I Was Sitting In The Corner Novels & Stories

I reached the Coffee corner a little bit earlier. When I entered the place, there were very few customers and it was quiet. I sat on the table right next to the window. Among the entire customer, I just noticed the one who was sitting at the corner table, and his face was buried behind the newspaper. I ordered a cup of black coffee and fixed my eyes outside the window with the hope of seeing Angee walking in any second. But I startled when I heard someone, “walked in earlier than I had thought… that's impressive."

There was no mistake that by that she meant otherwise. Autumn looked at her, still not satisfied with her response, but I merely shrugged my shoulders as if it wasn’t a big deal and walked away. I found an empty seat in the corner of the room. A girl was sitting there alone. The corner table wasn’t exactly first class, no one wanted to sit there since it was on the far end of the cafeteria and close to the cleaning station. As I walked closer, I noticed that the foods on her tray were left untouched. I let out a sigh. Maybe she was having a bad day, just like me.

The bell rang luckily so I was able to run out as they were distracted before they got to me. I ran to class with speed like I was running for my dear life. I took a seat at the back by a corner with my head bowed to my book not making eye contact with anyone, that was how I attended all classes. No one sat beside me or around me almost like it was forbidden, the corner where I sat was strictly forbidden for everyone else. Just when I thought I had succeeded in getting away from them, Amelia and her friends surrounded my desk.

He spared me a glance while sitting in the extreme corner bench in the last row across the wall adjacent to a window, looking outside however, he did not wish me back. Scratching my chin I stared his figure. He never overlooked me like that! Uh, may be he is angry on me for I did not fight back to the bullies in the Eva Alley. "Hey, I wished you a good morning." it is difficult to keep my curiosity to myself.

She smiled awkwardly and lead me to wear Archer sat "That's my girl" Archer smiled widely and I looked at him blankly. I looked at the table and looked at Archer again. I don't want to sit side by side with him. We're sitting at the corner , the high table sticks to the glass window and our chair is side by side. Even the view of New York is definitely beautiful here. "Why are we sitting like this?" "I love the view" He said looking out through the window and then back to me again. He pulled out the seat for me and I sat down at the corner.

I had no idea how old Kaden was. I ignored the stares and found the farthest and emptiest table in the corner of the hall to sit on. Their gazes still followed me, wondering what I was doing. They must have been mind-linking each other, trying to decipher my behavior, but there wasn't really much to decipher. I wasn't welcomed here, and I knew my place.

I already knew what they'd look like when they saw me. I walked straight to the back. My spot. The back row had four desks. I took the middle one. The desk to my left was empty. The desk to my right was empty. The two behind me? Empty. The one in front? Empty too. No one wanted to sit near me. No one wanted to be seen with the loser. The fatty. The girl who made a fool of herself in front of the whole school. I used to hate sitting here. Now I was used to it. It was safer anyway. Less people to whisper about me when I was alone.

Soft jazz floated from a vintage speaker in the corner, the kind that made you feel like your thoughts were suddenly important. People were already settling into a circle of mismatched chairs, a strange combination of armchairs, plastic stools, a beanbag, and something that looked like it used to be a piano bench. Jayden Ortiz sat on the left, waving Maya over like a lovesick cartoon character. Maya tried to act casual and almost tripped on someone’s tote bag. Impressive, “ hahah” I didn’t say anything, but the laugh stayed bubbling in my chest. I took a seat by the window. I needed something, Space? Silence? Maybe a personality replacement? I had no clue. I just needed something.
