Trying my Best

OCTOBER 2nd, 2014

During the 9th period, I had lunch. I usually sit alone at a table with an empty seat. I ate some French fries, and I tried to do my geometry homework which was way too hard. I asked the kid across from me, who was also sitting alone, if he had geometry.

"Hey, do you have geometry?" I asked the kid.

"Yes." He answered.

"Can you help me with my homework?" I asked. 

"Oh, I'm not very good at geometry." He said.

We talked a little more about it, but this conversation didn't go anywhere. Some days I really do feel hopeless. I put in the effort to talk to someone, and they just don't seem interested at all in becoming friends or anything. Other days I wish I could get to know someone. I feel so lost at school, and I don't speak up often because I am too scared.

Trust me, it's not as easy as it seems.
