She planned out each day of school in her head, either way she ended up terrified. School was scary. People there judge you, chew you up and spit you out. The stress, the teachers, getting in trouble, and kissing ass so you can get out of trouble. It was a hard being a high schooler. You wish you could go back to pre-kindergarten and just colour and nap all day, but you can't.
Arabelle looked on the bright side though, 2½ more years of this hell hole and she finally gets to be free of stupid, ignorant people. At first her schedule made her want to cry because she had no classes with her friends, not even the same lunch, but that soon changed. She went to the counsellor and told her, Ms. Venegas, that she didn't want to be in Guitar Class, that she'd rather take Driver's Ed. So Ms. Venegas changed her schedule as requested. Arabelle then had lunch with all of her friends. Umbriel, Alaska, and Julie. She was the closest to Umbriel, she's known her for 4 years now. Days pass by since the first day of school, it's now January. A new year. She met some new friends, one of them was Megan, and she got distant from some friends, one of them was Janice. In January Arabelle decided that she wanted to have a big Birthday Party for her 16th Birthday. Her parents tried their hardest to make it happen. They had 6 months to plan it so it was fine.
February. Valentines Day. All Arabelle could think was
" It's not Valentines Day. It's Friday, the 13th. Stop bringing your loved one a gift. It's gross. "
On that day she, of course, wore all black. She didn't care. A couple days pass by and she notices something
" Is that Abby making out with Logan? "
She asked Umbriel,
" Yes! I thought she was with Joel?! "
Umbriel was shocked, but Arabelle wasn't. Arabelle knew she was a whore since day one.
" Yeah. Should I tell him? "
Umbriel responded with a simple nod. Arabelle planned out how she would tell Joel that his girlfriend was cheating on him. How can you tell someone that their loved one is cheating on them? How could you just break that kind of news to someone? Well she did. She direct messaged Joel that night.
" You're with Abby right? "
a few minutes passed by before he opened the DM
" Yes, why? "
" Oh, because she was making out with Logan in first period ? "
Arabelle was shocked because one, she could have just ruined a relationship, and two, she was talking to a cute guy.
" Yeah, that's what we're fighting about ._. "
the conversation went on. They talked about Abby, and a whole lot of other things. Talking to Joel became a daily thing. Soon enough, she fell for him. When Arabelle catches feelings she doesn't keep them in; She wanted to tell everyone. She told Umbriel. A few days passed by, and she finally got the " lady balls " to tell him. She planned out everything, February 27th he DM'ed her
" I'm single lul ._. "
Arabelle couldn't believe it. The day she was going to tell Joel that she likes him, he suddenly becomes single. What a coincidence? She shared how she felt with him
" But i'm ugly cx "
" I respect you "
and,
" I think it was cute "
is what Joel had to say about Arabelle telling him she liked him.
Arabelle was embarrassed. She would have to see him everyday and know that he didn't like her back. That he had no feelings for her whatsoever.
March. Joel and Arabelle kept talking daily, they grew closer. Joel showed that he cared for Arabelle, and vice versa. Arabelle learned that Joel was unfaithful. He had a bad reputation with girls and all of Arabelle's friends would tell her that she shouldn't fall for him.
" He's a good guy, just not for you. "
A few days go by, guess what happens, Joel gets another girlfriend, Kasey, Arabelle thought she was beautiful. Arabelle felt like she didn't have a chance with him, not at all. She felt she couldn't compete with Kasey, she was too beautiful. March 30th, 2015 Arabelle realised that she was in love. She was in love with a boy she could not have, simply because that boy did not want her.
