Oh hi! I'm Rachael! I've walked this earth 15 years now, and I blow out the candles on June 12th. If you can't tell, I've been a life-long dancer. (My profile pic looks weird because I tried to get the pointe shoes in the picture.) My friends used to be my life. I didn't know what I'd do without them, but now I know after feeling so alone for so long now. I try to be a happy person, but so much has happened in my life it's been really hard to be lately. I'd label myself as an optimist in life, so if you ever need support, just talk to me and I'll get contact info to you. I get along with most everybody, so don't be shy!
I doubt you're reading this, but if you are,
you're gorgeous♥

I'm currently posting a story called "The Things You Don't Know" that I wrote a while ago. I know more people are reading it than I expected, and I really appreciate that. I'm debating starting another original story, but I don't know where to start. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Six
I shot up from the bed in a cold sweat. I felt a warm hand on mine and looked to my left to see and man and a boy. The boy held my hand. He had jet black hair and blue eyes so bright they would put the stars to shame.
I furrowed my eyebrows at him, trying to remember why he's so familiar. The man next to him smiled and used a black pen to write something on a clipboard.
I looked down in confusion and saw a white bed with a gray sheet over my legs. I saw a bluish dress in place of my clothes. Just then I realized the pounding in my head, reached up, and touched a bandage instead of my hair. Then it hit me. I looked over at the boy and whispered, "Matt?"
He smiled and said, "Emily. You're awake and functional today."
"What is that supposed to mean?" I scowled at him.
The man answered me. "Emily, you're at the hospital. Matt here and I have come every day for almost a year now. Usually you stay asleep, but there are days like today we get to speak to you.
Your mother abused you for years, correct? Why?"
"W-well, my father left and my brother died."
"No, Emily. Your father used to beat all three of you. By the time we got to your house to take you away, it had already started."
"What had?"
"Well, you pass out and have dreams. Dreams that never happened. And in these dreams, you see through many points of view, don't you?"
"Y-yeah? How do you know all of this?"
"We've spoken other times when you've woken up, and every time we talk you told a different story with different people. But Emily, you have a very rare case of multiple-personality disorder. Your mind creates these dreams to cope with your life, rather than keep you awake and turn you into many people."
"I d-don't understand."
"You are you in these dreams. Abused, insecure, and always scared, especially at your locker. That is because the last thing you saw as the real you was your school locker.
Your father was supposedly dropping off your lunch one day about a year ago. He went off on you and beat you unconscious. Nobody saw because your locker is so far from the classrooms. And all those people you are and that you see in your dreams are all parts of you. They developed after that scene."
"S-so... Katy, Lucy, Julie, they're all, me?..."
"Yes. Katy is your thirst for revenge against your father. Lucy is the child you were before you were beaten, but she's also the little bit of innocence you still have. She's the nosy child who had to pay for the consequences of snooping around outside of her own business. Julie is your undying need for someone to listen. For someone to understand and just be there for you. James is a reminder of your father, because he hurt you in a way that can never be reversed or forgotten. And finally, Matt here is your escape. He allows you to forget it all for a while and still have somebody left to love and who loves you back. Who loves you no matter what."
"But, so, I-I'm just stuck here in a mental ward? For the rest of my life? Doomed to have these terrible nightmares forever?"
"Emily, you need to be here. The nurses and assistants are what keep you alive. Without them feeding and tending to you, you'd be dead."
This is too much. Nobody deserves to worry over me.
Just do it! Tell 'em to pull the plug!
But I can't. I want to live!
No I don't. This isn't worth it!
I freaked out inside and started rolling around on the bed screaming and crying. I really just wanted to die.
Nurse after nurse came running in, and I heard him say, "it's time."
I felt cold hands go around my wrists and ankles, holding me down as best as they could while I thrashed around, desperately trying to escape the grips for four large men.
The needle shined bright in the lights above, and I felt the sharp pinch. My head started to reel. I relaxed, closed my eyes, and everything began to slowly fade away.
And the last thing I remember is the warm familiar touch of his lips on mine.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Five
I looked around and opened my locker as fast as I could. I heard footsteps and whipped around, almost falling in surprise when I saw Julie smiling behind me. She reached out for a hug.
"Hey Em! Gosh I missed you!"
