I speed walked down the hallway, dodging students. I reached my locker, opening it. Holy shit, my locker is a fucking mess, as usual. I pushed my body weight onto the door in attempt to close it without everything coming tumbling out.

Niall, dayum that boy is so fine. I bit my lip as he approached his locker surrounded by his clique of friends. He let out a laugh making my heart skip a beat. I sighed, sliding down my locker. Suddenly everything slid out creating a pile of shit in the middle of the hallway. I gasped and turned away as quickly as possible, hoping, PRAYING, Niall didn't notice. But, unfortunately, I turned around to find him give out a stifled laugh and hurry off with his friends.

My heart ripped apart inside of me leaving a cold dead feeling in the pit of my stomach. Embarrassingly, I gathered the rest of my stuff and attempted to stuff it all back into my locker before second period.
**********
I awkwardly stepped off the steps on the bus and onto my road. Yep I'm that sixteen year old without a drivers license. I reached into the bushes, pulling out my banged up, second hand long board and hopped on.

Sometimes I find myself slowly drifting off. Like I'm only sixteen but I'm slowly dying inside.
I pushed off the concrete , hearing the distant sound of the bus screeching off to the next stop.

No one knows much about me. Hell, I don't know myself either. Why would I anyway? Who would? I'm just that girl in the back of class, embarrassingly getting all the questions wrong. That girl who drops her tray in the lunch room. The girl who gets her books slapped out of her hands and the girl who no one cares enough about to get to know. Let's face the facts, if I disappeared off the face of the Earth, who would notice really?

I lifted my board off the ground and pounded up the roughly paved driveway up to my 'house'. Or should I say our house, the house we ALL live in. All 37 of us. I rubbed the bald spot in the back of my hand self consciously while walking in the front door.

"Hunter!" Emily ran over, throwing her arms around my waist.

"Hey," I gave a weak smile.

She pulled me over to the couch where Brooke, Hayden, and Riley waited for me. We sat down, they all looked at me expectantly. "So?" Hayden said excitedly.

"What happened today?" Riley asked.

"Did you get even more popular?" Brooke wondered.

"How's your boyfriend Niall?" Emily asked dreamily.

"Well today me and Niall went on a picnic during class. He got me to ditch," I fed them more lies making them smile at me, making them feel proud to be my 'sisters'.

I know, I know. These are dirty lies. But imagine telling the little girls In your orphanage you are a geek in school. Yeah, you think It's easy..but I can just see their disappointed faces, the uninterest.

Being happy with the truth has never been easy. Never.
