His words revolved around me like some stars and I was feeling dizzy, why didn't she ever mention that? I wanted to confront her now, but it seems like Loren has something in mind. Everything is turning upside down and I feel frustrated.

"You can't believe your ears? She is my sister. And I will always be an ass to her because she reminds me so much of you. Now, now boys let's have a joke with her."

"Wait, what are you going to do?" my sound felt uncomfortably girly and weak, he was enjoying my feeble mind. 

"Quit it, Loren, want a piece of me?"

"Alex...how good of us to meet again."

"Wait, you know him?" I once again sounded too girly and I hated that.

"Angela, we will talk later, now go." 

"The boyfriend comes to the rescue, how sweet right boys?"

"Loren, do you want me to say a little secret about how you got that scar on your face and how you became this mean guy?"

"Guys, leave...and her"

"What'cha mate?" that guy had an ugly rasping voice with a thick accent, definitely not from here and I was beyond intimidated by his crooked teeth and dark eyes.

"Nothing, now leave..." I heard a little bit of vacuity in his voice.

By now the little group was distant to me and I couldn't help but wonder what might that be, how Alex knew Loren, and what was Tobias going to do if Alex didn't come to help me. With that sick thought, shivers and goosebumps explored my body giving me tickles everywhere. I felt something prick my eyes and I was scared to let it fall out. These gems are only allowed to shed at night, to my pillow, no one else should see it, no one else have the right to watch my pain.

"Hey, you..."

It was Alex and I thought of sprinting away, but I knew I would only meet a few yards and then I would be on my knees, but it is worth a try. I acted like adjusting my iPod headphones and ran away. Who was I kidding...? Alex was an athlete and football player on the school team. He was there seconds later by my side.

"Hi, want to join you fatty."

I pretended like I never heard him and now I was jogging back to where I came from and he too was running in the same direction. He pulled my earphone and smiled sheepishly.

"I said I would like to join you and believe me, for a girl so fat like you...you run pretty cool."

"Oh really, high time that you notice, thank you very much."

"Come on, I like taunting you...nothing personal fatty." 

"Look scumbag, you either jog away or shut up by my side, I love to jog to nature's whisper than your cacophonous voice."

"Ouch, that was an insult; many girls drool over my voice by saying it is the sexiest."

"Really, well then do let them sail their ship and not mine."

"I should have befriended you, and not made fun of you in the beginning. I am sorry. I am not this jerk you know. I liked you and that's why I picked on you."

"What am I hearing; the charming scumbag is apologizing now. What the heck, man, you like this? You like making fun of me?"

"No, I don't...it's just you are cute and hot when you are mad, some dangerous mix that makes any guy go head over heels in love if only they looked at you properly. I have never seen a girl this original before."

I was dead in my tracks and stared at the perfect silhouette of my brown danger running away. What he said was jingle bells to me. I know I looked good but never expected something like this. Only one way to find out, go and say hi to him in front of everyone if he means what he said, he would smile and if he is making fun of me, he would mock me then and there.

I still had ten minutes and I thought to pay a visit to Jack and tell him what happened. I should at least show him that I care. And then I will have much time to shower, dress and drive to school. Walking in my sweaty clothes, I saw the gym and saw Jack talking to a gorgeous girl. She had the perfect body and that dress she wore was so simple yet making her look like a superstar.

"Hey Angela...come here, I want you to meet Jasmine."

Oh, this is her, Jasmine; my heart skipped a beat to her beautiful smile. She wasn't wearing any makeup and still looked fresh and stunning.

"Hi Angela, Jack told me about you. Girl...you are so dead gorgeous, shed some weight and I will cross my arms you to modeling, you might not need that stupid auditioning. You should know that you look too good." She said that with a genuine smile and I melted into her hospitality and behavior. I meekly said a thank you to which she laughed and replied a charming welcome. Uff, this girl is awesome.

"You have sweated out I see." Thank you, Jack, for breaking my embarrassing thoughts

"Oh, I always..."

"I got to go, sorry I interrupted you but I am going to be so late. Bye, I will text you, Angela."

"I gave her your number so you could be friends and she was so cool with it. She is a good person." I never got a chance to reply to something stunning occurred.

"You are so in love with her Jack, hey fatty."

My voice was stuck and I couldn't frame a sentence. No wonder why Alex seemed familiar, he was similar to Jack. I reckon he was his brother.

