"I need to get a couple books from my locker, I'll catch up with you guys!" I call to them, already hurrying in the opposite direction.
It was the end of the first day of school and the school was rapidly emptying out so it wasn't difficult to lose my friends who would have most likely insisted on tagging along with me.
I wasn't a social butterfly and having so many people's attention on me constantly was starting to wear me down.
I get to my locker peacefully, putting in the combination and reaching in for the books I needed.
"Hi." Elise's voice breaks my concentration and I nearly whack my head on the door of my locker.
I lift my head out to stare at her and note that she's all alone for the first time, her hench girls nowhere to be found.
I roll my eyes and continue searching for the books I needed. "What do you want, Elise?" I ask coldly, very uninterested in a holding a conversation with her.
