Write about someone who irritates you. (10 minutes)

It was in high school. Her eyes were brown and her hair was brown and straight. She was so pale you could practically see the blood running through her veins. She was thin too, and not in the attractive way, but in the way that makes a person look sickly. This person most definitely wasn't my friend, yet she wasn't really an enemy either - and frankly I almost pitied her. She would always walk up to people and loudly declare her existence and interject herself into every conversation even if it was something that she never experienced or knew anything about. She always felt this need to have experienced it in some way or had had a "friend" experience it. She was so loud too, obnoxiously so, about every little thing. In a way that I couldn't stand, and after a while it seemed like everything that came out of her mouth was vile merely because I heard her and her annoying self as she followed my friends and I around chattering like a monkey. I kind of felt bad for hating her because in my heart he knew she was just looking for attention, or she was just trying to make friends but no one had ever really taught her the proper way to do so. She didn't seem to have the ability to read the faces of those around her as she went into odd morbid details about things that no one wanted to hear or listen to. She annoyed everyone around her but I don't think anyone ever had the courage to tell her just how annoying she really was. They just kind of ignored her and talked horrible things about her behind her back. It was actually kind of sad now that I think of it. She always looked sad too. I think she may have suffered from some kind of depression, she definitely had some frightful mood swings. I can't be too sure as it was a long time ago, but perhaps maybe she did know how annoying everyone thought she was, but she still tried every day to get everyone to like her anyway. Sadly the more she tried the further everyone else tried to push her away, ostracize her. Maybe there is something admirable about that though. Though she was irritating to me as well, I hope that she did find some kind of happiness, or she found people to be around that did enjoy her. I mean everyone deserves to be in the company of people who enjoy them, respect them. Silly, annoying girl as she was; hopefully she found happiness somewhere.
