Lia is a 16 year old girl going into high school. But guess what, she's the new girl. Great. As Lia attempts to survive high school, she discovers something about herself no one would have guessed. All it took was a couple heartbreaks.
I twirled around my room with excitement. It was 4:00 1 hour to go! I should probably start getting glammed up. I slipped into a white, off shoulder dress and just some plain white heels.

I put my hair into a braid crown and applied foundation, a bit of gold eye shadow, mascara and lip gloss. I checked the time and I was cutting it close, it was 4:30. I don't have a car so I'm going to have to walk there. I got up and smoothed out my dress. Everything is going to be okay. Don't be nervous Lia. I turned and walked out of my dorm. I began heading to the restaurant.
----------------------------After the walk there----------------------------
Good lord I finally made it. I entered the restaurant and was amazed. It had a red carpet, a polished, gleaming wood floor and all the chairs looked vintage. They all had beautiful red cushions with gold embroidery. I smiled and looked for Josh. I finally saw him. He was wearing a white dress shirt with a blue tie, and black formal pants along with black dress shoes. He looked amazing. I walked over and sat down.
Josh: "Hey Lia, you look really pretty."
"Oh shut up, you look great too!"
He smiled.
"It's really beautiful here. Thank you for suggesting this place."
Josh: "Of course, my pleasure."
A waitress walked over with a notepad.
Waitress: "Hello. Can I start you two off with a drink?"
"Sure."
Josh: "I'll have a coke please."
"And I'll have.. hmm, gingerale."
Waitress: "Alright, coming right up."
The waitress walked away and I turned back to face Josh.
Josh: "So, gingerale huh?"
"Yup."
Josh: "C'mon, we all know coke's better."
"Uh, no it's not."
Josh: "Sureeee"
We talked for awhile until the waitress came back with two cups of soda. She gently placed them down in front of us.
"Thank you!"
She nodded and walked off.
"So what're you gonna order?"
Josh: "Hmm, steak I guess. You?"
"Maybe spaghetti."
Josh: "Cool."
As we talked, I couldn't help but get lost in his dark blue eyes. Then, a male waiter walked up to us.
Waiter: "Hello, are we ready to order?"
I nodded.
Waiter: "For you, Ma'am?"
"I'd like the Spaghetti."
He wrote that down on his notepad before looking at Josh.
Waiter: "And you, sir?"
Josh: "Steak."
He wrote that down aswell.
Waiter: "Alright, I'll be back with those in about 20 minutes."
Waiter: "Your Spaghetti ma'am, and your steak sir."
Josh: "Thank you sir."
He nodded once more and walked away.
Josh: "This looks really good."
"Yeah."
I began eating and so did he. We began talking again.
Josh: "Y'know what? You can pay. I never liked you, and no one ever will. I won a bet, so I'm done. Cya later bubblegum bitch."
TW: Anxiety attack
I froze. All I heard was ringing. What? I thought he liked me? Then again, I put myself in this position. What had I expected? The waiter came over, and before I knew it Josh was gone. I stood up, shaking and just placed money down on the table for the waiter. I couldn't even hear his voice. I walked out and felt tears stream down my face. Just as I knew it, it started to rain. I began to slowly walk back to school. Thinking about Musa, Elias and now Josh. What had I done to deserve it? Am I that gullible? Am I an idiot? Why is this happening to me? Why can't I find anyone? Am I that naïve? Just, why? I opened the door to school and saw the bright lights. The intercom was going, talking about a storm. I didn't listen to most of it. I just heard 'get to your dorms asap'. I continued walking to my dorm. When I reached it I sighed. I know Jamie and Aliya aren't going to be happy. I entered my room and sat down on the floor. I curled up into a ball and continued to cry. Why me? First I get cheated on, then I get led on, then I get played. Why do people hate me so much? I cried, soaking my carpet but I didn't care. I didn't care at all anymore. I don't even have the energy to go to my bed. I give up. You win high school boys! Woo! Congrats!
