Nothing Special, Just Me

Chapter 1

*Beth's POV*

My name is Beth Donaldson. I'm 16 years old. I'm a senior in high school (I'm supposed to be a junior, but I got to skip a grade). I'm known as the nerd. I'm never noticed. Well, I never realized how fast that could change.

~Monday, April 4, 2016~

It was lunch time. I was talking with my best friend, Faith Smith. We had been friends since we were in preschool. Since then, we've been inseparable. She is drop dead gorgeous. She has long, flowing blonde hair. Her eyes are a beautiful shade of blue. She is A LOT prettier than I am. I'm surprised she is still friends with me, considering I'm pretty much a loner and everyone wants to be her friend. My hair is long and brunette. My eyes are one of the ugliest shades of green I've ever seen. (As you may have noticed, my self esteem is VERY low.) Anyway, back to my conversation with Faith.

"Kaylie told me that she was going to steal Kyle away from me," Faith complained.

Did I mention that Faith is dating Kyle Keplinger? No? Well, she is.

Me? I'm single. Always have been, always will be.

"Beth.....Beth?"

"...," Lost in thought, I hadn't heard a word of what she'd said.

"BETH," Faith yelled to get my attention.

"WHAT?! Oh my gosh! I almost had a heart attack!"

"Sorry, but were you even listening to me?"

"Pfft....Why would I not be listening to you?....But uh...could you repeat everything you just said?"

"I was telling you about how Kaylie said she was going to steal Kyle away fr-" She said after rolling her eyes at me.

"HEY NERD!" I heard from across the room.

Kaylie was yelling at me from across the cafeteria.

I don't say anything.

"You are such a loser! Nobody likes you," she taunted me.

She stood up in front of everyone, laughing her head off. My blood was boiling. I got angrier and angrier by the second. I usually let them walk all over me, but today....Today was different. I was not going to let her talk to me like that EVER AGAIN. Then, the school's biggest bad boy and most popular boy decided to join in with Kaylie. It was as if they wanted to get slapped.

"Yeah, I'm sure blondie over there hates you," Zack yelled

Kaylie continued laughing and my anger level was rising VERY quickly. I was lost in thought, when I felt a drink get poured over my head. I see Kaylie standing with an empty cup in her hand. I stood up and was about to go after her, when Zack started again. He walked right in front of me.

"Aren't you supposed to be smart? I can tell what you're thinking. Don't even try it. She could take you in a second. That was a REALLY stupid idea," he mocked me.

That tears it. NO ONE. I mean NO ONE calls ME names and gets away with it. Before my brain processed what to do, I kicked Zack in the balls.....VERY hard. Then, I punched him in the face SO hard, that I think the bruise will still be there next year. That's when I realized what I had done. I NOT ONLY kicked THE ZACK ANDERSON,  but I PUNCHED him too!

That's when the yelling began.
