1 A Planer Jane

You know that person in the back of the class who hardly ever speaks and you don't even know their name? 

Well, I'm that person.

I'm the girl whose existence is so unnoticed that even my parents forget I'm in the house. The girl who's like a plane Jane only more plane and without a name. I mean at least plane Jane gets to be called something...me?

I'm more invisible than the word. Instead of someone bumping into me then saying "oh sorry plane Jane, didn't see you there." People opt to instead say "oh sorry...you."

Yeah....I'm that girl with no name. 

Oh, and in case you were wondering I don't have any friends or love interests. 

It doesn't really matter anyway since this is no rom-com movie where the girl who's a nobody has a small circle of loners just like her and has a crush on the popular guy even though her chances of getting with that guy are close to zero but then by some miracle catches the guy's attention and after a lot of drama and mental fights finally gets to be with the guy of her dreams....

No this ain't some romcom crappy movie from the ninety's.

Unfortunately, this is my delusional life filled with nothing but misery.

Crap, first day at school and I'm already late. I blame you late-night TV series of the Vampire diaries!

I rushed into my first lesson for the day. Without glancing at the teacher I could hear the scratching of chalk on board as they were busy writing some crappy thing I'm not going to pay attention to since it's the first day of school. Seriously do they think anyone's actually gonna give a flip about.....what is that physics? 

Ah, double crap!

"Ms. Thornton, you're late"

You know that one teacher you wish didn't pay any attention to you but actually does? Yeah, well let me introduce to you asshole number one, Mr. Rickson.

"Sorry sir, won't happen again."

I sat down at the very last row in a corner, all alone. Sad isn't it?

"I sure hope it won't Ms. Thornton, see class being on time is very important especially in the world of society..."

The entire class groaned as Mr. Rickson began his one-sided conversation about tardiness. The guy just goes on and on.

Someone, anyone kill me now.

After what seemed like forever the bell finally rang. Students rushed out without waiting for dismissal.

I slowly made my way to math class. Note how much I am not looking forward to it.

*****

It was now lunch and I had made it through Biology and Chemistry. Biology isn't a bad subject, just the one teaching it who's bad.

Going into the cafeteria I paid for my plate and made my way to an empty table in the very back. 

Yes people I eat alone too, shocking isn't it?

Sitting alone actually isn't that bad it gives me time to think, well I have plenty of time to do that seeing as I'm always alone but that is not important right now.

With eyes narrowed and looking like a predator, I scanned the cafeteria. There were your usual emo kids in the other corner, looking as gloomy as ever. Then there were the band members who always seem too enthusiastic for my liking. The nerd and geeks, goth group, and fantasy thrillers.

"Hahaha, oh man, and then what!"

Came a loud voice from the center table, ah your usual obnoxious and unnecessarily loud jocks. It seems the cheerleaders have seated with them today as well. Trying to get into one of their pants I'm guessing. What a bunch of slu-

Just as I thought that I felt an eerie feeling. As if someone had been watching me. Who am I kidding no one's watching me. I'm hardly even noticed. I'm probably just imagining it.

But the feeling wouldn't go away, it just got stronger and stronger. My eyes swept across the area...you know just to be sure.

No suspicious activity other than the cafeteria lady scooping up fallen spaghetti just to place it back on the serving rack...yuck!

I was about to give up my voyage but then noticed a black haired, large figure with arms crossed and eyes as green as the Amazonian forest looking right at me.

Usually, I'd be thrilled if someone paid as little attention to me as they would an ant but not in this case. 

This guy was the very last person I'd want to get acknowledgment from. 

Why do you ask? 

Simple.

That creepy, tall guy is the toughest, scariest, and the cruelest guy in school, Nicholi Herricks. 

He's feared by everyone including the teachers. No one dares to mess with him. 

There are rumors that he's in the mafia and is the heir to a very powerful mafia group, it's even said he was ticked off by a couple of guys who parked in his spot, all five of them ended up in the hospital with severe injuries. 

I even heard that he once killed a guy with a freaking toothpick and sent his victim's organs to his family!

Okay I just made that one up but you get the idea. That guy is dangerous and he's looking right at me! 

Just as I was about to break eye contact the man in question stood up from his table, his hands in his pockets as he began walking in my general direction. Not once did we break eye contact. 

Wait is he coming here? Holy shi- ...what do I do, what do I do?! Should I just run for it? No that'll just piss him off. How bout I lay in a fetal position, wait then won't I just look stupid? I got it, when he gets here I'll call out to a random passerby and run toward them. Problem solved.

