Zeanne Hates Me

Zeanne hates me.

And I definitely think she does...

For some reason, my classmate has always looked at me like I've done something unforgivable. But strangely, I don't mind it. She still stays around me somehow.

Whenever our eyes meet, she glares. Then somehow she looks at me all the time with a glare, and then we bicker out of nowhere.

I don't even know how our arguments start. One second we're minding our own business. The next, we're already annoying each other. It's almost like we have some kind of invisible competition that neither of us remembers signing up for. We argue over the smallest things, and somehow everyone around us has already gotten used to it. My friends don't even react anymore which is unusual. They just sigh and continue whatever they were doing.

One time she got mad because I borrowed her chair. It wasn't even her chair.

Another time she called me an idiot for lending someone a pen. I still don't understand that one.

She also has this habit of acting like she knows exactly what I'm about to do. Sometimes she answers my questions before I even finish asking them. Other times she tells me not to do something seconds before I actually decide to do it. It's weird... almost suspicious.

And every time we pass each other in the hallway, I get this weird feeling. Like I've seen that expression before.

Odd to think I've seen it before.

Sometimes I catch her looking at me when she thinks I'm not paying attention. The moment I notice, she looks away. Neither of us says anything during those moments. It's just... silence. A strange kind of silence that feels heavier than it should. Then someone eventually clears their throat or walks between us, and whatever that moment was disappears.

Other times, she just keeps staring.

I usually end up staring back.

Then one of us gets annoyed and leaves.

Mostly her.

Did I do something wrong?

I've asked myself that question more times than I can count.

As far as I know, I've never offended her. I've even tried asking her directly.

She just stared at me for a few seconds and walked away.

For some reason, she looked more upset after I asked. Which only confused me even more.

There are other weird things too.

Sometimes she says my name before I even realize she's talking to me. Sometimes she starts a conversation and then leaves halfway through.

And once, I caught her looking at an old class photo. The moment she noticed me, she hid it and told me to mind my own business.
