chapter. 2
I woke up that morning anxious, nervous,and every other emotion
out there, I was having second thoughts, But It was to late to
back out now. I headed downstairs to find my mom passed out on
the floor. Typical I thought as I woke her up.
"Mom?" I said. "Lets get off the floor and go to
bed." she smelt terribly like beer.
"What?" she said getting up confused. then she turned
around and went down the hall to her room. I grabbed an apple and
a jacket before walking out of the door, well here goes I
thought.
--------------
I pulled up to the school, and parked in my parking spot. I
glanced in my review mirror at mysellf took a deep breath and got
out of the car, when I entered the double doors of the school, it
seemed like noone noticed at first, but then I heard whispering
and pointing, and I knew they were talking about me. I entered my
first period, and was ambushed with a hug by a girl I diden't
know, "Oh my gosh Elise." she said looking at me with
symphaty in her eyes. "You're so brave!" "I
would have just let mine fall out!" another girl said.
"I didn't even know that you like..had..cancer." a
third girl said. I didn't say a word. If I didn't say it
out loud then it wasn't techinecly lying right?
"That's kind of a rude thing to ask alllie." The
first girl said hitting allie on the arm. "I was just asking
Alysa." she said punching her friend back playfully. They
were staring at me I had to say something. "I have
leukemia." I said shakingly.
"Not yet.." I said. "I have to go and sit
down." I said "Okay talk to you later" Alysa said
smiling. As i headed over to my seat I glanced over at Avery and
tara.They were looking at me with a weird facial expression, I
coulden't tell what they were thinking. The class went by
pretty fast and when the bell rang, I hurried to leave. I got to
my locker to get my history book for second period when someone
came and stood beside me. "Hi Elise." A tall brown eyed
handsome boy said. "I'm Nathan." He said smiling.
"Um..Hi..How do you know my name?" I said as I ran my
fingers through my hair. "Well You are the talk of the
school! " He said laughing.
"Oh yeah" I said smirking. "So what do you
want?" I asked staring into his gorgeous eyes.
"I just want you to know if you ever need someone to talk to
you can come to me" He said "I know what your going
through my little sister has it..well had." I coulden't
help but feel guilty.
"Oh I'm sorry.." I said. "It's Fine."
He said, after a short pause he countinued. "Well, anyway
I've gotta go see you soon Elise." He walked away. I
headed to second period.
I saw that girl from yesterday flirting with tyler who was now in
my seat, I shyly approached them. "Um, That's kinda my
seat." They both looked up, as soon as they saw me tyler
immediatly stood up. "Oh I'm so sorry." He said.
"It's fine" I smiled, even though the guilt was
practically eating me alive. The rest of the day was pretty
normal except for the sympthathy stares, whispers, and every now
and then people would come up and ask me questions about my
"cancer" That I should know but coulden't answer.
but, they diden't seem to notice. After school ended I got in
my car and headed towards sonic to get me something to eat before
I headed home. As I orderd my cheesesticks and large coke.
I got A text message:
Hey this is avery. I
just was wondering if you wanted to hang out this weekend with me
and allie and bethany? I know were not good friends but its
always great meeting new people right? haha well let me
know
I didn't
respond right away. Is this really a good idea? I thought to
myself.
Maybe, maybe not. I debated and after a while I wrote
back.:
Sure
haha.
I went home and I could still feel the terrible knots of guilt in
my stomach.
I finally got to my house and went straight to my room. Maybe
this whole thing is not such a bad thing if you think about it,
The guilt pain slowly washed away as I sipped my coke. It'll
all be alright I thought. But I knew in the back of my head that
that wasent true. I got off my bed and went to my closet to pick
out an outfit for this friday, along with a beanie hat to cover
my bare head.
--------------------------

Pretending.
chapter. 1
I rubbed my hand on my bald head as I stared into the mirror.
maybe this wasn't such a good idea, no ones going to believe
me, I thought oh well it's too late now. I started picking up
my black locks of hair of the ground and put them in a plastic
sack and put them at the top of my closet.
I needed to get this off my mind so I headed downstairs to get
something to eat.
----------
(Earlier that day)
I walked into the halls of AppleBerry high school. It was the
first day back after spring break, and everyone seemed exhausted
as they moped down the halls like ghosts.
I went straight to first period, I liked being the first one in
there so noone could notice when I walked in. "Eww,theres
Elise." I heard someone say as I turned around I saw my old
best friends from elementary school, Avery and Tara. They glared
at me when I looked at them, so I walked faster, and faster and
found myself in the girls room and locked myself in a stall, The
bell rang, for first period,I should stay here, I told myself. as
I decided to put my long black hair into a braid.
I was in my stall a good 15 minutes, when I heard someone come
in, I put my feet up so they couldn't see me.
"Yeah Tylers' so totally into you." I heard one
girl say.
"Well, duhh." The other one said. "Hey I should
start asking him to sit behind me in English!"
"doesn't that girl- um whats here name, Ele? No
that's not it.. Elise! Sit behind you?" The other girl
argued. "Umm I don't know I don't know who that
is." Then I heard them walk out.
I started crying. Then, I told my self to stop and suck It
up.
I looked at the time It was 9:26. Dang, I'm late for second
period.
I got to my class. and entered noone looked up they just kept
doing what they were doing.
I found the teacher. "Oh, sorry I'm late Mr.
