I throw myself in my car with a sigh. Thank God this week is over! Up until now, I hadn’t really paid any attention to the other students at the school. Outside of the guys and Amy (I’d FINALLY remembered Shy Girl’s name, miracle of miracles), no one had noticed me. But apparently the conversation with the Catty Crew must have struck a nerve with them.

When I got to school Monday, I couldn’t help but notice that everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me when I walked through the halls. By Wednesday, people upgraded from starring to gossiping loudly about me anytime I was by myself. The girls would go on loudly about “how pathetic she is, panting after guys who were interested in a different set of ‘equipment’”. Add to that random guys grabbing their crotches and offering to show me what a “real man” was like. Like anyone would find that attractive, EVER. Seriously stupid bullshit.

This morning, someone decided to take it step further, and left me nasty notes in my locker. Calling me a Fruit Fly and a Fag Hag. Of course the notes aren’t signed, but I’m sure the Catty Crew or their Minions are behind it. I’m tempted to track them down and confront them; ask what the hell their problem is. I have NO idea what they think this crap will accomplish. Do they really think they can scare me off? That I wouldn’t be friends with the guys anymore, just because of their vicious gossip? Seriously? Are they really that stupid?

Maybe I should start marking the days off on the calendar. Countdown how many weeks I have left until I’m free from this school and can avoid the stupid people. At this point, it doesn’t matter that I still don’t have a clue what I want to do with my life. I just want to be free from the endless classes populated by petty, ignorant people. I can decide if I still want to go to Stanford later, after I figure my shit out.

The chiming of my phone pulls me back to the present and I dig it out of my jacket pocket.

Rock Star Samil: Hey guys, don’t forget team tryouts are in an hour.

Angel Sebastian: Already in the locker room suiting up.

Tank Clayton: Jared and I are on our way now.

Rock Star Samil: Are you coming Ian?

Nerd Ian: I’m going to pass guys. I’ve got enough on my plate with my AP classes. Plus I want to get back to my research. I think I found something, but I need to finish cross checking.

Me: Good luck guys!

Nerd Ian: Hey Emmy, can get a ride home from you???

Me: Of course. I’m in the student parking lot still.

Nerd Ian: Perfect. BRT

I load up a game and blow through a couple quests while I wait. Even though I’m expecting him, the light tap on the window makes me jump. With a quick look to verify it’s him, I hit the locks.
