One.

The name of my school is OAHS which stands for Over Achievers High School. Weird name right?

In my school,some students came to school to learn and study. These were called the nerds.

Some came to school to bully and show off their new designer clothes. They didn't care about school at all. They just wanted attention and high school drama so we called them the drama queens.

While some others came to school to learn a little and gawk at a particular bad boy.  They got bullied and laughed at by other students. Teachers didn't even care about these ones. These set of human beings were called the pathetic ones.

The categories mentioned above were the main categories in my high school and I  fell into the category of the pathetic ones.

I got bullied by May and her group,laughed at when the same May pulls a public stunt and invisible to teachers. I was also in love with the residential bad boy of the school. How pathetic!

The bad boy goes by the name of Troy Black and even his name is sexy. Troy was the  most handsome boy in the whole school. He was a football and basketball player,and guitarist.

He looked always awesome everyday,in his all black clothes and leather jacket. I,on the other hand, was always wearing a skirt that stopped just above my knees,a head warmer,glasses that I don't really need and baggy tee-shirt. Whenever I wear jeans,they are always the washed out type that leave nothing to be desired.

Troy and I were in the same geography class,so I always got to class five minutes earlier so that I could sit down beside him. This part of my life was also very pathetic.

He never really noticed me but then,nobody ever does;except the bullies and my friends;Sapphire and Victoria.

Speaking of my friends,I would like to introduce them. They were a little bit like me but they are white which some 'people' will consider a huge difference.

Sapphire always wore her pyjamas to school and her hair was always messy.

This is not the cute type of messy,this is the oily and sweaty type of messy hair. She was one of those chubby,plump girls that were conscious of their weight and always declared a hunger strike but ended up eating anyways making her even more fatter. Not that I had a problem with that. Considering her weight and the sort of high school we attend,Sapphire was the butt of many mean jokes and it destroyed her self esteem so if any boy talked to her she would turn into a blabbering mess and she would start stress eating. We were very much alike.

Victoria was the more courageous one,with freckles and baggy slacks with baggy tee-shirt.  She had approached me and Sapphire in middle school and she declared us her best friends and we couldn't deny that. Not like we had a choice anyways.

"Ingrid!"I cringed when Sapphire's high pitched voice reached my ears and she walked over to me carrying herself carefully.

"Hey."I greeted cheerfully when she reached where I was staying but when her eyes scanned my face,it widened in horror.

"What happened to you,Ingrid?"Sapphire screamed attracted a lot of attention and I shook my head at her.

"Nothing."I whispered softly,using my hair to cover half of my face.

She looked at me,disbelief apparent on her face"May did this to you,didn't she?"

I ignored her and continued walking ahead but Sapphire still followed me. No surprise there!

"Hey to the hoes."I flinched when I saw Victoria next to me. She was very fast. Perks of having long legs.

She smiled at Sapphire and proceeded to smile at me but stopped,eyebrows raised"What in the hell happened to you?"She asked the same question Sapphire had asked but the words she used were more colourful.

"I had a bad day"I stated blankly,hoping that they would drop the topic.

Victoria looked at me worriedly and said"Yeah,no kidding. Why is your head warmer wet?Did May do this to you?"

Tell them,my mind told me,tell your friends.

"No,she didn't do this. I was clumsy and I hit my face on the toilet at home."I lied.

Victoria looked at me strangely and turned to talk to Sapphire,telling her that they needed to watch over me. Their conversation was hazy in my mind because he decided to make a grand entrance just then.

Everyone noticed,including my friends. I knew this because they had turned to frozen statues beside me.

Troy waved to everyone with a plastic smile on his face as if he was bored with it all. I was used to this part. What I was not used to was the fact that Troy turned to where I was standing.

Oh...my...potato. Did Troy Black just wave at me? He was also walking to where I was.

On impulse,I smoothened the wrinkles on my skirt with my hands,forced a smile on my face,practicing the type of 'hello' I would use. When he got close to me,I ignored my hammering chest and opened my mouth to talk but Troy walked past me and went over to meet May who,as fate would have it,was standing at my back. They hugged, tightly and it was as if they were squeezing my chest too. May tried to kiss him but he ducked.

Troy and May...

God please...no.

"Well"Sapphire said"so much for our day dream. He is so handsome. But Mayn is much more handsome anyways."

Victoria grunted loudly"I am sure he doesn't know that she's a witch. Even though I frankly don't see what you see in him but if he knew he'd leave her in a second,don't you think so,Ingrid?"

I was weak with grief. My worst nightmare had turned to reality.

"Sure,whatever"I answered Victoria.
