"Can I borrow your pen?" some random guy asks. 
                          
I simply hand him an extra pen, without exchanging a word. 
                          
"Thanks" he says with a slight smile. 
                          
I turn back to my work. 
                          
If I was Lisa, that guy would've been Jake's friend, Jay. They'll start talking, hit it off and Lisa would have another guy added in her harem. 
                          
Except, I'm not Lisa. 
                          
I don't exactly have a friend in this class so I concentrate fully on my work. I hear conversations around me. I plug in music to drown out the noise. 
                          
The bell rings and I walk to my next class. Unfortunately, William is in this class. 
                          
"Hey Lisa's sister" he purposefully greets me like that. 
"Sad that you can't even remember one simple name" I say, sitting down in my seat. 
                          
He's not exactly a bully. He just likes to test me some days. There will always be jerks like him. 
                          
"Why should I when Lisa is so easy to remember" he smiles. 
"Says the basic white boy name. I think I've met three Williams on the way here" I calmly say. He grins. 
                          
This guy is always smiling. 
                          
"Alright, settle down" the teacher announces. 
                          
"You're lucky" he warns. 
"You couldn't think of something to say fast enough" I tell him as he walks past me to get to his seat. 
                          
My usual seat mate sits down next to me. She's this shy quiet girl, Ashley. 
                          
"Hi" I greet and she gives me a whispered 'hello'. 
                          
"C-can I have lunch with you?" she quietly says, halfway through the lesson. 
"Sure."
                          
"Quiet down at the front please" the teacher says over her shoulder. 
                          
"S-sorry mam" the poor girl timidly says. The class laughs at her apology and her face turns bright red. 
                          
"That's enough" the teacher says again, lessening the laughter. 
                          
The bell rings for lunch. 
                          
"Alright. Let's go" I tell Ashley and she quickly packs up. 
                          
I was going to tell her to calm down but she looks already red in the face so I leave it be as I wait for her. 
                          
William hands me a note as he walks out with his friends. 
                          
"And this?" I ask, eyebrow raised. 
"To read, duh. Don't tell me you forgot how to read" he fake pity me. 
                          
His friend laughs, hooking his arm around William's neck as they walk out the class. 
                          
I open the note and it was very simple. 
                          
'Prom?
[_] Yes
[_] Definitely 
[_] Absolutely'
                          
So he does have a bit of culture in his bones. I can give him points for that. 
                          
But it's a rude joke. 
                          
"All done" Ashley smiles. 
                          
I crumble up the note and throw it away. 
                          
"Is it cool if I brought a friend?" I ask the group. We usually sit wherever is a free table in the cafeteria. 
                          
"Isn't she like-really quiet?" Olivia asks, not even looking as she checks herself in her tiny mirror. Emily nudges her. 
"What?" Olivia asks, oblivious at the red faced Ashley.