"Julie! Oh thank God you're back! I have so much to tell you!"
Julie had been in Washington for a couple weeks visiting family. I recapped everything that had gone on lately, right up to last night's beating. She's the only one I ever confided in right away like this.
She didn't say much. She's a girl of few words that have a large impact.
"I didn't know Katy was like that. And Matt is so cute!" she winked after the last part. "And I've told you before to move to my house! Plus we can hide you between my house and Matt's from your mom."
"Maybe. . ."
I didn't really know what to think. We had been walking to Julie's house since I finished at my locker, so I really just zoned out and was only walking, not listening.
* * *
"God, I really don't know what to say Em."
"Me either. . ."
She just trailed off. She looked so upset, and I didn't know how to help. Her face is bruised, but I can't point it out and risk upsetting her even more.
"Julie, it's been great seeing you, but I just want to be alone. I'm gonna go for a walk. Text you later."
I sighed, but had to let her go.
When she was gone, I continued to my house and went into the kitchen for a snack. My phone lit up when I placed it on the counter. I picked it up and answered the unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Where is my daughter??"
"I, I don't know Miss Stonewell. She just left."
"God, I'm going to kill that girl!"
And then the line went dead.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Four, Part 3
6:30 pm
"How you feelin' Emily?"
I opened my eyes, waking up from a 45 minute nap in Matt's arms. I felt an ice pack held to my face and my cheek throbbed.
"Terrible."
I slowly closed my eyes again as I felt his lips press against mine.
"Okay, better now." I smiled slightly and then blushed. I had told him about what went down at Katy's, and he agreed it was weird for her to do something like this now.
But all things aside, I was happy with Matt. When it came time for me to go home, he walked me home and came up to my room again. I sat down on my bed and Matt knelt down on both knees in front of me. He pulled a cherry Ring Pop out of his jacket pocket and asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course I said yes!
He knew about my home life, because I let it slip when telling him what Katy said to me. He held me close while I talked about Michael. He was only 19 when a drunk driver killed him in a car crash. He offered to get me out of my house and away from my abusive mother. He noticed all my cuts and bruises when I took my sweater off. My back was covered in bruises, my wrists covered in slits. A new hand print on my face, and razor burns on my legs (along with other cuts on my hips). And if I could get out of here, life could be so much better.
Matt left around 11 so I could sleep. He gave me a goodnight kiss and then climbed out the window. But we didn't know my mother had been right outside, listening to everything all night long. And little does he know, I had to endure another beating that night.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Four, Part 2
"WHAT IS THIS ABOUT??!" I screamed at Matt as I reached the kitchen.
Matt's eyes grew wide as he whispered, "where did you get that?"
"Lucy!"
"Oh God... Oh no... No no no... Did she tell you?..."
"Duh! How could you let her go through with this?!"
"She said you were unhappy... That you needed to be away from fights and pain of not seeing James..."
"SO YOU LET HER BREAK US UP TO BE WITH HIM?!" I couldn't hold back anymore.
"I had no clue Emily... I-"
"LIAR! YOU KNEW SHE LIKED HIM!! SHE TOLD YOU SO AND YOU LET HER DO IT!!"
"But James told you ab-"
"I DON'T CARE! HE LET HER KISS HIM!"
"Emily... She likes him..."
"NO! YOU DON'T GET IT! SHE'S BEEN JEALOUS SINCE WE GOT TOGETHER THREE YEARS AGO!"
"I... Didn't know that part... But as soon as I found you, I got together to fix you... I didn't want you to crash and burn..."
I had no words. I felt so many things. Finally I came up with, "I'm sorry. You didn't do anything wrong. But, why did she come to you?"
* * *
My phone buzzed beside me on the couch, and when I pulled away to look at it, it was Emily.
"Hey, you home?" it read.
I replied, "yeah why?"
His eyes slowly opened, and he held my chin and said, "kiss me again Katy."
I looked at my phone again after another kiss, and it said "Be there in 10".
"James, hun, you need to go. She's coming."
He sighed and said "alright. See you later Katy," and he winked at me before walking out the back door.
* * *
"Because he's a stupid jock that I figured could humiliate you by being with you and dumping you in front of everyone at the Thanksgiving game next week."
I couldn't even let myself cry. I said, "how long. How long have you had this planned out Kathleen?"
