The Bridge And Beyond

Chapter 1

I've always been quite a smart girl. I was reading at a senior level when i was in 7th grade. Im not the most extravagent, or eleagant. I've never been very attractive or skinny either. But I was okay with that. But my freshman year, I went down hard in grades. Not because I gave up, or I stopped caring, but because I was so traumatized. I had just lost my two best friends, due to sheer stupidity. One, Darla, got upset because I was spending less time with her. Then, jealousy, the oe thing that i've seen tear people to shreds and combust lives. Jealousy can ruin you. After she told me that she was sick of it, and didnt wanna be my friend anymore, she ran and told Barry, the girl she was jealous of, a bunch of scandalous lies. To this day, I still dont know what was said about me. I went down into a depressive spiral. Yet, I still had my smile. I tell you this as a summary of what happened, because these are just small details. The things that lead to me now, a very unhappy 16 year old. And because I didnt do well, I had to begin summer school. Which is where it all began. If you would prefer to read a happy story about love and hope, I would highly suggest reading a different story. This one is not for you
