Unseen

 A fat girl is listening to your conversation. She’s only five feet away. But you don’t notice her despite her big size. She’s hidden, she’s invisible. She’s Meghan Ball. She is the girl from Valley Regional High from the book looks by Madeleine George.

When unseen Meghan is less likely to be hurt. So there are no friends who may dump her later for their reputation. There are no boys bothering her and making her life miserable. There are no teachers who bother her with grades and homework. And there is no one who would notice and then make fun of her because of her big size. She would only have herself.

What first began as a happy girl who had her best friend, Cara, turned to a sad girl.  But that girl didn’t turn sad from one day to the other and without something for the cause of it.

It’s a real meanness for a girl to dump her best friend to make a better reputation. To choose a guy over her long best friend. To make up excuses to her every time. And after, to not even say a simple hello after seeing her in the hall.  And everything ends right there. The girl forgets her ex best friend. But the girl that was dumped will never forget her, no matter what.

It was done and it hurt. You don’t want to be hurt again.  The only thing you think of is being unseen.  There’s a shield protecting you from anyone. Not letting them get in. but it’s not strong enough. The little actions come through. Those little pieces make you hurt. But the shield is covering you and they can’t see you’re hurt.  

They know that you won’t stand up for yourself, that you are hidden only shielded by a thin shield. A broken shield. They take advantage of this. They hurt you in any possible way. You can see them through the holes but they can’t so they keep mistreating you. You don’t do anything; no one else does anything because you are unseen to them.

There’s someone you want to be with. You know she’s right for you. You watch her every day through the broken pieces of your shield. But you have to be seen to know her for she doesn’t see you. You put that shield under your bed and go confront her. You know her. You go back home and take the shield from under the bed. You ask her to share it. You both become invisible.

You both are unseen but happy. You have someone to share that shield with. But once in a while you have to shove that shield under your bed and be seen. It hurts more to be unseen than to be seen. Cause you have once been unseen and maybe you liked it or not but once in a while  its good. even thought that last time was a bad time, remember the ups.
