Martha

Martha's nice.
She always has good jokes. No matter how corny they are. She draws really good and her teeth are as shinny as the stars in the sky. She's beautiful.
I know Martha and Alex are my best friends because they are nice and they like me. Even if I feel not so confident about myself. But above all, I think Martha is a pretty good person and she's going to go really far in life.
But Martha has something going on. Like a secret or something.
"Hey, Martha!" I whisper to her.
"Yeah?" She whispers back.
"Wanna play truth or dare at the lunch table?" I ask.
"Sure." She says.
The bell rings and I get up. I see Martha trying to leave the room. So I try and stop her.
"Hey, where ya going?" I ask.
"I need to use the bathroom." She says.
"Ok," I say. "I'll be at the lunch table with Alex, ok?"
"Ok!" Martha calls back.
I wait for Martha at the lunch table with Alex. He's waiting for her too, and he's not that patient.
"Ugh, where IS she?" He asks.
"I don't know, actually!" I say.
"Weren't you guys in the same class together last period?" He asks.
"Yeah." I say.
"So where is she?" He asks again.
"She said she had to use the washroom." I say to Alex.
"Oh. Well, I can't go into the girls bathroom, so can you go check and see if she's in there?" He asks.
"No prob!" I say.
So I walk up to the girls bathroom and I hear something. It sounds like girls laughing in there. So I walk in.
I see people's feet in one whole stall. I notice that there are 5 girls in there. I also notice that one of the girls in there is wearing the exact same shoes as Martha. OMG! Is that Martha in there?
"Martha?" I call out. "Are you in there?" I call out again.
Then I start to hear the laughing again. It sounds like Martha's laugh. It also sounds like Regina's laugh! Wait a second! One of the girls shoes are UGG's. The exact same ones that Regina has.
WAIT A SECOND!
Are Regina and Martha in there together? I thought Martha didn't like Regina!
I realize that all the girls are laughing out loud. At something. At ME I was getting laughed at by the girls. Then I sit up on the bathroom sink. And I wait until the girls think I'm gone.
"Anyways," I hear a voice say. It sounds like Martha's. "You all know the kid from Japan named Tükœ right?" Says the voice again.
"Right." I hear 3 other girls say.
"Isn't she weird?" Says the first voice again.
Woah woah WOAH! Did Martha just call me...
Weird????????
My world just turned upside down.
"I know, right?" Says a voice. It sounds like Regina.
"Aren't you friends with her?" Asks a girl. I don't know who it is though.
"Yea, but she asked my to play t or d with her.."
"Today?" Asks the same girl.
"Yea!" Says the Martha voice.
"I bet she thinks your her friend, but really, your not." Says the voice that sounds like Regina.
"Yeah! That's exactly what happens!" Says the Martha voice again.
I suddenly realize that Martha is no longer my closest friend.
I walk outside the bathroom, and I see Alex waiting for me.
"What happened?" Asked Alex.
"Martha's not coming." I say.
"How do you know?" Says Alex.
"I know because she said so." I say. I storm away trying to fight back tears.
This was Martha's secret. She's not my true friend.