She laughed, stepped forward, and smacked me. "One, don't call me that. Two, since you got with him honey! Didn't you see he'd turn on you with a single temptation?"
I held my face as I stared coldly at Katy. "Go ahead, he's all yours."
"Oh darling, he's been all mine. And Matty's gonna dump you when he hears about his swet little Emily being an abused crybaby. Then you'll really be alone."
And then I smacked her. She fell to the floor laughing hysterically. "By the way Emily, remember your brother? Remember poor Michael? Well three years ago, when he got in the car and left, he was driving here to flip on me. His fiancé found out he made out with me and called everything off. So that car crash? Was MY FAULT."
And she laughed. I leaned down and started to punch her. I don't have much upper body strength, so I started kicking her. She didn't care. She went on and on about how she's always hated me and has been dying to get back at me so that my "perfect" life would crumble.
"PERFECT? My father left when my brother died! And my mother took up drinking and always beats me! Every Friday she gets drunk and every Saturday stocks back up on alcohol! My life is terrible thanks to you!"
"Good. You're not a princess, sweetheart, realize that now."
I gave her one last kick to the face and walked out of her house.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Four, Part 1
2:10
Monday
I had just gotten to my locker when I saw Matt walking towards me. I said hey to him and turned to open my locker. I put my jacket on, exchanged books, and told Matt I was ready to go.
We walked six blocks to his house. When we got into the house, there was a girl sitting at the table, she had to be ten at best, drinking a glass of milk.
"Ooooh, Maaatt! Is that your giiirlfrieeend?" She said and then giggled.
Matt huffed. "No Lucy, she's just a friend. This is Emily, and Emily this is my sister Lucy."
Lucy jumped off the bar stool near the table and walked over to me. I hoped she wasn't looking me over. (I'm beyond insecure. I'm a size 5 in Aero jeans and I wear large shirts. I feel so fat.)
She stopped in front of me and gestured for me to lean down. She whispered, "can you come with me for a minute?"
I nodded slightly and told Matt we'd be right back. I heard him calling us to come back, but Lucy had grabbed my hand and led me upstairs to a small pink bedroom full of stuffed animals and posters. She let go of my hand and walked to her bed, knelt down, and stood back up holding a small wooden box.
Lucy came over to the dresser and placed the box on top. When she opened it, I saw pictures inside. There was a boy and a girl standing on the sidewalk. I had a hunch and grabbed one picture before walking over to the large window across the room with a camera sitting on the windowsill.
And then it hit me. Those pictures were taken right here, the boy and the girl standing in front of this house.
"I think her name was Kate or somethin'."
"Katy. . ." I whispered to myself.
* * *
"They talk about you."
"They, they do?" Emily's voice quivered when she spoke. She just looked at me, closed her eyes, and slowly sank down the wall to a ball on the floor. Uh oh, she's gonna cry! What did I do?!
She looked up, her big green eyes sparkling with tears I could see she held back. I walked over and sat next to her and threw my arms around her shaking body.
I sat there and thought and thought and thought. I knew I had to remember what Matt said to her.
"W-what was she doing here Luce?"
"I don't know. But they talked about a girl named Emily a lot, so I thought it could be you."
She started crying really hard. So I knew I had to tell her what I remembered.
"Well at first, Matt didn't wanna. He thought it was bad. He said he couldn't do it."
"But he did Lucy. And it's her fault!" (She said some bad words that I'm not allowed to say.)
She wiped her face, but it didn't help 'cause her eyes were all red. She got up, took the picture, and ran downstairs.
I like her. I want her to stay. I hope Matty didn't mess things up by talking to that girl. How could she even think of doing that to her best friend anyway?

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Three, Part 2
I thought she'd be happy. Why isn't she happy. Sometimes that girl is just so self-centered! She knows I've never been this happy. So why does she not seem to care? Whatever. I'm home for the weekend now, so it's not something to hover on.
I washed my hands and face before leaving the bathroom. I walked back into Katy's room and saw she had brought up some snacks for us. She looked over and smiled before telling me, "Mom's ordering pizza for dinner. Dad requested meat-lover's. That cool with you?"
"Well duh! You know it's my favorite!" I replied realizing how long it'd been since I had had pizza.
