I look into the mirror, all I can see is disgust and hate. I look at my flat dull brown hair, my boring brown eyes, and my bushy thick eyebrows. I untucked my brown hair to cover up my huge ears.
I don't even want to look at my body. My body is like an arrow, straight and curveless. Boobs? Please, Im a size 30 A, and 15. My "gifted" sister is the complete opposite, blonde hair, Beautiful blue eyes, tan, sporty, super smart, and HUGE boobs. Boys drool over her.
Why does she have to be so perfect? The anger boils in me, i have to get it out. I look over at the bath tub. I grab my razor and scrape it across my stomach until it leave a thick deep cut. Blood oozes out.
Someone knock on the door, my sister, Lacie. "Angelina come on! The bus comes in 20 minutes!"
I startle and put a band-aid on the cut. I put on my sparkly jean shorts, a black pull over sweatshirt, a pair of red strapped sandals, and a big red bow in my hair.
I walk outside and onto the bus with Lacie, everyone says Hi to Lacie, when we get on, but no one even acknowledges me. I sit in a seat alone, I stair out the window to see grey rainy Iowa.
My best friend Mackenzie comes on the bus, she has dark red hair and sparkly green eyes. Boys love her, but she's dating her boyfriend Marcus, there an on again, off again couple. All he wants to do is sleep with her and then it's over.
"Hey baby." she says
"Hey sweet cakes." I say
She goes on and on about her and Marcuse's date last night. I put in my headphones and listen to some Ke$ha.
Finally after an hour of listening to Mackenzie talk about how amazing Marcus is, we were at school. Today was a good day, It was Monday, so I had art today. I love to draw, paint, sculpt, and any other form of art. I put my backpack in my locker, and walk to art. Crash. my books went flying, my head slammed into someone. I look up and my eyes meet with him, I don't look any further his eyes were blue and beautiful. We were noes to noes,
"Sorry." he says
"It's okay" I say, trying to contain my giggles.
We both smile, I stand up. Gross, it's Liam Thomsane hothead popular football player. I can't believe for a minute I fell for him. I get up grab my stuff and walk to art.
"Hey wait up!" Liam yells
"What?" I snap
"Let me walk you to Art, we do have the same first period together." he says softly, looking at the ground.
"Okay." I say
We walk to art together, we don't talk, but everyone stares. No believes that Liam Thomsane would ever even notice Nobody a.k.a. Angelina Spring. We made it to art and I sat down at an empty table, of course he followed me and sat next to me. "Why do you keep following me?" I ask him
"Because you seem really cool." he says
I roll my eyes and get started on my art project.

"Mom!" I call out into the empty home.
My mom was the perfect mom that you see on TV. Bakes all day, has a perfect clean house, and Is always caring and sweet. I find a note on the dinner table,
Went out for groceries, brownies cooling, should be done by now.
Yum, I stuff two in my mouth and go into my room. I check my Facebook, Who should I chat with? Oh wait i only have 6 Friends, my grandma, my cousin Jared, mom, Lacie, Mackenzie.
A little red 1 was next to my friends notifacation button. I click on it, it was Liam. Why did he add me as a friend? He must actually like me, he didn't just feel sorry for running into me.
I logged off, did my homework, took a shower, and went to bed.
* <3 * <3 *
I woke up the next morning not feeling depressed and sad when i woke and realized i had to go to school. I almost felt excited, I put a lot of effort into getting ready. I straightened my hair, pinned my bangs back, and put on more makeup than usual. I put on a white v- neck and matched it a bright floral skirt, i put on some purple metallic heels.
I staired out the window. come on bus where are you? after waiting for half an hour, the bus finally came.
Social Studys. Science. Computer. Gym. Reading. Launguage Arts. Study Hall. It all went by a blur, until I went to Math, Liam was in the same class as me. I couldn't even pay attention to the extra credit problem, I was happy and In love.
