Looks can be deceiving

elicity Court was the popular girl in school. Everyone loved her everyone envied her. The only person who didn't was I. It was so annoying how she had her hair just perfect in a matter of minutes how her make up was always gorgeous. Yet I wanted to be her so bad. She was also class president and very intelligent. Now for my self I have to say I'm average in everything. I'm not stupid, and I'm not ugly. Being average is so boring all the time. You're never better at anything, and you're never worse at anything. You just kind of hover in between everyone. The in between person never gets noticed either. There never so stupid that people just have to gawk and you're never so beautiful that people have to gawk.

April 17,2000 Felicity and me were assigned partners for a project. Felicity told me to come to her house after school to work on it, I said fine. When I got to her house I thought it would be perfect just like her. Beautiful, tall and colorful. However it was like mine. Average. When I entered the house I figured the inside has to be beautiful. Once again, no. I was so shocked! How could someone as perfect as Felicity have such and average home?

Later on that night when we were working on our assignment her father came home. He was strong looking and handsome. This was no shock. Nevertheless, 10 minutes after he got home he started screaming at felicity. He came running up the stairs; I hid under the covers. I was scared! When he got in her room he started beating her. I was screaming "STOP IT STOP IT!" after her dad went out again she started crying. She said she wouldn't let her dad see her cry. I told her to report him. She said she couldn't it was all the family she had. So I went home I was to shocken up to stay.

Now when I see felicity at school she gives me a smile and says that I was a nice person. I think she only does that so I won't tell people about her home life. The only reason we went to her house was because her friends were around and she wanted to act cool. She didn't want them to think she was a loser. I have new respect for Felicity Court.
