I thought I caught a glance from them.
A smirk, a deriding look.
I freeze.
Is there something in my teeth? A hair or thread that is out of place?
My god, what have I done.
I must look like a fool.
How do I even deserve to sit here, in public.
Everything I've done or said before, they must think it has been a lie.
Indeed, it was a lie.
I've been pretending to be someone I am not. And I am nothing.  
What should I do, now that the truth is out?
They'll turn me out. Then what would I do?
What the heck. I'll confront them. All is lost and I have nothing more to lose.
I walked hastily over.
"Hi guys..." I started meekly, "how's it going"?

"Oh hey Liz! Didn't see you. Wanna join us?"
