Picking the Wallflower

The email app on my phone pinged. Since it was linked to my blog, it was normal. What wasn’t normal was what was in the email.

Hi Em

Such a funny thing happened today. We hope you comment on it!!

Underneath the email was a video attachment. The nausea crawled through me as I realised what it was. A video of my humiliation, taken with a smart phone by one of the cheerleaders who had been on the field with me. I didn’t watch it, but I had an idea.

Once I was settled, I began to write.
