I'm Just Me

Chapter 4

I jump out my bed trying to listen to see if my mom is home.

Nope

So she pretty much just abandoned me.

I go in the bathroom and straighten my hair. I go into my moms cabinet where she keeps all her makeup and I cake it on my face.

Maybe I should try and look pretty today

I finish off my makeup with a pink lip balm that makes my lips a tint pink.

I actually don't look that bad!

I run into the kitchen stepping over glass and eat an apple.

I suddenly hear my bus and for the first time I feel...confident.

When I get on the bus everyone looks up at me in shock. Everyone knows that I don't care much about my appearance so it completely shocks them.

"You can sit here," says this really cute guy that has never talked to me. He was next to all the popular kids. They all sit at the back off the bus.

"Yea you should sit here," cheyanne, one of the popular girls say.

"Ok thanks," I smile.

"So what's your name again?" Cheyanne asks.

"Avery," I answer.

"Well Avery you look so different," The cute boy says. his name was Scott.

"Well um...I had a little extra time..and stuff."

Whoa this is so weird having all the..attention on me.
I like it.

"You need to hang with us more often," Cheyanne smiles.

"Um, yea," I say still in total shock.

When we get to school I stand up quickly but Cheyanne stops me.

"We all walk together," she smiles.

"Ok."

We were the last off the bus and when we walked out it seemed like I was famous. It was so weird to have everyone staring at you while you're just simply walking.

"This is so weird," I say.

"You'll get used to it and I want you to meet the rest of my good friends,' Cheyanne walks me inside with Scott and some other popular people.

When I get inside I see a whole bunch of the popular guys and girls.

Whoa..

I was speechless. I became a little nervous and shaky and everyone looked at me weirdly.

"Avery used to be ugly as hell," Bianca -one of the popular girls said.

"Wtf is with you, you are way uglier than me"
"

Everyone stared at me with their mouths wide open.

"Did you just say that?" her face starts to turn red,"Did she just say that!?"

I think I might've said that outloud...

"Um, yes I did but I didn't mean to say it out loud...sorry," I apologize.

"So you were trying to say it in your head?" she shoves me little. "Well I am Like the prettiest girl in school...be jealous."

"I'm not jealous," I scrunch up my face."Why is there a contest on looks, you wear lots of makeup."

"So do you obviously," she shoves me again.

"You better stop shoving me!" I yell angrily.

"I don't have to listen to you... you're not popular and you never will be!" she shoves me again knocking me to the ground.

Cheyenne covers her mouth with her hand.

I just sat there with my eyes wide and face red.

I can't just start a fight...that's too much attention.

Everyone looks at me expecting me to do something. I put my head down to show everyone that they shouldn't be expecting anything.

"Ha! That's what I thought you little- " I interrupt her.

"You will wish that you didn't do that!" I pause and laugh,"You're just a little slutty bit*h."

"ohhhhhh," the crowd watches intensely.

Bianca's face turns bright red. "Whatever loser!" She turned and walked away.

Everyone then turned their eyes on me. I smile because I've been keeping that in for long time.

The Crowd begins to leave and I was still sitting on the floor from being shoved by Bianca.

As I was looking in the air and smiling I heard a voice saying my name.

"Hey, Avery..Avery" it was JAI.

"Um, uh, hey," I start to get nervous.

He brings out his hand to get me up.

"Thanks," I smile and blush.

"I never seen you talk Like that," Jai says and we begin to walk together.

"Oh, that was nothing...I just always wanted to say that," I laugh shyly.

Jai looks at me and smiles.

OMG

Jai, we used to be...," I paused a little scared to say what I wanted to. "Um, we used to be best friends."

"Really?" He said acting Like he was surprised.

I stopped walking which made him stop. "You know we were best friends...can't you just..Admit IT?" I BEGIN TO RAISE MY VOICE BUT NOT TOO MUCH.

"We should be friends again," we begin to walk again.

"Well, that'd be cool," I continue,"So you remember when we were best friends?"

"Yea," he smiles and walks a different direction.

I've NEVER been this happy!! Now I hope it lasts because the bell rang. But I have a feeling today will be a interesting day...
