"WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?" clay ask as i sit down on the stairs. waiting for my mom to pick me up.

i'm going to be honest. he's getting annoying. i just met him, and he is following me around, attached to my back, like a parasite. "blue." i bluntly say.

"mine is green."

i nod my head. he begins to open his mouth. i cut him off before he could say anything. "look clay. you seem cool, but please leave me alone."

his smile fades. making me feel terrible. "oh." he stands up from his spot. "i'm sorry." he say, before walking away from me.

silence fills around me. nothing but talking students. i look over to where clay is now standing. his gaze points to the concrete, as he fidgets with his fingers.

making me feel more like a bitch. but i'm sure he'll talk to me tomorrow, for sure.

"did you take your medicine?"

"you call me just for that?" i walk over to my cupboard pulling out a glass.

"well did you?"

i fill my glass with water before answering clay. "yes dad."

"i'm just worry for you, bea." he sighs.

"well, frankly, it's getting kind of annoying." i blurt out. i spoke my mind. on accident. by the sound of clays silence, i knew i fucked up.

"i'm sorry, aoife." and he hangs up.

i sigh as i sit my phone on the counter. leaning my elbows on the countertop, running my fingers through my hair. "shit."

clay is sitting by himself at lunch. i was so certain he would talk to me, today. i mean i did tell him to leave me alone, so he's simply obeying my request.

he looks up, meeting his gaze with mine. clay quickly brings his eyes back to his food.

no big deal, wasn't planning on making friends anyway.

i try calling him again, to apologize.

no answer. i try again.

no answer, went straight to voicemail.

no big deal, we will go back to talking again in no time.
