Two Friends

I was sitting at my desk minding my own business ignoring the blabby brats sitting around me talking smack about people mostly me. But I didn't care. Pretty much every girl had turned against me and all I could turn to were the boys. I was surprised how much I could relate to them at a time like this. I was friends with Brandon, Skylark and Zane. That's who I talked to at lunch and recess ever since the girls at the girls table purposely made sure there was no room for me to sit. Honestly I was more happy! "can you believe them?" I asked skylark as I sat down "they were laughing as I passed by.Why was Kayla once my best friend and now she just wants to shoot me down." "I know." skylark said "that's how we weaklings have felt all these years" he said sighing "why are they such b!t^hes now? Was there a stage that I missed in like girls growing up or something?" I said. Zane shrugged. Zane used to be best friends with Kayla too and I used to like him a couple years ago but I got over him. Then the bell rang to go to class. I walked with Zane we were talking about Zelda the video game. Then Kayla and another mean girl lizzy walked by. "oooh! Somebody still has feelings for Zane!" they squealed I just rolled my eyes as we walked away. Zane knew I didn't like him anymore. But she was spreading the rumor that had feelings for either Zane, Brandon or skylark just because I hung out with them.
Two weeks later I had broken my foot while staying at a friends house who hadn't turned against me yet. She told me "don't let anyone use your crutches because they think it's fun to be on crutches when it not it really hurts." I nodded in agreement. I told everyone that they couldnt use my crutches. The guys were cool with it. But of course kayla didnt care and grabbed my crutches from me. when I broke my foot all the girls seemed to baby me which I really hated. I would always say I got it. I hate being like a baby so one day Kayla said "let me get that for you". I said "no I got it really. You don't have to help" "no I insist" she pressed on. I finally gave in. A couple days later I fully recovered. Then I noticed Kayla was wanting things from me just like when i brought something cool and she kept using the 'I helped you when you were on crutches excuse. As much as I hate to admit it I did give into it the first few times. Then I got sick and tired of her so the very next time she asked me I stood up to her ugly face and said "you know what! No! Because I didn't need your help! YOU insisted after I told you no!so I don't have to give you CRAP in return! Your such an actress!" I blowed as I walked away. Then I started getting word that she was talking behind my back (coughno surprisecough) and saying stuff like. "oh she's such a b!t^h she didn't give me anything after I helped her on her crutches" I ignored it because she's a 100% liar! After that I became closer and closer with the guys which came more and more teasing from the girls.
One day out of the blue our teacher, mrs. Monroe said "class we are changing seats!" cheering erupted from the class with some groans from people sitting next to thier friends when we got almost all the seating sorted out I was devastated. I was surrounded by girls! Crap! But then mrs. Monroe said "Landan! You can go sit at the end by-" she pointed to me. "ah" I thought "it's better than having no one to talk to." but then I noticed all the girls giving me jealous glares. And Kayla gave me the death glare. What did I do? Is there something wrong? Then it smacked me in the face. Of course! It was Landan! Pretty much every single girl except me had a major crush on him! Including Kayla. "hey" he said as he sat down in the desk next to me. I gave him an awkward wave. We had known each other since the second grade but we never really talked. After everyone had gotten settled in thier new seats Mrs. Monroe began to teach the reading lesson. I noticed Landan was trying to get my attention. Grinning at me with his pearly whites. I would usually just glance at him and give him an approving nod and get back to my class work. It was wierd. Landan had never really seemed to take an interest in me before. He was even trying to spark up a conversation with me. He would just talk to me out of the blue like "what was the last thing the teacher said?" after I would tell him he would be like "so what's up?" "nothing really." I would say. One day I finally gave in and started talking to him. When he noticed I was going further and further into the conversation, his eyes seemed to light up. "cool" he said after I had just told him my birthday. We were getting to know each other better. "mines the 1st of Jan" "aw we'll be on winter break!" i said "yea" he sighed "so what's your favorite color?" I said looking for more questions "green" he replied "mines red" I said as I glanced at Kayla. She was staring at me suspiciously. I knew she was thinking if she should stop us then and there or just let the events unfold. I guess she decided to pet them unfold. Later that week I was making a card for my little brothers birthday and a boy stole it from me. He nearly ripped it until a teacher stopped him. When I walked into the class and sat next to Landan after about a couple minutes he noticed how upset I was and saw the crinkled card in my hand. "What happened to your card?" he asked "well.." I said hesitating if I could trust him. I sighed. "well, you know Peter?" "yeah.." he said "well he stole it from me and tried to rip it" I said quietly. "oh my gosh!" Landan exclaimed "he's such a jerk!" you looked at him "wow guys can relate to me" I thought "son of a b!t^h!" Landan said "hey dude it's cool" I giggled amused by his action "he's five" Landan looked confused then grinned. "sorry. So I'll see you tomorrow.." he said as he gave me a small awkward hug. I blushed. "yea" my voice cracked. As he walked away and I gave him a small wave good bye, I turned around to see Kayla standing right behind me " what do you think you're doing with my boyfriend?" she snapped immediately. I laughed. "kayla you need to go visit a mental hospital if you think what you just said is true. You're not dating Landan" i said "NOT YET!! and anyways, your just saying that cuz you LOVE him" she exclaimed "Ok did you just fall out of the sky or something?" i asked sarcastically "I don't like Landan. Were just friends!"
"you are such a liar! you really expect me to believe YOU!"
"you know what kayla i really don't give an ef what you think. I don't need opinions from girls like... well... YOU"
" what do you mean b!t^h??"
"um let me think, b!t^hy, stupid, ugly, mean, oh and by the way... YOURE NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!"
"haha... I'm not after you, i'm after Landan, listen, i know your pretty and smart and everything, so you're just getting in the way. You need to get THIS. THIS IS MY TURF. LANDAN IS MINE AND IF YOU DONT STAY AWAY FROM HIM ILL JUST MAKE YOUR REP WORSE AND WORSE." she sputtered in my face
"Even if you ruin my rep, it'll still be better than your b!t^hy, sl^tty rep" i replied "and honestly don't think a butt lift that your daddy bought is gonna make landan think of you as any less as a sl^t"
she smirked "see ya round outcast" as she walked away
whatever. i rolled my eyes. i didn't care about her or lizzy or any other girls like them. but today i did feel something different. a feeling i hadn't felt in a long time. i felt... cared for. This wasn't just another fake friendship. i could feel it, it was real. me and landan were blooming in a wonderful friendship that would leave an enchanted, haunted trail of memories.
