What Makes You Different Ch. 5
A tall, thin woman with a model-like figure walks toward Theresa and Fox, accompanied by the same cheerleader Theresa ran into earlier.
Great thought Theresa sarcastically. Just when this day finally starting to get better, this happens. I swear, this girl is set out to ruin my day. What did I ever do to her?
"Hey sexy. Whatcha up to?" asked the cheerleader, who wrapped her right arm around Fox's arm and snuggled against him.
"Terry, can we talk later? I'm in the middle of something," explained Fox, trying to place some distance between them as Terry keeps moving towards him. I must admit, this girl is either very persistent or oblivious to things. Can't she see that I'm not interested in her?
"Aww...baby, if you mean you're busy because of this, this insignificant girl, then that's no excuse. She's not even worth looking at, let alone hold a conversation with. It would be a social massacre to be even seen within ten feet away from her," snickered Terry, as a large devious smile formed across her face.
Fox was speechless. Although he has said some pretty cruel things to people, he never said it to their faces unless they deserved it. That was downright mean. He just stared at Terry, wondering what made her turn out to be a ruthless snob. He then turned his attention to the other girl named April. She was almost the total opposite of her best friend Terry. While practically the entire Pacific High School considered Terry to be the spawn of Satan, April was known as the sweet, caring one. It doesn't make any sense. Maybe April's heart is too big and she believes everyone has some good in them. But the location of Terry's heart, if there even is one, must be locked up in the pits of hell. Shaking his head and laughing at the image of April searching for this nonexistent organ in the underworld brought Fox into a hysterical fit of laughter. He couldn't shake the image out of his head. Terry took this as a good sign. After all, Fox must be laughing at the oh-so-ordinary girl who was almost in tears at the reaction to her comment. This day is turning out to be better than I expected thought Terry, pleased at her demise.
Stunned beyond her belief, Theresa stood frozen. It was as she was in this weird world of horrendous people, and she was their victim. Never in all her life had she ever had someone say such mean things to her, not counting her family of course when they argued. But that was different. Who doesn't fight with their family members? This, this was different. As much as Theresa wanted to return a rude comment towards Terry, she didn't. She didn't have the heart or the courage to stand up for herself. This according to Melissa was Theresa's only real flaw. If Melissa was here, she would rip off the eyes and mouth of Terry and hang it on the flag pole at school so everyone could see Terry's humiliation. But don't get the wrong idea, Melissa's does not have a mean bone in her body. When it comes to someone making fun of her friend, then it's on. Nothing will stop her from teaching the other person a well-deserved lesson. That's what Theresa admires about Melissa. She is able to stand up for herself and other people, unlike herself. I'm such a coward. Theresa took in the sight of Terry and Fox, not noticing April who stood idly by watching the incident in horror. Moving as quickly and as quietly as she could, Theresa speed across the park until she was far enough to run faster than she ever did in her entire life, heading home in a rage of tears.
