I always ended up in a friend group of people do didn't understand me. They constantly pushed me aside and interrupted me whenever I tried to speak. I felt like I could never say anything that removed showed my true self, as my friends never listened. Other people, got the idea that I was just really shy. No one ever let me show otherwise. There was nowhere to go if I finally left my friend group, because who would want to be friends with a shy person? This reputation stuck on me. I was becoming the shy person I never was. I felt like I was chained down to this role. All I could be was the "shy kid" with my friends. Nobody knew me, the real me. Eventually, I got tired of this. I decided to start making small steps to be more involved in group conversations. Making small comments so maybe his friends could figure out that I'm not whom they assume I am. ... The diner we were eating at was mostly empty I noted as I stumbled behind my friends Tip and Segan. I've known them for a couple of years now and follow them everywhere they go. They choose a booth and I promptly took the wall seat. Tip and Segan were deep in a conversation. I played with some sugar packets while waiting for the waiter. "Did you really just take their kart? Oh my god, Tip." said Segan. We went to the store earlier. Tip had needed some groceries, so Segan and I came with him to keep him company. Segan had gone to the restroom at the time and left me with Tip. Tip replied, "Well, yeah. They had the last box of cake mix. My girlfriend would kill me if I didn't get her some by tonight," he sighed and rolled his eyes, "You know how she is." "Did they see you take their kart?" Segan questioned. "I don't think so..." Tip spoke as he burrowed his eyebrows trying to remember that moment. Silence. I lifted my head to see if anyone of them were going to continue the conversation. This was my chance. "Well actually, I heard them talk bad about you once you sped around the isle--" I murmured quickly. Segan interrupted me to add, "Wow, they must be as blind as a bat." I frowned but tried to continue my thought, "They wished that Tip would burn the cake in the oven." A person in the next booth chuckled. "Did someone say something?" Segan puzzled as he looked around for the source of the chuckle. He heard the laugh, but not me talking... Tip leaned on the back of the booth, "I don't think so." Curious, I started to wonder why someone laughed. Was it at me? I didn't think I was that loud... Out of the corner of my eyes, I spotted the waiter coming to our booth with our food. As we were leaving the diner, I managed to get a look at who was sitting next to us in the other booth. A vibrant looking she-cat. We made eye contact for a quick moment. I swiftly looked away and rushed to catch up with my friends. I didn't know at the time, but she was the one who would change my life forever... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
