Anna races home from that horrible dinner and heads to her room where she stands there in stunned silence. She isn't sure why this keeps happening to her. She starts to assume that this is how all men are, that this is how they show affection. This was the only sort of affection that a guy had ever shown her, so this was becoming normal. It was 1 am and Anna was still awake, insomnia was a constant battle with her. Most days she didn't get to bed until 4 am. Since she was always up late that gave her time to write, make playlists of her favorite songs and dance around her room like a crazy person. She always did her best thinking this late,
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ, her alarm is going off and she rolls over to turn it off and then goes back to sleep. Her mom always had to send in their 2 dogs in the morning to get her up. This rarely ever helped, most of the time the dogs would end up snuggling with her and falling asleep. Odd enough this was always her most favorite part of the day. Sometimes, if she was up early she would just wait for her mom to open her door to send the dogs in. She finally gets up and only has 5 minutes to get ready, this was more than usual so she slowly gets ready and actually eats breakfast, a to- go breakfast but hey it worked. Her mom drops her off and her friends were waiting for her out front of school. Not Ashley and Jenny but her friends that hung under the crazy tree they were all the rejects. She loved these friends, she fit in perfectly with them and there was never any drama. Once finishing up talking with these friends she heads to her 1st class of the day. She was late, but never cared because this was her least favorite teacher. He taught biology and he always made the class watch what they called "animal porn" because it was a video of a bunch of animals doing it. She had one friend in this class she always sat next to, she was always cutting her wrists while in class under the table. Her name was Tina, she always seemed happy but you could tell that she was sad. Much like how Anna felt. They became friends because they hated school, most of their teachers and they both loved to write. They spent most of the class period reading each others writing. Anna was almost done with her school day when she heads to her 2nd to last class, she loved the teacher in this class but did not like anyone in it. She was always made fun of by everyone. It didn't help that a lot of Jenny's friends were in this class and they never left her alone. This class was one of the worst she has had,because of her classmates. Greg, Jenny's friend had gotten Anna's number from Jenny and kept texting her inappropriately things in class. During the last part of class the students were allowed to look at their phones, when Anna pulls out her phone and sees what Greg had been sending her, her mouth drops. Not wanting him to see a reaction from her she puts her phone away until the end of class when she can go through and delete all the horrible texts. When she is leaving class she pulls out her phone and scrolls through them. It was a bunch of texts asking her how big her breasts were, if she was a virgin, if he could have sex with her in the parking lot and if she was as big of a slut as Jenny made her seem. Anna's first reaction was to run up and slap Jenny, but she kept her cool. That is what Jenny would want. Instead she walks up to him and answers all of his questions "I'm a 38 fuckin B, I am still a virgin you fucktard and no you are gross I would never have sex with you in the parking lot and no I am no slut, unlike you" and stares at him. You wouldn't think that this would have worked but it actually made Greg think that she was crazy which made him walk away, if not more run away. Ann 1, Greg 0. Heading to her last class she sat in the back row feeling accomplished, like she could take on anything. Not paying attention she tries doodling in her notebook, her doodles always ended up looking like a huge mess of dog turds and flowers but it relaxed her. While doodling she started daydreaming about random things, mostly about living somewhere else or what it would be like to be someone else. She always wanted to be someone else, someone with skill and talent, the two things she wishes she had.
Since she had a really hard time saying no to Ashley she ended up at her house after school, it was going really well. She was teaching Anna "Sweet Dreams are Made of this" by the Eurythmics. They were both having such a great time. Lincoln was sitting on the sofa staring at her but that didn't bother her, she was to in to getting the song perfect. Ashley says "We should play this song for the talent show!" Anna enthusiastically agrees. She really wanted to show off her skills. That's when Ashley said the worst thing to say, "Jenny really wants to play the guitar with me so maybe you could make up a dance to go along with it? We already have singers and lets face it you aren't that good at playing the guitar or singing anyway." Anna reluctantly agrees, at least she would be on stage, and her 7 years of dance lessons would come in handy. She heads home but not before Lincoln comes up to her and says "What no goodbye?" She stops mid step, sighs and says "Since when did you deserve a goodbye?" He pulls her into the side of the yard and says "You and I would make a cute couple, don't ya think." "What the damn hell" are the only words that came out of her mouth. She really had grown to dislike him and him being nice to her once wasn't going to change that. He was really trying to bring the charm on with all the things he was saying to her. So much so that she really didn't know how to react. No boy had ever shown any interest in her, the only interest guys ever showed in her was things that made her feel uncomfortable and used, besides Wyatt. Wyatt made her feel like she wasn't so invisible. Should she be flattered or disgusted, she really didn't know. It wouldn't be to long until she found out.
To Be Continued. <3
