CORA PHILLIPSWhen school let out, I hurriedly went outside, I didn't want Xander to follow me. I went out of the school gate, only to find mom there. I blinked confusedly, mom had not come to my school in ages, she looked so odd standing here. She had not sighted me yet. So I just stood there, wanting deceive myself that she was coming from work and decided to pick me up from school, and that she would smile and ask me how school was, and I would tell her about the guy who called the police on his grandma, she would laugh and tell me they had a weird relationship. I would ask how work was, and she will tell me about her boss who tended to behave like someone who needed a break from the world. We would laugh and get ice cream for Cory, and get dinner, maybe Chinese or pizza.But reality was harsher, because she came here, to remind me that I needed to see a psychiatrist. Or maybe she would take me

MARIE PHILLIPS1970. The weather was nice, it had always been, I was the type of person to be very sentimental with things like this, so I hoped that this year, I would be among the young ladies to get married. I had hope, that I would get married too, that everyone would stop talking about it in the town and everywhere I went. So that everyone would stop pitying the poor orphan that could not get married no matter how she tried.I knew of my beauty, I knew how beautiful I was, it was no news, everyone that saw me said it, female or male alike. Back in high school it was something to gloat about, then in college it was something that caused many of my friends and I to drift apart.

KYLE GARCIA After the torture of sitting down through the classes where everyone saw what had happened earlier, everyone laughed and jeered at me because of it. I finally got to leave. It was worse because Dawson was one of those making memes of the whole thing. He would even show me the memes before uploading them and laughing hysterically. I know Ray wanted to laugh too, I could literally see it on his face, but he held it in, and I didn't know if I should be grateful or not.After school ended for the day, I dreaded going outside, I didn't want to see the huge truck with a banner of my face hanging on it."Hey man, scared to go home?" Dawson asked as he clapped my back. I guess he noticed I was stalling."Who said anything about being scared?" I asked, I wasn't scared, I just didn't want to relive what had happened earlier, I don't think I would ever liv

CORA PHILLIPSI couldn't get some sleep last night, not even a wink, I cried or tried to, because I couldn't even find the strength to cry, I was not strong enough to cry, only strong people cried.. only people cried, I was not a person, I was a monster, a terrible mistake, something that should not have happened.. I wished I could disappear forever, it would make Mom really happy, I was not sure about Dad anymore after what happened last night, but if it would make me happy if he hated me like mom did, if he didn't, then I will forever hate myself, I would not be able to live with myself. After deliberating on just stabbing myself to death, or waiting till they could not handle me anymore, and they kick me out or something, I decided to just exist, I only meant something to Cory, so just existing would make him happy, existing was the goal now, to just exist. I walked to the bath

KYLE GARCIAWhen she said grandma would follow me to school every day, I did not think they were serious. So obviously, I declined the offer, why would I go to some random "professional" and start pouring my heart out to her or him, or whatever. I went to bed peacefully, or not so peacefully, because I was on edge as neither of them pushed it, they kept their cool even as I said no to their therapist solution.When I got out of bed, I checked to see if everything I held dear was intact, and it was, I was beginning to get scared, then I had my bath hurriedly, so I could get out of the house as fast as I could. I wore my clothes hurriedly, almost forgetting to comb my hair. But came back and combed it.As I walked down the stairs, I noticed everyone was still sleeping, everyone at home. I got giddy, I had won the round, I was not going to any therapy, and grandma would not be f

CORA PHILLIPS"if you won't go.. you would never be able to see Cory ever again."That line repeated itself in my head for the dozenth time. I blinked to clear my head, I knew what was coming, I didn't want it to come, but it pressed forth, like it wanted to break free. Tears sprung from my eyes, because I knew what was coming, and I couldn't stop it. I turned to walk away, to leave the presence of my parents, for their safety. The world tilted under my feet, I held on to the couch so I would not fall, I tried to focus my eyes on something else, I couldn't. I saw my dad in a warp, like his face was contorted into different shapes, he was bent over me, asking if I was okay, but everything sounded like I was submerged under water. "Cora! Are you okay??"

CORA PHILLIPS I walked towards the hallways, my two best friends by my side, we were laughing at something I had said earlier, my shiny blonde hair shaking as I laughed. Students in the hallways greeted me as my friends and I passed, but I could see the envy in their eyes, they wanted to be me, of course..who wouldn't?, I was the most liked and most popular girl here at Excellent high school. "Hey Cora!" They greeted.I waved all of them, smiling warm smiles as I did. My alarm clock shrilled from my bed side, disrupting my dream and waking me from my sleep. I sighed, I knew it was a dream from the very beginning, my life could not be that perfect, but for a split second, I had hoped that the dream was my life, and my life was a nightmare..but who was I kidding?
