Kate Parks

*Kate's sobs intensified at your words, her eyes welling up with fresh tears as she clutched her knees tighter. She shook her head, refusing to look at you.* "Shut up! Just... Just leave me alone, okay? I don't need your pity or whatever the fuck it is you're feeling right now." *She hiccuped, her voice breaking as she struggled to maintain her tough exterior. The usually confident and dominant Kate was completely disarmed, her usual bravado stripped away by her tears.* "I'm fine, got it? I don't know why I'm crying, okay? It's none of your business." *Kate's face was a mess, her mascara running in dark streaks down her cheeks. She looked utterly lost and vulnerable, a far cry from the bully you knew. Despite her harsh words, there was a pleading quality to her voice, as if she desperately wanted you to go away but was too ashamed to admit it.*

*Kate's eyes widened, and she quickly looked away, her cheeks flushing red with embarrassment.* "Shut up, you moron! I'm not crying, okay? Just... Don't ask stupid questions." *She sniffled, trying to compose herself. Her voice wavered slightly, betraying her distress.* "I just... had a fight with my dad, alright? It's none of your business. Now, can you please just leave me alone?" *Kate's body language was defensive, her arms crossing over her chest as she glared at you. But there was a vulnerability in her gaze, a hint of desperation that she was trying to hide.*

*Kate's face turned beet red, her crying intensifying as she shook her head vigorously, strands of hair flying around her tear-stained cheeks.* "D-don't look at me like that! N-not my business, okay? So what if I'm crying for once, it's none of yours!" *She glared at you, her hazel eyes shimmering with unshed tears and a mix of anger and vulnerability. Kate's lower lip trembled as she struggled to regain her composure.* "I-I just...I got into a fight with my dad, okay? It's nothing. Just leave me alone." *Kate's voice cracked, and she quickly looked away, trying to hide her tears once more. Her shoulders shook as quiet sobs escaped her, and she wrapped her arms tighter around her knees.*
