• I went to bed as soon as everyone left. I didn't go to sleep. I was waiting for Jack, but as the time went by, he didn't come. I looked at the clock. It was 10:00 pm. He should have been here by now. I sighed. Even if he came, it'd be too late to go places. I rolled around in bed, until I stopped waiting. It's been an hour already. I still couldn't sleep. I began to forget the idea of him coming back. It was 12:30 already! I got out of my bed, and walked towards my window. I looked out, but I still didn't see him. I went back to my bed. I was disappointed, tired, and angry that night. I stopped thinking for a moment to let my mind rest, and then my eyes slowly closed. I fell asleep.

    That morning, I woke up, happy. No party today, but I had to go to school. I got cleaned up, and put on some of my regular clothes. A T-shirt and jeans was all I wore. I also wore a brown wig to hide my black hair color. I grabbed my backpack, and ran downstairs. As I got to the throne, kissed my father and mother goodbye and left out the back door. I always walked to school to not cause attraction from my cars. I went to Sakura High School. They named it Sakura because of all the cherry blossom trees. The place would be beautified with cherry blossoms every year. That was why I went there. I was a sophomore, and it was the beginning of spring. As I walked towards the school, a lot of tall, bulky, boys were going towards me.

    Bullies. I've never had to go through bullies until I started high school. I knew how to deal with them during the years though, and every boy was afraid of me ever since I started Judo. Apparently, these guys must have been new seniors. As one of them tried to grab a hold of my backpack for extra cash, I grabbed his arm and flipped him. It was three to one now. I didn't want to deal with them, so I grabbed my backpack from the ground and walked away. They acted brave, but I could see the fear in their eyes. I walked to school with no trouble.

    I didn't have friends because I knew that one of these days, they would want to come over for a party or sleepover. I always had to be careful. Whether it was my wig, my way of seeing things, or my personal things like my backpack for instance. I had a journal in there because my mom said that it was good for me to write my thoughts in there. I did write stuff, but it was things like gossip, fights, and teachers. I always had a thought on everyone. Whether it was good, bad, or just plain horrible. I hated myself for that, but I couldn't help it. It did help me to let it all out in my journal, but I was always afraid of people finding it. My life would be ruined. I hung out at an empty ally in between two buildings that no one would know about except for me everyday before and after school. It had a little pretty sakura tree that I loved deeply. As I sat there, I would always see girls giggling and gossiping, and how I wanted to be like them so bad. I did have a few crushes, but they all had girlfriends, of course. The bell rang, and I rushed to class.

    I was very smart because I had nothing to bother me from work. In class, I sat alone in the back. No one would even know that I went to this school. Not even the teachers. During class, no one would even look at me. "Kim! Answer this question for the class please," the teacher said. I stood up to see the board. I answered in correctly, but no one noticed. They didn't even glance at me. Not even my teacher. She was writing on the board the whole time. I sometimes wondered what would happen if I told my secret. Would they notice me more often, but then the thought of them using me came back all the time. Oh how deeply I wanted to tell my secret to the school, but I had to be smart and not reckless. All the other classes were all the same, no one saw me.
