Sophomore Year: December

I can hear her voice in the back of my head repeating itself over and over again.

Don't let them get to you, they're just jealous.

That's all I keep thinking of. It doesn't matter whether I repeat it once, twice, three times or even a million, it's not sinking. The words are speaking for themselves but have no meaning; they're empty.

If I could just disappear and get away from all the bullshit I would but it's two against one, Kaylee and I. Her mouth is running but I can barely hear a single word she's saying, the anger taking over faster than a full on speed train. By now, my blood is boiling and my mood has drastically changed from just a few moments ago. It feels like I'm being attacked by an unleashed vicious dog which may I add, is probably right. If I could find a reason for this nonsense I would but I simply can't because as of right now, she just wants to piss us off and it's damn right working.

"I don't even know why he hangs around with you." she gives me a look of disgust "I mean just look at you, you're ugly as fuck."

Ouch.

"And look who's talking," Kaylee shoots back "You're so insecure about yourself that you have to take it out on others, way to go."

"Don't even get me started with your pathetic ass. As a matter of fact, you shouldn't even be on the team because honey you can't dance for shit. Everyone pretends to be all nice to you but once you're on that field, you become the talk of the school."

"Will you just shut up?" I suddenly snaped. If there's one thing worst than insulting me then it's definitely insulting my best friend. I don't take crap from anyone and I certainly don't let irrelevant people attack my friends, I'm not about that.

A smug smile made its way to her lips as she places both of her hands onto her waist. "Oh Sadie," she shook her head "You're so oblivious to everything and everyone around you. Can't you see that you're being used? That people only throw themselves at you for your looks? They want your popularity and that's what you give them."

"I'm sorry but did you just describe yourself?" Riley looked at me as if I was speaking another language. "You know, that part about using people and being completely oblivious to the world around you? Everyone hates you, Riley. Your big ego stops you from actually seeing outside the box and damn I can tell you that it's a cruel world. You cling onto the football team to get attention but all your persuading it being a complete slut because everyone knows your disgusting ways."

"At least I can get some." she said through gritted teeth but that only results in me laughing at her extended stupidity.

I could get some any day with all the guys that threw themselves at me but the major difference is that I had no interest in doing so. I rather not expose myself to random guys that don't give one fuck about me just to have them leave the minute they get what they want. I'm not one of those girls.

"Please, as if that defines who I am."

"But that's the thing about you; you act and look like you're a slut while in reality you've never had a boyfriend or even kissed anyone for that matter. You're a virgin Sadie, everyone knows it."

For some reason what she had just said hit me hard. I suddenly felt embarrassed, ashamed and most of all angry. I wanted to kick her right in the gut repetitively until she couldn't get up anymore. I wanted her to disappear and never come back. I wanted to smash her face into the concrete wall but of course, I didn't.

I could hear Kaylee going at her but the words were nothing but a blur, I couldn't hear them correctly. She was raging with anger and basically exploding by my side as I watched Riley's face turn to complete shock. You could hear her from miles away and I started to wonder if the attention was onto us but I was too zoned out to even notice. The girl standing in front of me being the only thing I was seeing and it sure as hell was red.
