*Flashback*His lips curve into a beautiful smile as he shakes my hand, "Sure. I am Jase."
"Thanks. Are you new? Didn't see you before." One of the perks of being an introvert is that I notice everyone.
"Hmm. I transferred lately." See? I told you I know everyone, even though I am nonexistent to most people. Not that I care. Okay, I do. But that doesn't matter.
"Hey! Wanna meet my friends? They probably know you anyway." He says giving me a playful smile. Goodness Gracious! He's cute.
Wow. The new guy has more friends than me. My life can't get more pathetic.
"I am sorry. I'll pass" I put my earphones in and I am back to point one. So much for making new friends. But the problem is, it is just me. I couldn't handle crowds.
I feel suffocated. I just don't belong. I drown myself in books and music day and night. That's the only thing I am comfortable with.
"Whatcha listening to" pretty boy scoots closer to me as he tries to look into my phone. That's not sneaky at all. He has a playful glint in his eyes.
"Wha- Huh?" I mentally facepalm myself. "Oh. One direction."
"Cool." Wait. He didn't make a joke about it?
"You like em?" I can't help but ask. Blame my hormones.
"Yup. Don't you?" To say I am shocked would be an understatement.
"Omigod! You do?" I mentally cringe at the amount of excitement in my voice. But when it comes to my choice of music, I can't contain myself.
"Mostly Styles." He says with a knowing smirk.
I narrow my eyes in suspicion. "Are you playing with me?"
"What do you think?" He smirks.
I scowl and stuff my earphones back in.
"Hey! I am sorry. You up for a pizza?" Aww.
And needless to say I said yes. It's pizza. Duh.
And that was the start of our friendship. Who knew a pizza could change someone's life? I didn't.

*Present*
Tears run down my cheeks as I walk up the stairs of my new home. These hallways hold a lot of memories. But now, these are nothing but shallow structures. Suffocating. I feel devoid of any emotion. I can't feel anything. Numb.The beautiful wedding dress that I selected with so much affection, now feels like a burden on my body. Today, I became the joke again. But the sad thing is, so did my parents.
Never in my life did I feel so unworthy, so unwelcome.
I let out a humorless laugh as I enter my bedroom.
Apprently, he will not be living with me. I miss my home. I miss my parents. I miss my old bedroom. It wasn't as luxurious as this one, but it was mine. Now it feels like, I am staying in some stranger's house. Just without the rent.
I take off my dress, and put on some comfy pajamas. I lay down on the bed and immediately desolve into darkness. It was a long day. I wonder what tomorrow will bring....
