Chapter One: The Outcast
I can feel the wind hitting my face. With every toss and turn, I can feel the sudden sift of my stomach.
While looking to the sky, I could see a Blue Jay and a Robin flying next to each other. The Robin, with its red feathers, made a small resembles of someone in my head. her beauty, her bravery, her confidence, everything!
BONK!
Soon, I felt a hard piece of metal slam my face, I looked up to see the stop sign right above my head.
"HAH nice one, lice-saw!" I heard from the most annoying mouth ever.
I turned to see Ram Sweeney with his best friend Kurt Kelly, both laughing and high fiveing each other, I swear to God's ass those two are gay.
"Hope that one didn't hurt too much lice-saw!" Kurt said with a cackle.
I hate that name so much... it's been 7 years since I had lice! It's fine - just one more year, then I can move out of this city and hopefully never see them again! I swear to God, if I could shoot those two, I would!
Suddenly, I'm splashed with water, which rips me out of my thoughts. I look to see Ram and Kurt flipping me off, and in return, I flip them off back.
I get up and head to the entrance of the school, avoiding as many of the idiots as possible soon to be meant with very familiar brown eyes.
Martha Dunnstock, my best friend since kindergarten!
"Hey, Veronica! What happened to your shirt?" The brunette said, looking at my shirt curiously.
I sigh, lowering my head. "Ram and Kurt"
She looked at me with a face that said, "Say no more," and quickly rummaged through her bag and pulled out a pink shirt that was nowhere near my size
"If you want, you can wear this, I keep extra shirts just in case." She said with a smile.
I smiled softly at her and slowly pushed the shirt closer to her "thanks Martha but I have an extra one in my backpack," I said, reassuring her. "I don't want you to hand me something when it's not an emergency. But thank you for caring. I'm very lucky to have you as my best friend!" I said with a bright smile.
though it's true that I have another shirt, I didn't want to tell her about the size thing cause I know she's very insecure about it... personally, I think she looks very beautiful but in our society in this time not many people will see that sadly. I hope one day she can live a life where she is comfortable in her own skin, only time will tell...
"Oh, okay! I'll just keep it just in case, then!" She said with a cheerful tone and placed the shirt back in her bag.
I love the fact that she's cheerful through even in the worst times. That's why I try not to let all my stress out to her. If anything, I try not to let my stress out to her at all! But she knows me too well and so hiding anything from her is impossible.
Suddenly, my ears are blasted with the sound of a bell ringing.
"Martha, you get to class, okay? I'll be there soon!" I said, helping her get everything in her bag.
"You sure, Veronic? I don't want you to be late -" Martha said while picking up her bag
I nodded. "I'll be fine beside I can make up a hall pass, but you can't, so just go, okay? I be there soon"
She nodded, running off to class, waving her hand, as she ran down the hall. I waved back and headed to the bathroom. I rummaged through my backpack and pulled out a blue hoodie. Right after putting it on, I heard the clicking of shoes coming to the bathroom, and I threw open the nearest stall door and slammed it shut, locking it.
Soon, I saw yellow, green, and red high heels. My eyes widened as I recognized the colors - pacificaly the red ones.
I yanked my hand to my mouth, fighting the urge to squeal as I noticed my hands becoming shakey.
I could hear voices coming from the sink and listened quietly. It's not like I'll be able to do anything anyway, so this was a good time killer.
The girl in green sighed, looking tired out of her mind. "I still can't believe I just ate a whole entire burger just like that -" She rested her head on the sink counter, groaning.
The one in yellow rubbed her back softly, checking her temperature. "I told you not to eat so fast"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, it's just I was so hungry, and I thought I could hold it down!" I, one in green, said, resting her head on the others' arm with the yellow sleeve that was folded up a bit.
The one in yellow hugged her softly and rested her head on her back. Suddenly, the other got up and ran to the nearest stallwhere she was close to it and started throwing everything out of her stomach.
Just as the girl in yellow was about to go over, the one in red stopped her.
"Seriously McNam, you can't keep babying her. I get it. You two got something going on, but she's starting to let her guard down, and you know in this school, NO ONE can let their gaured down. Including us..." the red one said with her eyes narrowing at McNam, her full name is Heather McNaramas, by the way.
They are all named Heather, so you have to put last names.
McNam stomped her foot out of frustration. "I know, Chandler! But look at Duke she's practically on her knees!"
I could hear Heather Duke just throwing everything out and trust me... it was gross
Heather Chandler sighed with a mix of a groan "fine but just this once. Even I'm not that cruel..." She pointed to the stall Duke was in, and McNam quickly ran into comfort duck.
Chandler leaned near over the sink counter and grabbed out some strawberry lip gloss, and applied it to her lips. Bad news for me is that her whole rear side was just... THERE! I could see the whole view and kinda forgot about everything! I think she saw a glimpse of be because soon after, I could see her turn.
"What the -" She said, looking at the stall I was in, but before she could investigate, a teacher walked into the bathroom.
"Oh well, isn't it the famous three Heathers- skipping class as usual, I see." The teacher snared, scrunching her face together.
Heather Chandler quickly moved away from my stall and looked at the teacher. "Duke wasn't feeling well- were helping her!" Chandler said with a smile.
"I know you three very well you don't help anyone but your selfs!" The teacher said, waving her hand in Chandlers face, and by the look, Chandler had something told me Chandler really wanted to slap this teacher in the face. "I'll have no choice but to give you -"
Knowing what was about to happen, I quickly added all three heathers onto the fake hall pass I made and opened the door, and handed the teacher the hall pass before she could finish her sentence.
"Actually, we're all out with a hall pass," I said with a wide smile. I could feel Chandlers intense glare, but then it went - lower? I shook it off and looked at the teacher.
The teacher sighed, holding the pass "this seems real enough. you're off the hook Chandler, McNamaras, Duke, and Sawyer."
She handed me the pass and walked off, I looked to see Chandler looking at me with wide eyes but quickly narrowing her eyes and ripping the hall pass out of my hand.
She glared at it with a mixture of a surprised and impressed look on her face. "H-how? This looks exactly like a hall pass! Who are you?!" staring at me with a glare.
I could feel my throat closing and tried to warm my hands with my sleeves. "V-Veronica- Sawyer.. I uh- I wanted to ask a favor"
Chandler raised an eyebrow. "What favor?"
I started to fiddle with my sleeve while her blue eyes were still looking at me. "Could I sit at your table? Only once there's no need to talk, I just think maybe if I sit there, then people could finally leave me alone..." I look down scared of the awnser.
But Chandler just giggled and placed her elbow on the counter so she could place her head on her hand.
"You know - for a little nobody like yourself... you have good bone structure. " She got up and softly held my chin, looking at my jaw line.
I could feel my face get warmer the closer she got.
McNamara then popped from the stall and looked at me closely, "And a very symmetrical face - if I were to cut your face both sides, be exactly the same -"
Duke held onto McNaramas shoulders and brought her closer to her side. "But you could lose a few pounds if I'm honest."
Chandler then looked at my shirt. "You know- I have a extra blazer just in case we were to recruit someone new.. and it matches that color," She said. Then she went to her bag and pulled a matching blazer, but it was blue. "Here," She grinned and brought the blazer closer to me.
I just stared at it in complete shock and didn't know what to do.. but then I got a glare Chandler, and she said with a stern tone
"I wasn't asking -" She tossed it to me, and I quickly caught it. Then she pushed me into the stall I was in before and shut the door for me and I locked it.
I can't believe this is happening!-
