You're a Player but I'm not Your Game

Chapter 18: Getting to Know You

Chapter 18: Getting to Know You

Finally Mr. Provost dismissed the class and I groaned of relief. I gathered my things and walked out into the hallways. I hated high school, the hallways are always busy and you can barely make a turn, you can't even text and walk at the same time, and if you don't have a locker in the locker pod it was up on the wall, they were tiny and packed together too close. I pushed my way through people annoyingly. I opened my locker dropping my books into them and gathered different materials for the next class.

"Hey," Drew greeted me. "Hey," I mimicked him. "So, are you busy tonight?" he asked. No, I'm not because I'm a loser hidden in the shadows. "Not really," I told him. "Great," Drew smiled. I raised my eye brow cocking my head to the side like a lost puppy. "Don't you have friends? Why are you hanging around me so much?" I asked trying not to sound rude. "Yes, I do have friends. How do you think I get invited to all these parties? Do you have friends?" He asked me. "No, not anymore anyways," I said thinking of Emma.

I should've known she would become a nasty bitch. She's popular and pretty, and I'm the kind of girl who doesn't get around much and I mean... I'm not exactly what you call 'sexy'. Why would a girl like her be best friends with me?

Wait, wait, wait. Hold up.

Drew is just like her, hot and popular. Ew, did I just call Drew hot? I made my self laugh and Drew stared at me weirdly. What if Drew ends up turning his back on me like Emma did? Should I trust him? I don't know...

"I'm coming over tonight, okay?" He asked raising both of his eyes brows. "Alrighty," I told him. We headed off our separate ways to class. Next up was language arts. I personally liked this class because I was into journalism.

I slipped into my seat and waited for the teacher to begin the class. I was bored out of my mind. I watched the hands on the clock move but even that couldn't entertain me. I started to doodle into my note book drawing hearts and such. Honestly I don't know why but today I'm pretty much sucked into boredom with every class.

I began to think about Drew... of course. Do you really think I should trust him? He is known for being a player, a jock, and an ass. But then again, he comforts me, he danced with me. On the other hand... He did totally ignore me at that party when he was drunk. He made me feel like such a fool, to even think he would be there when I needed him rather then take away a girls virginity. But I mean... I shouldn't hold a grudge on that, what's in the past is gone.

He's done more bad things to me then good if you think about it. He is so cocky and annoying sometimes. He can also be so adorable and kind. Sometimes, I miss him and I want him to give me a big old bear hug. He wouldn't do that though right? He has a 'reputation'. I began to think about the day we danced together in his room, how cute he was but also at how cliche it was.

Wow. I sure do make it sound like I'm in love with him don't I? Well I'm not for your information. Like I said, I will never like him, ever. I've probably said that about a million times now? Yeah, that sounds about right.

"Class dismissed," the teacher waved us off. Yes! Finally! I've never been so bored before. A smiled crept to my lips as I realized it was lunch, but then it flipped upside when I noticed I didn't have anyone to sit with. Usually it was just Emma and I, but now I was alone. I walked into the cafeteria going through the lunch line then sitting at the empty table awkwardly. I heard laughs behind me, I noticed it was Emma and her evil minions. I soon felt salad and ranch being dumped down my back. "Oops" she giggled.

I rolled my eyes and wailed. This was just great. My jaw dropped and I slowly stood up walking past Drew's lunch table walking out of the cafeteria to the bathroom. I got a few chuckles from his table and I groaned in result. I quickly walked to the bathroom frowning. I looked at my self in the mirror. I moaned as I tried getting the sauce off my back. I quickly made sure no one was in the bathroom then pulled off my shirt wiping off all of the ranch. I then slipped it back on walking back to my empty lunch table.
