3 Free Food

Parties. They are so exhausting. I always have to keep up appearances and make it seem like I am paying attention when someone talks. Occasionally a boy or two comes over to ask me out, but the majority of them have been rejected previously and learnt their lesson.

The girls in my grade don't talk to me much, they say they don't want to be associated with people like me who are lower class, but I would like to think that they are just jealous. Jealous that I'm pretty enough for boys to flock after me, jealous that I'm smart enough to earn myself a scholarship to get in university. Not that I care much of their opinions though, I would much prefer it if none of them bothered me.

While zoning out, ignoring all the noise around me, the image of the little red haired kid popped into my mind. Mm, maybe I should ask to pinch those cheeks of his next time.

Unfortunately my thoughts were soon interrupted.

"Hey look, why is this dirty orphan here?"

"I know right, I'm surprised she even has decent clothes to wear."

Did I forget to mention that apart from the girls avoiding me, there's two that always annoy me. Chloe and her underling Cecilia. One brat, one idiot. Or maybe both brats and idiots. I want them to just shut up, if only there weren't punishments for disfiguring someone's face. Sigh.

Not bothering to deal with them, I got up and left. Perhaps most of the time I'll talk back and make them learn their places, but I'm absolutely exhausted tonight. I walked out of the room, out of the building. I never last long at parties. Or should I say parties never last long for me. I only attended for free food anyways.
