Sometimes I wonder if to them, I am just a charity case, the girl who had no friends and then they “adopted” me. I’m not the girl who sits alone at a table, no I’m worse than that. I sit at a table filled with girls who claim themselves to be my friends, but yet I sit listening to music and reading all throughout lunch not talking to them.
