When i stepped out of my nice warm bed i was feeling ok but knew my mood would soon change as the day went on. I slipped on each article of clothing carefully, applied some mascara to my eyelashes and slipped my converse on. Another day being me. Boring, ugly,ole me. the me no one knew, but instead knew the funny,nice girl who always smiled no matter the situation at school. Before i left i made sure the smile was plastered on my face perfectly before heading to school, the place i was supposed to be someone completely different.someone who only existed to them. That wasn't me and it could never be me.
Stepping through the doors the dim lights surrounded me as hormonal teenagers made out in the hallway, or other kids rushing to their classes in fear of being late,or the ones who didn't care and just did whatever, thank god this is the last day of school. I stood there a second until i notice a few people coming into my view. "Hey robin!" Kassie shouted at me smiling as i printed the smile out across my face. "Hey kassi,hey Rachel, hey sofie!" I said as we all headed to the gym for athletics. As we strolled lazily and quite slowly to our locker rooms, we chatted about what we did this weekend, or boys, or even about what other people had done. Kassie,Rachel, and sofie were my best friends, i had other friends, but we were the closest. I loved them, they were my family. "Robin what do you think?" Kassie asked me. "Think about what?" I replied wishing i had been paying attention to their conversation. "About me and Shaun, do you think i should ask him out?" She asked fiddling with her trimmed blonde hair. "If you think he could actually be committed and love you then sure go for it never know if you never do!" I said swishing the locker room door open. "K well see you in a few." She said as her and Rachel skipped to the other locker room to get changed.
"Sofie do you have a hair tie?" I asked holding my pony tail in place waiting patiently as she slid it form her wrist and into my hand. I studied her wrist but quickly turned away. I slid my hair into the hair tie and grabbed my tennis shoes. after sliding them on i ran to my spot on the gymnasium floor for role call. Coach roode made sure we were all here and then proceeded with announcements about volleyball and basketball. Off season was called and i stood up with kassie, Rachel, and Sofie. We ran outside and awaited instructions of couch harvy. "Ok girls today were going down to the field, hustle!" She yelled while we ran in a heard to the field where the boys were playing football. Most of the girls twirled their hair and invested their time in watching the boys. Normally i would've joined them, but i didn't care about jerry today, i didn't care amount him anymore, or at least i tried to convince myself i didn't.
"Robin come on!" Kassie yelled as we both laughed realizing that we were the last people to start running. "What are we doing?" I asked following her actions. "Sprinting the long, walk the short didn't you hear her?" She asked chuckling as we came to a stop. "Wasn't paying attention!" I laughed "so kassie we just do this the whole period?" I asked surprisingly. "I guess, that's all coach harvy said to do so I'm not gonna argue!" She teased. after running around the football field numerous times, first period was finally over,usually my happy juices have kicked in my now, but today i felt so miserable, much more than i usually do. its like even the fake smile wouldn't work. "robin are you ok?" sofie asked clearly knowing i wasnt. i lied, " yeah im just a bit tired today thats all." she looked at me in disbelief. " no your not, i know you, your my bestfriend so whats up?" she asked pulling me to the side of the locker room. "i honestly dont know sof, i just dont feel like myself today, i think its just because im really hungry, ill feel better in a period or two." i replied as we waited for kassie.hoping that answer would've satisfied her."i cant wait for second period!" kassie stated as she smiled and checked her hair. "i think you guys would be adorable together !" sofie replied as we walked to our classes. "well have fun in com apps, im off to orchestra!" i said giving them a quick hug before walking two classes down. i opened the door and was greeted by my cello buddies. "hey guys!" i said as i entered and grabbed my cello. "hey robin do you have any rosin?" kevin questioned as i sat down. "um yeah here." i said tossing it to him. after everyone was in the classroom we practiced the music and each minute seemed like and eternity.
by lunch i was starved and had eaten my whole tray, fifth period was the only perod i had jerry in. once again we didnt say anything to each other but hi. before , when he first told me he liked me, the sparks where everywhere, the flame was bright and heated, burning bright, but now it has died down and there is hardly a spark anymore. the rest of the day went by fast, boring too. math, then science, then texas history were my last periods, nothing interesting happened.
the bus ride home was the same. i hardly talked to anyone at all today and couldn't focus on anything except getting away form these people for a while two monthsgetting home, i flopped down on the couch and slithered out of my jeans and grabbed the remote to turn on netflix seeing as no one was home it was ok to be naked, well semi naked. i turned on revenge and quickly fell asleep to the drama.
i woke up still on the couch,the tv had turned off due to the timer of the auto view. i slid my legs out from under me and stood up but quickly sat back down. my legs were asleep and i had to shake them a bit to get the tingling feeling out of them. after a few minutes of shaking and rubbing i stood up and grabbed my phone and noticed a few messages on kik. I opened it up and noticed that of course, they were all from them. The girls that despised me more then anyone in the whole world, they never forgot to tell me either. Scared to read what their words would read this time i cautiously opened the message.
But this time it wasn't one message saying i should kill myself or that the world would be better off without me, it was a group chat, everyone seemed to be talking about how much they hated me. I was surprised by how many group chats had been created, all having the same subject; hating me.
