Tammy
Having paid for her lunch she rushed to catch up to the rest of her friends and burst forward through the doors. The chilly air caressed her skin and caused the tiny hair on her arm to stand on end. She didn’t dislike it but if it went anywhere to freezing she’d start sneezing her nose off. That wouldn’t be a pretty sight. She sat down on the patch of grass carefully since her lunch was in danger of tumbling out of her arms. She quietly listened and munched on a chocolate chip cookie she had brought. Taking out the whole bag she placed it in the middle so her friends could grab some if they wanted. Tammy always brought something else from home because she never seemed to fill up her stomach with just the cafeteria food. Oddly enough she wasn’t fat or chubby. Thank you fast metabolism! she smiled as she thought of this. She nodded in agreement to what Eli, Ellie and Ares said.
“They judge by only what they can see and not what they cant. We’re not that bad are we?” she asked quietly as she looked at herself. Sure, she had extremely puffy hair and a weird way of dressing but did that make her a bad person? Her brain operated differently and a bit faster than most but that didn’t make her a freak did it? She didn’t think so but… “What is it that is so wrong with being ourselves?”
She blushed realizing she had said that out loud and slumped her shoulders forward. She sighed surmising that no one out here was judging her since it was only her friends and loosened the tension in her shoulders. She leaned back on her hands and stared up at the sky. “They suck. If they can’t see how great you guys are then they’re even dumber than what their assignment papers reveal.” She smiled and continued. “And that’s saying a lot…” She leaned back into her sitting positioned and grabbed another cookie. She made a noise of satisfaction before looking at her friends with a wide smile. “But who needs them anyway when we’ve got each other?”
