As Veena and Mathew walked home together after school, I noticed that Mathew looked very, very down. He snapped at her four times when she brought my name into the conversation. Why did she she have to do that though? Was it really worth it, hating a dead girl? I was never a competition. Mathew wouldn't so much as look at me when she was with him. And after the awful gossip started to spread...He would never stay in the same place as me. 576Please respect copyright.PENANAlwXayUCn2g

I was always a person who kept my secrets to myself. I never let anyone see how I really felt. Didn't it seem foolish to believe that a closed up person like me would reveal that I had a crush on Mathew to the whole class? Apparently, it wasn't foolish to Mathew. He really got it into his head that I was a horrible girl who was clinging to him.576Please respect copyright.PENANAb8JTMQPHoT

"Is she really worth mourning for, Mathew?" Veena simpered. "It's sad and everything that she died but really? You didn't even know her."576Please respect copyright.PENANAeoTujCxxqo

Yes...He never knew me. The Ophelia he knew was a distorted painting done by my classmates. I wasn't that girl. He would have liked the real me. I am sure of that. Pathetic, I know.576Please respect copyright.PENANAeRHkTG4MlF

"SHE IS DEAD, VEENA!" Mathew exploded. "Do you even understand how I felt when I heard the news? I didn't want to see her...I..."576Please respect copyright.PENANAueVtYlocwe

Dissolving instantly into tears, Veena just walked away from him. For a moment, Mathew looked stunned. But he made no attempt to go after her.576Please respect copyright.PENANA9iW3V6du61

"Ophelia..." He muttered. Then blinking furiously he walked in the direction of his own home.576Please respect copyright.PENANAiTua0Rxvtz
