"So what classes do you have Ava?" Ella asked looking at me.

"I take AP classes and an art class." I said while trying to wiggle my hand out of hers but it was no use, she had a strong grip. She must work out or something.

She puffed out her cheeks and pouted," that stinks. I don't have any classes with you." Thank the lord for that.

We continued walking down the hall quietly which was odd. I looked at Ella who was looking at the ground. "Are you still pouting?" I asked.

She looked at me and nodded her head yes, "Off course I am. Wouldn't you be if you couldn't spend all day with the girl you love?"

"Probably not." I answered bluntly. She opened her mouth gaping," you're so mean." I don't think i was mean.

I looked back at Ella, who was still pouting, like a child. I mentally sighed. "You know you don't have to be a baby. You'll still see me at lunch and p.e. and tonight." She looked at me and smiled,"I totally forgot about that!"

"Now will you stop pouting. It makes me feel uncomfortable." I told her.

She continued to smile then gave me a kiss on the cheek, so annoying, "well I'll see you later then, my bride to be."

She let go of my hand and continued down the hall to her class. I turned around walking to my class and held the cheek she kissed. Why does she do this? And why did I care if she was upset? I guess I'm just tired or something. I mean I did have a tiresome morning. 

I dropped my hand from my cheek as I used it to open the door into my class.

"Ah, so glad of you to join us Ava." My teacher said sitting in his chair. Gosh Mr. Sanders can be so annoying.

"I know I'm late. I was helping someone find their classroom." I said walking to my desk and sitting down. He squinted his eyes studying me, then shrugged his shoulders. "Ok, good for you know where were we."

I got my book out and turned it to the chapter we were on and started taking notes. It was only moments later when I noticed a paper landing on my desk.

I pick it up then look around the room trying to figure out who threw it, but saw no suspicious looking people. I look back down a the paper and unfolded it. It read:

Hey Weirdo, so I heard you hired a hottie to be your fake girlfriend, but I bet you use her for other things. Wink wink. You should lend that slut to me so I can have a little fun too.

Btw this is John.

I look up and saw John smiling at me and waving. Is that pimply brace faced nerd serious! I got angry, making my blood boil. No one calls Ella a slut.

I got out a piece of paper fixing to write something. People like that make me sick. I then stopped what I was doing, realizing if I write back it'll just make things worse for me and I hate having problems. So instead I got up and walked to the front of the class and handed the note to my teacher and told him everything.

I turned around walking to my seat and saw John looking at me with a worried look.

"John, this sort of thing is uncalled for, will you come to the principal's office with me?"

John went back to quickly grab his things and then followed him to the office, "will you please not tell my mother?" He asked Mr. Sanders as he shut the door.

Once they where gone everyone started looking and snickering wondering what just happened. Then some guy looks at me, "Wow I didn't know you snitch on nerds now Weirdo?" He said rudely.

I looked at him,"he deserved what I did to him." The guy was fixing to say something else, but I stopped him, "Don't ask what he did because it's not any of your business." I turned away from him and pulled out my phone and head phones and began listening to music. I then grabbed a pencil and paper and started drawing.

I felt some paper wads hit me, but I ignored it and just continued my drawing. I hate high school.

I can't believe I got that angry. I do get angry, but it's never been that bad. It just bothered me what he called Ella, but then again why did it bother me so much?

The bell rang the same time I finished my drawing. I ended up drawing a picture of eyes with fire in one eye, but a calm snow fall in the other.

I got up and grabbed my things and headed for my next class.

-----

The day was now nearly over and all I have left was lunch, then p.e. and then my day is over.

I continued down the hall to my locker and saw Ella leaning against it."Can you move? You're in the way." I told her.

She turned around then smiled, "it's nice to see you too!"

I opened my locker and put my things up then saw my reflection in the mirror. I studied and touched my blank face, but was interrupted. "Are you ok?" I looked at Ella then quickly shut my door. "I'm fine."

I then quickly started walking to the cafeteria. I then felt a hand in mine and knew whose it was,"Look if you need to talk, I'm all ears."

"Like I said I'm fine and I have a therapist to do that with." I spat out, looking at Ella, who had a concerned look on her face. " Now let's go see what crappy food they're serving us today." I said turning and walking faster.

Yup I was right when I said crappy, because today it's cooks choice and they're serving us some kind of slop.

Ella looked at me with a weird looking face," this looks gross."

"Yup it is. I'm not eating this slop. I'm just gonna head to p.e." I said as I got up to dump my food in the trash can.

I continued heading to the gym, but I heard someone hollering at me. "Wait Ava, I'm coming too!" Ella said.

