     “Faith Tora?”
     “Here.” I called out.
     “Andrew Piers?” It must have been a new kid. I’d never heard the name before.
     “Call me Drew.” I looked around, trying to match a face to the voice and then I found him. He was in the back of the room at the table with all the ‘it’ girls. Go figure. He was built up like a football player. With wavy brown hair similar to mine. He caught me staring and did a little head nod thing. Damn it. He wasn’t supposed to see me. It caused everyone at the table to look over at me. They started whispering something to each other then giggled and turned away. I just rolled my eyes and focused my attention back to the front of the room.
     All I wanted was to pass senior year and graduate. I didn’t need any new friends or a boyfriend. My heart was still torn from Evan’s passing.
     The bell rang for first period and there was a shuffling of papers and a scraping of desks. I looked down at my schedule. World history. Gross. My least favorite subject. I searched the room for the most isolated seat; not in the mood to socialize at the moment. I put my head down on my desk, exhausted form not getting enough sleep.
     “Is this seat taken?” I heard a masculine voice and raised my head up to see who it was. I suspected that it was just Jake or Matt, but surprised to find that it was the new kid Andrew.
     “Uh, no.” I hadn’t expected him to sit with me; he was already part of the popular group, why would a miniscule unimportant person like me matter?
     “Drew Piers.” He said sticking his hand out.
     “Faith.” I said, grabbing his hand and lightly shaking.
     “Nice to meet you Faith.”
     “Nice to meet you too, Drew.” I looked around the classroom trying to find if this was all like a prank on me or something. But to my surprise there were no smirking or giggling girls. I took a second glance to find that there were no popular people in here. So that’s how he ended up next to me.
     “I’ll grab you one.” Drew said.
     “Huh?” I had no idea what he was talking about.
     “A notebook. Mr. Tara just told us all to go up and get one.” He gave me a half grin and cocked his head to one side. Obviously I had zoned out. Before I could answer he turned around and headed up to the front of the room to grab us two notebooks.
     “Thanks.” I said tossing him a little smile.
     “No probs.” He said returning the smile. I couldn’t figure out this boy. He was hanging out with the populars and then he just decided to come and be nice to a loser like me. Well he could cross off his one good deed for the day.
     I felt something vibrating from the side of me. I glanced over out of the corner of my eye at Drew. Without removing his eyes from Mr. Tara he slid his phone out of his pocket and slyly took a look at it.

Chad: hey bro! what’s good?
Me: boring history, next to that chick Faith.

     I was ‘that chick’? Didn’t that make me feel great? It vibrated again.

Chad: you mean the loser with the dead boyfriend?
Me: LMAO.

     He thought it was funny I had a dead boyfriend? He was unbelievable. It was all just a prank I should have known. I felt heat up and a lump form in my throat. I wasn’t going to cry though. What senior cried on their first day back to school? No, I had to stay strong. I had to show them what they were missing.
I carefully ripped a page out from my notebook and grabbed one of my freshly sharpened pencils.

heey, sorry it took me so long to post. hope you like it(: feedback! comments/faves pleease! thaanks(:
