When I arrive at school the first thing I see are notes tapped to my Locker, "freak" "emo" "cutter" "fuck you" "faggot". I look around and see the group of boys in my class laughing their head off and right in the middle is Jake, he wears an evil side grin.
I tear them off and thrown them into the trash as I make my way to the bathroom. Just my luck, Marina's in there. She sees me crying and comes over and hugs me.
"What happened?" She asks with her angelic voice. I hadn't realized how much I missed it.
"Jake and his friends had notes all over my locker calling me a freak, emo, faggot." I can barely make out the words. My vision becomes blurry from all the tears.
"Lizzy, you aren't a freak I think you're a really beautiful and sweet girl and I'd love to go out with you some time." I'm in shock. Why should she want to be friends with me?
"Can we go out tonight?" I ask, fearing she may reject.
"Yes we can. Let's catch a movie or something?"
"Sounds good" AHH she wants to go out with me but just as friends.
"Alright let's get you cleaned up before 1st" she takes paper towels and start rubbing the tears off my face. Then she reaches into her bag and gets her make up out and starts fixing mine. "You looks beautiful by the way" she says with a smile and with that she hugs me.
In that moment I wanted to kiss her so bad but I couldn't because I knew she was dating Jake and I didn't even know is she had feelings for me.
The bell rings and I am taken out of my day dream.
"See you in 1st, lizzy. I have to go meet up with jake." She gives me one last hug and I am left forever wanting more.
