Hidden Behind Her Smile

When a girl smiles it doesn't always mean that she's okay.

When she smiles it's a reminder that she's stronger than this.

*Thunder*

I looked up to be met with a dark sky. As soon as I said that the rain started.

This can't be happening. I used a lot of concealer to cover my bruises.

"Hey are you okay?" someone said

I turned away from him because I hate pity.

"Prosperity I go to your school. I could give you a ride." he continued

I mentally groaned but got in anyways.

When we arrived at school I was about to run but one thing held me back.

His grip on my wrist. I flinched at his tight hold.

"Im sorry, I-I didn't mean to hurt you"

"Its okay, thanks for the ride" I said

"Who did that to your wrist?"

When I looked down I realized that my sleeve was rolled up.

"Umm...I fell on a rock"

"I know that's not the truth but I'll find out" he eyed me suspiciously.

Before he could say anything else, I ran into the school quickly searching for the nearest bathroom.

No one can see me like this...
