She was the most out of character popular girl he knew, Zak decided. Usually, popular girls were the way they were in those movies Nicolette liked. Catty, bratty, bitchy. They didn’t go out of their way to be nice to guys who picked up their cards. In fact they usually bitched guys like him out. Even the way she defended popularity was weird. As though it was a democracy. As if. It was the farthest from one. The popular were the mean, attractive, and manipulative. Rare popular kids were too-good-to-be-true types, but Zak never pegged Tina as one. Despite her kindness here, he still didn’t. She still didn’t ever stop Victor and Trevor’s antics. The idea of fitting him into a uniform actually scared him – what if one day that was what someone did? Forced him into an ill-fitting cheerleading uniform? He squirmed and squeezed his wrists.
He glanced over at Tina, not sensing hostility from her still. Still. He blinked when she said he had made this more complicated than he needed to. ”We’re from completely different social circles and I’m generally at mercy to yours. It’s not that complicated for me to assume you wanted to hurt me.” He said. But, she didn’t. She was actually treating him to lunch. If Nicolette could see this, she’d die laughing. Actually, if she would die, he hoped she would come stumble across this site. Wait, then he’d have to explain this to his parents. He took his thoughts back. Her comment that he was individual because he didn’t like meat made him shrug. ”I’ve never been a follower. I hate following people. Or trends. I just exist. And most people hate that.”
