Hey hey! New story. I hope you all enjoy it. That's really all I can for now. Again, enjoy.
-Trina's point of view-
Okay, so what if I act superior to my younger sister? Besides, I am older, therefore, I have more authority. At least, that what I have to tell myself every day. And today is was no different. I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth when Tori walked in. I could hear her complaining about me taking forever in the bathroom. Not like we have more or anything.
"Trina! Hurry up! I need to take a shower." She was whining and rapidly knocking on the door.
I stopped brushing to answer "My teeth gotta be clean! Boys will be flocking over me today, I know it." I continued to brush, and spat.
"Yeah, no matter how clean your teeth are, no one will want to kiss you." Ouch.
The pain returned. I would never tell anyone, but personally, I hated to be insulted. Growing up, I was always talented, but Tori would always out shine me. My parents paid more attention to her than they ever did to me. It came to the point where they were pretty much degrading me for trying to be noticed. That's the whole reason I auditioned for Hollywood Art's in the first place. It gave me something Tori didn't have. I thought my parents would see I have talent and maybe they would at least give some recognition. It didn't work though. The same time I got in, Tori won some award in school. Outshined again. I pushed and pushed for them to take notice of my talent. That never happened, so I just gave up. It wasn't worth it so I gave up. Tori won. I was the untalented one and she was the rising star.
But, it's not like I hate my sister. No, I couldn't. She means a lot to me, I just don't like being put down. Okay, it's a secret I never told anyone, but I knew I was allergic to the Chinese herb gargle. I saw how Andre and Tori looked at me when I sang and how I dressed. It was all part of the plan. Tori didn't belong at that normal public school. Her talent was extreme and amazing. No one could see the full existent of it, not even Tori. She would never perform unless forced to.
I learned to put myself down, I got used to it. I don't like it, and that's why I act the way I do.
When I finished with my teeth, I opened the door and gave a look of annoyance to Tori. "All done." I walked off without another word. I was all ready for school, but I had to wait for Tori, so I went downstairs to lay on the couch. I started singing, and my dad walked by and rolled his eyes.
"Trina what are you doing?"
"Singing." I smiled, but it faded. "Don't you like it? Isnt it better than Tori."
He opened his mouth and didn't speak at first. When he did, all he said was "No" and walked off. Nothing else was expected.
I took my phone from my pocket and started playing music for the next twenty minutes until Tori came downstairs. "Come on Trina." She went to the door and left me behind. Taking my keys, I walked to my car. We went into the car, and silently took our five minute drive to school. "Trina drive slower, you're going to kill us!"
I ignored her and drove quicker, and sloppier. Not like I was going to crash or anything.
When we got to school, Tori rushed out of the car and into the building yelling "I'm free! I'm free!"
I took my time to walk in. Not like I needed to be anywhere soon. Lane greeted me at the door. "Trina, I need to talk to you." Great, not good. There was nothing I had to say, so he pulled me to his office and spoke. "Trina, your play, 'The Winner' can't be put on here. It has no real talent or anything really worth putting on in it."
Failure. No talent. You don't deserve this school. Words from many students rang through my head. I didn't stay long in Lane's office. It has no real talent or anything really worth putting on in it. I resent that, but I had no power over that. I stormed through the hallways and bumped into Cat.
She looked at me in shock and squeaked. "Sorry Trina. Are you okay?" Cat looked sad all of the sudden. "You look upset."
I ignored the red haired girl and kept walking. I was too angry to talk to the perky short girl. Making my way to the English room, I threw my backpack on the ground and moaned. "So upset." Rolling my eyes, I looked around. My mind drifted and started thinking…
Trina stop. Trina stop singing. Just promise you move away for college. I don't care what you do, just don't sing. How did you even get in this school?
People normally didn't like anything I did, but at least they knew who I was. Better than being the girl that no one remembers, right? Even if it costs me friends. No one likes you. Oh that's my favorite. Jade West. The meanest girl in school. She said that to me a lot. So I drag her friend everywhere just to annoy her. Besides, Cat doesn't ever seem to mind. She keeps good company too. The red haired girl never complained or talked bad about me. It wasn't in her nature I guess. I guess, even though we weren't that close, Cat was the closest I had to a friend.
"Trina." Speaking of the shorty. Cat was sitting next to me with her wide brown eyes staring at me. "Are you sure you're okay? What happened?"
I sighed. No one else was in the classroom, so I might as well be nice. "My play idea was turned down. It was really good too! I swear!"
Cat looked down. "Oh… What's it about?" She smiled, and I could tell she was very interested.
Maybe I have one friend…
Why would anyone want to be your friend?
