And that's how it all ended.

Wait. Wait.Wait. If you want to hear my story u have to start from the beginning. The names Scarlet Andrews and I'm a Sophmore at East High. I have long, thick hair going down to my waist. My black hair is tipped with Carmel highlights. I have perfectly sun kissed skin, probably from living in California for so long. I'm about 5'7 and I have a great body I guess. That's what Emily tells me anyway.

Emily Broders, my one and only friend has straight bleach blonde hair reaching to the middle of her back. Like me she's tan, but not as tan as me.

I also have a brother, Aaron, except he's in the 'it' group, the populars, or my favorite the plastics. He hangs out with the Levi twins Ashton and Austin. Yeah all their names start with A's. They are also the jocks of the school. They are our top football players so our principal adores them. You would think a principle would be wanting teachers pets and nerds but instead it's all about sports.

Anyways back to me. My brother isn't the only sporty one in my family. I have been doing gymnastics since I was 3. I also run track and cross country. I play soccer, softball and not to brag but I'm a pro at surfing.

Your probably wondering why I only have one friend. The thing is that I'm a nerd. Well more like acting like a nerd. I know I would be popular with the sports and my so called "totes perfect body" as Emily put it. I didn't want to be in the spot light and have all those backstabbing fake friends.

I always wear long sweatshirts to hide my curvy figure and super loose sweat pants. I tie my hair up in a messy bun then tease the front of it so my hair looks really frizzy. For my face I always put lotion on I'm the morning so it looks all greasy. For a finishing touch I wear the honking fake glasses.

All the sports I do are always private and kept a secret. Only my parents know about it, not Aaron. I do gymnastics in a secret little room inside my closet. How clique is that? I mostly teach myself with all the mats, balance beams, rings and everything you would normally find in a gym. I even have my own personal foam pit!

Did I mention my parents are loaded? We are super rich but I don't let it go to my head like Aaron. It's not that I don't like my brother it's just that he can be one of the cruelest people ever.

We have a gym in my basement to. Aaron thinks it's just for him to lift his weights in but they installed it for me. It's cut into two sections. The smaller section is the weight room which I sometimes use. The larger one has fake grass for me to practice soccer on. It also has a treadmill and elliptical for me to run on.

Mostly I use the house gym so I can keep my athletic ability a secret. But I like to go outside when Aaron isn't home. I work with personal trainers sometimes but I prefer to teach myself. In soccer I can do the bicycle kick perfectly which I see Aaron trying to work on for the upcoming soccer tryouts. The A group as I call them because all they're names and start with A and for other reasons.... Are trying soccer this year. It's funny seeing them fail miserable at something I perfected in fourth grade.

Sometimes at night I sneak into the beach to practice surfing. I taught myself and I don't even think my parents know. It's funny seeing the A group brag about their amazing surfing skills. If I wasn't trying to be an outcast than I would show them up. I can do a backflip on my surfboard while riding a wave.

For cheerleading I make up my own cheers. They usually consist of lots of backflips and whatever I see cheerleaders messing up on at school. A couple days ago the captain who is supposedly the best cheerleader in the school was trying to do a triple Ariel. She was trying to show off to the A group. Except on her first flip she didn't get enough speed and she did a head plant.

I blame karma, maybe if she wore something longer than 1 in shorts than she would have made it. All my sports are tied together somehow and I have a certain place in my basement gym for each of them.

Off the topic of sports I'm known as the nerd at school. I'm not the typical straight A nerd but I get descent grades. I think it's the whole baggy clothing thing. Everyone at school calls me fat and it's constant. The thing that bothers me the most though is that it's mostly the A group. My own brother bully's me. When he's home which is rare he's actually nice to me.

What's with the whole school rep that would make my own brother bully me? He was in for a big surprise but let's not rush my story.

By the way I forgot to mention that I don't talk a lot even to my parents. I only talk to Emily freely. People may get the impression that I have trouble talking to people. Well I don't I just have to take this acting thing seriously.

And now I shall let the story begin.
