Invisible

Chapter 1

Another shitty ass day in this oh-so-perfect world.
Maddies pov
I rolled out of bed a half hour before having to arrive at school. I wiggled into my grey sweater, black tights, and my sperries before twisting my hair into the perfect messy bun. I applied winged eyeliner and put my glasses on again. I swung my backpack over my shoulder and plugged my headphones into my phone and ears, drowning everything out before making my way to school. But as the everyday routine goes the same, I am interupted by Nicole and Somer giggling. "Maddie!" They screeched while waving their hands in my face. Always pulling me back. I wrapped my headphones around my phone and stuffed it in my backpack. "I cannntt waiiit for science class!" Nicole screeched and jumped around. "Why?" I asked. "Because we are doing the early child ed project where you have a partner and you guys have to work together to take care of a fake baby," she said and smiled so hard I swear I thougt her jaw would break. "Why is that good news," I mumbled. "Duh! She was partnered with Dylan! Besides, its better than what we are gonna do," Somer whined. "Calm down. Its just disecting frogs," I said to Somer. Nicole scrunched her nose. We parted ways to get to our lockers and I felt the daily disappointment of being alone, walking down this terrible hall. I just happened to get a locker on the (what we call "popular hall,") where all the popular kids have their lockers located. This included Grayson, Ethan, Ariana, and her no-name clique. As I walk through this hall, all I get is constant abuse. Lets categorize down the hall shall we? On the first left we have pointers. To the right we have the lookers(they absolutely love "observing" your appearance) and then we have the originals. Ariana and the nameless whores who sleep with everyones boyfriends. Yeah. We are all 15 right? I finally make it to my locker where I stuff my backpack in and pull out my math textbook. I jump slightly as my locker slams closed. I am circled by Ariana and the nameless. They are like Wolves. They hunt in packs. I back up until Im pressed upon my locker. "Oh look at you. Rocking those tights really. You can really see the camel toe!" She and the hallway snickered together as people gathered. "Aw, but... I dont see any ass here.." one of the no names yapped and they giggled together. "You are so slim too! Flat chest and ALL!" Another squeaked. I close my eyes and imagine the darkest black possible. I call it drowning. It helps me drown everything out, sorta like meditating. I do it until all of it ends. Then I make my way to class. The days never change. I sat down in the back, all the popular kids that normally sat here were moved up so the teacher could have a better eye on them. Class started and I was zoned out the entire time. None of the teachers ever notice me. So I never get called on, and none of them remember my name to do so. I go through class after class, until I finally come to science with Somer to disect. We all sit at our lab tables. Somer was sitting with me, until Grayson walked over. Somer begins to shake me. "Hes coming!" she whispered to me. "Well talk to him" I said to her simply. Maybe I could take my own advice. I glanced over at Ethan, who was busy making out with Ariana. Somer turned to me again. "Mind if I go with Grayson to do this?" she begged. I didnt want to be left alone, but I know Somer is crushing on him so... "yeah. Go get em tiger," I winked and she grinned. I sat alone, staring down onto a lifeless frog. I frowned. I picked up a tool thing and poked its belly. I giggled. My once in a lifetime silly thoughts were cut off by the teacher scolding Ethan and Ariana to stop with the swallowing each others faces. "If you two are going to distract each other this much, I am separating you. Go sit at table five," he said. I keot my head down. I am at table five. Ughh god I am not supposed to be near him. As Ethan made his way to my left, I took a slight, quick glance at Ariana, who looked about ready to sue someone. I continued to poke at the small stomach of the creature, until it ripped open, causing its small organs to show. I let out a small gasp and Ethan chuckled. I looked at him without realization, and immediately looked back down. His head had a slight tilt. "Whats the matter with you?" he asked. "Nothing." I muttered. I completed the worksheets I had with the disection and sat back again. Ethan was staring into space.... at me. I looked up awkwardly. I felt my glasses being pulled off my face. I looked over at Ethan who was wearing my glasses. I giggled but then swallowed it. No. I cant. "Woaah, this is like... am I high?" he said, going cross eyed. I couldnt do it. I smiled. I smiled like I never have. He took my glasses off and I shut my eyes as he gently slid them back onto my face. I opened my eyes to reveal Ethan throwing me a huge grin.
*At lunch*
After I retrieved my tray of salad, I made my way over to Somer, Nicole and I's corner table. It was cool cause it had some distance from everyone else so we could chat in peace- atleast if Somer and Nicole were more peaceful. As I was walking to my table, a pretty pissed off Ariana approached me. Oh shit why. Why couldnt I have kept quiet.
