Leaving Paradise
“I left the cafeteria this afternoon when the popular girls did a cheer right in front of him. I could have sworn he thought the cheer was just for him.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, I heard Tristan Norris say in earth science that Caleb is going out for wrestling this year.
Not only did I lose Leah as a friend and everyone else thinks I’m a walking freak, I have no hope of joining the tennis team or playing sports ever again.
I’m chastising myself for comparing myself to Caleb as I ...ride the bus to Hampton for my first day working for Mrs. Reynolds. I just wish it was easier for me . . . or less easy for him. I realize I’m bitter, but I can’t help it. I’ve been through such pain and agony the past year, and going back to school has only emphasized what an outcast I’ve become.
I reach Mrs. Reynolds’ house and ring the doorbell. She doesn’t answer. I keep ringing, hoping nothing bad has happened to her.MoreLess
