And all the kids in the class started giggling. I could feel my face turning so red. I just wanted to sit and shrink. When class dismissed people went into groups. I could hear them whispering, “ She’s so bad at math.Omg she’s so far off, did she even hear the question?” I felt so horrible that they actually judging me like this. I just wanted to crawl up into a ball and disappear forever. I began to question other things about myself.What if they think i’m overweight? What if they think i walk weird? What if they think my hair’s not right ?What if they think i think weird? That night when i went home , i was thinking to myself i don’t want to be seen ,I want to be invisible for the rest of my life. The next day when i went to school ,my hair was in my face.I wore a really big baggy sweatshirt and long pants so my entire body was covered. I walked down the halls trying to be unnoticed. Sorta like a shadow,nobody would see me , nobody would notice me , nobody could judge me. And i heard a little bit of murmuring like “Oh wow she’s completely covered up.”And then it stopped and they ignored me and that’s what i wanted. But i still felt bad. I heard voices in my head saying “ You are not good at math , you’re stupid, you’re never gonna amount to anything.” And i try to push those voices so far away in the back of my head and ball them up into a little ball and stuff them way back where i couldn’t hear them.But it wasn’t working. They still seeped back in little cracks and echoed around the walls of my head.One day at recess two girls were walking by and they were laughing at a joke one of then had told.One of the girls just burst out laughing so hard and she started snorting and she covered her mouth. And they both looked at each other and then they burst out laughing and kept walking.That’s when something clicked in my head.She didn’t judge the girl for her laugh.Maybe they won’t judge me if i show myself.So when i went home that day and looked in the mirror,i told myself “tomorrow you are going to be who you are, you’re going to be happy with yourself.” The next day when i went into school i saw a group of girls talking over by the swings and i went over to them. And i remember saying in a very friendly voice “Hi”, and it was quiet and i thought to myself, oh my gosh they’re judging me and deciding,they’re gonna reject me . Then one of the girls smiled at me and she started a very nice conversation and it felt so good that they had lied who i was. Ofc there were some girls when i came up to them they judged me and didn’t like me.But i thought to myself they’re probably judging themselves like i did but trying to hide it. I said to myself “you are not gonna be like this anymore, you are gonna be you.”

And I was worried to go to sleepaway camp because I have never been before. It made me feel better that I was going with him. The first day I was there he got there little bit late and I was waiting for him because i didn’t really know nobody. When he got there I was really excited so I went over to him and I said hi and he said oh hey in a really tired like voice. Oh I thought maybe he’s just tired. When we went into a REC room and went over to the pingpong tables. He seemed so much more animated when he was talking to somebody who wasn’t me. It went from Oh hey to OH HEY. I kinda felt left out. Later we were all sitting in a circle choosing our activities. Before the camp we had both decided we were gonna do BB gun shooting when I got home I said BB gun shooting. When they got to me i said BB gun shooting, and they got to him and he said sailing, and I was like wait what. I feel like he did that because he didn’t wanna hang out with me that made me kind of sad. The next day he was eating breakfast with guys that a full table and I went over to sit down and i was like “is this seat taken” and literally literally he didn’t even answer me. Literally he just kept talking and eating cereal. And that night we had done that camp fire roasting and I sat next to him, and he made two s’mores, and I didn’t have a stick. I thought that he was gonna give that one to me because i thought that he was just tryna be nice to me a little bit. And he was like so do you want this. I said yeah and he was like i’m not talking to you i’m talking to and then I turned around there was one of his new friends right behind me and I just went back to the cabin missed out on s’mores. When he came back to the bunk after the campfire, I went over to him and said hey do you want to play basketball when we wake up in the morning. He said you know what I don’t wanna hang out okay just please stop, you’re being really annoying. I was just shocked and I just want to get so raged up and just get so mad and just like, give him a piece of my mind but i didn’t. I tried to get to sleep and then I just started to cry and I really just, really cried a lot and I just couldn’t stop, it just kept coming ,and I was really homesick and I just want to go home now. The rest of the days rolled by just like that. He would really ignore me and when my parents came to pick me up. I acted like nothing had happened but something really did happen, I lost a friend at that camp.

It’s really terrible every year because we have to sleep on hay mattresses and do weird scholastic things. The last day I was super excited to go we put our bags at the front of the room and teachers were going around to a final check. I don’t realize it but my underwear was sitting right in the middle of the room it wasn’t just plain underwear though. It had a little pee-stain that was dried up from the night before, cause the toilet paper at the place was really hard and it ran out cause like there's only three stalls and there was like fifty girls so I had to drip and drive. One of the teachers went in front of my underwear and said”Is that one of your underwears?” If it’s your underwear you have to claim it now or else we’re gonna throw it out. The whole room was silent. I didn’t want to claim it was my underwear because then everyone would think I’m really weird for having pee-stains in my underwear so I kept quiet. OK can I have three volunteers to come and throw it out. I volunteered as one of them cause I felt bad for the two other people who had to pick up my underwear. It was kinda hard cause I had to pretend it was the grossest thing I had ever seen, even though it wasn’t really because it was my underwear. We were all starting to leave and I felt safe now because my underwear was in the garbage and no one suspected me,well i thought no one did. All of a sudden a really mean girl in my grade came up to me and said ,”I know those are your underwear you can tell me, I won’t tell anyone.” But I knew better than to tell her. If I told her and she’d probably tell the whole grade that those are my underwear and then I probably won’t have any friends, so I did not tell her. But then she kept trying to get it out of me by saying” your secret’s safe,you can tell me, I promise. But i didn’t. But then all of a sudden she got an idea. She said” I know those aren't your underwear what was I thinking those are way too big to be your underwear’ She walked away with a really mean smile on her face. I felt like i was about to cry it hurt my feelings that someone would say my underwear was big, but then I realized it didn't matter what she thought about me and my underwear. I was just happy to be leaving my secret behind, buried in a trash can where no one would find.
