She just nodded her head and looked back up at the teacher
speaking. I didn’t, I noticed how gorgeous she looked, her hair was perfectly
straightened, and the make-up on her face made her eyes look amazing.

“Allison… give me five examples of adjectives” said
Mr. Bedoin, who was the teacher teaching us. He was obviously annoyed with me
staring at Julia.

“ummmm” was all I could say still distracted by
Julia.

“Well maybe next time you should be paying attention to
me, instead of staring at Julia all day” He said angrily.

I blushed as everyone looked at me, then Julia then back to
me.

“Henry, can you answer my question?” Asked Mr. Bedoin.

“gifted, helpful, important, inexpensive, and obnoxious” He
answered cockily, giving me a glance before looking back down at his worksheet.

“Thank you Henry, nice job” Mr. Bedion complimented him.
Also giving me a look of disgrace.

“Geez did everyone hate me at this school?” I muttered. But
quickly went back to my work, not daring to talk or look at Julia for the rest
of the period.

After the bell had rang I walked to my locker and lucky me,
my locker is right next to Drew. Ugh kill me now. I looked down at the piece of
paper I had scribbled my locker combo on. Drew watched me fiddle with the lock.
After about five minutes of complete failure of me trying to open my stupid
locker, I asked Drew to help. He got it open with one try.

“Maybe you should workout more” he smirked.

“Maybe you should stop being such an *****” I said
quietly.

“Whoa that time of the month already?” He laughed.
“Chocolate helps… oh you don’t need any more of that” He said looking at my
stomach.

I looked down at my stomach, it was flat, but I turned
around to walk away, a tear falling down my right cheek. I had gotten comments
before but people had said I was fine so I didn’t worry about it. After that
comment I will now.

I walked up to Julia
next to the big tree out front. I noticed how the huge tree was covered with
carvings. Most of them were relationship carvings with two names with a heart
around it. I caught myself looking at one certain heart. Inside it read
Julia+Ralph. Ralph had been Julia’s last boyfriend, who had left her
heartbroken.
