Lacey's pov
I was sitting in first period as I watched the teacher talk about the book we were reading Maniac Magee. I once again had already read it. They just keep choosing the books that I have already read like they use my library to build the curriculum. Maybe they do or I just have that amazing taste in reading. Luisa wasn't here today because she decided that she wanted to be sick today. Loser. I was alone today and Dean wasn't here because he is a library helper. Self centered jerk. Anyways I was sitting next to Penelope and she was texting in class. I rolled my eyes. I continued to take my notes that I didn't even need because I read the book twice as it is.
"Lacey!" One of Penelope's friends calls after me.
"What?" I snapped
"You're so ugly, when you popped out the doctor said 'aww what a treasure!' And your mom said 'Yeah let's bury it!' "
"I won't slap you becaus if I did then it would be considered animal abuse!" I retort.
"Whatever at least I'm not self absorbed and obsessed with fame flaunting your only famous friends around!"
"Actually I know a lot of celebrities. I even know Demi Lovato!"
"Yeah right and I'm Leonardo DiCaprio!"
"I bet you can't even spell DiCaprio!"
"Can too! D-e-c-a-p-r-e-o!"
"Wow you're an idiot!"
"Shut up Medusa!" He says and I really want to attack him but I can't get suspended again. Mommy Mila would be so pissed off. Dinah would beat me and I really don't want that.
As the day went by everything went extremely slow partly in fact because I it wanted to go fast. I like school most of the time but I also like staying home and watching TV or going to one of the girls' events. As the day went by people started to call me Medusa of course because of Penelope's minion. I didn't let it show how much it actually hurt my feelings. One teacher told me that I was a great student but didn't have a great personality. A wonderful thing for a teacher to say to a student. ' you're smart but no one likes you!' That's basically what she told me. I lost my book somewhere between 1st and 4th period. I scraped my knee in gym class and got tripped by Penelope in the hallway.
Camila picked me up and we drove home in silence. I walked up to my room locked my door and sat on my bed doing my homework.
I did my language arts homework in like 20 minutes cause I already read the book. I finished that and I started to do my math homework. I couldn't figure it out. I started to think back to math class to try and figure it out but all I can think about was what everyone was saying and calling me in class. It just words hurt. I don't want to tell the girls cause they'll turn it into a big deal. I decided to try and shake it off and I walked down the hall to ask Hunter a question about my math homework. I walked in and I guess I didn't realize it but a tear fell down my cheek.
"Hunter?"
"Yeah kid!" He says strumming on his electric guitar without a speaker which makes no sense to me.
"Uh I have this math homework that I don't really understand!"
"Ok let me see!" I walk over to him. He looks up to take the paper and Los at my face.
"Lacey were you crying?"
"No!"
"Yes you were I can tell."
"I just had a bad day that's all!"
"Lacey I'm your brother you can talk to me."
"I just had a bad day that's all!"
"Okay just know that you can talk to me or one of the girls."
"I know can you just answer how to do this."
"Yeah it's an expression so 2x+5."
"Oh I get it now thanks!"
I left the room and I went on my iPod to check Instagram. I looked at my photos and the last one I posted had 100 comments all calling me medusa or a fame hog. I broke into a million pieces right there. I died basically. I started crying into my comforter, which was really comforting. I laid there and cried, I didn't know what else to do. I hurt me and made me think about a lot of things.
"Lacey dinner!" Mila says opening my door.
I don't want any!" I sniffle out.
"You know you don't have a choice you have to eat."
"I don't want to!"
"Lacey are you ok?" She walks into the room.
"I'm fine!" I curl into the covers.
"Sweetie what's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
"Seriously what's wrong you're obviously not ok because your eyes are red and puffy meaning you've been crying and you have unfinished homework which you never not do so talk Mija."
"I had a a bad day!"
"What happened?"
"The kids are just so mean."
"What did they do?" I pulled out my iPod and showed her the picture.
"You have an Instagram?"
"Yeah Luisa made it for me."she nodded understanding then scrolled.
She looks through my photos and sees all of the comments. Her face goes into a face of pain and anger all at the same time. She continues to scroll and her expression changes too many times to count.
"Why didn't you tell us."
"Cause I didn't want you to make a big deal out of nothing."
"This is not nothing!"
"Mom it just a little annoying that's all I just please don't tell the other girls."
"Lacey I can't do that!"
"Please mommy Mila Can we keep this between us?"
"Ok Mija but you know none of this is true!"
"It's just so many people saying these things and it does hurt but I just focus ahead maybe cry a bit but I just keep moving.•
"That's my girl. Just tell me when stuff like thins happens ok?"
"Ok mom!"
"Come here!" She opens her arms into a hug I go into her arms and hug her. We go to dinner and eat and laugh. I don't really eat that much I took a little bit and put it in the trash before any of mommies saw. I left the table and went and got ready for bed. I pulled out my iPod and saw that mommies, Demi, Ariana, and all of the boys followed me on Instagram. I smiled and went to bed happy.
