I was walking to class when I saw a kid picking on Farkle. "Hey leave him alone." I said. "What are you going to do about it?" The boy said. I shrugged "why are you talking to him like that" I asked. "Why do you care? You're just used goods." He said. I looked down. He's right in a sense. I am just used goods. After a minute the boy left and Farkle looked at me and gave me a smile "you are not used goods." I nod and I went to class. I sat there thinking about what the kid said. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked to see Alex. "You okay?" He asked. I nod "just tired." "You sure." He said with worry. I gave him a fake smile "yeah I'm fine." He just nod even though he knows better. What he said was not wrong. I looked around and saw Lucas talking to the boy who I found out is Billy.
The bell rang and I quickly went to the restroom and I slid down the wall and just cried.
Alex's POV:
Everything was weird in class but I noticed something off with my sister. So when the bell rang I grabbed Lucas. "Hey do you no what's going on with my sister?" "I don't know. Somethings going on with Farkle too. Do you think it's the same thing?" He said with worry in his eyes. She hasn't acted like this since she was being bullied before everything went down back home. "Oh no." I said. "What." He said. "We got to find my sister. If it's the same thing I think it is then we need to find her before she gets hurt." I said. "What kind of hurt." He asked. "I'll explain later. Where do we start?" I said. "Farkle might know." He said.
We found Farkle with Riley and Maya. But no Allison. "Farkle what's going on." Riley said. "Someone is making fun of my shirts. Said I don't deserve you guys as friends." He said. "I'm sorry Farkle. But not to sound like a jerk. Do you know what's going on with my sister?" I asked. He nods with a sad face. "He called her used goods." I rubbed my hand down my face trying to control my anger

"Alex, whats going on." Riley asked. I was trying to compose myself and by the looks of it Lucas is too. I closed my eyes and looked at the blonde and brunette "Someone told my sister that. I need to find her now." "Why?" Maya asked. "We just do." I said. "Can you girls check the bathroom." They nod and they left to check.
Maya's POV:
Riley and I went to the bathroom and I saw Allison on the floor crying. I frowned and thought what could possibly happen to make her feel this way. "Riley can you go find the boys and tell them I found her. I think she's having a panic attack. Alex and Lucas can calm her down faster than we can." She nods and leaves. I walked up to Allison. "Hey, it's Maya." She looks at me. "Maya." She whispered. "What's going on?" I asked. "I was called used goods." She said with tears falling down her face. "Oh, come here." I said and pulled her into a hug. She cried into my shoulder. "Let's go find Alex and Lucas." She nods. I helped her up and we walked out of the bathroom right as Riley came back with the boys. I watched as Alex ran to her and hugged Allison.
Allison's POV:
Later we had gym and I was walking with Maya and Riley to class. I had gone to change into my clothes. I when I came out I saw Billy and Lucas and Alex talking.
"Lucas, Alex, ready for practice." Billy asked. I watched as Lucas said. "Sorry but my friend and girlfriend are having a rough time and I need to be there for them." Alex nods in agreement. "Oh come on. Farkle is weird and Allison is just used goods." Billy said. The sudden change frightened me but made me smile. I knew Alex was pissed just by the look at his face.

"I don't know who you think you are to talk about someone like that because they're different is one thing; which you should not do, but my sister is a different story. Stay away from my sister." He said and walked away. I smiled and saw Lucas calming down due to our friends. I ran up to Alex and hugged him. "I love you." I said. " love you too." He said. The next day Riley had us write our flaws on our foreheads. So I wrote used goods on mine. Alex wrote worrier on his forehead. Mr. Matthews walked into the room and looked at all the students. He smiled and took a moment and said to each of us "Riley." Who had insecure on her forehead said "insecure. I care what others think of me." "Maya" Mr. Matthews said. Who had broken written on her head. "When I own it I don't feel so bad" I smiled. "Allison." "Used Goods. It's what my dad called me and it's how I feel after loosing my mom and other things." "Alex" he said. My brother spoke up "worrier. I am always worrying about my sister and making sure she's okay. Sometimes that can be a bad thing." "Good. Now" Mr. Matthews began as the door opened and Billy walked in. I looked at Alex with a scared look. Billy thinks he has no flaws but comes around to realize he's jealous of Farkle. Mr. Matthews said "We're all human beings. We're all on the same team. And if we sense our own flaws because we see them in others, it's true friends that help us wipe them away" Alex took a wipe and wiped mine away as I did his. I smiled. Maybe if I surround myself with people that care life will be alright.
