The Long Road Less Taken

Chapter 1

I had always thought that everyone hated me. Then again I just always thought too much.

I saw them looking at me. The popular girls. Madison, Jackie, Alex, and Stacy. I hated them. But I wanted to be popular so bad. Because I was just so tired of not being accepted.

I was worrying about what they were saying about me. Probably insulting my band tee, my torn up black jeans, and my combat boots. That isn't what I was usually concerned about. Mainly my physical appearance. I always felt like my short, brown hair was messy or they could see my acne or that they could think I was too fat. I stopped myself from worrying like this. But sometimes I couldn't help it. Especially when they come up to me.

"Wow Vikki, you look like you just climbed out of a dumpster and a rat decided to make a home out of your hair." said Stacy.

I just got all tense. I was the quiet type, so I didn't say anything back.

"Oh no. Looks like little miss Vikki ate another box of doughnuts. Because she looks even bigger than yesterday." Madison said in a voice that made me want to slap her.

I wanted to say At least I'm not a bulimic bitch like you. But I'm too much of a coward.

Then after a fit of giggles they walk off and me just standing there like a awkward turtle.

I knew right then that this year was going to be exactly the same.

(Or so she thought)
