After walking for a while Leila and I came upon a huge tent. She opened it upandside was a huge meeting area with a few people in it. There was a gaming console some books/magazines, a laptop and a tablet. I admired the place while walking as Leila lead me to a certain place. She then disappeared leaving me to explore the room I was in.
I walk over to the ping pong table seeing a girl and a boy playing. A second girl and boy were spectating at the side making comments here and there. The whole tent was full of different people playing and socializing with one another. The place was so lively and fun. I approached the ping pong table where the group was. As I drew closer one of the boys noticed me and their head perked up. I began biting my inside cheeks.
"Hello. You must be the new recruit that was found in the last hurricane. You must be so confused as to what is happening. My name is Bennett. What's-
By this point the rest of the kids playing had noticed me. One of the girls had tapped Bennett's shoulder.
"Calm down Bennett and let the rest of us speak." She then turned to me and smiled. "Hi. I'm Jordan. Jordie for short. You've already met Bennett. The boy next to me is Declan and next to him is Mikayla."
"So it's Bennett, Jordie, Declan, and Mikayla?" I say pointing to each
"Wow! You got names correct. Congratulations, what's next? The alphabet?" Mikayla said sarcasm seeping through her voice. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
I blinked no one had ever acted that way towards me since I was usually ignored or ignored others. To experience it now was a bit of a shock. I could tell immediately would did not like me here. I focused on what each person looked like so that I would be able to notice them later.
Bennett was dark-skinned with brown curly hair and freckles on his broad nose. He wore a blue shirt with a tower of Naruto characters on it,khakis, and black shoes. My eyes flickered up quickly to see his brown eyes and then down.
Jordie had platinum blond hair and was fair skinned. She had light blue eyes that crinkle as she smiles. She wears a white sweater with a gold collar that says normal people scare me. It is paired up with a pink skirt that reaches her knees and finished with pink heels.
Declan had dirty blond hair in a quiff with the same eyes as Jordie but a bit stormier. I could tell they were related most likely brother and sister. He wore a blue shirt with an orange vest over it. Next is some brown shorts and regular black sneakers.
Last was Mikayla, I did not want look at her because I feared she would say something rude again. I did it anyway so that I would be able to know how she looked.
Mikayla had dark green eyes which my eyes flickered up to see she was glaring at me. and black hair with purple highlights in a ponytail. On top of it she wore a red beanie and a red shirt with fake rips on it that said I Don't Give Two Doritos. Underneath it she had black pants that had real rips and black sneakers. I continued biting my cheeks till the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.
My eyes wandered around as Bennett began speaking again. As soon as I realized they were wandering I panicked. All my symptoms were coming back without the meds. My therapist Dr.Meddle said that this is a bad sign and I should take me medications soon. I don't usually listen to what she says but I guess somethings do stick in my head. I began to list them in my head to see how far gone I was. Poor eye contact, self-harm, problem paying attention, anxiety, any my rudeness to Leila signaled I was being unaware of other's emotions.
I began to count the symptoms over and over in my head. 1...2...3...4...5...6...1...2...3...4...5...6...1...2...3...4-
A snap brought me to back to reality. I noticed everyone staring at me...
Whoops?!
