They're laughing again.
I pretend not to hear, but there's no denying that their harsh words and nonstop jokes were meant for me. Everyday I look in the mirror and ask myself, what is wrong with me? Am I not likeable? Why do they keep on doing rude things to me? What?
The answer is simple.
I, Veruca Albano, am a geek. Geeky Veruca. Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
It's a way of life, it's just how things are. I have a loving family - my dad's a stock broker, my mom's a writer for the local paper, and my younger brother David's an angel - I have excellent grades, I have a good set of friends, and I feel contented. I'm nice and kind, and certainly have not done any harm to my peers. I may be naïve in some ways, but the bottomline is I am nice.
Of course in junior high, snobbies rule and nice = geek.
Labels.. don't we always get these? Take Hillridge Junior High for example: Kate, snobby cheerleader; Gordo - social outcast; Miranda - rebel chick; Claire - Kate's equally snobby friend; Ethan - dumb jock; Parker - weird freak; and Larry's just like me - heck, they even called me the Female Larry - a geek.
And then there's Lizzie. Ditzy Lizzie.
I heard her several times call herself a "loser". I'd rather call her dumb. Really, this girl doesn't know how good she has it. She has a good family, has good grades, has nice friends. Of course, she's totally oblivious to the fact that Gordo likes her as more than a friend, which makes me want to beat the pulp out of her.
Hey, maybe I will.
In fact, I think it's time for a little pay back. Geeky little Veruca Albano's going to stand up to all these people. Only, I'm going to make sure they won't be able to stand up and fight back.
Maybe.
