You Are Everything

"You won’t believe this, he tried to kiss me. I’m not joking Annabelle.”

I stared off into the distance, not listening to a word she’s saying. I didn’t want to hear about another one of her stories from her fantastic life.

“Hello? Aren’t you even paying attention to me?”, Clara said.

“Not really”, I responded in a flat tone.

Clara gives a sigh and looks away. Her eyes shimmered as the sun hit the side of her face, and her natural rosy lips looked immaculate. How did I end up with such a beautiful best friend

“Hey, Belle, isn’t that Keagan walking in the annex?", she says in a playful tone.

“So what if it is, he’ll never notice me anyways", I respond. I look at the boy, longingly. I wanted to talk to him so badly, but I just couldn’t. I could never do that.

I stare at him, as we walks though our school’s corridors. He talks to everyone he sees. His hair is slicked back, with few strands in the front, creating an almost businessman type style. He looked different from how he acted.

I look away. My heart beating faster than usual. I wanted to be close to him. I wanted him to look at me. Please.

I go on my phone, scrolling past all of the pitch perfect girls. I am jealous. Their hair was silky smooth, and their skin was fair. I wish I was them.

"Belle, Belle! Annabelle! Look who’s walking over to our table! Look, Look!”, Clara whispers to me. I have no idea what all of her fuss is about. I put down my phone and look up, Keagan is standing right in front of us, smiling.

My heart pounds, as I stare at his perfectly chilled features. Could I just be the luckiest girl in the world? Maybe the does really like me. All of the fan fiction I have read has become a reality. My hopes and dreams are appearing right before my eyes.

"Hi Clara!”, he says, completely ignoring my existence. His eyes glimmer, but not at me. He looks behind, at me, and quickly turns around it look at her.

Clara looks at me, and I look back. I don’t know what she is feeling, and I don’t want to know anymore. I stand up, knots forming in my stomach, and tears swelling up my eyes. I walk away, I don’t know where to though. I am such an idiot for crying over this. Why am I crying? I walk away, holding back and using every muscle in my body to prevent myself from crying. Why am I crying?

I look back as I walk away to my next class, and see Keagan and Clara talking. Having a conversation. His eyes were full of joy.

I walk for what seemed like an hour, aimlessly. I don’t know what to do, how to feel, or what to say anymore. The bell for the next period rings loudly, echoing throughout the halls. I walk for 3 more minutes before entering my classroom before remembering what just happened, as pain stand me everywhere.

Clara is beautiful. Clara is kind. She is smart, athletic, has an amazing body, and popular with everyone. I want to tell her, “You are amazing, you are stunning, you are everything I want to be.”
