Authors note- just to clear things up it is the beginning of the school year. Its October 30 and the party Friday at Jack's house is a Halloween party but not a dress up party.
Paige's Point Of View
After music I went to gym. Rachael and her posse never even looked at Ava and me. I'm guessing they all aren't gunna "bully" me anymore. But the girls probably wont try to be friends which I'm fine with. I just want to know why the sudden change in heart.
Gym was pretty chill today. So far I'm having a pretty good day but I will not admit that out loud. I'm only half way done with the day. I walked to 4th alone like usual . This is my lonely class, I walk alone, sit alone, and work alone. But when I walking in Zach is sitting in the chair that's next to where I sit, and the new kid Logan is sitting in the chair at the table next to us. I'm guessing he's different too.
I walked over to my seat but before I sat down I blurted out "why are you here Zach?" "hi to you too Paige." he told me laughing, AGAIN WITH THE PAIGE. I sat down now so people wouldn't look at me standing. "I'm serious Zach why are you all being decent to me, If its as a joke just quit." he looked a little taken back that I just exploded on him.
"look Paige we feel really bad about all we've put you threw, I really want to be your friend now." he told me putting his hands over mine on the table. I couldn't help but to smile, no I don't have feelings for Zach but I can tell we'll get along. "ok" I finally let out.
We had a substitute today so we just watched a movie but the whole time me and Zach got to know each other. I noticed Logan look over and smile at us a few time, what's he up to? "so Paige do you want to join us at lunch?" Logan asked me as the bell rang. "um I can't I sit with Ava everyday and I wouldn't intrude." I told them both. "she can come to." Zach offered. Does he have a thing for her? "alright ill ask her." I told them going our separate ways.
I didn't ask her. Not that I didn't want to sit over there, it was tempting but I'm still confused on why their being nice. I guess I didn't wanna go over there to find out it was a joke. But you can't blame me they've been rude to me since we were 11 now all of a sudden things changed. If they are serious about being friends I guess I wont ask any questions. I'll just be glad they've changed.
"why are they being different?" Ava asked me. "honestly I know as much as you do, we both know absolutely nothing." I told her as we busted out laughing. "so what time should I pick you up?" Ava asked. "what are you talking about?" I has no clue what she meant. "tonight." she said.
I just gave her a look telling her to explain. "we're going shopping tonight for something to wear to the party tomorrow. Keep up Paige." she explained in a duh tone. "Oh, um 6 will be good I guess." we just talked some more until lunch was over then I made my way to math.
I already knew they guys (Jack Corbyn and Daniel) were going to try and make conversation. This class is kind of like 4th where I walk, sit, and work alone. And if either of the guys are going to try to be like Zach was it was going to be jack, since Corbyn and Daniel work together.
Just as I expected Jack was sitting in the chair next to mine. I decided not to ask anymore why they changed but to make the most of it. If its a joke oh well I have nothing to lose. "hey Paige" he told me with a smile. He had a smile that could kill for sure. But I have something with David, I hope.
I just smiled back at him and sat down. "so um you and David?" he asked me looking at his journal. "honestly I have no clue what we are or have." he nodded before he responded "do you like him?" I thought for a few moments looking for the right answer. "well I like to believe I do, I guess?" I said like it was a question. I'm not sure how I feel but I do know we'll be friends at least. He just nodded and my teacher got on with the lesson.That's pretty much how the rest of the day went. They guys tried to make conversation and I responded like the last 5 years never happened. After school I went to my room and didn't come out until Ava came.
*skipping the shopping because that's all they did and I'm lazy*
After Ava and I 'shopped til we dropped' (for 3 hours) I got the perfect outfit for Friday. As soon as I got home I crashed.
