The Real Me

A Hot Mess

I was walking on the hallways to go to my class and people were staring at me.....maybe but I couldn't see clearly cause I forgot my glasses. And I was getting late so I didn't tie my hair up either.

I saw someone running towards me out of nowhere and dragged me out of the hallways. "What are you doing!?" I asked.

It was Dee. She stopped in the middle of the staircase and looked me in the eyes.

"Why are you so serious for? Is something wrong?"

"Are you okay with all the rumours going around? Some are saying that those screenshots were fake and that you turned into a hot mess overnight."

"I just want to live in peace. I really couldn't care less about what they think."

"I never thought you'd actually ever say that, but I'm really proud of you. I guess I was worried for nothing huh." Dee said.

I've always been this nice kid in class who tried her best to fit in. I never spoke my mind and tried to get along with people even after finding out that they were talking advantage of me. I was afraid of being left alone. But I actually thought about this yesterday, that why do I have to be forcefully nice and fake to others if my so called reputation can get a stain without any proof? Ben said all of that bullshit and people actually believed him without any proof. So I just decided to be myself and say what I want.

"You look good with that crop top and high waisted pants?" She winked at me. My school's dress code is pretty strict but still the cheer leading team can have the shortest skirts. I always wear oversized stuff but my mom put them in the laundry so I covered my waist with a denim shirt just in case I get dress coded.

"Oh so I didn't look good before?" I glared at her suspiciously.

"Of course you did. I was just trying to imitate your fanboys. I guess it wasn't a good idea." She chuckled.

"Exactly!"

A few minutes later

And just like that, I entered my class. I sat on my seat when all the guys except those two jerks (those two jerks = Ben and Chase) gathered around my desk. One guy whistled, "Someone looks like they just came out of the oven." Another guy said, "Nah man, she just came out of heaven."

I replied, "No you thirsty piece of trashbags, I came out of hell, Satan hired me. Now go show your thirsty ass to someone else." Even before the day started, they ruined my mood.

"Damn, fine." Finally those annoyances left and the teacher started her lessons.

The day went by pretty fast, I went out to have lunch with my friends. After I returned, I saw a note on my desk saying, "Meet me on the rooftop of the abandoned building today after class or else I'll leak your phone number to all the guys of this school."

I'm not even kidding, but that person got me there. There's no way I can let that happen so I went there as asked.

I open the door and enter the rooftop. My eyes went wide seeing a guy who was holding a real knife, but I couldn't see his face clearly with all the sunlight.

But as soon as I saw his face all that came out of my mouth was, "OH FUCK-".
