heart
was racing. What was I thinking? Did I expect them to start talking
to me like I was their friend? I hadn’t said a word to any of them
in the years I’ve known them.
    “You what? Did
you expect us to talk to you?" They all laughed at Lora’s remark. My heart
shattered at that.
    “Look,” Becca
said, standing up and walking to me, “there’s a reason we don’t
talk to you .
We’re actually liked by people. And, well, you’re not. If people
ever saw us being nice to you, that would ruin our reputation.
People expect us to be us . So, do yourself a favor and just
walk away before you embarrass yourself even
more.”
    She smirked at me and walked away
back to her friends. Even after that, I stood there. My heart was
racing even faster. But I wasn’t embarrassed or scared. I was
angry. Very, very angry.
    It took awhile for one of those
idiots to realize that I was still there. Lora looked back and
sighed. That made all of the others to look at me too. They all
gave me a look that said they wanted me dead.
    “Maybe you’re
too stupid to understand what Becca just said to you,” said Sarah
Grey. “ Get the hell away from us!” They all laughed. I crossed my arms and did
something I would’ve thought I’d never do. I just realized and said
one thing.
    “I’ll see you all in Hell.” With
that, I just turned around and walked back to the bleachers. I
didn’t hear a single word from them. I didn’t hear them laugh. So
at least I got something accomplished. I showed them that I wasn’t
someone to mess with. And I prove that even more... really
soon
    I sat back down and waited for the
game to start back up. It hit the ten-minute mark in halftime and
the cheerleaders ran into the middle of the field, cheering as loud
as they could, mashing their pom-poms together and shaking
them.
    The crowd around me went silent
and started to listen to the cheerleader’s cheer. I couldn’t
comprehend why they thought it would be important coming for those
idiots. I watched as they all got into their formation for the
cheer.
    “ You can think you’re better, but
we can prove you wrong! The Dragons come to beat you and to prove
that they are strong! We’re here to win and nothing else and that’s
why you are wrong!” The whole crowd ate that up and cheered for
them. I, on the other hand, knew that was terrible.
    The girls all got in the formation
to stunt, all of them cheering, “Go Dragons!” Lora, Becca, and
Sarah all got ready to be thrown up. Just seeing them smile that
stupid smile made me mad. My heart started to race again, but
faster this time.
    With a mighty
push, all three of them were thrown in the air. Becca added in the
splits, making the crowd cheer even louder. How could they cheer
for them? They’re selfish, stupid, and probably the meanest people
ever born! They don’t deserve fame or happiness! They deserve
sorrow and loneliness! They deserve what I have!
    That’s when I snapped back into
perspective and noticed it was dead silent. Why had the crowd stop
cheering? Then, I saw why.
    Lora, Becca, and Sarah were all in
the air. But they were staying there. They all squirmed as they
floated above the shocked cheerleaders below. No one knew what to
do. Some people around me covered their mouths in surprise. I
couldn’t help but stare at them.
    “ Help!” Lora cried, flailing her
arms around like an idiot. My heart stopped racing and I calmed
down. That’s when they all fell back down and landed on the girls
who weren’t prepared to catch them. The whole group of girls fell
down to the ground, moaning in pain.
    More than half the team of
football players ran out into the field to help the girls back up.
Almost everyone around me started to talk. I sat there in shock,
watching the girls as they got back up. Had I done that? It sure
felt like it. I looked around and quickly sat up, leaving the crowd
of people behind me. My mind was freaking out. My heart was
racing.
    I busted through the bathroom
