Love Me

Chapter 3

As I walked into the classroom, I felt a tear slide down my cheek. Wiping it away, I quietly sat down at a seat in the back. As more and more people poured into the room, I put my head down, wishing I was alone. I'm not really much of a people person, and I sometimes enjoy being by myself. It gives me time to just think. Suddenly, a voice interrupted my thoughts.

“Excuse me, can I sit here?” I lifted my head to find some guy standing over me, waiting for a response.

“I guess..” I breathed, not knowing how to say no nicely. He sat down in the seat next to me. He had brownish hair with steaks of blonde in it, brown eyes, and a black hoodie on.

“So what's your name?” Please leave me alone.

“Kristin,” I replied.

“My name's Jacob, but you can call me Jake.” I just nodded. I really didn't feel like talking.

“Are you new here? I've never seen you around.” Of course he hadn't. I was practically invisible: I only had one friend here. And I wasn't even sure if she liked me anymore. Before I could respond, the bell rang, and a plump woman, probably in her mid thirties, walked in. She had short blond hair and a huge smile planted on her face.

“Good morning, class! My name is Mrs. Henderson,” she said cheerfully. “We are going to have a great year together.”

My classes all went by quickly, and soon the bell had rang for lunch. I found out that I had history, calculus, and gym with Jake. I guess it wasn't too bad, at least I wouldn't be alone. I walked into the lunch room carrying my plain, sky blue lunch box, and looked around for a seat. Most of the tables were already full, but I saw one empty seat by Megan. I walked over, hoping she would let me sit there.

“Hey Megan, do you mind if I sit here?” I asked.

“Sorry Kristin,” she said awkwardly. “Um, my friend asked me to save her a seat here.. so...umm..yeah. Maybe tomorrow?”

“Uh, yeah. Tomorrow.” I smiled weakly. I doubted she would let me sit there tomorrow, either, since she had so many other friends who needed seats. Walking away, I looked around the lunchroom for another place to sit.

This chapter is going to have to be in two parts, sorry about that. The stupid website won't let me add the whole thing. Anyway, I'd love to hear feedback from you guys! How do you like it?
