[Chapter 2]
As I reach my locker, panting I upon it up and feel something. It’s a letter!
Huh! My eyes open up in shock. I’ve never once received a letter in school before. I look around: everyone else is still in class, so I don’t have to worry about being assaulted yet. However, still pessimistic, I grab hold of the letter and tear it open.
My eyes open up in shock.
“It’s, it’s a love letter?!”
Im so shocked right now I can’t even find the words to describe my emotions. I’ve never had a declaration of love said towards me so I have no idea to react. However despite all this, I am not happy. Surely it must be a trick! No way would someone declare love to me. As I grimace and turn towards the bin, I notice something its handwriting is very similar to one of my only friend in this school.
Anna. The other goddess to oppose Amber. She is on the peak of appearance and intelligence and therefore a role model for all of those. Despite all her love confessions, she’s denied all of them. She is a few inches taller than me, but is almost the opposite of Amber. She is more mature, physically, especially around the chest area. Her face is well defined; that of a young woman. Her eyes are sharp and vigilant, yet have a humble blue. Her mouth is petite and strangely attractive. She is quite pale, probably from a British Heritage. She has long black flowing hair that curl towards the end. And she is the only one that is nice to me at this school. She would always greet me, or help me with my homework despite me saying no. She addresses me kindly and has even repelled bullies before. For the first time in what has seemed eternity, a small flicker of light appears in my mind and a small widens across my face.

Oh and she is gifted with a rank B ability at birth! She can see through walls. Whether she wants to see people, or objects she can do it. As I slowly turn to put it into my bag, I feel a hand quickly grab mine and snatch the letter out of it. I gasp as I try to grab it back, but I am thrown roughly into a wall of lockers at the end of the room. As I open my eyes I am shocked to see it is.
“Anna?!” I am surprised. What the hell? How was I so easily thrown by a girl who must be half of my weight?
She smiles wickedly and speaks with a harsh voice, “What the fuck do you think you
were doing with my letter?”
“W-what? I don’t understand? You- you put it in my locker, Anna?” I respond.
“Don’t speak of my name so casually you weirdo! I meant to put it into Richard’s locker.”
“Richard’s?” Then I realise, his is right next to mine. I slowly stand up and my eyes droop. Of course it was fucking Richard, not me.
The year above us, he’s one of the most attractive and appealing boys. Tall and popular, with blonde hair that fringes over his forehead. Deep blue eyes just like Anna’s. I knew it was too good to be true.
Depression, slowly taking over me, I respond, “But Anna why are you being so harsh. I-Im sorry for making a mistake”
As I am talking I realise that my legs are shivering. Im scared?! Of a girl? God Im fucking pathetic.
“Why am I harsh? God you have got to be kidding me!” Her eyes are no longer the radiant blue but now darkening, her sneer spreading across her frowning face.

She continues, “Do you honestly think, I’d talk to some hunch back like you?! Haha! Think about it. When was the only place I’d talk to you?”
I think about it now.
“The lo-“
“Shut up!” She shouts and reflexively, I cower.
“I always talk to you when you’re at your locker when you’re near Richard! You serve as a perfect excuse to get closer to him!”
I shudder. “So, so? Our friendship? It meant nothing? It-“
She interrupts me, “Pfff! Our friendship! It-“She stops and she turns around. Suddenly she threw herself on the floor whilst ripping up the letter.
I look at her in surprise. “What are you-“I begin to say but I stop as I see Richard turn the corner facing me above Anna looking angry whilst she is on the floor cowering.
She screams.
‘It looks like I’ve attacked her, doesn’t it?’ I almost laugh at the irony of the situation.