We decided to go down to the living room to watch tv on the bigger one. Katy's mom was in the kitchen putting groceries away. She smiled when she saw me.
"Well hey Em! We've missed having you over!"
"Hey mom! I've missed it here."
I call her mom because she's more of a mom to me than my mother. Katy's parents both treat me like their own. They know my situation.
"So do you guys have any crackers?" I asked.
"I bought your favorite since I knew you were coming." Katy's mom smiled as she pulled a box of Town House out of a bag. I smiled at her and took the box. We went back into the living room to watch tv until dinner in a couple of hours.
Just as Katy found a movie to watch, my phone buzzed. I forgot I had texted Matt about an hour ago. The message said, "hey Emily! Im so glad you found my note! :)" I smiled at my phone and then replied,
"yeah! I had the best night last night. Thank you so so much. I needed it more than you know."
"thats great! so uh, you busy after school monday?"
"nope, I'm free! what did you have in mind? :)"
"well I thought maybe I could make you dinner."
"make me dinner? that sounds so awesome!"
"cool! I can walk you home from school if you like. we can walk to my house and then eat around 5:30"
"its a date :)"
I walked upstairs to plug in my dying phone. When I came back down the pizza was here. I ended up eating two pieces and drank two glasses of Coke. After dinner, Katy and I went back up to her room and I told her about my new plans for Monday, thinking she'd be happier for me.
"What?? He's already making dinner for you and you guys aren't even together?? I'd be careful Emily. Don't rush into things just because you're single now. That's a really stupid thing to do."
"I'm not rushing! I know what I'm doing! I'm not a child Kathleen!"
She knows I don't use her full name unless I'm really upset. She hates her full name.
"Emily, calm down. Do whatever you want. I don't care. Just don't come running to me when it goes bad."
Wow. Really? What on Earth is her problem?
"I'm sorry Katy. I really am."
"Don't worry about it."
I gave her a hug to reassure her I was truely sorry.
The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. All I wanted was for Monday night to come so I could see Matt again.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Three, Part 1
My phone vibrated as I opened up my locker to take out my track stuff. It was Emily, and it was a picture message. I opened it, and saw Emily's face, but who was that boy with her? Was that seriously Matt?? And it looks like they're in her room!!
I stared at it a bit and started to type, "aww, you guys are so cuute!"
I heard my mom yell from outside the locker room, "Kathleen, are you almost done? I want to get you home so I can go grocery shopping before I pick up Emily for your sleepover!"
I huffed. "Yeah Mom, just give me a sec!"
I grabbed the clothes and put my phone in my pocket and walked out to meet my mother. When I got in the car, my phone went off with Emily's reply.
"you really think so?"
"of course! totally adorable. and hey, you still sleeping over tonight?"
"yeah! when's your mom gettin me?"
"around 3 if that's ok"
"perfect! I have so much to tell you Katy!"
I figured. With that picture I got, I knew there had to be a story.
When we got home I jumped out of the car and went into the house and up to my room to clean. I tossed my track clothes and other dirty clothes into my hamper to bring downstairs before lunch. I shoved all I could into the closet and shut the door. I looked into the full length mirror at myself. My dirty-blond hair was still curled from last night. The curls bounced on my shoulders as I turned my head back and forth looking for a hair tie. My dark brown eyes were still made up, and the coverup I had on was actually still there. I pulled my sweater off and tossed it onto my bed. I decided I'd be fine in my pink tanktop, and changed into my black capri sweats.
I took my basket of clothes downstairs to the laundry room and got the laundry started. I made myself a tuna melt for lunch and got some chips to have with it. I took my plate to the living room and sat down on the corner of the couch so I could stretch my legs out on the extention of it. (It's a corner piece and I'm not supposed to eat on it. But noone's home. So I don't care.)
I put on the tv until Emily came, but I mostly just zoned out thinking about it. I'm not sure why I did now. It was not supposed to turn out like this! But I should've expected it. And why is sh-
"Hey Katy!"
I turned around and saw Emily standing there. I jumped up and gave her a hug, took her bags, and she followed me up to my room. I dropped her bag in front of the dresser she uses for the summer when she stays over, turned to her, and said:
"Okay, spill!"
"Oh. My. God! You'll never believe this!"
She recapped how she and James ended, Matt's game, and everything in her bedroom. So the only question now was,
"So are you and Matt like, together??"
