Love Me Not

1

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you just decided to vanish into thin air? To wonder if people would notice and even care if you were gone? That is exactly how I feel. I'm the "nobody" of the school. I have amazing grades because I don't have a life. I'm not invited to sleepovers or parties. My brother is the star football player and a party animal. My sister is the queen bee. She's the leader of one of the biggest cliques in school. I am what you would consider as the disgrace of the family.

It's currently Monday, so I am already in the shower getting ready for the day. I'm not one of those unpopular people that hate life, just because they don't have attention. So after I get out of the shower I go over to my vanity and start my make up routine I do every morning. Just because I'm a nobody doesn't mean I have to look like trash, right? Once I think my winged eyeliner looks perfect, as I cannot settle for anything less, I walk over to my closet to pick out my outfit. Since I live in California the weather is always warm so I reach for some high-waisted shorts and a cropped top. I know my mom will bitch if I walk out in something this skimpy, so I grab a maroon cover up. I slip on maroon Converse to match.

"Camille, your brother is taking you to school, so hurry! Oh, and you have to stay after until he is done with practice!"

"I'm coming Mom. Remind me again why I can't just take my car? I've barely been able to drive it yet!"

By this time I am downstairs in the kitchen with my mom and brother.

"Where is Nicole?" I ask.

"She has a doctor appointment."

"Okay, well are you coming or not? I have places to be!" my brother complains.

"Calm yourself, I'm right here!" I say as I follow behind him.

We get into his white Lexus RCF. Yes, expensive, I know. Both of our parents are employed as world-class surgeons, so we are all pretty spoiled. The car ride to the school was silent. The silence didn't bother me because I enjoyed the scenery around me.

My brother pulls into the school lot and parks in his assigned spot. Soon after, half-naked girls crowd around him to ogle at him and offer him anything he desires. I sigh at the sight and push through the bimbos, as it happens every day.

Stepping out of the car with Ashton when all the girls squeal in excitement pretty much drops my self-esteem six feet under. If I can just get through this day, I can go home. I start to walk to my locker. Once I reach it I open it and get everything for first period, then head down the hall to calculus, walking in the direction of room 122. I walk into the classroom, greeted with the sight of 25 of the smartest seniors at our school, leaving me to be the only junior.

"Who's the new kid?" a senior asked as I approached my desk.

"I was not informed that there would be a new student in my class. What is your name, Miss? Are you sure you are in the right class?" Mr. Halverson asks me

"Really?! You don't know who I am?" I reply.

"No should I?" Mr. Halverson looked puzzled.

"Camille Lee?" I say, getting only a puzzled look in response.

"Sister of Ashton and Nicole? I've been in this class for two semesters."

This brings recognition to the features of my classmates and teacher, who motions me to take a seat.

I just nod my head and take my seat. I told you I'm the nobody...

Class goes by really fast, as did the whole rest of the day. I ate my lunch in the library because who knows what would have happened if I sat alone inside the cafeteria. It's like a jungle in there. After the final bell rang I took my time walking to the football field. Ashton's practice doesn't end until 4, so it's going to be a while. I pull out my phone as I reach the bleachers. It is currently 2:30, so I scroll through Twitter, finding nothing interesting, just celebs bashing on each other and who slept with who. I go to open my book bag to start my English assignment when my phone shows I have received a Snapchat.
