The Way My Life Sucks

Chapter 3

I walked in school that day feeling very confident.

"Hi, guys!" I said as I walked toward Gwen and Courtney's trio.

"OMG! What are you wearing?" Gwen screamed

"I thought you would like my new clothes," I said, suddenly feeling sad.

"No you look like a stripper, next up on '15 and pregnant'" yelled Courtney while all of the other girls were laughing at me and pointing.

I ran into the girls' bathroom and cried for what seems like an hour. I missed my first period. Damn.

I walked out of the bathroom wiping my eyes. I bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry," I apologized.

"It's ok!" said a boy. He was really cute. Tall, floppy hair, brown eyes, and a nice smile.

"Hi, my name is Johanna, but people call me Jo for short," I said.

"Hi Jo! I'm Peter. Peter Parker," he said holding his hand out to me. I shook it nervously and he just stared into my eyes. I quickly turned away.

"You are really beautiful," he said still gazing at me.

"Thanks, " I said nervously. "Well, I gotta get to class." With that, I darted down the hallway.

Oh my gosh, I thought to myself! He was a nice kid and all but he was hot too! And he called me beautiful!

"Hey, wait!" I heard a voice scream. I looked behind me and it was him. I turned away and just stood there, my heart racing.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?" he asked.

"S-sure," I said. He ripped a piece of paper out of his backpack and he wrote down his phone number.

"Call me," he said and walked down the hall.

I stood there, shocked. Maybe my life is starting to turn around.
