Masquerade Love

Kyra Auburn’s POV

“Freak.”

Gabrielle, the ‘It’ girl spat in my face. I dodged out her way and sighed. I lowered my head and continued walking to my locker.

“Pfft, I think she’s like dumb right, girls?” she said loud enough for everyone in the hallway to hear. They started laughing though nothing was funny. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and got the books out of my locker to class. In this school I’m known as the ‘freak’. I don’t talk unless it was necessary, which it never really was. This school is more of a fashion parade than a place for education. They call me dumb though I’m not. My name is Kyra Auburn. My bright blue eyes with grey flecks are covered by my thick glasses and without them I’m practically blind. My long blonde hair that looks completely dead, all tamed into a frizzy bun, braces that god knows how long I’ve had them on for. I wear clothes that are over-sized and hobo style. I’ve got to say, I’m completely ugly and a loner... in this school.

I entered my homeroom and sat down on the far back corner, as everyone start entering. ‘New year, new start’ I thought. I looked up from my glasses to see who was in my class this year. The second I looked, I regretted it.  Of all classes in this school, ‘they’ just had to be in this one. The whole pack of ‘it’ was here. My class. The one who made my life miserable at school. It was the popular screeching girls and the arrogant guys. The one who ‘controls’ the school is Austin Vinson. I lowered my head I doodled on my exercise book.

“Oh look who’s here, isn’t it the dumb freak,” Gabrielle said filled with disgusted looking at me up and down. The others laughed along and settled into their seats whilst she walked up to me and swiped my desk clean and my books fell onto the floor.

“Whoops, accident happens,” she falsely said and sat on the desk right next to me. I sucked in a deep breath and calmed down. Son of a mother fucken cow. I was good at holding my anger because I went through all these years practising holding it, having them bullying me every single day. Austin come forward and sat in the seat in front of her.

“Uh, babe?” she said it sweetly to him though he ignore her.

“Hey babe, my place tonight yeah?” she continued sounding like she’s desperate. All he did was “Mmm,” she smiled widely and leaned back into her seat. She looked over my side and faked a gag.

I walked home, step by step not caring how long it’s going to take. *BEEP BEEP* I turn around and saw a girly fluoro pink convertible driving past. I swore I almost gagged. Looks like she got a new but ugly car.

“Someone looks like they’re too poor to afford to good looking car,” Gabrielle yelled whilst driving and zoomed off.

“Huh, can’t afford huh?” I muttered under my breath and continued walking. Then a gorgeous silver Infiniti sped past. It was pretty obvious that it was Austin’s car. Finally I arrived home and was attacked by my mum. My parent is the type of parent that encourages her children, though I’m their only child to do whatever they want and be open to everyone else. At least they wouldn’t rage if they knew I lose my virginity and I did but he is now my best friend instead mum would be proud and would non-stop talking about the my first experience. This is why I don’t want to tell them. It’s a secret between Derik my ex who is now my best friend, Enisa and I.

“OhMyGod ohmygod ohmygod! Hurry up and get your arse up stairs and change into something nice!!! Hurry!” Mum said quickly. I know this is not how a mum should talk.
