Okay, I was really happy reading your reviews. I was super happy... Until I read two specific ones.
Okay, I had enough. At first, when I saw the anonymous reviews about me on other people's stories, I ignored them. But when I saw tons of reviews about me on my own story, I felt like I needed a say in this.
Beautiful Chick and CherryHater21, Exactly why do you hate me? Let's rephrase that. Why do most of you anonymous reviewers hate me? Sure, my stories aren't as great as Inkie's, Libba's, ZO's, or other great HTR writers, but I try my best to write. It's not like I am a professional writer. I do this for fun, so don't expect me to be perfect. I have enough stress on myself already, so don't try to make me change anything or make me give up, because I'm not giving up on HTR. No matter how much insults you shoot at me, you won't get rid of me. You don't even know me, so why even bother trying to cyberbully me as an anonymous reviewer? Please consider what you do before you actually do it.

The bell rings, and it's off to lunch. Instantly, Grace and Kacey are at my side. We exit the room, and walk down the hallways. Suddenly, someone bumps into me.
"I'm so sorry- oh. It's you." I hear a man say. I look up, and see Zander Robbins, my worst enemy.
"Still holding a grudge?" I say bitterly. I guess you are wondering why we hate each other. A few years ago, I met Zander, and we chatted for a bit. We even became friends... Until my stupid brothers came into the picture. Zander and I were walking down the hallways until my stupid brothers saw us.
Some time ago...
Zander and I were walking down the hallways until my stupid brothers saw us.
"Hey! What are you doing with our sister?" Alex asks. I mentally facepalm myself.
"Walk away. Walk away." I say trying to get away from them. The last thing I need is another person thinking I'm just like those idiots.
All of a sudden, Gabe is punching Zander in the gut, and he hits the floor.
"What was that for?" Zander manages to say holding his stomach in pain.
"Stay away from him." my other brother Eric tells me. I roll my eyes. Every time I'm seen with a boy, my brothers freak out, and end up punching him in the gut. I'm not surprised a teacher didn't see this. A teacher never does. They always get away with it.
Back to the present...
Sooner or later after that, rumors were spread about Zander and me dating. People said Zander was spreading the rumors, and I confronted him about it. He said he didn't spread those rumors, I did. After a few arguments and trust issues, we ended up hating each other. So much for a new friend. I thought he would trust me, but he never did. Instead, he made up these lies saying that I spread the rumors.
"Stevie? Stevie? Uhhh... STEVIE!" someone screams. I come back into reality, and see Kacey looking at me like I grown a second head. Grace is just looking at a boy in the corner of the hallways talking to his friend. They are both wearing Furious Pidgeons T-shirts.
"Sorry. Just spaced out." I say.
"Do stupid people do this all the time?" Zander asks bitterly.
"Why don't you just beat it?" I ask.
"Says the girl who bumped into me."
"Maybe I should recall... You bumped into me." I say, and then walk away.
"Why do you hate him so much?" Grace asks me as if she was never there during the rumor spreading.
"Didn't I tell you?"
Grace takes a moment to process this.
"Grace, do you remember the rumors?" Kacey asks trying to jog her Grace's memory.
"I remember the rumors, but that was a long time ago. Why can't you just let it go and make friends with him?" Grace asks.
"Because he accused me of spreading the rumors, when he obviously knows he did it."
"How do you know he spread the rumors?"
"Because people told me they heard from Zander."
"They could be lying." Grace says. She always had theories making the enemy look like the good guy. Like turning the stepsister into an insecure woman jealous of her stepsister's beauty. Or turning the wolf into a cub that struggled to survive.
"Well, why would they lie?" I ask her.
"Hmm... I dunno, but it's possible." she says.
"Okay, can we get off this rumor topic? Stevie, you are holding a grudge with Zander for something that happened years ago. I know I would still be mad if I were you, but can you at least try to forget it?"
"Hmm... Sure. Once he apologizes." I say. Kacey rolls her eyes. I guess I was rubbing off on her.
