I Don’t Need Your Fake Love by Melandia

Chapter 34

“I’m off to my room,” I said, and then I did, locking the door behind me for some peace.

My personality has changed, I wasn’t always this shy. I fought back once.

There was this one time when I pulled Ashley aside, and even though I barely tugged, she hit the desk and started crying.

Just for that, my mom slapped me and made me apologize. She didn’t even give me a chance to explain what happened.

That time, I tried to stand my ground with a hunger strike, and even left home, hoping they’d miss me.

I waited for them at our usual park all day, but they never

came.

When I finally returned, hungry and shivering, they were all snug in the living room, chuckling at the TV. The coffee table was a feast of snacks.

It was enough to make anyone snap.

I lost it, crushed the snacks under my feet, and got a beating for my outburst. After that, they punished me by taking away my lunch money, and forbid me to go out and play with my friends.

Who got out to play with them? Ashley did, and they all loved her.
