Lucy Carson is a rich girl, keeps it hidden because she can’t stand fake friends. At the beginning of 6th grade a group of guys, Landon, Tanner and Grayson torment Lucy everyday. They hurt her repeatedly every school year, summer was the only break she got from being beat up and teased. If only they knew her life, they’d want to be her friend instead of hurting her every chance they got. They were truly assholes, they didn’t care about anyone unless they had money. Lucy would have more friends, but she didn’t want people to only like her because she had money, that was horrible. She has this incredible next door neighbor Trevor, who secretly loves her, he doesn’t tell her because of all the bullying. He feels she’ll isolate herself more if she knew. Little does he know Lucy likes him back. Her best friends Savannah and Chelsea try their best to help her through the school year, not knowing she has begun to hurt herself over the bullying.

After I brushed my teeth again, we went back out to the kitchen, the smell didn’t bother me as much now, I tried to eat some, it was staying down, so I ate. After we finished the guys cleaned up, and us girls went to talk, we talked about the baby, and how I felt. 


“I’m happy truly, I want this to work, I would be happy with either a boy or girl, I’m not picky, I just know Landon makes me happy,” I say to Natalia and Sasha. 


We went on for a bit more, before we joined the boys, I sat on Landon’s lap, he instantly wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled as he gently rubbed my stomach, I wasn’t showing yet, but with time I would be, I was nervous for how everyone at school was going to react, what they would say, or spread around, I started to try to calm myself slowly, Landon looked concerned, 


“Baby, you okay? You need to breath now,” he made me face him on his lap.
