It's a Love-Hate relationship

CHAPTER 15: He should take whispering classes from Voldemort

The word normal has never been normal for me. Confusing, I know. What I mean is I never really experienced normalcy in my life. From having a normal family to having normal friends, I've had the privilege to hold none of it. I've had a half broken family, students not wanting to befriend me due to my "weird" behavior (I ain't got shit on that), abnormal likes and dislikes according to people, abnormal behavior, etc.

You get the picture.

For example, I love wine. I don't know why I do but I love it. I could have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and this is surprisingly abnormal to other people. I mean, they think it's a drink for the elite, the rich, the prestigious... I could pull all that off, bitches. And it's not just that. They think it's absurd for a teenage girl to be loving wine so deeply. Plus, it's ironical how I can handle wine better than other adults.

Moving on, I hate healthy. Yeah, you heard me right. Being a soccer player and despite having 3 athletic boys in the house, I still refuse to immerse myself into the healthy food world. Nope. I'm not setting foot on that doorstep.

It's the door to my doom and suffocation.

Never would you see Summer Jones putting a piece of lettuce or cabbage or cucumber or whatever other weird vegetables that exist, in her mouth.

You see, that's another turn away point for people. These other teenagers I see are all hell-bent on getting those toned abs and curvy figure with a big butt and good hips. I honestly don't see any point in dieting like that and getting a good body when all I do is just eat junk food and play like hell. That's all I do to be in shape. Although, even if I wasn't in shape, I would never ever diet. That's for sure.

I won't lie and say it was easy fitting in – no it was absolute hell. I never found the right clique to associate with or have fun with. Maddie was all I had as I said before. Still, despite her hanging out with me, it didn't stop the rest to come to talk to Maddie. I mean she was pretty – so was I, come on – and smart and social. Quite social. Better than me for god's sake. Girls and boys always came up to her wanting to befriend her but always backed out because of me. And the few who really wanted Maddie to be their friend...yeah, they ran away as well since Maddie insisted I come along.

Not exactly the friend group type, ya see?

So, talking to people freely, conversing about their life, their day and so on – is definitely not a walk in the park for me.

Noel and I take a seat at the back of the Math class, to which we reached early since this building was not far from the canteen. I spot Maddie walk in the with the rest of the boys and she smiles as she signals the boys over to us.

"I want to bunk. Blake, wanna get out?" Shawn grumpily asks as he looks around at the Math class.

How I wish he asked me that.

"Why absolutely. You're welcome to join me, babe."

Did I talk out loud?

Another dumb habit I had, people.

"Uh...whatever. I wouldn't mind. But. Not with you." I smile at him and roll my eyes at everyone's chuckles and Shawn's frown.

"Try as much as you want, buddy. She's not budging a foot even." Noel grins at miserable Shawn and laughs. They all sit in front of Noel and I just as Caleb enters with his bag. He takes one look at us and I spot him huffing as he walks in lazily, throwing his bag on the table right next to Blake.

Which was directly behind Noel and me.

Wow. Fate's got to play such bullshit games with me. Even more tragic than Romeo and Juliet.
