She found herself frozen, struggling to breath, surrounded by noise and discomfort. She feels her body clenching up and tears begin to roll from her dull dark brown eyes down her fiery hot cheeks. She makes her way over to the girls' toilets before any one spots her, however several girls come over to ask if she's okay. She opens her mouth to say 'yes I'm fine' yet as she does so nothing comes out besides from a heavy sigh, it was as if her body would not allow her to commit to such a lie and say that she was fine, in that case then how 'not fine' could she really be? She finally reached the toilets and her stomach tightened even more at the sight of the 'popular' girls reapplying their lip gloss for the 10th time that day. She has always been fairly cautious around these girls and so far had managed to keep a fairly low profile, until that exact moment when she enters the toilets. As soon as she swings the door open, all 4 girls shoot her a pathetic look as if to say 'ha, what a loser' then all exchange looks of repulse. Could it be because of her frizzy mousy brown hair, or maybe due to her ever so slightly wonky teeth, or it could possibly be that her mascara is running half way down her face due to the tears of self-hatred? Does that therefore mean that tears equal vulnerability; she had always been taught they were a sign of strength and bravery however she didn't feel very strong nor brave...
Her name is Georgia Hemmings. She is very opinionated, she severely struggles to bite her tongue, and is physically unable to hold back laughter and tears. She is known to be 'the sensitive one', the one that would still be holding a grudge from that one time you forgot to say thank you when she held the door for you almost two years ago, the one that would cry if someone said even just a joke which she may have taken the wrong way, and if you complimented her it would make her mood go from 0 to 100 in .5 seconds. There is no in-between, she either feels nothing or every emotion known to man kind x100!
