Now I know I seem like a bitch, and your probably thinking I'm your stereotypical mean girl, but I wasn't always like this, back when high school first started. I had a best friend who I thought I would be friends with forever. I was shy and timid, and I was foolish enough to believe what people told me. Back then everyone knew me as Arora. After the incident I decided to stop going by my first name, I had also learned that being mean, and not taking anything form anyone was the only way to get people to treat you with respect.

Arora Fisher: the girl most people didn't notice until they needed help with homework, the girl who was voted most likely to disappear and no one would notice. The girl who her believed in the good in others, who wanted to just give people a chance, no matter how many red flags. The girl who was lost to tragedy.

"We'll be broken together." He try's to smile, but he can't manage it and I nod, knowing how much pain he feels.
"We'll be broken together." I whisper, after that we sit there, in an empty silence, neither of us wanting to be the first one to speak again, because it feels off, like the sound of our own voices might somehow break our hearts more.
" I hate this girl from the bottom of my heart. She broke my heart in a few seconds without any hesitation. She insulted me infront of every one. She took my place, my reputation, my everything.
Then why? Why do I find myself getting dragged to her everytime I see her? Why do I fell a strange tickle in my stomach everytime I talk to her? Why does my heart go crazy everytime she holds me? After 10 painful years why is it happening with me now?
Is it just admiration or ...........
AM I IN LOVE WITH HER ONCE AGAIN???
