The Girl Who Wheeled

Permanently bruised by a tragic accident, Melanie Martins felt useless. She was the girl who people stared at in public,the girl who didn't need a chair because she was permanently sitting on one with wheels. She became so isolated that her parents were getting so scared that they enrolled her in a therapy session. Melanie was acing all her tests and exams because she had nothing fun to do,so most of the time,she was stuck with her books. At least,she could do one thing right. Her friends moved away,and there was literally no one she could relate with. Well, until HE came along. Damien Brooks was the dude with the killer looks,he was that guy that was stared at whenever he walked into somewhere. He was so popular that all girls wanted to do was smell his jacket. He was new to Melanie's school,and Melanie felt threatened because he was stealing her spot on the 'A' list ; the top. Within a week of joining EastLake High,Damien found himself quite a couple of friends. Although he was known for his hot Instagram pics and videos,they finally met him in person,and all everyone wanted to do was one thing...be his friend. Damien noticed everyone trying to sit with him and talk to him,but there was this girl who wore round glasses and sweaters every damn day. She didn't give a hoot about his reputation,and he didn't like that. Damien was no douche or jerk,but his ego was something no one could match up with. Curious to know her,he tried talking to her,only to get coffee poured on him. Well,that was a rough start. Damien started to discover that there was more to the girl who sat at the back of the class,but aced all her exams. Damien discovered she was fun,but she was hidden in a wall she built around herself.

"I think it's safe to know I didn't do enough harm," Damien sighed as he scribbled in Mel's jotter. "After hearing your side of the story"

Mel just stared ahead of her. Her eyes were red because she didn't stop crying. She didn't wanna tell her parents,and it was honestly to her advantage that they weren't home.

"Are you hungry? I could order us something" Damien said as he continued to write in her jotter.

She slowly shook her head.

"MM," he whispered as he got up. He sat across her and cupped her cheek. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop him from doing what he did,but please don't stay mad at me"

She looked at him and shook her head.

"I'm not mad at you,Damien.. I'm just thinking"

"Thinking about what?"

She chuckled and looked at him.

"You really can't imagine how I feel," she paused. "And I'm also wondering why you still want me"
