All She Needs Is Empathy

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Hi am Tori Vega, am 16 years old, I go to Hollywood arts, I have a sister named Trina and a best friend named Jade. In this school, I and her don't fit in. No one ever listens when we talk everyone just ignores us. It is annoying, I feel like slapping them sometimes, like are we ghosts? Are we invisible? At home, am supposed to be the perfect child, even though Trina is the older one. Seriously they have the biggest expectations, and always tell me they are disappointed. Like if I disappoint you so much, why do you have such high expectations from me. I get it, mom, I a sorry!!! I only put the toothpaste before wetting the toothbrush once!!! Plus I was sleepy! let it go. Besides everyone in the school ignoring me, there is nothing else wrong with my life, though that makes a big problem. I think of it every day wondering how to get them to respect me enough to listen to me. I was in class when tr. introduced a new student. He was kinda cute. Maybe I can be friends with him. Make a good first impression, before he knows me as the socially awkward girl. Idk why but outside school, I make friends instantly, maybe it is because the people in this school are filled with high expectations, but outside, there are a lot of people out there that are just down to earth and approachable. I think I just need to show the confident people because I am. Am quiet, sure but not because am shy, but because I simply have nothing to say. After class I told Jade we should become friends with the new guy, his name is Beck Oliver. She thought he wouldn't wanna talk to us, but I went for it either way without her.

Me: Hey, I Am Tori Vega.
Beck: Beck Oliver
Me: Nice meeting you Beck, so do you think you will like it here in this school?
Beck: Yeah it is a great school.
Me: glad you like it, so do you have a specific thing you want to do here?
Beck: Yeah, I Luv acting
Me: Well am mostly here for the singing. They have awesome singing lessons. You try doing it as a new thing see how it is for you.
Beck: Oh no I don't sing.

I was just about to reply when some girl came and took over.

Girl: hey am Martha... and you are...
(Mumbles) of course. (leaves)

UGH!!!!! She could not see that I was right there???? Sometimes I just wanna hit people hard. Like I get it you think am a social outcast, but this social outcast was just about to make a new friend. The things I want to do to some people can put me in jail. Ok, Tori, deep breaths. You have lots of friends out of school, you don't need these annoying disrespectful people to be in your personal life.