"I'm not gonna wait on you." I said still heading to p.e.

I heard running feet and felt a hand in mine again. I'm getting used to this, so I won't complain. We continued our walk to the gym and into the locker rooms, where we had to change into our gym clothes.

"Hey Ava can I stand by you, while I change?" Ella asked playing with her hair. Why is she twirling her hair. She must have headlice or something. Gross.

"I don't care. Just no looking at me." She smiled and nodded her head ok.

I started changing but for some reason I felt eyes on me. I turned to look at Ella," I said no pea-

When I looked at Ella I noticed she was all tangled up in her shirt. How did she end up like this, I don't know.

"You know you're stuck right?" I heard a sigh,"yes, I know. Now can you please help me?"

"Help yourself." I said harshly. "Pwetty pwease?"

"Fine." I said.

I walked to her and started to help lift up her shirt, but it was kind of stuck. No wonder she's stuck she needs a bigger size. I kept lifting up her shirt, " Oww!" She yelped in pain.This is really stuck.

"Ok one more lift." I said and in seconds I got the top off her, while she was standing their holding her head in pain.

I then looked in front of me and noticed her boobs practically in my face. Wow so big. I then looked down at her body and saw how fit she was. I was right she does work out. I looked back at Ella and said," You're surprisingly good looking." I said bluntly.

I noticed her face getting red and she smiled," Were you checking out my body?" Why would I do that?

"No I was just trying to figure out why your shirt was stuck and found the problem." I said pointing to her boobs.

She held her chest and pouted," my boobs aren't big."

"Well they were for this shirt. Maybe you should lay off the food."

Ella opened her mouth in shock then slapped me, "You're so mean Ava! Don't talk to me!" She grabbed her things then walked away.

I held my cheek still standing their confused, "What did I say and to make her slap me?"

I finished changing and walked outside onto the track field. I stood in a spot and began stretching then noticed Ella talking and stretching with a group of other girls not too far from me. I checked the time on my watch and saw I still had 10 minutes until the coach gets here. I need to ask her why she slapped me and got mad.

I walked to Ella, who noticed me and turned around, "Ella, hey...Why did you slap me?" I asked.

"You should know why." She said not making eye contact with me.

"I don't know why that's why I asked?" I said getting annoyed.

"Figure it out yourself!" She snapped then walked away. Why is she such a pain.

I continued stretching for the remainder of the time, still trying to figure out why she did that, but the coach showed up and blew her whistle signaling us all to line up on the tracks. She blew her whistle again and we began running our 5 laps. I hate running laps.

The whole time I was running I did nothing but think about why she slapped me. Then it hit me. That's why she's mad? I was just speaking the truth.

I finished my lap and walked over to the bench and got a drink of water. I then looked over and saw Ella who was sitting on the other end of the bench.

I walked over and sat by her, "What do you want?" She asked harshly.

"I know why you slapped me." I said nonchalantly.

"Why?" She said crossing her arms and looking at me. This is so annoying. "It was because I said you where fat. Right?"

She sighed and looked at me,"yes it was."

"Ok." I was fixing to get up and leave, but she grabbed me and pulled me back down.

"You're not off the hook yet. You have to apologize." What?

"What.... Why?"

"You were mean and hurt my feelings." Why is she making me do this? She knows it's kind of hard for me to understand others feelings especially my feelings. How should I have known I hurt hers. I looked back at her, who looked sad, Or I think she's sad.

I then felt something in my stomach and chest. If I remember correctly, this is what guilt feels like. Ok this is new.

I looked at Ella, "this is hard for me to say, but I'm sorry for calling you fat."

Ella stared into my eyes and smiled a big smile," I forgive you." She said hugging me and giving me a kiss on the cheek. "But don't be mean like that again." She warned.

"I'll try. It's just hard because saying what comes to my mind is a way to help me express my feelings."

She looked at me with a questioned look," Why don't you ever say good or happy things?"

"Feeling and saying negative things is easier than feeling happy." I answered bluntly. Why did I say that.

"Well it's a good thing I'm here." She said smiling and getting up, "because from this point on I'm gonna make you feel happy and not just that, but make you actually feel your emotions and most of all make you smile." She said looking down and smiling at me.

I got up and looked at her, "Good luck it's impossible. My parents should know they tried, but gave up."

"Well that's one thing about me. I never give up!" She said smiling and holding her finger up in the air.

"Well Ms. Ella since you never give up, why don't you run another lap around the track, since to me you don't seem tired!" Our coach yelled at her.

Ella just smiled, "No problem," She turned and kissed me on my cheek then turned and ran her lap.

Today was such a painful today.
