When you look at me what do you see? A girl whom never stops smiling?
Well, trust me I have, even though it rarely happens.
A girl that never cries?
Well, I have. More than you can imagine.

As much as I hate to admit it, my life is not perfect. I am not, perfect...

"I'm only human...

I crash and I fall down...

You're words in heads in my head...

Knifes in my heart...

You pick me up and I fall apart...

I'm only human..."

I wish I could go on, but that's all I know. You probably wouldn't have wanted to hear the rest anyways...

I'm not the musically gifted one, that's Maya.

I'm not the one destined for a crazy romance, that's Maya.

I'm not the blonde beauty, I'm not the girl with the ocean blue eyes that captivate you and never let you go, no that's not me... that's Maya.

Don't get me wrong I love my best friend. I haven't forgotten how lucky I am to of found my better half.

I'm a good person, I am. I know I am.

But what if I'm not good enough...

My parents are Cory and Topanga.

"Theres only one Cory and Topanga."

Uncle Shawn would always say that, and sometimes still does...with a hint of sadness to his voice...

Maybe I'm not the only one that fears not being good enough.

Uncle Shawn seems to feel that way.

Perhaps, Maya. And Farkle. And Lucas.

Perhaps, I'm not alone.

But, what if I am? What if I am all alone?

I wouldn't want to bug my dear friends, that I love, with my problems.

Oh, how I would hate to be thought of as a burden.

Looking back, Maya used to always feel that way...

* Flashback*

*kindergarten*

I stood at my favorite tree.

La, la , la, la, la, la.

*thump*

Wat was that I wonder?

I turn around, to look and see....nothing. Huh.

I turn once again hearing movement behind me.

Still nothing.

I cross my arms, and sigh in defeat.

Hmph.

A pair of arms wrap around me, from behind.

I was about to scream.

I even opened my mouth.

"Strang-er!!!mhmh"

One of the arms that wrapped around me, went from my waist to around my mouth, to muffle my screams.

I felt a breath against my neck.

The hand went back to my waist, allowing me to speak.

"Who is it?"asked
