Characters featured in this chapter:

Em: character based off of me

Bee: character based off of one of my best friends(?) who's obsessed with murder mysteries and marine biology

Avi: character based off of one of my friends who's obsessed with drawing and anime

Izz: character based off of one of my best friends who's obsessed with Murder Drones and singing

Em clenched her fists, slowly taking a deep breath in. She was already annoyed that her "best friend" wasn't letting her do anything. "Can I work on her hair?" she asked. Em, Bee, and Avi were working on a project for Spanish class where they had to create a person and then write about them in Spanish. They had finished all of the writing portion and had started the drawing portion. Em had tried working on the shoes, but that was what she was the worst at drawing (even though she loved drawing).

"No. Let Avi cook. She's a better artist than you," Bee said harshly, turning back to the project as if nothing had just happened. Avi hadn't heard what Bee said and just focused on drawing the face.

Em turned away, tears gathering in her eyes and anger bubbling up from deep inside of her. There were so many words she wanted to say, but she kept them inside and instead packed up her acrylic markers as the bell rang, walking out of the classroom with my head down and, with a hesitant glance at her bestie, quickly walked past Izz.

[MINOR SWEARS]

Em still had tears in her eyes. Then she finally let the words tumble out. "It... It hurts," she whispered to herself. "I'm not a dumbass, I know talent when I see it. Of course I know Avi is a better artist than me, you don't have to rub it in! I... I do everything for you— I try to help you in any way I can, through both your bad and good moods. I hug you, help you with homework, let you borrow my fidgets. Even when I'M feeling crappy or depressed, which is a lot of the time, I help you through YOUR crappy and depressed times. And how do you repay me? You steal from me, you manipulate me, you lie to me, and you're mean to me... Yet I keep going back to you. And... It all just... Piles up, y'know? All of the times you've hurt me and I haven't said a word. And, yes Bee, I know it was you. You're the one who hacked me two and a half years ago. I'm not an idiot, I know a hacking portal when I see one! That should've been the last straw. But I'm still here. So maybe I should leave you, even though we've shared so many fun times... But how can I bring myself to?! That's the thing, I can't—" Em took a shuddering breath in, wiping her tears, and walked into the history classroom.

Time to pretend this never happened... Because I need to be strong for my friends. My REAL friends.

With one last glance out the entrance to the room, Em dropped her backpack at her seat. And her next class began.