"Not officially. But I hope he wants to be!"
She's so happy. I can't believe it. I've never seen her like this. So I had to find out if this was true. I took her phone when she went to the bathroom and stole Matt's number. I texted him, "are you and Emily together?" He eventually answered, "Idk. I need to talk to her."
I put my phone down, not knowing what to say or do.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Two, Part 4
"Oh God, oh God, I'm so sorry Emily. I'm so sorry..." He trailed off in apologies.
"Hey hey hey, what are you apologizing for?"
"You have a boyfriend, don't you?"
"Actually, we broke up yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't mention that. But I would have stopped you if I still had a boyfriend. I'd never cheat. I broke up with him because he cheated on me."
"Oh. I'm really sorry to hear that Em."
"It's okay. And, could you please not call me Em?"
"Um, sure? Why though?"
"I just, can we not talk about this? Come dance with me again." I smiled and held my hands out to him. He smiled back, took my hand, and walked over to my iPod to change the song.
We danced all night. All kinds of artists, all kinds of dance. We took silly pictures. Its was the best night I'd had in years.
I ended up falling asleep in the bean-bag chair, and when I woke up the next day, I found a blanket around me and a note on my iPod that read this:
Emily ☺
You fell asleep around midnight. I had to get home, so I wanted to say good night, and sweet dreams. Here's my number if you want to meet again this weekend.
Matt 978-693-0122
I grabbed my phone and entered Matt's number. I made one of the pictures of us his contact picture, and then sent the picture to Katy. I'm so happy. I haven't felt this happy in, I don't know how long. I hope Katy's happy for me. She usually is. She's been here for me for almost 4 years. So she'll be happy for me. Right?. . .

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Two, Part 3
We decided to walk up the street a couple blocks over from my house to the Dunkin' Donuts. I got a mint hot chocolate and Matt got a decaf. When I tried to pay, he grabbed my hand and paid for us. After he paid, he squeezed my hand before letting go. We walked to my house after, since he insisted on walking me home.
I pulled out my house key and heard yelling behind the door. I grabbed Matt's hand and led him up the driveway to the back entrance; up the stairs to my parents' balcony, then we hopped over to mine. We went into my room and sat on the two bean-bag chairs. I put on my iPod to break the silence.
"Oooooh, this is mah jaam! " said Matt laughing. Then he started to sing, "woooaah, we're half-way there. Woooaah! Livin' on a Prayer!"
I laughed while he sang along to Bon Jovi. When the song ended, I put on one of my favorite songs: Call me by Shinedown (you can hear it on my profile). I refused to sing for him.
"Aw, come on Em! I sang for you! Pleease??" he begged like a three-year-old.
"Oh alright!" And I did something I hardly ever do: sing in front of someone.
"I finally put it all together, that nothin' really lasts forever. I had to make a choice that was not mine. I had to say goodbye for the last time. I've said it so many times. I would change my ways, no, nevermind. God knows I've tried."
Matt just sat there staring while I sang. I started to trail off and he took my hands and pulled me up to dance.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, he put his hands on my hips. He looked down at me and gently let his forehead hit mine. I just melted looking into those blue eyes. I closed my eyes as the song faded, and on the last note I felt his warm, soft lips press against mine. When the song started to replay, he pulled back and those perfect teeth were starting to show, more and more, the smile on his face growing bigger and bigger.
When the song reached the part I sang, Matt started to squirm and blink really fast. He let go of me and stumbled back onto my bed.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Two, Part 2
8:45 p.m.
"Aaaand we're into the final minute of the game here people! The Westwood Serpents have a 21-6 lead over the Springfield Warriors!"
The crowd roared as a black shirt with a green 11 ran the ball 39 yards into the end zone. I didn't really see or care. But I do know we ended up winning with a score of 27-6. After the game, Matt took off his helmet before leaving the field. I waited where the rest of the players had left the field for him. When he saw me, his eyes lit up with joy. He charged at me with his arms out like he was going to tackle me, then wrapped his arms around me and spun me around when he lifted me up, shouting, "You came! We won! You must be my good luck charm Emily!"
I laughed. A real, genuine laugh. The one I thought was gone. I haven't done that in almost 3 years. Not since my brother died.
