hey my name is Claire and if you want to know about me well here goes... there's not much to tell but i'm currently a sophomore in college i live at home with my parents and my darling older sister... yeah right darling my sister is a bitch and loves to show me in so many way how much better she is then me and you'd think alright your life cant suck that bad she'd never have the balls to say awful things in front of my parents yeah right.. my mom practically agrees with everything that comes out of Darcy's (the bitch sisters name) mouth shes mommy's perfect little angel not the ugly mistake i'am well can you blame my mom not really and i know how this sounds but hear me out Darcy is every bit like my moms dream come true skinny, cheerleader, dancer, popular, and has always kinds of boys dropping everything to get her attention and no one shuts up when talking to my mom on how beautiful Darcy is  and what wonderful daughter she is so can you really blame her you see when my mom was young she was a model and honestly i believe she still thinks she is and is still in those days if you walk into our house she literally has a section of her awards, photographs, and interview clips ughh so stupid so when she had kids you can see she wanted us to continue her legacy which is perfect for Darcy but me not soo much  she literally despises everything about me best compliment she can give is yes that's my other daughter how nice huh i mean if were being truthful she could at least say im a better dancer then Darcy because i take it seriously whole Darcy just thinks be pretty will cut it but in my mother's eyes I'm fat so that doesn't make me any better i'm also smart and can sing pretty well but no she couldn't find those things to say about me just the other daughter but enough about them i could bitch about those 2 any day but my dad hes not so bad he doesn't allow Darcy to walk all over me and never sees me as less then to him he makes sure to tell me I'm beautiful just the way I am and have a lot going for me but in today's world when you have to hear negatives in the streets and at home it tends to get to you but he is also there to brighten my day honestly can say i'm his favorite and we connect so well i think i would've died already if he ever left me. So if I could pin point why my mom dislikes me so I would say it's because I resemble everything she is not and hates that she wasted her pregnancy on someome resembles her sister which she doesn't get along with but I love her she is the greatest I can't believe she's related to my mom but enough with the family drama. Me and darcy go to Trinity college pretty average college but honestly it feels like it's just like high school you can hear everyone business you have your cool ones like my sister or others I've been stuck in this place for too long I really wanted to go out of state for college but my mother said hell no and asked me to drop that idea immediately so of course followed in big sis foot steps but don't get me wrong there is one good thing I got was my best friend Jordan she was the person I never knew I needed before she came to our school I was alone and made fun of and ended worse part was being made fun of by my own sisters group and she never did anything until one day I was by my locker and typical Katie and Lauren came up to me
Katie- oh look it's the waste of space
Lauren- or her parents biggest mistake
Me- please leave me alone
Katie- I know your fat self isn't telling us how to entertain ourselves
Lauren- mhmm how about this
She grabs the books in my hands and throws it on the floor
Katie- how about you pick it up she yells
I roll my eyes and look around  and everyone is chuckling looking at me especially my sister who is on the other side of the lockers shaking her head
I'm about to accept defeat and bend down someone grabs my arm hard and I turn and look what happened
Girl - how about you ugly bitches pick it up since you dropped it
Lauren- excuse me who are you
Girl- you're worse fucking nightmare if you don't pick her shit up that you dropped
Katie- you clearly don't know who you're talking to
Girl- no you clearly think I give a fuck or I'm scared of you the answer is NO I'm not or I can embarrass you some more with you meeting my fist
Katie- Lauren pick it up and let's bounce
Lauren bends down and grabs my stuff and actually hands it to me
Everyone else heads to class or just turns around
Me- umm thank you so much I smile
Her- eh whatever
And she walks away so I close my locker and run after her the best I could, I know this sounds bad but a chance at new friend I l dont want to pass this up honestly  speaking having someone would be nice so I see her enter the office to get her schedule
Employee- here you go Ms. August ah look miss Fanning is here she can give you a tour
She looks at me shrugs and we exit the office
Me- so ms August
Her- haha no the names Jordan
Me- oh cool nice to meet you
Jordan- cool I guess Ill ask for you name
Me- uhh claire
Jordan- so I'm just going to ask you like taking people shit
Me- nooo but I don't know what to say or do
Jordan - how about you dish it back
Me- I guess but wouldn't they just be worse
Jordan- you can't show them your scared and most importantly fuck them
Me- oh okay.... So wanna be friends
Jordan- I don't really do friendships
Me- but having good friends is important
Jordan- do you have any
Me- well no
Jordan - my point exactly
Jordan- hang in there girl people usual pick on people because they are envious
We walk in to her class and she goes to the back while I go to the front it's the only class we have together so I probably won't see her till the next day why is this so difficult for me its like no seems to find me good enough even for friendship... It's lunch time and I wait in line for my food and then go sit down alone at my usual table and watch
Sooo you're Claire Fanning and your sister is pricy bitchy Darcy Fanning.
I look up at Jordan when she sits next to me
Me- umm yess how did you find out
Jordan - lots of gossip here and I have many classes with your sister
Me- yeah she's not the brightest decided to slack off last year so she's playing catch up
Jordan - I noticed and your buddy drew told me he's quite annoying
Me- umm me and drew aren't friends
Jordan - is he dick to you
Me - no but like we only wave or partner together in classes
Jordan- sooo it's good I said no to a date with him
Me- he asked you out
Jordan- yeah but I told him I'm gay
Me- but are you
Jordan- no but I wanted him to stop right there
Me- so why are you telling me all this
Jordan- because you and me are going to be friends
Me- but I thought you said...
Jordan- drew told me if there's one good person in this school it's you and I stuck up for you like a friend so I should give it a chance to blossom as ridiculous as that sounds
I smiled at her she has no Idea how good it felt so if I could explain my best friend Jordan in a nutshell she's hard in the beginning but once your in she's is literally the best sister you could ever have
So if you could guess my life got better once she moved to this school we re inseparable and we had so much in common except what I was thinking she was saying aloud and if I might add watching everything she went through before officially dating drew was hilarious I have never met a girl so sure about rebuking a relationship while a guy is trying so hard to end up together I honestly love them together and with Drew now in the group I got more friends he has an older sister Anya who also attends school here and she's a cheerleader like Darcy but actually super nice which is rare in this town so my bubble was expanding and boy was I happy but while they brought me happiness let's just say there's another side to the Edward's family that will drive me insane once they arrive!
