Stars On Her Arms
Andrew the star player on the football team, found out that other people exist the other day. Other people being Emily. Shes basically a nobody especially compared to Andrew. Compared to me she’s popular, no one really know my name and I’m ok to keep it like this so I can share they’re story. Andrew met Emily through band, when he was dared to watch them rehearse, he saw her and her light. He saw how she stood out among the crowd. One day, they were partnered for a project together in chemistry, Andrews favorite subject. He invited her over and they talked and connected over small things like they’re pets and favorite songs. Things slowly got more intense as he leans over to her and whispers a compliment. They share a brief kiss, in which Andrews brother catches on camera. Like all drama starters, Andrew’s sister, Nina is a big one, she loves being online so much she created a whole app for the students in out grade to post all sorts of drama. With that you can only guess what she did, she posted it on the app, Lorrel high drama. The next day unknowingly they both walk into school, different times, different reactions from they’re friends. Emily’s friends congratulated her and hyped her up, while Andrews friends ignored him and made fun of him. He can’t handle being alone from the hurt of his past so he told his friends he just wanted to see if she would kiss him back. She was there just behind him hurt, with tears forming in her eyes, staring at the stars he drew on her arm out of boredom during the project. She runs out of the room, he tries to follow, now in they’re own bedrooms against they’re walls…and all they could do was cry.
