The Story of my Life

Chapter 23

Shortie.

That's what calls him Sanvi Biswal.

My best friend calls my crush short.

To be honest, she isn't lying.

He is quite short. And skinny. Like me. Well, I'm not short, but you get the point.

He is about right below my forehead.

Of course, I did some research and found out that he will grow up to be taller than me.

I know, Weird. And CREEPY. But don't use that against me.

Anyway, today I couldn't stop staring at him, for some reason.

I swear he caught me a few times, but using my reflexes, I quickly shifted my gaze before mine could meet his.

And something awful happened.

Myra started hanging out with Sandy and Neeti, the two girls that hate my GUTS for no freaking reason.

Mia Samartino was going to be my partner. She was one of the kindest, smiliest people in my class. But of course, MYRA took her as her partner instead, and was in a court with NEETI and SANDY, which was the court right next to JUNIOR'S COURT.

They kicked me out because I didn't have a partner, and had to go with some snarky girl Aaliyah Muhammad named . She left halfway through the game to go to the BATHROOM for TWENTY MINUTES.

Like, what the hell! But, Mr. Johnson played with me instead.

He was actually quite fun to play with, and I was on his good side because I had help with the paddles and had gotten a SPECIAL PADDLE. I was over the MOON.

Of course, I chose the purple hexagon one. But, I had a chance to get Junior to notice me, and the hilarious thing?

The girls that hated my guts kicked me out. And you want to know the most hilarious thing??

They started acting all "nice girl" about it at the end of practice. That made steam come out of my ears.

I thought Myra and Mia were my friends. I guess not.