Only one problem, there are no passerbyers, everyone is seated already! Crap I didn't think this through and he's getting closer by the second. 

Okay, think brain give me something! 

Why not just run for it?

What no way, he'll definitely chase after me!

Okay then scream rape

Wait won't that just get him arrested?

Exactly, and an arrested Nicholi means no trouble for you. Problem solved.

Yeah, that could work, thanks brain!

Okay as soon as he's near I scream rape with all my heart and soul.

Step, step, step.. he's getting closer, don't sweat so much Reign you can totally do this.

His deep forest green eyes pierce through me, the bangs making it harder to see the hypnotic orbs. His strides were strong, determined.

Forget this crap I can't do this! He's scary as hell. Help someone help me!

Taking in a large dose of air, I did the only thing that I could do. Following my brain's advice, I screamed

"R-"

*Ring

Unfortunately, I only got to the first letter as the bell interrupted me. Students got up from their tables and rushed out of the area. Using the chaos to my advantage I left with the swam, blending in perfectly.

I let out a heavy sigh in complete relief.

That was way too close for comfort.

****

It's been three weeks since school reopened, three weeks since that "incident".

Nothing has happened since then. 

Now that I think about it, there was a door right behind where I sat and according to sources his next class was through that very same door. I even saw him go through it when I was busy rushing out. 

Guess that means the whole eye contact thing was also in my head.

Great job there Reign, nearly got a guy arrested for no reason at all.

Way to be dramatic!

"Okay, class today's exercise is important as it will be in next week's test. If you have any problems with this chapter, go ask someone else for help. I'm busy."

Miss Peyton, the biology teacher said, hoisting her too-big glasses higher up her long, thin nose; which ironically had a mole on it. Now, all we need is a giant pointy hat and we got ourselves a homemade witch.

"The assignment for the next four weeks is going to be done in pairs,"

The class hollered, already moving to a friend of theirs. Some jock idiots high-fived each other while doing some sort of bro call? 

They just sound like a bunch of baboons to me.

"Oh no, no no no no. Sorry, but I'll be picking your partner this time."

A round of boos and "you suck" came from the class.

Honestly, I don't mind being given a partner, as long as they don't make me do all the work. 

"Alright, Courtney with Michael,"

The girl with a too-short mini skirt giggled as she made her way to her muscle-headed boyfriend. They kissed in a not so censored manner.

I'm gonna have to wash my eyes with bleach when I get home.

"Daniel and Sarah, Broc with Sheen,"

Wait we have a Broc in this school I always thought they didn't exist.

"Gabriel and Adrien, Clara and Samantha,"

Wow, it's so sunny today. A bit too hot for my liking. I prefer winter when it's cold.

"Finnick with Leslie,"

Is that a boiled egg on the ceiling? How'd it get there, it's not even the Home Ed class?

"Nicholi you're with Reign."

That cloud looks like a butt, huh it just farted out a heart.

Wait, did she just say Nicholi?

"Miss Peyton I'm sorry I don't think I heard you clearly since I was stuck in my delusional little world but, correct me if I'm wrong. Did you say I'm paired up with Nicholi?"

"Rest assured miss Thornton, you heard correctly."

Okay, breathe girl maybe you misheard her again.

"Like, Nicholi Herricks?"

"Yes"

"Like the Nicholi Herricks.?"

"Yes"

"As in the tall, broody, scary guy whose looks can kill?"

"Yes, miss Thornton, the very same Nicholi who sits at the very back and has exceptional marks in my class."

"Kay, just checking."

"Good, now let's turn to page-"

"I'm sorry Miss Peyton but are you sure we're talking about the same guy? I mean we could be talking about a completely different pers-"

"That's enough miss Thornton, you are paired with Mr. Herricks and that is final. Now take your seat and keep quiet."

"Yes ma'am"

"Now class turn to page 27, we will be discussing RNA, Ribonucleic acid and its three functions."

As soon as she began to speak I completely zoned out. Placing my head on my folded arms I let out a long agonizing groan.

Why, why universe, what did I ever do to you except being born? 

That's it I'm committing suicide when I get home. 

Oh but mom will probably miss me, okay she won't even notice if I'm gone or not. But her famous lasagne will surely know I'm missing. Wait is today Tuesday? She's cooking spaghetti and mince, I certainly cannot die today. 

I'll do that after I get my spaghetti. Yeah, suicide can wait.
