Candy Rose, or as others liked to call her, "pipsqueak", "piece of trash", "worthless", "loser", and various other names, hid behind her gleaming red locker door, peering at her reflection in a tiny magnetic  mirror. Why did she even bother to try? None of this mattered. After all, she was a worthless piece of trash. What did she have going for her, an ugly 15 year old with curly brown locks and teasing, grassy green eyes.... but an education? She had no friends. Nobody cared to get to know her.

Candy pushed her cracked red glasses up her nose, biting her bottom lip when suddenly--

WHAM!!

She jumped back in surprise, blinking back tears as she was shoved against the lockers by some skinny figure, her right hand throbbing.

"You think you're something?" A high pitched cheerleader with way too much make up asked, a ridiculous scowl on her preppy face, yanking Candy's books from her hands and shoving her onto the floor, "Just go die already! Nobody wants you."

Candy wiped her eyes quickly, annoyed with the satisfied smirk on the cheerleader's ruby red lips as her posse walked up beside her. Candy forced her facial features to stay neutral, as she had learned in the past, as the girls mocked and yanked at her.

Finally, the bell rang, and the cheerleaders sauntered off, pleased smiles on their lips as they flipped their long blonde hair over their shoulders. They all looked the same at this school. Every. Single. One.

Candy shakily picked up her books, suppressing the deep and wild feelings raging within her heart. She wanted to lash out... she wondered what it'd feel like to wrap her tiny hands around their pretty little ne--

She shook her head as she stumbled to class, clearing her mind. If only she could alter her past.

The present? This surely was not a present.
