any change but everybody else at the table knew to be wary of me. They avoided any direct eye contact with me and some of them shuffled away from where I sat.
Haley still clinging to my arm sat down beside me. She was smiling like she had just won the lottery or an award that she really wanted to get. I really hate it when women think that they can just own a guy, because they can’t and won’t own me no matter how hard they try. I’m not like that; I’m not an easy guy to get. I shrugged off her grip and crossed my arms so that she couldn’t grab hold of my arms again. She gave me a quick glare, and then looked back to the people around the table.
She is really blind if she can’t see what’s going on; either that or she is really dumb and desperate. Haley kept talking to everyone at the table, acting like I wasn’t a threat to her at all. But she kept glancing out of the corner of her eye. She was trying to do it inconspicuously and I doubt anybody else noticed, but I did. I found it quite annoying the way she tried to lay claim to me, I belong to no one.
And I was exceedingly relieved when the bell rang for lunch to end. But as soon as I walked into my next class my relief vanished, because there sitting on one of the desks was Stephanie. She was talking to a few people, they seemed kind of familiar but I couldn’t place them. She looked over to me and she let her gaze linger before turning away to rejoin her friends in conversation.
What was that just now was she reconsidering her opinion of me. Why do I care what she thinks about me? She's a nobody, and a nobody is not a person. And they will never be a person to me, never!
The ring of the bell knocked me out of my trace, and destroyed my train of thought. I quickly and almost unconsciously grabbed a seat. When I looked to see who I was sitting beside I was very distressed to find Stephanie to my one side and the guy she was talking to on my other. I sighed and looked to the front of the class. I need to learn to leave well enough alone…no matter how much it bugs me.
Class seemed to slip by very slowly; more slowly then any of my classes have ever gone by in. It seemed like hours before my class ended. Its not that they were staring at me, it was just that they didn’t even acknowledge my presence. I was like a ghost to them; the only other time either of them glanced at me was when I was called upon to answer a difficult question.
I had answered the question to the best of my ability and got it right. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Stephanie looked curious and I kind of wondered what about, but I didn’t bother to try because the guy on the other side had turned to an emotionless stone. I had heard Stephanie huff a laugh and then she sighed shaking her head. Then she turned back to being unemotional and disconnected.
I trudged back to my locker and grabbed my stuff for my final class. I was hoping that this class would be uneventful but it turns out that Stephanie was also in my chemistry class. This time though she was sitting on her own, staring out the window at something in the distance. I sat down at the only available seat, which was right next to Stephanie. She didn’t even seem to notice me or anyone else for that matter; she was so focused on what was outside that window.
The only thing I could see was a park that was in need of some major repairs. The benches were broken and rusted, there were weeds coming up in the cracks of the sidewalk and the gardens were just a mess. The place just looked plain ugly I don’t even know what she sees in that place. But then again she might not even be looking at it, she could just be think about something else and looking in that direction.
I never figured out the answer because the bell rang and the lesson started. Stephanie, at the sound of the bell, whipped her head around and faced the board. This time class seemed to go by fairly quickly. I don’t know why but it just did and I was a
