• I watched as those popular girls sneered at me after I did my play. Something boiled inside of me. I felt like...punching them? No I'm not that violent. I'm not that brave.
    Just ignore them. Who the heck cares what they think? My friend's reply to me when I told her it echoed in my head. Maybe it was easy for her to ignore them. But I'm not like her. I take things personally. Always.
    I sat quietly down in my spot on the floor. I was close enough to those girls to hear their gossip. I'm so decent. They barely notice me.
    "Did you see Celia?" I heard Sabrina say.
    "Omigod! She was like, totally lame." Justine replied.
    "Omigod! You know her facial expression when she was acting??? Such a retard! She was like a thinged!!!" The girl with the same name as me said.
    I could see them all. Celia was making a weird looking face that was probably what I was doing. Justine and Sabrina were shierking with laughter. I felt that boiling feeling again. I bit the inside of my cheek. This was really started to get me mad.
    One of the teachers came over and told them to shut up. They all acted innocent and said they weren't talking. The teacher sighed and walked back to his chair. When his back was to them, Sabrina stuck up her middle finger.
    "You can't tell me to shut up!" She said. But no one other than her gang noticed.
    They burst into laughter again.
    After the show was over we all started to leave the gym. I told my friend what I heard. Her reply was obvious.
    "They're b!tches. Get over it Celia."
    I sighed. No one understood.



    We had gym for 7th period class again.
    The whole time, Sabrina, Justine, and that Celia was flirting with my crush. I bristled when I saw them there but I didn't do anything. Like I said. I'm not brave.
    They were playing volleyball. The whole time, I was getting hit with the volleyballs. On purpose. Everytime something hit me, they all shouted "YAY!". I felt hurt. But I didn't shout at them or get mad. I didn't want to start anything. I didn't do anything.


    But that was life. Keep your emotions inside. Intact with only yourself. Never show your emotions to other people. Hide them.
