Better Alone

The smile slipped off my face the same instant my hand dropped from waving goodbye to the others. I exhaled, jangling my keys as I moved down the silent line of cars, heading to my own. Another evening wasted. Another evening feeling like the outsider I was. I slipped into my car, finding peace in the solitude there. I didn't know why I kept going to these things. It wasn't like the results ever changed, though I found myself still hoping that they would. I flicked on the engine, gearing up to pull out. Next time. I told myself. Next time I would say no. It was better to stay home in my room than to try and socialize with people who don't want to socialize with me.
