#25: Invisible

"Oops, sorry! I didn't see you there!"
  That's ok, Jack thought, no one ever does. He continued walking through the halls, trying to get to his next class, Biology. He walked swiftly and quietly, to avoid any further awkward collisions. He thought back to middle school where it seemed like everyone wanted nothing to do with each other. Jack missed those times. Now, in high school, everyone had groups that only certain people belonged in. Needless to say, he was not one of those people who belonged. At first, he didn't mind. He figured that he would have found some people to hang out with by the end of freshman year. It was now his senior year and he still had no friends. Not even acquaintances. He didn't belong anywhere. It made him invisible to everyone at school, even the teachers. THey never called on him to answer questions, and sometimes they marked him absent even though he had been sitting there the whole time. At lunch, he just ate in his car as opposed to sitting alone in a sea of people. That just screamed pathetic. He was counting down the days until graduation. Today, though, his car was in the shop, so he had to sit in the ceteris. After getting his food, he found a table in the corner and sat there staring at his food. Just as he was about to eat, a girl with blond hair sat down in front of him and started a conversation. Maybe this year won't be too bad he thought to himself.
