Hello, my name is Kate Roberts. I'm a student of Kerlin County High, California. They say everyone has something they are good at, right? I tried searching for that one thing I'm good at but…I'm already 15, and I think, I'm still searching for it. I'm no good at studies, just an average student you have here, not good at sports, forget music, I only like violins, and somehow I convinced my parents to buy one for me, but whenever I play it, our neighbours complain that it seems as if someone has died when they hear me playing it. Hey, it's not that bad, is it? Learn to respect talent, old hags! So...what's left, painting? I just...just, don't know what to say. I completely destroyed the art room the last time I entered it , so now, they have banned me from the art room. Could you believe that they specially made a 'BANNED' poster with my handmade sketch as the background of that poster? RIDICULOUS! When I first saw that poster, I was like...
"Was my nose always this long? And above all, they made it crooked!!"
I tried cooking, but I almost, note that I said almost, burnt the house, and since then, I'm not allowed in there. I'm not even allowed to cut apples on my own!!
I wish I was the only child, but I have an annoying twin sister. Her name is Anna Roberts: 'The Queen'. You must be wondering, what's with that lame title, right? I thought that too, but later found out that people can literally do anything to get that title. I know something's wrong with this generation's head. She was given this title because unlike me, she is good at studies, she can dance, she can play piano, she can cook, and above all, she's pretty.
Yep! In this world, all that comes first, is looks! Don't deny that! Once a guy got jealous of another good looking guy, Alex, of class 1-B, and gave us one hour lecture about inner beauty and s**t like that, I always speak my mind, so I ended up saying "Dude, stop it! You only say that because you're not as hot as Alex!"
Man...that day, it was the first time I did a sprint from my school to house, with 24 bulls after me. And I knew, that if I stopped, I would become their prey. If you know what I mean.
Technically speaking, I'm the elder one among me and my sister, but, she always acts like she is the elder one. Jesus Christ Anna! First you stole all my talents while we were in mother's womb, now you even wanna steal my status of an elder brother? I literally said that and know what she said? "Oh puh-leez! I got the hottest boyfriend ever, while you never even had an average looking girl as your girlfriend, don't you think you've already thrown away the status of a 'big brother'?"
Okay, she's mean, and I hate her! But do you know what I hate more than Anna and Tomatoes? THAT thing is Brandon Johnson, my sister's boyfriend and the hottest guy in Kerlin County High. Why do I hate him? I don't know either, instinct maybe? But I surely know why he pisses me off.
He's not good at everything, he's the best! No matter what it is, be it studies, or sports, or music, or art, or literature, just, f**king ANYTHING!! Above all, he's tall, has slim legs and a good body, you know, abs and all. He has even got a slightly better face than the others, just slightly better, and he got the status of the 'prince' of Kerlin County High, can you believe it? All the girls are always chasing him, they don't care whether he's single or not, they just wanna flirt with him. He stands out wherever he goes, in short, he's also...quite opposite of me.
Sometimes I ask god, "Dude, at least give me something to be proud of, any talent will do!! Just SOMETHING!!! I know if you can stuff talent in asses like Brandon Johnson, then can surely give just one good talent to me so that I can shut people's mouth!
This story is hopeless, I don't know why are you even reading it?
This morning, I was getting ready for school, when my PERFECT sister came out of her room with unruly hair and mascara all over her face. I dropped my toothbrush on the ground and asked her "What's wrong? It seems like you've crawled out from hell."
She looked at me for some time as if she wanted to tell me something. By looking at her face, I could tell that yesterday evening was not very good for her, well...she did come home while running and slammed the door of her room, so I didn't meet her then, but now, as I looked at her I asked "Anna, have you being crying?"
I seemed as if I pressed some weird switch because as I said that, she started crying again and hugged me rubbing off all her mascara on my white T-shirt.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!!! HEY IS YOUR NOSE RUNNING,GROSS!!! DON'T RUB IT ON MY T-SHIRT"
When I finally pushed her away and looked at myself in the mirror, I literally looked like an alive and walking sh*t!
"Are you nuts??!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!!" I yelled.
"My boyfriend..." she finally replied, sobbing.
"Oh...please don't mention that ass first thing in the morning, I know he's the best, fine?"
