It wasn't until I looked up that I noticed a crowd of people surrounding me. I took out each earbud one at a time, then closed my sketch book.

"Can I help you guys?"

They all looked at one another, then finally one took the bold move to speak.

The boy cleared his throat. "Well..." He dragged on that word for what seemed like eternity. "We all saw you over here alone, and we thought we could talk to you. Then we saw you drawing and and we couldn't help but stare. Sorry. Anyways, you are really good, so...yeah."

I couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Thanks?" I said unsure if hiw exactly to react. "And sorry about ignoring you guys. I didn't realize I had a crowd. Sometimes I just get carried away to another world, I don't even know."

Why am I talking so much? This isn't like me.

"We were wondering if you wanted to hang out or something..." This other girl began to say. "We don't mean to call you a loner or anything, but...I don't know where I'm getting at."

"We'll leave now if you want. Sorry for bothering you." I couldn't distinguish who it was who spoke.

Then each and every one if them began to walk away. Leaving me at my spot in the fiction section at the media center.

It was now me staring at them. I can't help but think why exactly they wanted to talk to me. No one ever has. So I did something that if you told me yesterday I'd do, I'd laugh in your face.

"Hold up!"

All of them turned back to me simultaneously.

Awkward.

"Why exactly did you talk to me?i mean, I'm normally never noticed."

The first boy who talk earlier replied. "That's where you're wrong. You are noticed, you just never notice that you are." He paused a moment. "Maybe you should try coming back down to earth sometimes. It isn't all bad you know."

I looked at each and every single one of them who stood before me now. It wasn't till now that I counted five. They each gave me a smile, one that I returned.

"Y'all are some creeps."

This should be interesting.
