked my black knee-high high top converse up off of the floor and pulled them on.

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

I grabbed my silver and black backpack out of my desk chair and stuffed some clothes in it for the show my band was putting on later.

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (a loser like me)
A loser like me (a loser like me)
A loser like me

I wiped my tears away as I walked out of my room.

When I got downstairs, I found my Aunt Abby making breakfast. I walked over to the counter and made myself a plate of the pancakes that Aunt Abby had just made. "Morning, honey," she said cheerfully. "Morning," I said as I poured some maple syrup over my pancakes. I ate my breakfast in silence while Aunt Abby ranted about some guy she was dating.

"That's great, Auntie," I said as I stood up and put my dishes in the sink, "but I gotta get going before Armin and Alexy leave me." "Ok, sweetheart, have a good day," she said, waving to me as I grabbed my bag and ran out of the door.

"Bye," I called over my shoulder. I saw my neighbors and band mates, Armin and Alexy, sitting in their jeep fighting, as always. "Give me back my Game Boy," Armin shouted at Alexy. "No, not until you give my Nintendo back," Alexy yelled back. They didn't notice me hop into the back of the jeep until I Gibbs slapped both of them in the back of their heads. "Now are you two done bickering like a married couple?" I asked, leaning forward in between them. They both glared at each other before nodding. "Good. Now let's get to school before we're late," I said. On the way to school, Armin, Alexy, and I chatted about new songs I'm working on and a new video game that's coming out in a couple months.

When we got to the school, Armin parked and I hopped over the side and the twins slipped out of the front sit. I followed the still arguing Armin and Alexy into the courtyard and over to where Castiel and Lysander were talking. "Hey Cas. Hey Lys," I said, stepping around Armin and Alexy's arguing forms. "Hey, Raya," Castiel said, putting his arm around shoulders. "Good morning, Zenraya. What are they fighting about this time?" Lysander asked, motioning to where the twins were fighting. "Armin stole Alexy's Nintendo again so Alexy stole Armin's Game Boy," I answered. "Not again," Castiel complained. Before I could answer, the first bell rang.

"Should we tell them?" Lysander asked as him, Castiel, and I headed to our first classes, Lysander's being math with Mr. Sullivan and Castiel and mine's being Language Arts with Mrs. Anderson. "Why not? You want to do the honors, Raya?" Castiel asked, smirking. "Sure," I said, stopping and turning around towards the bickering forms of Armin and Alexy. I held up the Nintendo and Game Boy I had swiped when the twins weren't paying attention.

"Yo! Alexy! Armin!" I shouted across the courtyard to them, "Missing something?" "My Nintendo/My Game Boy!" they shouted in union, running over to me and grabbing their game systems from me. This made both me and Castiel laugh because they looked like little kids on Christmas. "Come on you two, we need to get to class," Lysander said, walking inside of the school. I followed him inside and we each went our separate ways.

-La time skip brought to you by S.C.H.O.O.L. (Seven Crappy Hours Of Our Lives) -

It was after school and me and the guys were just hanging out in the basement before the show. "I'm going to go get ready for the show," I stated as I stood up and headed for the door. "I suggest we do the same. The show does start in half an hour," Lysander said. "What only half an hour!" I heard Alexy yell as I walked down the hall towards my locker.

When I got there I found Amber kissing…. Some dude I've never seen before. Normally I wouldn't care who Amber was sucking faces with but they were doing it right in front of my locker and I needed to get my bag out of there to change for the concert. When they come up for air, Amber finally noticed me. "You were there?" Amber asked. "Sorry," I said. 'Why sorry?! She should be the one who should be sorry after subjecting me to such a horrible scene!' I thought. I guess I made a face because then Amber said, "Don't make that face you'll kiss a boy one day.…. After all miracles do happen."

"Ha ha, very funny… how much did you have to pay him to do that for you?" I retorted. "Not everyone has to pay to get what they want like you," she said, glaring. "Pfff…" 'Hey, her friend doesn't look too happy… maybe I should just get my bag and leave them alone, I would still really like to know who he is though' I thought.

"Uh, excuse me… what's your name? Are you new? I've never seen you here…" I asked the new guy. "My name?" the guy said, smiling. '…? Why is he smiling like that?' "I was going to ask you the same thing." Amber stated. "You kissed him without even knowing his name?" I asked her, giving her a look. "I didn't even have the time to talk to the other new students before you jumped in and became all 'buddy-buddy' with them… I didn't want to take the risk this time." she said.

