The Truth Behind The Mask

You put on a good face

"That was the last chapter guys...", everyone exchanged looks from around the room. One kid took a stand from his seat, "What?! That can't be the end! That's the worst ending ever", controversy began around the room. People kept going back and forth about the fictional girl in the story, and how none of them understood why she killed herself. But I knew, I understood, but it was better to stay shut and blend in. The last thing anyone wants is to be labeled as different. "Alexa? You've been so quiet over there, you wanna tell us your take on the story? Ahh Mrs. Blackstone, she loves getting under my skin. "Erm no.", I could feel my face growing hotter and hotter and all those of beaty eyes staring at me. Although the bell rung not to after I spoke it felt like I was glued in that chair for ages.

What always amazed me is how there are hundreds of faces in these halls but there's a different person behind each and every one. See now there is Ian and yea you guessed it, he's captain of the football team. Just your typical "too good for girls" jock. But what you didn't know is that his father beat him till he was 16. His father passed shortly after his 16th birthday. Everyday since than Ian blamed himself for his fathers death and believes he could have been a better son. Now there's Veronica, your "too cute for school" girl. But what people don't know about her is that her thighs are laced with scars from front to back. I know this because she used to be my best friend. Veronica shoves Alexa as she passes by and smirks. "Hey loser."

Now you guys are probably wondering who I am, how I know all these peoples back stories, you probably assume I was one of the popular girls. Well sorry to break the news to you but I'm as boring as my name is and would be labeled as "the quiet girl". My names Alexa and I'm a suicide survivor...
