*Unedited*
If you ask me one thing i am good at, i would want to say pretending, but that's not what i would say. I would say something lame like, singing, or playing a sport or something like that. The reason is, i am amazing at pretending. Right there is just another example of how
much I pretend. Sure I may be good at some of those things, but pretending is at the top of my list. All I ever do is pretend. I pretend for my friends, my family, my crushes, my teachers, strangers, you name it. I pretend I like things for the sake of others. Like something stupid, like one direction for example, I pretend to like there music and get super excited when some one gets tickets. But I really cant stand them, and I could really care less. ( No offence 1D fans) There is really no reason i do this...oh wait yes there is. If I told everyone what I was really thinking no one would like me. Though i feel half the time no one does anyway. So i just keep on pretending. Pretending what i am best at.

Looking up from my pencil is all it took to stop my breath. Because Ms. Sherman is staring straight down at me.

"Skyler Dimmings."She says looking swiftly at her clip board and back at me, so she can try to act like she remembered my name, no one ever does.

I gulp."Yes."

"Since you seem so bored that you are so interested in that pencil, Perhaps you would like to tell the class what the purpose of the pancreas is? This is something you learned in the 6th grade. It should be fairly easy." She says narrowing her eyes. Damn. When did we even start talking about the pancreas? Like random much? I honestly did not know. I would probably remember if I was actually thinking, but I'm not.

"Umm. Does it break down the food for your small intestine?" I whisper. It was more of a question than a answer.

"Your somewhat correct." She says annoyed. Wow okay I got it somewhat right. I'm okay with that. "Would someone else like to give me a more precise answer?" She says turning her back to me. I hear snickers and tiny giggles all around the room. I hold back all the urge to flip her off right then and there and instead shrink into my chair. Carly's hand, of course, shot straight up, and of course Ms. Sherman asks her to speak to the class. Her booming voice answers the dumb question. But I'm not listening, all i hear is her nagging voice in the back of my head. But i do catch it when she cocks her head in my direction. I growl under my breath and then sigh.

I shove my binder into my backpack in defeat and when the bell rings i am the first out of the class.

As i trudge down the stairs i see the door fly open on the opposite side of the stair case. I stop and look up for a second, which was a mistake because none other than Daniel Camburge, the dumbest and most annoying kid in the medical academy was stomping down the stairs behind me. He bumps into me sending me flying down the last 5 steps of the concrete stair case. I tumble around for a second and then the gasps followed by hysterical laughter's fall in. I instantly hop to my feet and try to walk it off before realizing i had hurt something really badly in my shin and my ankle.

Pulling up the ankles of my scrubs, i see a huge bump/ bruise forming already. Tears prick at the back of my eyes, but I blink them away as quickly as possible. Daniel fallows me as I limp the rest of my way to class trying to ignore the laughter.
Daniel is putting his arm around me, saying how it wasn't his fault and stuff. Yeah right. I roll my eyes and remove his arm from my shoulders. Ugh. I know exactly who was crashing through those doors, causing me to stop on the stairs. Asshole. He always has to be so obnoxious. Why? Ugh. Whatever. I have never been so happy in my life to reach 3rd period. One of my good friends, Cassy, was in that class, and I finally got rid of Daniel.

I find myself laughing a bit while i tell her the story. She of course laughs hysterically and i cant blame her. I know i would too.

"Its. not. funny...!" I say between laughs.

"Suuure. You know you are so clumsy." She replies and rolls her eyes.

I love Cassy and all but she is a gossip queen she cant keep a secret to save her life. Suddenly I regret telling her. Damn now the whole school will know that Skyler, the awkward clumsy freak embarrassed herself once again.

I sit down with a sigh, then it hit me how much it really hurt. My face turns from happy to a mask of pain.

I look down and examine my injury once again, and my best guy friend, Jake looks down too.

"Oooh, that looks painful." He says.

"Ya" I say, my voice strained.

"How did it happen?"

" Ifelldownthestairs." I quickly mumble, but of course he got it.

He lets out a little yelp but then quickly covers his mouth to stifle a laugh.

"Are you serious?" He says after his little laughing fit.

"Stop laughing!" I slap his shoulder.

He starts to chuckle. "Fine" He chuckles.
I tune out all of the rest of class, only thinking of one thing. And it's not my leg.
It's the asshole who caused it.....
