“Is that really your name? Did I say it right?” Class had just gotten out. Ashley and her friends walked past me, “accidentally” scattering my books that I had set on the floor by my desk. Now some guy was talking at me. Of course, the thing he chose to have a conversation about was the source of my humiliation.

“Yes. That is really my name.”

“Wow that’s pretty strange.”

“Really? I hadn’t noticed.”

“Are you always so hostile, or do you reserve that for the people who are trying to be nice to you?”

“Are you always such an arrogant dick head, or do you reserve that for tormenting the new girl who would clearly like nothing better then to be left alone?”

“Wow. There’s no need to be a bitch about it. Sorry I bothered.”

He walked away, meeting up with some of his friends and I couldn’t help but feel a little rebuked. I stared around the crowded hall and wanted to cry. Everyone around me had their own friends. I was apparently the only loner. Of course, that was the way it had to be, wasn’t it? If there were too many loners, we might end up banding together and thus eliminate the lowest social status available. Where would people like Ashley be then?

And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

I hadn’t realized I had started to sing aloud Franklin by Paramore until the hallways were empty and everyone was on their way home. My voice echoed through the vacant school, but I couldn’t bring myself to feel embarrassed. I couldn’t even bring myself to stop my voice from vocalizing what my heart was singing. No wonder why they call me a freak.
