Unspoken

letter 12

12 / letter to a person whose caused you a lot of pain

Dear Blair,

I can genuinely say you've caused me the most pain in my high school years. You're like Regina George. And I feel very victimized. It all started in the ninth grade. I was just a mere freshman. So were you. But you knew everybody and had tons of friends. You were "popular" and beautiful and rich. And I was, well, me. There was no reason for you to pick on me to be honest. I wasn't a threat, I didn't look for trouble nor did I try to make myself known. I was always the one who stood in the corners and far away from trouble. I was a wallflower. But I guess trouble came to me. It was all very cliché.

It was a Tuesday morning where I came to school with my glasses on because my contacts had betrayed me that day, I had braces on due to the huge gap I had. And I suppose I looked especially geeky that morning. That was the day, you crashed into me in the lunchroom and blamed me for it. I mean you did realize you were the one who crashed into me, right? But you got mad and defensive and yelled at me for it. That's when Finn stepped in. You guys were dating that year and he helped me out. He told you to back off. And no one was more shocked than I was. Golden Boy Finn Parker defending the geeky freshman. You were so mad. I saw smoke coming out of your ears I swear. You were fuming and stomped your feet like a kid and ran out of the lunchroom with your little posse. I was still in shock standing in the middle of the lunchroom with about a gazillion eyes on me, at least that's how it felt.

Finn smiled at me and he apologized for you. You were so lucky Blair. Even though, you were a total bitch, he apologized for you and he went after you. He liked you. He really did. But you're those type of people who don't know what they have until they lost it. And the next week, he broke up with you. You just didn't value him. I sort of hate you for that.

After that day in the lunchroom you were set out to destroy me. Every moment you got you made my life a living hell. And naturally made high school crappy for me. You spread rumors about me which in turn made me have 0 friends. Then, you'd get me in trouble for things I never did. You were in charge of stealing the rivalry school's mascot, the goat. And when you got caught by Principal Beedham, you blamed it on me, you twisted the whole story around and made me seem like the bad guy. Of course I got in trouble, nobody had my back. I had no friends, only Charles and he had his own problems. You got me suspended for 3 days, I mean how much of an evil bitch could you be?

The worst part is you never showed any sign of regret or remorse. And yeah, I'm bitter and I won't try to be the bigger person here, because I'm not. I hope one day I can forgive you. I won't write everything you've done to me in this letter because there’s some things I'd rather not even think about.

I just truly hope as the years pass, your eyes will be opened and you'll see how things aren't just black and white. Screw someone over and you'll get screwed over just as bad. High school isn't it. It's not all about popularity and stomping on everyone to get to the top. It's just high school, there’s so much more to life than just that, and I hope you realize that. I hope you realize your little friends aren't really your friends. They use you. They always have. And not even you deserve that.

I've been caused tons of pain Blair, I really have. But you really have had an effect on my life and I just wish it wasn't this way but it is.

But I'll try my best to let go of it. And I hope you also let go of what's holding you down. Because I know you're a better person than what you let people see.

I know it.

Sincerely,

Olivia