"No...*sob* he...he dumped me!! He's cheating on me!!" She said and finally had a mental breakdown.
"He WHAT??!!"
Okay, now I am shocked and angry. Although my sister is irritating and pushy and mean and a total b**ch, but no guy can play with her heart!! And whoever does it...
I'LL KILL HIM!!!
I quickly took a bath, got ready, stuffed in a slice of bread for breakfast and ran towards the school. I reached school early, so I didn't see anyone in the hallways except a few members of the student council and the janitor. I thought he might have not come to the school this early, but surprisingly enough, he was there.
And luckily there was no one else inside the class except him, makes things easier as there will be no witnesses if I lose it and beat him up. Which was a possibility as he was an ass.
"HEY!!" I shouted as I entered his classroom. He was applying lip balm. He heard me shout at him and turned towards me. "Were you the one who made my little sister cry?" I said.
"Well..." he said. It was expected that he would have a deep voice. Obviously he's Mr. PERFECT 'prince'. But it was the first time I talked to him, but nevertheless, I was really angry at him.
He closed the lip balm and said "You mean Anna Roberts in class 1-C, right? I heard you're twins." then smiled like he always does in front of those stupid girls and said "You two don't look similar."
That was it! I'd get that a lot! I'm sorry that my sister is a hottie while I'm just ugly!!! I finally lost it, I went to his seat and slammed my hand on his table "Remember." I said "You can joke around with any girl, but if you're dating my sister, you mustn't cheat on her!"
He chuckled as he looked down and then he raised his head and said "So you're the one...who can take women as your toys, right?"
Was he making fun of me? Okay, now I'm done!!
I grabbed him by his collar and picked him up from his seat, when he stood up, I noticed that he was taller than me, but I didn't care!! All I knew was, he was an ass! Then I said
"You've got a sharp tongue!"
He smiled and slightly tilted his head and moved closer to me "Not only my tongue...but I'm serious with everything." he said as he got more and more closer to me. I felt an uneasiness, I had never been this close to anyone so I slowly started moving back. But as I moved back, he started moving towards me pushing away all the other seats which came in the way.
"Do you want to know...what I told your sister?" he said when I stopped at the class cupboard as there was nowhere further to go. He finally slammed me against the class cupboard. I couldn't face him anymore so I looked towards the window. Then I thought it might look weird if I kept looking at the window so I started looking here and there, literally everywhere except his eyes.
"I said to her..." he said while looking into my eyes. Our eyes finally met again.
"...You'd better give up on me, I don't like you." he said and then he brought his lips super close to my lips, and I literally froze there, unable to do anything but listen to him. He then whispered "I like your brother more than you". I tried averting my eyes but it was hopeless. He moved a little away but continued looking at my lips. Then he shook his head "Why don't you take good care of yourself, look your lips are chapped." he said while rubbing his long and bony fingers on my lips. I became embarrassed and looked at the floor.
Then, he took out the same lip balm he was using before and pressed it gently on my lips. He came close again, closed his eyes and sniffed my lips as he was applying the lip balm on them.
He kept the lip balm in my pocket and picked up his sports bag. He walked outside the class, then he stopped and turned back to look at me. I was still speechless, then he said "Oh right, don't forget to use it regularly, baby."
"Use it in order to know, what my lips smell and taste like." he smiled as he said this and left the class.
I stood there like an idiot for five minutes and then slowly moved towards my class.
...He was joking, right.…
....It was his way to prevent a fight...
...R-Right? There's no way the first confession of my life is gonna be from a guy.…

'WHAT WERE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT!!!' I said to myself as I kicked the wall.
I can't get it! Why didn't I push that jerk away the moment he tried something funny?? It's as if I was under a spell, is he a wizard? Did he do some kind of magic on me that I just stared at him like an idiot?
Hey God! It's okay if I'm born talent less.
It's okay if I'm not born with a handsome face.
but IT'S NOT OKAY IF I AM HARASSED BY A GUY!!!!!
Have I just ignited an annoying fire in my shi**y life??
I'M NOT GAY! I LIKE GIRLS! GET ME A GIRLFRIEND NOT A BOYFRIEND!
