Anika

Anika was a tall girl, beautiful, with the perfect body, the perfect blonde hair, and she had the greatest sense of humor. She had all A's, all the time. And she was the first girl ever to be on the football team at our high school. She was what all the guys wanted, she was perfect.
One day she bumped into me in the hallway and her beautiful bluish, green eyes met mine. She asked me if I was alright and apologized. In that moment, I think I had a little "girl crush", or something like that. It was silly, really.
That same day during lunch, I was getting my tray, it was nacho day! My favorite. But anyways, I was looking for a table to sit down at, and I look over to see her calling me towards her. I was so confused, why would a girl like her want me to sit with her? She moved her leg from the seat. I thought with excitement, "The Anika Mears just saved, me, Jocelyn Marcos a seat!" But I think I played it off well, I just sat and smiled. All of her football boy buddies came and sat with us. I was shaking in my seat, not knowing what to say. They were flirting with her, like crazy. I wished I was her! Why can't I be her?
