I liked, I admit, that we didn’t pretend there hadn’t been other girls. There was always a girl on you in the halls at school, like they came free with a backpack.
I am treated no different than the other girls.
It was only recently that Isabelle had realized other girls weren’t just for envying, avoiding, or disliking.
I'm not a full model like those other girls. Mostly I was surprised that I could hang.
