TEEN MODE – AN UGLY BETTY FANFIC
I do not own Ugly Betty
Justin slammed his bedroom door shut and flung himself onto his bed. It had been a bad day at school. His best friend, Hilary, had left the school for good last week, and he had had to sit by himself at lunch. His other friends apparently had only pretended to like him, because Hilary had made them. He felt almost as bad as when his dad had died, and that had been terrible. He wished he could be like all the other kids at school, but he just didn't fit in, no matter how hard he tried. Whatever he did, he'd always be different. But that had been OK, because he had Hilary, and she was there for him, and cared about him. But she was in California, now.
"Justin?"
"Just go away, Mom!" He regretted it as soon as he said it - it wasn't her fault Hilary had left, or that he was so different - but she'd never understand - she'd been popular at school. She had never felt like an outcast.
"Are you OK?"
"What does it look like?"
"Of course you're not . Oh, Justin." She wrapped her arms around him. He didn't normally let her hold him like this, but right now he needed her.
"I miss her already"
"I know"
They sat there, for a few minutes.
"OK?"
"Yeah." Justin sniffed. Hilda squeezed his hand tightly, and left, closing the door softly behind her. A single tear fell on to Justin's cheek.
