Creative Writing (don't bother reading)

Just a snipet I wrote out of boredom. Pay it no attention.

I sat across the table from another vague acquaintance, someone I hardly knew who thought she knew me. She smiled and kept the sparse conversation going at a snails pace, telling me about any meaningless nonsense, simply so we wouldn't be sitting in silence. I nodded and continued to rip my sandwich into pieces, eating them one by one. The conversation meant nothing but it was welcome, being an outsider is not easy in this school.

The conversation was cut off by the loud tittering from the cluster of girls across the lunchroom who were all crammed around one table giggling over some pop culture magazine. I tapped my Chucks on the ground to an imaginary beat and looked at the group, profiling each of them in my mind. All the same. Nothing unique or interesting about them. I rolled my eyes and looked back to my lunch mate, a smirk sliding over my unglossed lips.

"Idiots," I muttered, my dark look burning into the backs of their bleached blonde heads, "probably fawning over some other pre-pubescent teenage boy."

The girl across the table giggled, and looked slightly more relaxed now that I had actually said something. Startled by the friendly sound I looked back to her, a hesitant smile on my lips. "You agree then?"

"Who wouldn't?" she smirked back, "We may have uniforms, but they take it to a new level. Matching hair, bags, oh look. matching nails!" she shook her head mockingly, "and its all fake! Fake hair, fake nails, fake tan, goodness. Someone should check the back of their necks for a 'Made in China' sticker."

A genuine smile stretched across my face as I appraised the girl, finding something I must have overlooked when I originally sat down. Finally someone with a molecule of intelligence! "I agree, maybe you aren't as big of a waste of space as I thought!"

She looked slightly taken aback and smiled uncertainly, "Er... thank you?"

I smiled, "I'm only kidding, oh, by the way, whats your name again?"

"Audrey," she replied with a smirk, "lovely memory you've got."

I smiled and shrugged "I'm working on it."
