  Winnie's POV

        "NOOO!! Jessie, please leave me be!! I don't want to talk to those boys!" I yelled as Jessie was pulling my by my hoodie.

        "No! You need to learn how to hold a conversation with a boy." Jessie said firmly.

        "But why? How is that going to help me in life?!" I said defiantly.

        "Winnie....ugh..When was the last time you on a date?" She asked getting annoyed.

        I stayed quiet knowing that she knew perfectly well that I never had a boyfriend, let alone went on a date.

         "Oh yeah, I forgot, your almost as pure as a saint" she said, "You need to get out of your shell a bit and try to start interacting a bit. Here let's try this first who's your crush?"

        I start to open my mouth to speak but Jessie cuts me off.

        "Someone who is actually real" she said.

         I open mouth to speak again.

         "Someone who is real and actually knows you exist" she said cutting me off.

         I just sighed in defeat and let her keep dragging me to a the group of people who she usually hung out with.

         

          "What's up, hoes and bitches?" Jessie said walking up to her friends, I knew some of them but they weren't really my friends.

          "Jessie there's no need to call them names" I said quietly. Thankfully Jessie hadn't heard me, she was talking to a girl from middle school named Brenda. I tried to walk away but Jessie hadn't let me go.

           "Hey Brenda," Jessie said " I need to help Winnie come out of her shell a bit, have any ideas?"

           "Hmmm. Well she isn't too ugly" Brenda said looking me up and down, "She needs to wear some makeup ....Take off your hoodie." She pointed at me demandingly.

            ".......uhhh" I didn't feel to certain, so I looked at Jessie and she just nodded. So I took of my hoodie. Just then Carlos came up next to Brenda and Jessie.

          "What are you guys doing?" He asked

           Jessie looked at him explaining everything. After she was done explaining everything Carlos looked at me and said "Well, to be honest she doesn't look bad. She fits into the cute category but if I didn't know you I would have thought that you were a sixth grader"

            I could feel my face heating up and since my skin was pale I was probably red too.

           "Yeah I can see what you mean" Jessie said "She's kind of flat chested, she has a baby face and on top of that she's short"

             "Hey!!" I said

              "Eh, she's not wrong" Brenda said, "Speaking of short, have you seen Brian anywhere" Brenda said turning her attention to Carlos and Jessie.

        While they spent their time talking about glob knows what I walked away to my first block.

    

         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        

        I couldn't think straight or pay attention in class at all but none of it had to do with what Jessie had said, well maybe a little. I kept thinking about Ben and if he was OK and what if my mom saw him?! Dear glob! I'd be in so much trouble! Wait, you're just over reacting.  I couldn't wait till the bell rang so I could go home and see if Ben was OK, also to see if he had left my family unharmed.
