The Nerdy Girl
Have you ever been called a name by the kids at school? Die nerdy girl was painted on my locker room at my old school in bright red lipstick.The whole sticks and stones thing were lies. Words can hurt you and they do.My twin brother, Tyson is the golden boy with the rocket arm. He will go places they say with an arm like that. My parents feel that way. His adoring fans. His friends. He’s popular while I am not.Until we go to our new school where I meet Cal, tight end for the same team that my brother is now quarterback. Cal is the boy every girl dreams of dating.Why me?Why did he choose me?He says I’m sweet.He loves my beautiful, blue eyes.He likes that I’m different.All those things will lead up to me being bullied at my new school because being different isn’t likable by the popular group. Being different will almost cost me my life.What will save me though is Cal’s love. In the end, the days of hearing his voice will bring me back to those I love.