Johnson I wa- "
He cut me off. "Your late?" he said confused "I
could have sworn You were In here"
"Oh no I wasn't" I said a little hurt. "Sorry
about that..Umm Celise? have a seat." He said
as if nothing was wrong. I couldn't hold back the tears, They
started pouring out.
Everyone just stared at me. Haha what a crybaby someone said,
soon everyone joined in on the name calling. I ran out to my car
and cried, streams of mascara and tears ran down my face, I felt
so alone, useless and stupid. I looked in the mirror at my hazel
eyes and grabbed a makeup wipe out of my bag and wiped my makeup
off. Then I drove home.
------------------
I zoned back In to the present when I heard the car door slam
outside It was probably my mom and she was probably drunk.
Realizing that she might notice my bald head I ran upstairs. I
heard her from upstairs, she called my name, I didn't answer.
I heard her walk to her room and shut the door. I decided that it
was time for bed so I curled up under the covers and went to
sleep wondering what everyone would think tomorrow.
------------
Ps if your reading this for the
first time read the prolouge cuz it'll make more sense just
letting ya know. love you guys.
(:
Pretending.
(Prolouge)
Have you ever walked into a room and
felt totally invisible? I mean like noone even glances at you, or
acknowleges your existence and you actually feel like noone can
see you? I have. everyday for 5 years.
My so called best friends ditched me back in the sixth
grade because I was weird and awkward. and my parents? Yeah
right. My dad walked out on us when I was 4 and ever since then
she's been an acoholic, She barely even remembers my
name. That's why I have to do this, I know, trust
me I know its wrong on so many levels, never would i have thought
that I would do this. But I just need someone to care about me
even if it's a lie.
I finally picked up the shaver, and put it to my head.
I'm going to pretend to have cancer.

Secret letters
chapter. 1
I woke up to the annoying buzzing of my alarm clock.
Ugh. I had been dreading this day since June, The first day of
school I was dreading it after everything that has happened over
the past 2 months, But I had to be strong And put on my fake
smile and make it through the day.
I got dressed, Then headed downstairs to eat breakfast, My little
brothers were already there fighting over the last bit of cereal
. I grabbed a hot pocket and sat down at the table,
"Madi!!" My little brother, Chris yelled. "Tell
Austin to give me the cereal!"
""No!!!" Austin screamed. "Guys Chill!"
I said loudly. I grabbed more cereal from the top of the fridge
and handed it to them.
sometimes I wish I had a sister. I thought, I went upstairs to
check on my mom She hasn't gotten up on time ever since dad
died. "Mom?" I said shaking her to wake up. She opened
her eyes and looked around confused. "I'm up!" She
mumbled. "Okay." I'm off to school."
"Bye."
♦♦
I pulled up to the new huge high school They built this summer.
Okay I thought just 8 hours,
I finished putting my lipgloss on and grabbed my purse, And
headed to the building.
I entered and found my locker and started organizing It. I heard
high heels walking down the halls. I knew who It was without even
looking. My ex-best friend, Megan, She ditched me for the popular
girls right after my dad died. I Flash backed to the funeral,
Everyone was crying, I had never been to a funeral before that,
and I never want to. Megan showed up, But, I could tell she
wasn't the same. I was crying In the bathroom and she told me
that I was kinda bumming her out, Then she left And we
haven't spoken since.
She opened The locker next to mine, I refused to make eye
contact. And she did too.
The rest of the day was uneventful until lunch. I sat down at an
empty table, I grabbed my notebook and started writing while I
bit into my apple, Suddenly a cute guy I had never seen before
sat by me.
"Hi!" He said cheerfully. "Um..Hi.." I said
confused.
"I'm Liam" He said holding his hand out for me to
shake. "I'm new and I saw you sitting here alone So I
thought That I should say Hi." He smiled. "Oh well
It's nice too meet you." I said. "I'm
maddie" I said. He was kinda cute. I thought. But there was
no way he could be interested to me.
"Oh I have to go!" I said looking at my watch.
"See you tomorrow!" He said As I gathered my things I
smiled, I headed to the trashcan to dispose of my garbage. Megans
table was right in front of the garbage. As I walked past her
table She stuck her leg out and tripped me. I was ready to fall
flat on my face when someone caught me. I looked up and It was
Stefan Summers. My crush since 7th grade. I was so embarrassed. I
took off running until I got to my car. I started crying. So much
for a good first day.
♦♦
I finally got home, fixed my little brothers breakfast, Then ran
up to my room and curled up in a ball and grabbed the picture of
my dad and held it to my chest and fell asleep.
"Sweetie?" my mother said waking up me up.
"Yeah?" I said Tucking the picture under my pillow.
"How was school?" She said looking concerned.
"Great!" I said lieing. "Okay, I know you're
lying but If you want to talk about It I'm here." she
said about to leave before adding. "Dinners downstairs if
you want to eat." She headed back downstairs.
I guess i should start my homework I grabbed my purse and opened
it to find a pretty blue envelope with a heart on it. What's
this I thought? I carefully opened it. I read
it:
I dreamed of a love
a love so true
and then from above
God sent you
When our eyes met
I turned away
Only to regret
That grateful day, I wish I could tell you how I feel In person
but I'm too shy.
XOX Secret love.
I had no Idea
who it was from but It made my day and I had to find out who
wrote it.
Sorry I
haven't wrote In forever. Let me know what you guys
think!
