I WAS ALWAYS "THERE"

She's not the class clown.
She's not the pretty one.
She's not even the mysterious quiet type.
She's just... there.

Gwen has always been the extra - the one people forget, the one cropped out of group pics, the one used, but never chosen. Since Grade 7, she's lived in the background of her own life: quiet, soft-hearted, shy, and constantly left behind.

But when the "friendship" she clung to turns out to be fake, Gwen is forced to face the truth: no one really saw her in the first place.
And the worst part? She still wishes they did.

This is not a glow-up story.
This is not revenge.
This is what it really feels like... to be invisible,
and still hope someone might notice you anyway.
