I hurry into the dance studio to hear Abby bellowing commands at us like we're cattle.
"Kenzie, you're on the bottom, those feet are like bananas past their sell by date, they're limp, you need to get some strength!"
Kenzie looks sideways at me with a glare, and I feel myself turning red with knowing that Kenzie never gets to feel good about anything she achieves, even if I failed at it! Everybody's always been like that, I think to myself.
Flashback:
I walk into school slowly and I groan as I feel the weight of my school bag on my back.
In the bag were my gym clothes, make up, and god knows what else!
"Arghh!" I exclaim loudly and slam my bag down on my desk.
"Watch that ugly, that sound is all we need from you today, if that, quite frankly that was more than enough!"
I turn around and see Gino's smiling face, I don't want to like him, but what can I say? I enjoy boys that hurt me I guess? I mean I don't enjoy it but...I don't care enough about myself to stop it.
" Stop pushing me Gino, I swear to God don't make me hurt you!"
" Whoa, what's got you all twisted up? Wait, I know, it's the test results that'll come today right? I know you failed MISERABLY, what would your dear mom think of her STAR now!"
"Shut up!, Shut up!"
"You wouldn't be so annoyed if you didn't think I was right... I know you too well Bucky!"
"Don't call me that, and you don't know me at all! You're arrogant!"
I bite my lip as I see Kenzie walk into Class with her friends, Kenzie's only in my class because she's so smart, she was moved up! Just my luck. I can't show my little sister my rubbish results when hers will be so perfect. I can't show anyone.
As my teacher hands me my results with a look of disgust on her face, I quickly hide the paper under the desk on my lap.
Gino leans sideways on his chair and glares at me.
"Let me take a look then!"
I refuse and Gino slips his hand on my lap, pulling at my skirt until I hand him the paper, wanting to stop his hands from grabbing at me.
Before I knew it Gino had taken my results paper and captured it in a flash on his phone. He chucks it back to me and smiles sadistically. I can see Kenzie looking at me, knowing that she saw him with the results. Knowing that I allowed him to see my grades and not her.
After the bell rings, Kenzie is out of the classroom in a flash and I hurry to keep up with her. I move to leave but Gino puts his hand out to stop me.
"Look I'm sorry that I grabbed your results off of you, it just annoys me that you wouldn't show me. I thought we were friends,maybe even more than that Maddie!"
"Just leave me alone, we stopped being friends when you started BULLYING me!"
"Oh yeah? Why don't I just tell your little sis all about these bad results, why don't I tell your mom? Abby? I can you know."
"That's blackmail!"
"No it's not. We're friends. I'm going to keep this a secret for you, because I love you. Can we kiss?"
"No!"
"Come on it's not like it would be the first time we kissed! Or do you want me to show everybody your low grades?"
I bite my lip again, but I know that I have no choice. I want to be perfect in my family's eyes!
"Okay" I whisper, and Gino leans in to gently massage his tongue with mine in a kiss that I instantly regretted. I'm not a slut, and my baby sister can never know about this. Neither can my Mom or anybody!
Gino leaves and I stand with my head pressed against the wall. I turn to walk out of the classroom to find Kenzie in the doorway. She must have seen Gino leave, she must have seen everything.
What could Kenzie think of me, just kissing Gino? She doesn't know about my test results results... That he blackmailed me into the kiss!
"Kenzie, wait!" I exclaim.
But Kenzie was already half way to the car.
I sigh and run out to Mom too, knowing that we have to make it to dance class.
End flashback.
I feel guilty knowing that Kenzie thinks I have it all, good grades and fame. Though Kenzie knows that she's better academically than me. But I never show her my tests, my Mom and Kenzie assume that I'm brilliant at everything. Everyone does. That's why I could never allow the blackmailed kiss or my bad grades out. I shudder S I realise that Gino has total control over me.
Ding!
I look at my phone and a message from Gino reads "Look outside Mad?I've got a surprise 4 u! ? ?"
I hurriedly text back.
"What is it?"
"Go see ? you'll like it I promise? ゚ムᆵ"
"Okay."
I reply back and slowly make my way outside.
