“Woah, he’s cute,” she said smiling, and fluffing her hair.
“Denise?”
“Oh yeah. Well I was thinking, since I’m cool, and I know you’ll never be able to know what that feels like-”.
“Excuse me?” I stopped Denise in the middle of her sentence. What did she just say?
“I said I know I’m cool, and you know your not…..nor will you ever be,”. Tears were forming in my eyes.
What happened to her? Why is she turning out this way?
“Denise,” I said, trying to hold back my tears. “I don’t care if I’m cool or not, I’d rather be who I am than a jerk like you,”. A tear slid down my cheek as I grabbed my books and stomped to the front row of desks. A girl named Rachel was sitting to my right. She was in my fifth grade class. We were friends but never that close.
“Is everything alright Maddy?”
