She sits on the edge of her chair waiting for the opportunity to jump. She doesn't feel comfortable with all of these people she hardly feels comfortable in her own skin, no not hardly, not at all. Her reflection is the nightmare she will never wake up from, her reflection is the one who screams ugly, fat, stupid the loudest. She pierces and Tattoos her skin in a pitiful attempt to mask herself but no matter how many needles she injects in her skin she knows she will never be able to control the pain that rains and swishes in her heart. But the real show here is the smile she holds so diligently on her face almost like it was painted on with one of her own paint brushes. You wouldn't recognize her on the street, you wouldn't recognize her in school or at a party because her laughs and jokes and fake concede would fog up the mirror and like most all, even her closest friends look past it instead of trying to clean the glass. But this she's use to, even her perspective on things has to be hidden because she knows kids are snakes and any sudden movement could be her last. She's always so confused because she's to afraid to tell her tales for the fear that they may be crazy and she would be crazy, they would all think she was crazy. So instead she kept quite and wondered quietly to herself as she sketched out the people around her. She so often wondered what they were thinking wishing she could read minds only for one day and then maybe she'd understand. But she knew better than most that you don't always get what you want and wanting was different from needing, so she focused more on needing because anything else always ended in disappointment.

*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone. She is tired of being pushed around and tired of watching in the shadows. She is tired of pretending to like that girl that doesn't even know her name. Tired of pretending that she is ok when she isn't. She is constantly hoping for a better way out thinking she should just disappear. All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right? Zoey is running out of time and she thinks no one has tried to help her until her "special" speech in class. No one really cares about what she really thinks anyway. It just that feeling of pity. Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth. Will she find a way to let her new friends save her or will she just end up as another suicide case? *Disclaimer wrote this in 2017 when I was 14.
