Dear Diary. (Jalbert)

Dear Diary,

Monday. The day every teenage kid dreads.

I mostly dreaded seeing Jake. He probably thinks I'm just a big loser right? I bet he does. Can't even handle the blaring music of a radio and the strong alcoholic stench that filled the room.

I'm so pathetic y'know. Wishing for things that happens in only fairytales, drawing art that no one would buy, being the antisocial fuck-tard I am.

But hey, life is like that right? I'll have my time to shine.

It was lunch. I was sitting at a table alone blasting my kind of music and drawing as usual. Jake suddenly came up from beside me and sat across from me. I was confused at how anyone would actually sit by me.

"Hey." He said.

"Sup." I replied. As I write it down here I should've said something else.

"How are you?" I was a bit surprised in his sudden interest on my well being.

"Fine, you?" God I'm so bad at small talk.

"Alright." Just then Jake called over his so called friends to where we were.

"Uh...Jake...why are we sitting here?" His friend Russo or whatever asked.

"Guys, this is my friend Albert. I danced with him at the party last week remember?" He stated. I was surprised he actually remember that.

"Oh ha yeah, everyone called you gay and you ran out like a pussy right?" He said. I knew this was a mistake.

I saw Jake glare at him slightly which kind of made things better.

"So Albert, whatcha drawing there?" He asked. At the time I was actually just drawing people. I've been practicing different hair styles and such.

"Oh uh just testing out some new hair styles." I replied. At this point, I think Russo forgot I wasn't playing my music anymore.

"Why are we here with this freak bro? Like, he can't even look up when he talks." Russo said trying to be quiet. Or at least I thought.

"Shut up dude, I'm just trying to be nice." Jake replied.

"Don't sit with me because you pity me Jake." I snarled.

I could tell he was sad at my comment but I meant it. He got up and left with his friends to go sit at their usual table.

Looking back at it now, I probably shouldn't have been so blunt. I just was pissed off at how people treat me at this pathetic school. I do know how to take a hint though.
