My Broken Mind (Ike x Firkle)

I Ruin Everything

"You can't eat outside. Go sit down!" He yelled.
"Stupid conformist" I mumbled under my breath. I look around for an empty table but fail. I see a girl sitting alone so I sit with her. She looked up at me with the biggest smile.

"Hi! I'm Karen. Who are you?" She asked me excitedly.
"Uh, Firkle.."
"Are you new?"
"No, I just never come to class."
"Ooh well that ma-" She stopped speaking. I look around to see a group of girls behind me.

"Wow Karen this is just sad. You've become so lonely you tried to claim the new kid before anyone else could speak to him."she shook her head. "Just. Plain. Sad."

This girl was annoying as fuck and has only been here for twenty seconds. Her voice was so high pitched and preppy sounding.

"Look new kid, you don't have to hang with her. No one likes her. So just come with us and you will definitely be popular." She tried to grab my arm. I quickly threw my arm back.

"Don't touch me you pathetic conformist."

She scoffed. "Me pathetic! Whatever. Have fun in loser town." She walked off to another table.

I turned back around and was instantly tackled to the ground.

"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" She hugged me tightly. I pushed her off me.
"Yeah..no problem."
"Why'd you do it though?" She asked hopping in her seat.
"Because they're pathetic conformists."
"But aren't I con-fer-must?"
"Conformist" I corrected. "And yes, but not pathetic."

Karen smiled and we both went to eating.

End of flashback

"So are you like, emo or something?" Ruby asks me.
"No. I'm goth."
"Same thing." She rolled her eyes.

I already hate this girl.

"No...emos think they are fucked up. While goths think the world is fucked up." I explained.

"Yeah, and emos self harm. Goths don't do that." Karen said not taking her eyes off the book.
"How would you know that?" Ruby asked Karen.
Karen shrugged. "Me and Firkle use to be friends."

It made me kind of happy that she wasn't embarrassed to say we were friends.

Ruby started laughing and when she calmed down she started speaking. "Okay, two things. Karen he's why you were such a loser in elementary. I mean come on! He walks around saying sad quotes and calling everyone a 'conformist'. And you." She pointed at Ike. "I understand you want another guy in the group but you can do better than him!"

Ruby was right. Ike is only friends with me because he feels bad. Karen was unpopular because of me. I do ruin people. If I stay around Ike he will lose his friends. I have to leave Ike alone before I ruin his life. But...I don't want to. I don't know why but I don't want to leave his side. I want to be with him whenever I can. Maybe....maybe I can change.

"-away from me!" Ruby yelled and stormed out of the cafeteria. Flora ran after her. I was too deep in my thoughts to know what was happening.

"Look Firkle, there is nothing wrong with you. Ruby can just be an asshole sometimes." Karen was trying to comfort me but it wasn't working. I looked over at Ike, he seemed to be deep in a thought. Probably planning on telling me he hates me and want me out of his life.

I couldn't handle it anymore. Ike just lost one if his bestfriends because of me. I'm ruining his life already! Good job Firkle you're such an amazing friend.

I got up and walked out the school. Someone is calling after me but I don't care at the moment. I need to get away.
