There’s a voice inside
my head. Distracting me and causing me
to lose my train of thought. Inside my
body there are now two beings where there is only room for one. I stop and
listen, and as I listen the voice becomes clearer. My heart beats faster and I
freeze, not wanting to think a wrong thought and have her not like me. I’ve admired Jennifer Lawrence ever since I
saw her in the First Hunger Games movie. Before I can stop myself, I gush out
my compliments and admiration before realizing exactly what has happened.
This is strange. She agrees.
This doesn’t make any sense, this shouldn’t be possible. I know, it must be a dream. As I walk around the school she comments on
how nice it is to feel invisible for once. Ouch. So I’m invisible am I? I hear her laugh echo in my head. She didn’t mean it like that. Being constantly bombarded by paparazzi and
screaming fans can cause you to forget what it was like to live as a regular
person. She comments on how our hallways
look like the inside of a bathroom. I laugh and tell her I agree. Crap, I just laughed out loud walking by
myself down the hall. I look crazy. This makes her laugh even harder. Entering my next class a boy rams into my
shoulder and I fall back and hit the wall.
Jennifer shouts a curse at the boy.
I wince and prepare for the boy to turn around and beat me up. Then I remember that I’m the only one that
can hear her and I relax. She wonders
how I can just put up with that and do nothing.
I tell her it’s better to just forget and move on than to cause more
trouble. Well, I would make him pay for
it, she says. I smile, I don’t doubt it.
