The cold water felt
good on my skin. I let the water run down my back for
a good half hour. I finally stepped out of the
shower, wrapping a towel around my body. I plugged in
the blow-dryer and turned it on high. About halfway
done the doorbell rang. With the towel still wrapped
around me, I walked down the hallway. The doorbell
rang again.
“Coming, hold your horses.” I
yell, entering the living room.
I opened the door to see the stupid boy with the
brown curly hair and green eyes. He still had his
ears pierced.
“What do you want, Walt?” I
asked.
He didn’t answer.
“You have 3 seconds to talk before I slam this
door in your face.” I said, irritation creeping
into my voice. “3… 2… 1…
goodbye.” I say, beginning to close the
door.
Walt puts his hand up, preventing me from moving the
door another inch. He looks into my eyes.
“Is it true?” He asked.
“Is what true?” I asked,
confused. My eyes widen with realization. Walt
smirked.
“How did you find out?” I asked,
looking down at my feet.
“I did my research.” Walt says,
smiling devilishly. “You’re a
freak. I hope you get cancer.”
Tears welled up in my eyes as Walt started to walk
away. If he told anyone my life would be
ruined. But I still needed to go to school.
After all, I had promised.

I pulled on a tank top and a pair of sweats, not
caring what I looked like. I slipped on a pair of
flip flops and trudged out the door. It would be
maybe an hour before school started, so I decided to take
my sweet time.
I dragged my feet across the pavement, humming along
to my iPod. I must have been off in my own world,
because I didn’t hear the foot steps behind me.
And when they yelled in ear, I shoot 10 feet in the
air.