"How many times have I told you not to tease a fat person? You had made enough bruises from mom to have mocked me when we were young. You are so grounded little brother."

"You brother...ah, I see." Was all that I could mutter Alex looked at me with something in his eyes? Damn, I should get out of here. "Ah, I am going to be later for classes. I will be around Jack."

"Yes, come back tomorrow a little early, so that you can work with Jasmine."

"I can coach her." Alex made an innocent smile and I knew it was a danger, no matter how much I tried not to fall in love, the crush thing would crush my heart and then that means another pillow drenched and needing dry cleaning. No, I can't afford that.

"Oh, no... I...donot need a coach, no offense, but, I think I will work with Jasmine."

With a smile to both of them, I walked away to my apartment and I mentally calculated that I was going to be late. I drove as fast as I can and I could feel my hair dripping wet, but by the time I reached my class, the air seemed to have dried my hair for me plus it looks frizzy... and that's what I preferred, natural dryer than blow dry but I should apply some conditioner or something. I hastily picked a button down navy blue frilled shirt and light blue jeans with beige boots and a shawl around my neck and finished it off with my favorite jean jacket as my apparel today and I was quite happy about it.

"She looks nice." I heard someone whisper and that only increased my confidence, yes, the flaps under my jeans gave me a hard time to concentrate on the good comments, but, I feel good today.

"Oh someone looks like an ocean today, with that jeans Jacket and navy blue shirt and jeans, you look like a giant walking ocean. Haha that would have looked awesome on anyone else and I would have said it was a fashion statement, but no offense you look like a walking ocean to me fatty."

"I love ocean Darla, so I thank you for that cool compliment. But to me you look like a clown and a mess with that neon legging and not so matching leather boots with this top, what are these doing anyway and seriously a hairy orange fur coat? And you think you are a walking Victoria Secret model? Well, fan me, I am going to faint."

"She knows fashion...oh my, who thought that about a fat girl." I heard another encouraging comment through whispers and I wonder why they have to say that to another's ears and not openly comment straight to me. It's like they fear their own voice.

I walked straight to my lockers and saw Annie waiting for me, suddenly I remember Loren and I felt like ignoring her, but it was she who brought me, friends.

"Hi Angela, how are you?"

"Cool... you should have told me that wacko Den was your brother." She looked like she saw a ghost and her face was so pale that I feared she might faint.

"I... I tried to tell you on the day we met, but...I was shut by that imbecile, Darla. He is mean and picky to me and you and so, I don't want any relation to keeping with him. He said I remind him of you, and that you were a mean girl to knock him off."

"That was years ago and that..."

"Please, he is a stubborn picky brother, if he chose you, he would have loved you."

"Duh...it was like when I was around five and you expect me to go say I love you too?"

"No...but," the bell rang and we scurried towards our classroom; planning to meet in the cafeteria.

As soon as the bell rang, I walked toward the café and bought myself a cheeseburger and coke. Scanning the area I saw Tina, Miley, and Annie already seated with their food. I walked toward them and they almost screeched seeing me in this dress.

"Angela, if you had been size 5, you could have been walking the ramp girl."

"Tina, please... so...how was your classes?"

"Angel, you are not mad at me right?"

"No, don't worry."

I could see the stunned faces of all three and serious munching from my side. When I noticed that their face didn't change from the shocked amused look, I turned around to see Alex, my brown danger in a sexy black shirt with black jeans and sneakers. His biceps flexed and his chin sculptured with a beautiful smile. He was looking at me and said: "Would you love to come with me to...umm, have coffee...umm, and to make up for what I did to you and said to you?"

"I...umm..." I didn't have to continue as I was forcibly shut by a girl.

"No!!!... How can you Alex?" I saw a dark headed Barbie walking to him with a fierce face.

"How can I what, Amber?"

"I can't believe this."

"What's wrong with her?" A few of my friends murmured. 

"Alex...I am sorry, but, I can't come with you, I promised to help Annie with her calculus paper this evening." I said.

"Oh-kay, sure, we will do it next time. Amber, we have nothing to talk about."

I could feel the glare in everyone's eyes and especially my friends. They all talked at the same time that I was continuously laughing. "I can't understand a thing."

"You are a stupid Angelina." With that, they all walked away with their trays in hand, leaving me alone. Good, just the thing I need.
