I went to school and saw Sadie smiling at me today. She has the most beautiful smile any could ever have. I wanted to smile back but then I saw everyone's eyes on me. They notice everything about me.
If I smiled at Sadie today, Her name would get attached to me, which she wouldn't want. So I chose not to smile back.
She seemed upset the whole day so I wanted to clarify with her about the smile thing.
So when I saw her walking back to her house I approached her and said Sorry. Her reply hurt me. She thinks I didn't smile back because I was embarrassed to talk to her in front of everyone.
I replied clarifying that I did it because of my image and that people would start questioning me if I suddenly started behaving sweetly.
She asked me why I pretended to be like that. I didn't understand what she meant by That so I asked her and this time her reply shocked me.
She asked why I pretend to be heartless, rude, and like I don't care about anything. She said that I was a good guy who just pretended to be the bad one.
How in the world did she know that? The thing which Liam, Victor, and Carter couldn't figure out despite being my best friend from childhood. She did that in 2 days.
I couldn't believe that so I said that I didn't pretend to be the bad guy, I was the bad guy. She again refused to believe this. She knew I was a good person, and she believed that. I didn't know what to do then. The only thing I could think was to run away from there and I did that. I left without saying Goodbye.
