''Oh sweetheart, why do you think we want something? Can't we just talk to our best friend?'' Mike asked in a high pitched fake voice, sarcastically smiling.
''You..you hate me.. I..'' I began rambling, I didn't know what to say.
'' Mike, stop it, just get to the point.'' Casey said, sounding and looking annoyed.
'' We want you to do our math homework for the rest of the year. Otherwise...'' he started but didn't finish, because he knew that I knew what he was talking about. He and his girlfriend knew something about me, that I could never tell anyone. He'd always use it to threaten me.
''Okay.'' I said, really quiet, what wonder they could understand a word I was saying.
''Good girl.'' Mike said, winking while taking Casey's hand and walking out of the cafeteria.
I sat there, suddenly not hungry anymore. I didn't want to do their homework, but if I didn't everyone would know my darkest secret. I had to do it.
I got up and threw my half eaten apple away, along with my tiny amount of peanut butter.
I walked out of the door, heading for the toilette. I quickly got in, and looked at myself in the little mirror.
My wavy hair, my green eyes, my freckles, my pink lips., my cheeks.
I didn't think I was pretty.
I've never had a boyfriend, nobody ever fell in love with me. And I could understand the reason why. I wasn't anything special.
Just a Geeky sixteen year old.
