****Sophie's pov****
It's Monday morning again, I hate going to school; seeing girls who are obsessed with fashion, boys who flirt with the popular girls and there's me being bullied by Chloe snow, the queen B of the the school along with her little pests Tori and Betty. Its like they were made to make my life miserable.
''Sophie get down here now!!!'' I heard my mom yell my name from the dining room.
I'm the only child of my parents, I lost my dad when I was three now I'm left alone with my mom and I have to say, she has really tried a lot .
''Coming mom'', I replied and quickly packed my hair in a ponytail .
Breakfast was ready and my mom was seated waiting for me.
''Morning mom'', I said taking my seat.
'Morning pumpkin'', she replied and I quickly frowned my face.
''Mom, I told you not to call me pumpkin anymore, I'm not a little girl", I said quite annoyed. You might think I'm overreacting but it reminds me so much of my dad and I do not like to be reminded of him.
''I know you are all grown up now but that doesn't change the fact that you are still my little baby'', she said coming close to give me a hug. I felt really bad and attempted to hug her tight, my mum is my backbone and she has been through a lot.
''Alright mom but promise you wouldn't call me that in public'', I said.
''Okay, I promise'', she replied in a not so sure tone.
After I finished eating my breakfast, I went to brush my teeth and do my usual morning routine and then I wore my usual.
My big brown top with a baggy jean and an old snicker.To round it all up, I wore my glasses and if you have been wondering why I was bullied in school, well now you know.
I'm the shy nerd of the school, the unattractive nerd and the laughing stock of the school. School hasn't been the best for me, some say high school is the best time of your life but to me it's the worst. I feel so sad whenever the boys make the who's hot list and who's not list and I'm always obviously the one ranking the who's not. Not like I care about their opinions but I just wish things could go different for me.
I brushed my brown hair and went down to get my old car.
* * *
I picked up my best friend Katie who has been my childhood friend and understands me more than anyone else. She has a dark eye with long brown hair and she backs me up anytime I get bullied.
She is not very tall but she is very pretty and much more fashionable than me sometimes I wonder why she's friends with me.
She has tried severally to change my wardrobe saying I dress like a woman from the nineties. I ignore her telling her I love the way I look and she just rolls her eyes and tells me. ''I know you'll come to me for a change soon'' .
''Uuugh drive slowly Soph, you are going too fast''. Katie said grumbling loudly.
''Get used to it, I can't change my mode of driving.
''Right, I forgot how stubborn you are'', Katie replied in a low tone.
''I heard that'', I replied laughing at her.
*************
I got to school and parked my car and as Katie and I were walking to our class I saw the most popular and gorgeous guy whom I've always had a crush since seventh grade. Zayn Anderson.
He has this awesome blue eyes and brown hair with a gorgeous smile, i'll just say he's perfect. The girls were all looking and drooling over him as he walked through the passage. Suddenly, the awesome view was cut short as his girlfriend, Chloe came and kissed him right in the hallway.
My blood boiled as I saw her, it's not only because she is dating my crush but also because she insults me.

I remember talking to him once in ninth grade by bumping into him, he was very nice to me and since then I have always wanted to talk to him again but because I'm always so shy around him and I doubt he would even remember me after such a long time, so I got used to the idea of never speaking to him.
'Soph! Soph!!', Katie's voice brought me back to reality.
'Oh yes, I'm so sorry I got carried away'.
"Omg! You were so starring at Zayn. I thought you were over him".
''Of course I'm over him, not like I even stand a chance',I lied walking away.
''Then why are you getting nervous all of a sudden and why are you walking so fast''.
''No reason'', I lied again.
I'm such a terrible liar and Katie knew I still had a big crush on him. I didn't want Katie to think I'm an obsessed girl who has been crushing on one guy all her life and obviously has zero chance .
''I'm not buying that, I have noticed the way you look at him, there is no doubt you still like him''.Katie said in a suspicious tone.
''Okay you win'', I said .
Fighting with Katie is always pointless because she always ends up winning.
''I still like him, but I know I don't stand a chance with him, he is much more happier with Chloe''.
''Are you sure about that because he always has this sad look anytime he is with the witch'', Katie said with hatred written all over her face.
As we kept on talking about the terrible things Chloe had done, someone ran over me and I noticed it was no one other than Chloe Snow.
