I woke up as the sunlight hit my bedroom window. Morning. Another school day. I pushed back my covers and got out of bed, my feet sinking into the warm carpet. I walked over to my mirror and listened to the silence.1
I stared at the girl I could see who stared back attentively. i fell into my thoughts, they soon became negative. I scowled at the anger in my reflection and forced myself to smile "they like you better when you smile Ella" I whispered to the girl in my reflection.2
I skipped breakfast, showered and burnt my stubborn dark blond ringlets until they eventually became straight. I applied my make-up and left for school - hiding myself behind cosmetics. 3
I rounded the corner near to school, my friends greeted me, about 16 of them. We all hung together in a flock like sheep. Ollie sauntered over to me and placed his arm round my waist then highed-fived Matt and Chris. He turned and squinted into the distance, spying Jenn and Caz. He sniggered.4
I knew why. Jenn and Caz were lesbians and Gothic try-hard anarchists. Insults flared between us whenever we met but I never thought anything of it until last time when i saw tears burning in Caz's eyes.5
"Ollie, maybe today we could just ignore them?" I suggested quickly. 6
His arms went from round my waist. He looked into my eyes, "Why Elle, do you wanna be just like them?"7
"No it's just-"8
"Yer Elle, we could cover you in black paint and find you a girlfriend too" Rob suggested, his words echoed in my mind.9
I looked at Jenn and Caz helplessly as my friends laughed at Rob. I thought quickly, the two of the walked towards us.10
"Hey whats your problem you goth freaks? Why do you like the idea of being depressed all the time? Grow up and live with it! Plus you guys shouldn't be so depressed when you have each other" 11
It was the best insult I could manage and I could see that my words cut them deep. Ollie replaced his arm around me. The rest grinned appreciatively. 12
"Why don't you guys kiss?" Steve added. We were given the middle finger - one of Jenn's favourites. Ollie smiled at me, just another day at school.13
