"Hey." Amy walked towards me, smiling. She put her arm around me as we walked to our group which consist of Amy, the popular; Alice, the bookworm; Andrea, the sporty; Brandon, the jock; and Me, the one with all the secrets.

"Hey." I replied. I felt my whole body shaking from nervousness and I was pretty sure that I had bags under my eyes. Ethan had to go to the hospital and I've been there all night with him, again. I was scared and had no sleep.

"What's wrong?" She asked, stopping me by holding my shoulder back. I readjusted my back pack on my shoulder and sighed, no one knew about Ethan.

"I was up all night with my mom, she got sick." I lied. She gave me a sad smile and rested her hand on my shoulder, comforting me. She let go of my arm and we started walking again. Her naturally straight blonde hair was waving as she walked.

We made it to our group and everyone was laughing at something. "What's so funny?" I asked standing besides Brandon. Brandon was Amy's twin, and he was as pretty as his twin too. Literally.

"Brandon was talking about his little incident last night." Andrea laughed.

"It wasn't an incident." He scoffed defensively.

"Brandon, you laughed so hard that you choked on milk and it came out of your nose." Amy laughed. I chuckled a bit too. Never make Brandon laugh while drinking milk, I guess.

Brandon walked over to me an grabbed my hands pulling me away from the group. "Hey Brandon, What's up?" I asked retracting my hand from his grasp. He looked down at his shoes, his cheeks were a tinted pink.

"I don't know, I was wondering if yo-" He was cut off by none other than Christian Moore, my crush since sixth grade and my number one bully, if I can even categorize all the bullies. Christian's friends, the football team, Stacie and her entourage, there's just too many.

"Brandon! Stop talking to the loser and get over here! We gotta game tonight ya know!" He yelled from a table where all the football players were, except Brandon.

"Okay!" He shouted at them and looked at me again. "Sorry, I'll talk to you later." He smiled. I smiled back and he jogged over to their table. Sighing and wondering what he was gonna ask, I walked back over to the group.

"Alex!!" Amy screamed in a high pitch voice.

"What?" I whined, putting my head up looking at the sky.

"Put your head down and walk with me!" Amy demanded.

I saluted her, "Yes sir!", earning laughs from everyone else. She skipped to me and hooked arms with me as we walked towards the school.

"So you know Christian Moore?" She smiled.

"Oh, my number one bully? The guy who's been bullying me since sixth grade? No never heard of him." The sarcasm was dripping from my mouth as we went through the double doors.

"Well I know why he bullies you!" She sang. I stopped walking and jerked her arm back causing her to stumble a little.

"Ow!" She whined. I chuckled and slapped her arm playfully.

"Why does he bully me?" I asked. I really wanted to know, maybe I could stop doing whatever I was doing and have some peace.

"Oh, I'm not telling you," she smirked. Sometimes I wanted to kill Amy, this was one of those times. Actually this was one of those many times.