"Of course I came! " I smiled at him. He gave me a squeeze and then put me down.
His smile started to fade. "Why is your face pink Emily?"
"Because it's cold."
"Don't lie to me. That's not a cold face red. Emily, what happened? There looks like there's a hand print on your face, and not the kind you get from leaning it on your face for a while."
"I-it's nothing. Promise." I gave him a half-smile, trying to reassure him.
He sighed. "If there's something going on, please tell me when you're ready."
"Kay."
"Well, all the guys are celebrating tonight, but I don't really want to go party. Would you maybe want to do something?" He smiled hopefully at me.
"Um, I might be able to. Could we like, go get hot chocolates or something? I'm freezing. And I need to get home."
"Yeah, sounds great! Give me like five minutes to change and we can go." He smiled and then jogged towards the locker rooms. I walked towards the building to wait, with only one thing left on my mind:
I have a date tonight.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter Two, Part 1
I got to my locker and my phone said 7:07. As I looked up from my bad I saw a boy with jet black hair holding a huge black shirt with a green 9 on the back standing in front of my locker.
I stopped in front of him and he said "I couldn't wait three more minutes. So anyway, this is my backup jersey you can wear today." Matt smiled.
"Thanks." I gave my most manageable smile as I dropped my bag to open my locker. I took my black sweater off, stuck it on a shelf in my locker, and slipped the jersey on. I was so happy the shade of my shirt matched the green of the jersey. (We're the Westwood High Serpents, so green and black are our colors.) But oh man, his number is 9.
I turned around and Matt said, "Wow, my jersey looks way better on you than on me." He blushed slightly.
I smiled. "Thanks, Matt."
He leaned forward and gave me a hug. "The game starts at 7 tonight. I'll see you later, Em!" He smiled and then turned to walk away. I turned back to my locker, exchanged books, closed the locker, and smiled to myself as I started to walk away.

6:30 p.m.
"WELL I SAID NO!"
"BUT I NEVER GET TO DO ANYTHING!"
"I DON'T CARE! I'M NOT BRINGING YOU!"
"BUT MOM I - "
Yup. I said the 'b' word. So it happened again. I knew I should've dropped it and gone upstairs for a while. I'm so stupid. It's like I invite her to do it. When she finally finished, she went out to the car and drove to the bar. Of course. Where else would she be? It is Friday night after all. So I went upstairs, put on some make-up, and then went downstairs and out the door. I started walking down the street towards the game. I couldn't stay in that house, and I couldn't miss the game.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter One, Part 2
I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day. I mostly tried to figure out if this was all real. I got home and grabbed my phone off the charger to text James. He had texted me first though. He said, "babe, idk if I can do this. being in different schools is so hard. Im sry Em, but I got tempted and cheated on you. it was just 1 kiss. can you forgive me?" I threw my phone down and sank down to the floor crying. How could he do this to me? Three years! I gave that boy three years of my life and love, and this is how I'm repaid. This is how I'm treated? No. I don't know how long this has gone on, but it's ending now. I'm so stupid to believe this wouldn't happen. Everybody has their deal-breaker, and mine is cheating. I stood up slowly, grabbed my phone again, and shakily texted back, "no. I won't forgive you James. Ever. you know I can't stand cheaters. So we're done. Goodbye."
I never got a rely. So my biggest problem was now gone. That jerk I had is gone, and now the only thing left on my mind was Matt and his gorgeous blue eyes. God I love blue eyes. And his jet black hair just made them pop. His hair was short, but just long enough you could run your fingers through it. At 5 foot 7, he had a strong, defined chest and stomach, and long legs for running.
All I though about was him and what to wear to impress him. Today I wore light blue skinny jeans, my tan BearPaws, and a black tanktop with a gray zip-up sweater zipped half-way. I can do better than that. My shoulder-length, dark brown (almost but not quite black) hair can be straightened to wear down tomorrow, and I can wear my dark blue flare jeans and my green-laced shirt with a white tanktop underneath. I grabbed my phone, charger, and school bag and quickly went up the slightly spiraled staircase to my room. I picked out the outfit and layed in on a small table near my bed for the morning, wanting the night to come and go so I could see Matt tomorrow morning.

The Things You Don't Know
Chapter One, Part 1
The warning bell rang as I opened my locker. Five minutes to get what I need and get to class. Just as I go to shut my locker, I felt an arm around around my waist.
