"i don't know will, mike is going to be there and i'm pretty sure he won't want me there" jane says truthfully, a sadness in her eyes as she looks at him. will looks at her for a few seconds, a sympathetic smile appearing on his face.

"mike just hates the idea of someone new ruining the party. he can come across as rude and i understand that completely, but i promise he will warm up to you eventually" will explains to the saddened girl stood in front of him.

"i'll think about it, ok? i just- he hurt me a lot yesterday and i don't know if i'm ready to be around him just yet. i hope you understand that" jane admits truthfully, closing her locker and turning to face the boy in front of her.

"of course i understand, i hope i see you soon" will says softly as he nods showing he understood her. he gives her a final smile before strolling down the corridor.

the second the school bell rang, signaling lunch had started, jane felt a lump in her throat. she had two choices, go and have lunch with the party in the cafeteria or sit alone in mr clarke's classroom. she wanted friends, without question, however she didn't want to risk being hurt again by him.

jane's head was pounding as she makes her way through the crowded corridor. she makes a sudden stop outside the cafeteria as she spots them. the party were sat at their usual lunch table, and jane felt a small sigh escape her lips. she knew she was beginning to be accepted by them, but she also knew she would never be one of them. she was too different, too odd.

but something came over jane in that moment, a sudden push almost. she began to slowly walk into the cafeteria, clutching her bag straps tightly as if they were about to save her from the situation she has just put herself in. will spots her and immediately waves her over to the seat in between him and dustin. jane quickly sits in between the pair and meets eyes with mike himself.

she felt all those horrible feelings flood back as he rolled his eyes at her and harshly stabbed his fruit carton with the straw. jane felt as if he had done the exact same thing but with her heart instead. she tried to ignored his rude act and looked over at max who smiled at her sweetly.

jane felt somewhat welcome to their lunch, however part of her still felt like she didn't belong there. she could practically feel the anger radiating off mike as he completely ignored her presence.

"have you ever been to av club jane?" dustin asks curiously as he fills his mouth with some chocolate pudding.

"uh- no actually" jane says awkwardly as she shifts in her seat. will notices her nervousness and puts a hand on her shoulder. he smiles at her warmly, causing a grin to creep up onto janes face.

"you should come with us sometime!" max suggests excitedly as she looks at jane with wide eyes.

jane quickly nods in response. she waited, waited for a sudden outburst or come from mike or a rude comment, but instead he simply scoffs, and storms out of the cafeteria.

jane had reached the point when she felt as if she was going to cry right there. with pure anger and sadness she stood up from her chair and ran after him. she demanded to know what the hell his problem was.

she desperately looked along the corridor, trying to spot the moody, lanky teenager. thankfully his height made that easier for her, at the end of the corridor she spotted him make a sharp turn into the av club room. she quickly ran to catch up with him before he closed the door and hid himself away in the room. the door was beginning to close before she swiftly moved her hand in between the gap and pulled it open. she walked into the room and slammed the door behind her, determined to show him she wasn't a weak, vulnerable little girl

"god, what the fuck do you want?" mike groaned as he glared at the girl with dagger like eyes.

" i want to know what your problem is. why do you feel the need to treat me this way? i don't deserve it" jane says emotionally, feeling tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"i don't want you in the party. there. that's your explanation" mike says carelessly as he plops himself down onto a spare seat into the room.

"but why? what have i done wrong?" jane asks, determined to get an answer out the stubborn boy as she sits down across from him

"you haven't done anything- i just- i don't like new members, and especially not the school freak" mike answers coldly, however he hesitates and begins to stutter when he sees a single tear fall down jane's face.

freak. she had grown used to this word, it didn't affect her anymore. however hearing him say it hurt more than ever.

jane nods, completely losing any hope of convincing him to let her join the party. she picks up her backpack and stands up slowly with a small sigh. "you know, all i wanted were some friends" jane admits quietly as she looks at the boy with tear filled eyes. mike stares at her blankly with his mouth slightly hung open. she leaves the room quickly, her heart broken yet again.
