STARGIRL

5. Abel Rogers

Arabella used to be a webcam girl.

Rosario had never felt as miserable as she did that day at school.

Everyone was staring at her, some people would laugh and snicker and others would look at her with sympathy.

Above all she was starving, she purposely hadn't eaten in a few days and when she would she'd just drink water and nibble on bread.

"Rosario, you and Maddox broke up?" Abby Jennings asked as she approached her.

It wasn't the first person to ask that day either. Rosario shook her head in response and just kept walking.

The stares were still all too much and her insecurity was beginning to kick in. She picked up her pace and stumbled into a bathroom where she locked the door behind her.

Rosario immediately went to wash her face in the sink with cold water, she looked up at herself and felt the urge to cry.

Maddox this, Maddox that, sometimes she wished she never would've began to date him and this was one of those times.

Rosario didn't expect one of the restroom stalls to open and she didn't expect Arabella to waltz out of the stall either.

Arabella casually walked to the sink where she began to touch her eyelashes.

Rosario looked at the girl with pure envy and jealousy.

Then she looked at herself and did what she always did, began to judge and compare herself.

She wasn't nearly as tall as Arabella and while Arabella had straight and luscious hair Rosario had thick and curly locks. The major difference was the fact that Arabella was thin and well, Rosario wasn't.

Looking back at Arabella through the mirror Rosario knew Maddox didn't cheat on her with Arabella but, she knew he probably thought she was gorgeous. It would be crazy to say she wasn't and if he said he didn't find her attractive Rosario knew he would be lying.

"Why are you staring?" Arabella asked as she pulled out lipgloss from her bag.

Rosario looked down into the sink and frowned, "You don't like Maddox Reign right?"

Arabella shook her head and smugly smiled a bit at her question, "He's not even my friend," she replied before applying the gloss, "You've got nothing to worry about."

Rosario somewhat glared at Arabella who was still too busy staring at herself in the mirror, "How do you deal with all the gossip about you?"

Arabella who flipped her hair off her shoulders turned around to stare at Rosario, "Simple, I just don't give a fuck."

Rosario nodded her head and Arabella smiled at her before she left the bathroom.

Now alone, Rosario looked at herself again in the mirror again and sighed.

"You're not eating what's wrong?" Maddox asked Rosario who like always wasn't eating anything off her lunch tray.

She shrugged, "Nothing, I'm just tired is all."