"How you feelin' today, Em?" I turned around to see the smile of Katy looking at me. She knew James and I were fighting again last night. I smiled back at her and said, "better than I was. Thanks." She just looked at me, the smile fading, knowing I lied. She sighed, and then said, "well, alright." She hugged me tight and said she had to get to class. I leaned with my back against the locker as I watched her walk away. I walked down the stairs to class, and got in the room seconds before the bell rang. I pulled out a notebook to take notes after the morning announcements.
The day was uneventful. Until lunch, that is. I walked toward the cafeteria with my head down and my books held tightly against my chest. I didn't even notice I was about to walk right into a tough-looking football player. I ran into him head-on, and my jaw dropped as apologies spilled out of my mouth. He laughed, put his hands on my shoulders, and said, "Hey, it's no big deal. Don't worry about it. Really." I smiled a little and continued my journey to the cafeteria.
When I got there, there was no room at my usual table. Typical. People don't seem to care if I'm there or not. So I sat at a table in the corner, isolating myself and opened up my math homework to work on. The football player I had just run into made eye contact with me while walking into the cafeteria, and surprisingly broke away from his pack to come over to me. He said, "Hey. Emily, right?" I just looked up at him, frozen where I was. "I'm Matt. I sit near you in study."
"Oh yeah, that's why you're familiar."
"Haha, yeah. Hey, where's your lunch?"
"Big breakfast. Not hungry." I lied through my teeth.
"Gotchya. Wow, how do you do your algebra so fast?" He asked noticing my open math book, and sat down across from me.
"I love math. It's easy for me."
"Maybe you could tutor me sometime." He said winking at me.
"Um, maybe." I got a nervous tingly feeling when he winked. The good kind of nervous though.
"But how does such a small body hold so much information?" He jokingly teased, noticing my short height of 5 foot 2 when I stood up to pick up my bag.
"I don't know." I half-smiled and started to pack up.
"Hey, where are you going Emily?"
"To the elevator. I recently recovered from a broken bone in my lower leg."
"Ohh. Can I be your elevator buddy?" He smiled at me.
"Sure, if you really want to."
"Okay!" He gestured while saying "ladies first" and giggled a little.
I smiled. When we got to the elevator, he started asking about me.
"Are you free this weekend?" he eventually asked.
I frowned a little. "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend, and we have plans this weekend."
"I understand. Well, could you at least come to the football game tomorrow night and cheer me on? I have a spare jersey you'd look adorable in." He blushed slightly.
"Well, I guess I could rearrange my schedule and outfit for you." I winked at him and then laughed. When he smiled, I noticed he had dimples. I love dimples.
"He looked like a kid in a candy store. "Awesome! I'll bring you my jersey tomorrow! Meet me at locker 1153 at 7:10 tomorrow morning."
"That works out! My locker is 1177, right down the hall!" I smiled again at him.
"That's so cool!" He laughed as we stepped off the elevator. The bell rang, and he said, "See you tomorrow morning Emily!"

The Things You Don't Know
Prologue
"EMILY ELIZABETH, GET OUT OF BED!"
Great, Mom's up. I know if I don't get up now, she'll just keep yelling. I stumbled in the darkness to grab the clothes I set out last night. I didn't want to change though, because that would mean being totally exposed to the old air in my room. But I knew I had to get up.
I got changed and went downstairs to find out I way overslept. I grabbed my bag, a coat, and shoes, and ran out to meet the bus. I could already see how awesome my day would be.
* * * * * *
My name is Emily (Elizabeth) Stonewell. A green-eyed, brown-haired girl, I'm fifteen years old and a sophomore in high school. I live in a small town in Massachusetts, full of people I don't particularly care for. I have a boyfriend named James, and two best friends. You'll meet them soon enough. I used to have so many friends, but they've all left or we've faded apart, so I'm down to a handful.
I love to dance more than anything, and I'm actually pretty good in school. My life has been harder than most people know. I wish people would notice me, but nobody ever has, and nobody ever will. My name is Emily, and this is my story.
let me know what you guys think of the prologue! there are only 5 chapters in this story, and it is based partially on my life, but mostly not. the end may be crappy, but i think it's overall a decent story.
