I always hated school, everything about it made me want to escape. The stupid lessons, annoying teachers, mean bullies and damn work! Especially the fact that I wasn't very popular and I only had a few close, but great, friends. They were the best friends anyone could ever ask for! We were inseparable, Ella, Annie and me; Scarlet. Ella was the tall one, she had straight brown hair down to her shoulders and brown eyes. She was also quite tanned and had glasses, she was very thin and she was really smart. Whereas Annie had curly platinum blonde hair just past her shoulders and emerald green eyes. She was medium height and quite thin, not as thin as Ella though. She was quite pale and not very smart. Then there was me; I had wavy dark blond hair that went halfway down my back and blue eyes. I was also medium height and quite thin, I had a bit of a tan from the summer and I was kind of smart too.
We all had different interests of course; Ella was smart and sporty, Annie liked fashion and acting and I liked singing and writing. But we were best friends, and they were my only friends. It wasn't that I was ugly or annoying, smart or stupid. It was because I was shy, I had no self confidence. There were many reasons for this, part of the reason was that, just as I was starting high school, my dad died in a car accident. It hit me hard and I had no-one. I was an only child and my mum was crushed and wouldn't come out of her room. Ella and Annie tried to understand, but things went on for them. They don't have to go through it, the pain of walking through the door to an empty house and, when your mum gets home, a mum who locks herself away and doesn't talk to you. I hide it all behind a fake smile when I'm with them, but the truth is I cry myself to sleep every night. My friends are the only things holding me together, keeping me from falling to pieces.
All my life I've dreamt of being popular and bad, but I'm just not cut out for it. I'm always good, I always have been, I always thought I would be. I always did my homework on time, I tidied my room, I done all the work at school and always behaved myself. No matter how mean the bullies were to me, I kept silent, done nothing. That's what I done my whole life, how could I change?
