Emma's p.o.v.

Delilah......Jake......Chad......Ella......

I'm sitting in the corner of the cafeteria watching everything unfold before my eyes. I watch as Jake caught Delilah. I saw the smirk on Ella's face when Delilah faced her. I saw Delilah run out and I saw Jake follow her. I see everything because I'm nothing.

I'm a nobody that nobody knows about. I wear dark black clothes, I hide in the corner till everyone is out of the room. I've been like this for as long as I can remember. I've hidden from all that can hurt me.

When I was about ten years old, my mother left my father. He was heart broken after that. He stared getting really into drugs and alcohol. When I was around 12 he started beating me. It didn't stop. He will never be a good father to me.

I quickly and quietly follow Jake and Delilah out of the cafeteria. I keep my head down so no one knows who I am. I follow Jake and Delilah into the girls bathroom. I see Jake trying to get into one of the stalls that I'm amusing that Delilah is in. I hear coughing and then a disgusting vomiting sound. Then it clicks. Delilah was forcing herself to vomit. She was doing what Ella wanted her to do. She was making herself thin.

You have to be skinny if you want people to like you. Your too fat. Your worthless. No one will love you. You will die alone like your mum.

My mum

My father always sounded like Ella. Maybe she's his real daughter and I'm just an adoption that went wrong. Delilah was blaming herself for something Ella did.

I ran into the bathroom and I pushed Jake out of the way. I crawled under the stall door and unlocked it. I opened the door and let Jake into the stall to help Delilah. I stood there watching Jake get Delilah out of the stall and get some cold water on her face. He looked up to face me after he was done rinsing Delilah's face but I was gone. I showed to much of my existence already. I couldn't let him see me again.

About a month ago I put a note in his locker. I said I liked him. I haven't gotten a response from his yet but I know he got the note.

Maybe he thinks your a freak like everyone else. Maybe he likes me but doesn't know how to talk to me. Maybe he doesn't know who I am. I tell myself these things as I run to my locker to get the books I need for my next class.

I'm walking through the hallway going to my next class. I'm looking down at a book I picked out of the library. Its the rush hour in the hallways, I always try to avoid the rush hour but I forgot about it this time.

I'm walking and I bump into someone or something.......

Oh god no!
