Alone

Once there was a girl who thought she was liked by many kids at her school. She had good grades and tried her best at everything she did. After a while she noticed that some of her peers were talking about her. She tried to ignore it but it secretly nagged at her. She noticed that whenever she was in front of people or when they didn't know she was behind them, they would secretly talk and giggle about her. She tried to ignore it but it hurt. Then she started to notice that her friends were talking about her behind her back. She ignored it but she was really upset. Soon her emotions started to affect her school work and her grades started to drop which made her parents mad at her, which made her upset and depressed. She kept ignoring her feelings but they were like water behind a dam. It can only hold so much before it floods over. And when it does it's like BAM. And there's nothing that you can do about it. It just hits you and you realize that you are just something that people use to make them feel better. You realize that your best friends hate you. That you're nobody. That you're alone.
