Uncharted Waters

Chapter 1: Single and Not Ready to Mingle

You may think I'm blunt, but let's get this over with. I'm scared of the opposite sex(I'm a girl in case you were wondering). My name is Melody, I'm a sophomore in high school. I have had one boyfriend in my life. God I hate middle school. I only dated him for a few hours, because it was a dare. And I, Melody Sonia Williams, never back out on a dare.

Anyways, I'm not one of those weak female figures who shakes when a boy's voice makes its way to her ears. No that's not me. It's different, I'm scared of dating. Chick before dicks. That's what I say when someone asks me about my refusal to date guys.

But it's honestly because I don't want my heart broken. My inner light is too bright to have some stupid teenage boy take it away from me(that rhymed :o). I don't want to be robbed, I want to be cared for with loving tenderness. But nobody I know keeps up with that standard. Most boys just want to get in a girl's pants. VIRGIN UNTIL MARRIAGE LADIES!!! There is nothing lame about that.

But I'm not alone in the world, I have a great friend group. My best friend, Serena, always has my back. She has light brown hair with natural blond highlights. Her eyes were stone cold blue, and every time you look at her face you are immediately captivated by them. She has had few boyfriends, none of them very serious. She's a dancer, just like me. I guess it's hard not to be best friends since we spend seven days a week together. Competitions are so abundant, we don't need social lives, we have each other(but yes I still manage to keep up with my social life).

But my friendships don't end there, I have good friend name Lynley. She has bright ginger hair that excentuate her pale eyes. I think they are gray but it's hard to tell they are so light. She's pretty shy around other people, but she's a total weirdo around us. Which I love about her, but she doesn't seem to want to expand her possibilities. Not that it gets much better than us.

Then there's Ericka. She's the wild one who never stops devouring attention. She has brown hair and simple facial features. She is constantly trying new hairstyles, types of outfits, or witty come backs. She has had more boyfriends than any mathematician could count. She's not afraid to show off her body, and if that's the type of attention she wants, well she's accomplished it. Don't get me wrong, sometimes she's a great understanding person, until she throws you under bus without a single glance back. No biggie, I just smile and be nice to her because that's taking the higher road.

If your wondering about me I guess I can tell you. I have gold blond hair, that shines all year round(thank the lord and pass the biscuits). My eyes are a weird hazel that change shades all the time. Sometimes it's blue or green, but I always have the gold ring around my pupil. I'm around 5'8 which isn't bad for a sixteen year old. I'm not especially fat or skinny, but then I do have abs from dance. You may think I just twirl around on my tiptoes but it is much more complicated than that.

I guess life was pretty good back then, and even if I didn't have a sweet boy holding my hand and whispering sweet things into my ear, I always had something else more important to think about. Which was all I really wanted, but of course life never stays on a straight line going uphill, all highs have a low. I can't tell if this part of my life was high or low, but anyway I'll tell you the story.
