Chapter 11- See Her Fail

I suppose seeing Molly be kicked out was a good thing. And now I'm in. But now I'm stressing over regionals. Three weeks after my leg heals to prepare. That's no time at all practically. Once I get this darn cast off I have to be flying through moves in order to pull this whole thing off and get us to state. They need four girls to compete in order to even be let into the competition. There is no other girl ready for this except me. I have to be the fourth.

I still have to worry about Molly at school. It seems everyone has seen it. At least I have one person on my side, Kit. Molly continues to try and take her away from me. But good thing Kit doesn't abandon her friends when a so called better one comes along.

Now I have to worry about my sister. After the fight before the gym competition where I broke my leg things have died down and she has put on her sympathetic face but who knows how long at will last. Since we share a tiny room things can escalate quickly.

I am distracted all night by what's going on between me and Molly. I don't want to tell anyone. I don't want anymore pity glances. Although I do think it's bullying. The photo. The punch. All of it. I stayed up until 10:30 thinking about it without even starting my homework. I watched the three other girls practice today so I didn't get home until late.

I finally finish my homework around 12. I tiptoe around my sleeping sister in the bunk above mine, and climb under the sheets and turn off the lamb beside me. In almost a split-second my eyes are shut and I'm asleep.