"Ok…" I then smirked, "You know sometimes talking to you is like sending signals into outer space: we hope to find some form of intelligence, but we never find anything." She was about to retort before the new guy cut in, "…Actually, Amber, the more I look at you, the more I realize you are not even the slightest bit cute…" 'Phew, he's finally seen the light!' I did a mental sigh of relief.

"Plus, you are a really bad kisser... Don't come near me anymore, and don't try to call me. 'If only I had some popcorn…' He took Amber's phone and smashed it on the ground, breaking the screen and case. It was defiantly useless. "Are you crazy?! Why did you do that?!" Amber screamed. She must have heard me snickering because she turned and yelled at me, "What are you laughing at you b!+€h?"

This made me stop snickering and I glared at her, making her visibly flinched, "You can't be talking, Amber; at least I learn someone's name before I start kissing him." I stepped around her and quickly got my bag out of my locker. Turning back to her I said, "Now I would love to stay and play 20 insults with you, but I have a show to go put on."

Walking towards to gym, I heard the new guy tell Amber, "Did you understand what I said or do I need to draw you a picture? Get out of here!" This made me giggle.

When I got to the gym locker room I changed into a black short-sleeve bolero jacket with a hood, a gold spaghetti strap tank top, a gold belt, black skinny jeans with gold chains, and knee-high black boots. I brushed out my hair and put on some waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Right when I finished, my phone buzzed letting me know the show was going to start in 5 minutes. "Crap," I said, quickly stuffing all of my stuff in my bag and throwing it over my shoulder. I ran out the door, stopped by my locker, shoved my bag in, and ran the rest of the way to the basement. The guys were waiting out side of the door.

"Bout time," Armin said when he saw me. "Sorry, I had to do bimbo control in front of my locker," I said, adjusting my dog tags. "Whatever, let just go," Castiel said, walking into the basement door. We all followed him in and up on stage. I stood in front of the mike stand. A ton of people were in the crowd, it looked like the whole school was here. The only people I didn't see were Amber and her drones, Li and Charlotte.

"Hey everybody! Are you ready to rock?!" I called into the mike. "Yeah!" they called in union. "Now I know you can better than that. I said ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!?" I said louder into the mike. "Yeah!" the crowd called about ten times louder. "That's better," I nodded to Castiel and he started the music. I saw the new guy walk in. I guess someone told him about the concert and he decided to come watch.

I can honestly say
You've been on my mind
Since I woke up today
I look at your photograph all the time
These memories come back to life
And I don't mind

-Flashback(8 years ago)-
"Leave him alone!" a girl that was about 8 with gold tipped black hair and shining gold eyes told a group of boys that were picking on a small boy with a brown bowl cut and thick swirled glasses. The group was about 2 years older. The leader turned to the girl. "What are you going to do about it, pipsqueak?" he said.

The group had stopped beating up the boy and turned to look at the smaller girl. "How about this?" the girl said. She punched the leader square in the jaw. This made the group drop the boy and run at the girl. After about 5 minutes, the group grabbed the members that were unconscious (there were about 6 unconscious and 10 in all) and run. The girl had a black eye, a busted lip, and a few bruises but nothing serious.

After she made sure the last member of the group was gone, she turned and walked over to the boy on the ground. "Are you ok, Zen," the boy asked as the girl, Zenraya, crouched down in front of him. "I should be asking you that, Ken," Zenraya said, smiling. "I'm sorry," Ken said looking down even though he couldn't see without his glasses. This made Zenraya frown. "Why are you sorry, KT?" she asked him. "Your always getting hurt and into fights because of me," he answered. The gold eyed girls frown deepened.

She stood up and walked over to where Ken's swirled glasses were laying. As she crouched back down in front of him, she cleaned his glasses with the tail of her shirt. "Don't you ever think that, Ken. I help you because you're my friend, my best friend; I hate it when you get hurt. And if I get hurt in the process, so be it. I'll always protect you, KT," she lifted his chin to make him look at her and she slid his glasses on his face, "Now that's better." "Thanks, Zenraya," Ken said, hugging her. "No problem, KT," Zenraya said, smiling and hugging back.
-End Flashback-

I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
I remember the simple things
I remember till I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
The memory I wanna forget
Is goodbye

-Flashback(4 years ago)-
A girl with gold tipped black hair sat next to a boy with a brown bowl cut and swirled glasses. They were about 12 years old. "I'm so bored," the girl complained, "let's go do something, KT." "Like what? It's raining outside and your aunt said we couldn't go out in the rain," the brown haired boy said. "Um… we could dance," the girl suggested. "You know I can't dance, Zenraya," Ken said. "So it's just the two of us. Who cares if we look like losers." she said, standing up. Zenraya started dancing around and singing a song the both loved, 'Loser like me.' After watching her for a minute, Ken got up and started doing the same. They danced for hours and didn't even notice it had stopped raining.

