Trying isn't good enough
for anybody.


Everybody

In

The

School

Talks to the

Angels

And

When I

Was

Younger

That was

Called

Popularity.

I'm not

Popular

Because I'm

Not

The angel

That I want to

Desperately

Be.


Sakura came out of the girl's bathroom looking paler than she used to.

Her stomach was killing her every time after she purged up anything she ate.

It was nearing the end of lunch and her arm wrapped around her stomach, noticing that the other angels never did this.

Never.

Teeth clamped down on a lower lip as she shut her eyes.

Her inside muscles contracted and she fled back into the room she just walked out of, pushing open the dirty stall and she immediately fell to her knees—shakingshakingshaking—because nothing came out of her mouth except for dry heaves.

She wasn't scared though.

Nope.

Because most of the time it felt like this—like this—like feeling on the brink of death, but knowing you're not going to die, and you don't know why.

However, it hurt.

A lot.


Sasuke had been coming downstairs from the roof, tired of his fan-girls idiotically following him around

everywhere.

Walking to his locker, the boy ran his fingers through his hair taking a second to admire his clan wring that was wrapped snugly around his right thumb, and entered his combination.

The school was stupid—very stupid.

The teachers were stupid.

The girls were stupid.

Hell, his best friend was probably smarter than the girls that tried to sexually harass him.

Finally opening his locker, the raven began switching his books for the rest of the day and didn't expect to hear a choked sob, especially since the hallway was eerily quiet a few moments ago.

Sasuke walked up to the girl's bathroom door and leaned against the water-fountain by it, curious as to who was crying.

Whoever it was, they were trying to stifle it—but failed miserably and he only caught a few words that came from the bathroom near him.

It was something about angels.

The Uchiha shook his head and started walking away, slamming his locker close as he passed by it.

It's probably just another fan-girl.


My

Stomach

Hurt a lot

And when I

Started walking

Home

(can i

even call it

that?)

My insides

Felt

Like

They were trying

To be turned

Inside out

By the melted

Faces in

My room

That laughed,

Amused

At my

Unbearable

Pain.

I yelled at them

To stop

But that

Only

Got my

Father to slip in the room

With his leather belt that

Swished out of his

Jean holes.

I heard

The whoosh of

It going into

The air and

I

Bit

Back

A

Scream.

Like a good

Little angel.


The red marks stung as she struggled to pull her school uniform shirt down to hide the hideous splotches that tainted her not-so-yet angel skin.

She felt numb, she felt sososo numb—and she hated it.

Because it only feels worse when the feeling shook out of her system and is replaced by hot, searing pain.

Sakura leaned on her side and didn't move a muscle, as if she was supposed to feel better—get better.

She didn't have any energy to purge, but she thought of the tinytinytiny waist and the ringing laughter the popular girls gave that she could never really mimic.

That gave her enough of a power boost to stagger to the bathroom and shut the door.


A/N: I think I'll stop there for now. Review please, they make me happy.
