This story is about 16 year old Ashley Ramirez. Everyday she would put on her fake face, so nobody would know that she's hurt inside. (Bases off "Her last words" By Courtney Parker)
"Mija get ready for school." Ashley's Grandmother told her.
"Yes Nana." Ashley replied
She had gotten ready for school that morning and said her goodbyes to her family. She walked to her bus stop 2 minutes later.
"So Ashley... How's it going? What ya been up to this weekend?" Her best friend Veronica asked.
"Oh nothing, just helping around like usual." She softly chuckled.
They had arrived at school 30 minutes later.
"Why were you so late Ms. Ramirez and Ms. Cruz?" Their teacher Mr.Lopez asked.
"Oh you know how slow Mr. Peterson the bus driver is when driving." Veronica said.
The class laughed, Ashley smirked.
"Ok enough clowning around Veronica." Mr. Lopez said.
"Yessir!" She yelled.
They sat in their seats.
After class was over they went lunch.
"Ashley you haven't been the person that i have known since grade school, are you alright?" Asked her best friend Maria.
"Yeah i'm fine..." She said while smiling.
"Okay whatever you say Ash.." Said Veronica.
The school bell rang after the school day was over.
"Ugh finally we're done with that hell hole!" Yelled Maria.
Veronica and Ashley smiled. Maria walked home, Veronica and Ashley went on the bus. 15 minutes later Ashley got dropped off at her stop, and went home.
"Nana im home!" Ashley yelled.
"Okay mija help yourself with some tamales!" Her nana yelled back.
Ashley went to her bedroom and put her bags down.
In her mind she thought "Im soo glad the school day is over... But i still need to smile so that nobody knows or can see my pain.... Another painful day with fake smiles."
