The New Girl That Didn't Fit In

Secrets unveiled.

I sat on Sasha's comfy bean bag feeling anything but comfortable. I just wanted the truth to come out. And once it did, I would know exactly what to do.

"So, um, I promised you that I'd tell you everything but I'm not sure if-"

"Just...say it," I said, cutting her off. She folded her arms and sighed. Then, she looked out of the window.

"Jade...whatever happens after you hear this, just know that for these last few days, It felt like I'd known you my whole life and I really enjoyed the friendship between us. I just-I just hope you feel- felt, I mean. I hope you FELT the same way." She squinted at me, but I didn't even look at her. She nodded, wiped her right cheek and continued.

"I never dated a guy. No one ever liked me. So when Zoey's supposed ex came up to me and asked me out, I was over the moon. In fact, I couldn't breath. He was so caring...and passionate and...and how could I have been so stupid?!," She swiped at her left cheek.

"Well, turns out he was using me to make Zoey jealous. Scott was just using me to make Zoey jealous. And I had no idea. I was so stupid!!! A voice in my head kept telling me that I was gonna get hurt in the end and my ex best friend Regina, kept telling me to forget about a play boy and dreamboat called Scott. But I never listened. I never listened!! One night, Scott and I were at the movie theater down Park Avenue and I saw him staring at two girls. When I looked closely, I found out that it was Zoey and Daphne. And Zoey- she had this really annoying smirk on her face and I still didn't twig a single thing. When I noticed that Scott wasn't paying attention to me, he just kept looking at Zoey, I still forced myself to NOT believe anything. I was a self-centred little...whatever. I wanted a boyfriend, So I would stay with him at all costs. Even if he broke my arms. Then, when I asked Scott to buy me popcorn, he didnt hear me. So I said it again, louder this time and...and he just said; "Shut up bitch!" And I was foolish enough to do just that! I shut the fuck up!!! But then Zoey's eyes met his and he immediately swung me around, pressing his lips onto mine. I couldn't stand it. I felt hurt. I felt so stupid. So used. I was disgusted. I was so disgusted that I slapped him across the face. I slapped him so hard, he fell. Like,on his butt. Zoey stood in shock, then she burst out laughing. I was so embarrassed. I felt tears prickling my eyes and a lump in my throat so I coughed. I coughed and coughed and coughed and Zoey came up to me, put her arm around my shoulder and said; "Poor whore. Sad your bitch isn't there to kiss anymore? You little skank. You thought you could have my boyfriend. He's MINE. And you...you're just some desperate slut that wanted a hot guy to notice your ugly as shit self." She walked over to Scott, who, his eyes fixed on mine, slowly and dramatically kissed her. In front of me. In front if everyone. I calmly picked up my purse and left the theater. It was not until I got home I cried. "

Tears glistened in her eyes. I made round, circular motions with my palm on her back as she tore up. But that wasn't all. She wiped her nose and continued

"I cried so much my throat burned. It literally was burning. I needed a best friend. I needed Regina. But no way hosea as Regina was with Zoey telling her how much she was right and how I'd always been a little slut."

"How'd you know that?" I asked, shocked.

" Oh...the next day at school. There were stupid words all over my locker. The whole school hated me. They called me a whore. And Regina...Gina...she told everyone that Scott and Zoey were still in a relationship and I'd forced myself on Scott. Once the most popular girl in school hates you, the whole school does too coz, well, they don't want to be on her bad side. But that just gives them so much power. I wished I was dead countless times, but I pulled through. I simply ignored everything until things died down a little and I could settle (on a scale of one to ten), a four. "

I tried to speak, but I couldn't. I blinked, then I stared at Sasha. Was she lying? I think she saw the doubt in my eyes because hers went wide as she tried to defend herself.

"I swear...I am not lying! You-you don't believe me." She bowed her head.

"I can't blame you for not believing me, Jade. You're new here. I just wish you would believe me. Try to, please."
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts.

"How do I know you're not lying to me?" I asked her. She furrowed her brows.

"I...I don't know. Can't...just search yourself. Think. Contemplate." I rubbed my temples. Sasha stood up.

"I think you'll be able to figure this out at home, Jade. Besides, it's getting late. You...you should go." I stood up.

"Yeah, I should."

We walked downstairs and I opened the door. I lingered at the door a little, then I turned around.

"See you tomorrow?" I asked. Her eyes brightened.

"Yeah. Tomorrow."

"OK. Bye."

"See you."

I shut the door behind me and kicked little rocks as I walked home, thinking.
