Chapter 3 - Prom and pain

Life did not get better neither did school. When I got to school everyone kept on mocking me but the worst part was that Ellie was totally ignoring me at school, but at home acted like the best cousin - Can you believe her all this nonsense happened because I did not want to betray her and this is how she repays me.

From that day henceforth, I completely ignored her and ended all my friendship with everyone. I was now a certified loner. I tried to convince my parents to my school but instead they gave me a long boring speech on how I shouldn't run away from my problems -That was their way of saying no.

Prom was coming up in 2days time and I didn't have any plans on going but my mom gave me the same long boring speech so I didn't have a choice. Ellie apologized for not supporting me all those times and promised to change. She even promised to take me shopping and we would wear the same brand of clothes. I totally forgot why I was angry and accepted her offer and that was one of the biggest mistake I had ever made.

We both designer dresses and when we entered the hall, no one could take their eyes off us. It was like everyone forgot who I was and I felt like my life was back to normal. I was genuinely happy after a long time, until Kylie and her disciples arrived. Kylie approach me and gathered a crowd, she claimed that the dress I was swearing was a fake. The hall became silent as she uttered those words .I quickly laughed at her stupidity because I knew it was not a fake and that she couldn't tell the difference between a fake and an original.

But to my surprise every one seemed to believe her. I explain that the dress was an original stating some ways to differentiate between a fake and an original. But no one believed me, I told them to ask Ellie because we went shopping together. All eyes were now on Ellie. Ellie instantly became the best liar I knew. She denied ever shopping with me or hanging out with me claiming that though we are cousins we don't actually talk. I was mesmerized by her statement and confused why she lied. I asked her she lied but she just shoved me and walked with Kylie and some mean girls, muttering some words in my ears

"You've already ruined my life enough so just fuck off".

Her words left an unpleasant feeling in my stomach -What the heck was wrong with her, she was suddenly friends with Kylie. But that wasn't all, the drama just started. Madeleine, came from no where and pushed me real hard causing me to fall. I was so feeling so mean emotions in me and just sat on fall crying like crazy. Then Davis walked up to me and stretched out his arms to help up. I was hesitant at first but eventually took his hands thinking that there was nothing left to lose.

Immediately, I touched his hands about to grab it, he let go and I came crashing down to to table of snacks laid out. I noticed that everyone was taking pics of me and laughing. I felt too embarrassed and ran out it tears.

I knew if I told my parents what happy they'll just remind me of the same speech. I didn't leave my room since I returned home. The next day wasn't school so I didn't bother leaving my room. I felt so gloomy and decided to watch some MSA videos on YouTube when I saw a video of me and all the revenge pranks Kylie, Madeleine and Davis pulled on me.

People were writing nasty comments like;

" How stupid can she be to kiss a trash can, it was so obvious it was a prank" ," He purposely let her fall and she still thought he was her prince charming", "Once bitten, twice shy doesn't apply for her" and lots more awful comments. I literally became depressed and didn't even leave my room or eat. I later realised that my exams were around the corners and tried to focus on them and get good grades like usually.
