A new school year is always exciting because it's like a fresh start and I need a fresh start.
Throughout my life I always loved school whether it was because I was always learning new things or because of the...

Well that was it. 

I didn't really have any friends. People I spoke to occasionally sure but someone who considered me a friend not really.

As I make my way to school I can't help but notice how many kids there are this year.
That's makes me anxious.

They're people just look you Addy I tell myself. As I walk through the front door a familiar vibe hits me.

Here we go

I got my schedule about 2 weeks ago and as I head to home room I'm suddenly stopped by...

"Omgggg Hey ADD ADD" Natasha yells in my face with an over exaggerated tone. 

She pulls me in for a hug. A very tight HUG.

I shift uncomfortably. Don't get me wrong I love hugs. In fact touch is my love language. But maybe just not her hugs since they don't feel real.

Okay that's mean Adeline don't say that. 

"Where have you beennnnn ?" She asks 

"Oh uh AROUND" I yell the last word as if she couldn't hear me. 

Maybe this is why people don't talk to me. That's just self pity.

After an awkward silence "Okay well I'm gonna head to class" I say fondling with my bag. 

Natasha already distracted just walks away.

Okayyy

I loved today. I said hello to all my old teachers and I even spoke to a new girl today.
It was a pretty good day.

As I close my locker I can just feel Natasha's presence once again. We don't really have the same classes so I don't really see her. She walks towards me and says 

"So listen there's this part today it's like and welcoming to the New Years- Bruce is hosting the party so it should be lit andddd your coming" 

Wait what-
"Oh Um parties aren't really my thing I think I should just-" 

I try to explain that my dad would beat me if I came home late but I couldn't really say that and she knows that I don't work Monday's so I just stand there awkwardly.

"Bitch your coming I don't want to hear it and your wearing a dress" 

" I don't have any" I mumble 

It's true all my dresses aren't really Party attire. And I haven't really shopped for anything extravagant since...

She looks at me with pity in her eyes...dear god I don't need this right now. 

"It's okay I guess. I'm pretty sure I have something in the back of my closet pretty sure I have a spare" She says quickly and then tells me to meet her at her house at 5:30. 

I tried to back out I really did but she pressured me until I couldn't say anything at all. Not to mention the party was at Bruce's. Bruce has had a knack for bothering me. He's tried to hit on me repeatedly but I always rejected or brushed it off. He stopped trying but I don't miss his sly winks. I shudder just at the thought of it.
