I walk down the crowded hallway, arms cold, I forgot my sweatshirt in my last class. I see her. Loitering outside her classroom, giggling with a group of boys. All she does is look at me. "Who do you think you're fooling? her eyes ask. "No one actually likes you. He just dates you because it's easier than being alone and sounds better to have a girlfriend. She's just your friend because she feels obligated, because you were her friend when others left her. You are and always will be the weird, unwanted, unloved freak." And I believe her.

How a Single Look Can Ruin a Day [or] My Fears Reflected in the Eyes of a Teenage Girl
I walk down the crowded hallway, arms cold, I forgot my sweatshirt in my last class. I see her. Loitering outside her classroom, giggling with a group of boys. All she does is look at me. "Who do you think you're fooling? her eyes ask. "No one actually likes you. He just dates you because it's easier than being alone and sounds better to have a girlfriend. She's just your friend because she feels obligated, because you were her friend when others left her. You are and always will be the weird, unwanted, unloved freak." And I believe her.