I woke up this morning
And played our song
And through the tears I sang along
I picked up the phone and then
Put it down
'Cause I know I'm wasting my time
And I don't mind

-Flashback(earlier this morning)-
A gold eyed girl at the age of 16 was sitting on her bed sitting on her bed and singing along with the radio with tears running down her face. She reached over to her nightstand and picked up her phone, it is rhinestoned in green and with a black winking face on it. The picture on the lock screen was a picture of the said girl and a boy with brown hair and swirled glasses when they were about 9. The girl's gold tipped hair was hanging down in her face. The screen said 'No New Messages.' She set the phone back down with a sigh and said, "I should have known."
-End Flasback-

I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time you danced with me
With no music playing
I remember the simple things
I remember till I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
The memory I wanna forget

Suddenly my cell phone's blowing up
With your ring tone
I hesitate but answer it anyway
You sound so alone
And I'm surprised to hear you say

-Flashback(Two days after getting gift from Ken)-
A girl was laying on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Just then her cell phone started playing 'Loser like me' and she knew it was her best friend so she lunged for the phone. Her best friend had got sent off to military school by his dad about 5 months earlier and she had only been able to talk to him on the phone about once or twice a month. The friends talked for hours. The girl filling the boy in on everything happening at their school and the boy telling her the stuff that was happening at military school.
-End Flashback-

You remember when we kissed
You still feel it on you lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
You remember the simple things
We talk till we cry
You said that your biggest regret
The one thing you wish I'd forget
Is saying goodbye

I had a stray tear running down my face and I quickly wiped it away. Most of the people were swaying to the music and the others were ogling at either the guys or me but I noticed the new guy was just staring at me. Our eyes met as I sang the last lyrics.

Saying goodbye
Oh, goodbye

The roar of the crowd snapped me out of the trance. I plastered a smile on my face and looked at the crowd. "Thanks for coming, everyone," I said into the mike. Most of the people started leaving. The guys set down their instruments and we hopped down off the stage and talked to the few people that stuck around.

"Bye, Zenraya," Armin said and Alexy waved at me as they walked out of the door. "Bye guys," I called after them. I was going stay late to work on some homework. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to find the new guy. "That was a really good show Zenraya," he said. "Thanks. Uh… wait a second… how do you know my name?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. "…You still haven't figured it out? I don't remind you of anyone? A timid boy, who you spend basically every minute of your child hood with? Does that ring a bell?" he asked.

He was tall about 6'1, he was wearing a white button up, a black shirt underneath, camouflage cargo pant, black boots, and black fingerless gloves, he had brown hair, and his eyes were a bright green. They reminded me of….. "KT?" I asked in shock. A smile broke out on his face and he nodded. "KT!" I screamed and glomped him. He stumbled back a little but he stayed on his feet. "It's good to see you too, Zen," he said, chuckling, "But I can't breathe."

"Oh sorry," I said letting him go, "What are you doing here Kentin?" "I convinced my dad to let me finish out high school here," he answered. "That is so awesome," I said smiling. We talked for a few more minutes until we got to the front doors of the school. "So do you have a ride home, Zen?" Kentin asked. "No I was just gonna walk since I don't live to far from here," I answered. "Well come on, I'll give you a ride," he said walking over to a black ford truck. "Ok, thanks," I said climbing in too.

We talked some more until we got to my house. "Thanks, KT," I said, opening the door, "I'll see you tomorrow at school right?" He smiled, "Yeah see you tomorrow at school, Zen." "Bye, KT," I said, climbing out and closing the door behind me. I waved as he drove away.

I walked in the front door and went to the kitchen to find aunt Abby with dinner ready for me. While we ate, I filled her in on everything that happened today. After we ate, I climbed the stairs to my room and took a shower. After I got out, I dressed in a pair of black shorts and a blue t-shirt. I collapsed on my bed and fell asleep.


the songs in this chapter are 'Loser like Me' by the Glee cast and 'Goodbye' by Miley Cyrus.
