You gave ME your sweater

Heather

It all started back when I was new, I got kicked out of my previous school for bullying. I used to be a bit of a brat. Bullied some kids to even leave the school. I was the queen bee, I thought it was alright to hurt people because they weren't as perfect as me. Sounds stupid I know.

But I learned my lesson after a few months and decided to stay low. I've never even heard of Georgetown high school before. Must've been a random school, because before I used to go to the biggest and the most expensive high school. I'm not trying to sound bratty, I'm just stating facts you know. My mom was too frustrated to try and get me into a good high school again. So here I am, at Georgetown HS.

Today morning I definitely wasn't ready. I was just grumpy and tired of it all. I didn't want to face my fear. Walking through those halls was like torture, in 2 ways actually. One, the school smelt a bit. It was all just disgusting. But two, I felt a bit of guilt somehow. I just felt like I might be a that bad person again. Bullying people for my happiness, I didn't want that to be me anymore. I don't want to hurt these people I just saw. I never even knew how being afraid of something this bad felt like. Oh, I regret everything so much...The only thing I hope to do here is to find a good friend.

Anyways, as I walked to find my locker, everyone was just staring. Like they'd never seen someone like me before. I didn't like the attention after my decision of you know, not wanting attention and not being a bully. It was everyone, the jock boys, the nerd boys, the hopeless boys. Even girls, not just in a "wow" way stare. But like "I wanna date you please" stare. I just didn't like any of the stares. There were so many people in the hallway, for once I felt intimidated.

Too many emotions in one day, and all of them new? Jeez, I might be really changing...

Y/n: Hey, I heard you have English with ms Westerman, wanna sit next to me?

Another girl: Hey I've got the coolest stationery, I can also lend you some?

Random people coming up to me asking for stuff and telling me things was just like before. I wish something would've changed since I moved. *sigh*

I just felt like I wanted to storm off and start bossing the kids around because they thought I was just some quiet, pretty lady they could take advantage of. But I held myself back, I wanted to change, I couldn't be that "bad heather" again.

Teacher: Calm down everyone, we have a new student. Heather take a seat, you've got a ton of choices.

The class just sat there with their puppy eyes waiting for me to sit next to them.

I was so confused, so many people wanted ME to sit next to them, I didn't want to sit next to anyone. If only they knew my terrible side. And if only they knew the damage I could cause... So I finally chose to sit alone. Everyone's face now was "oh well, ugh". The class seemed a bit boring. In my old school, I would never pay attention in class as a jerk. I would just annoy people or ship people during every single class. Huh, I remember when we made fun of those 2 losers in gym class. But it isn't funny anymore cuz they stopped coming to gym class...

Fast forward to the last lesson, my most hated. MATHS! Why was maths last? I just wanted the day to be over with already. The stares were too much for the past 5 hours. I sat alone again and right when the class was about to start,

The teacher said, "Oh we have another new student, Diana, do you want to introduce yourself?"

Diana: Hey guys, I'm Diana and I'm new, cant wait to make new friends!!

She just had big energy in her, she was so positive and confident. The introduction was enough for me to be friends with her. Once she finished saying some more things, she came and sat with me. I felt like she was genuinely nice you know? Her dark hair, those grey eyes, the smile, and confidence, she was just perfect. I guess that's how people felt about me, but Diana was better than me definitely. She looked smart I guess, maybe I could get some help with that. 

Diana: Hey, I heard you were new here, you're beautiful btw ;)

Me: Omg thanks, Yeah, I'm Heather

Diana: Nice to meet you Heather
