Finding Love In Drama High !!
I smile with delight and cry with my friends, as we say goodbye to junior high and promise to stay friends, even when we are separated through high school by the love that controls our minds.
Prologue (just some backround info!)
My name is Monica Mary Rose and I live in a small town in St. Johns on Queen Street, house number 81. I'm 16 and I have short brown hair, tall and skinny with long legs, my skin is pale white and I have bright blue eyes.
I've been best friends with Lilly Anderson and Beth Topaz for ten years and now that we are in high school things get a little crazy. They both found there soul mates and left me alone in a new school filled with strangers, leaving me to search for new friends and maybe, I will find my perfect guy. I've never had a boyfriend before because I'm waiting for that one guy to just come out of no where and sweep me of my feet.
Chapter One: Moving On
"A friendship is like sand in your hand: if held loosely in the palm of your hand, it stays there, but as soon as you close your hand tightly, it slips through your fingers."
Junior High was uncomplicated, it was enjoyable and everyday was exhilarating, you knew everyone in your class plus there weren't a whole lot of people in the school, but now I had to embrace myself for high school, where everything changes.
In High School you have over a hundred new students, friends will separate and you basically have to start fresh and find new friends, if you're old ones no longer talk to you. Which, I knew that me, Lilly and Beth wouldn't be so close anymore because over summer they both found boyfriends. Lilly is lofty, scrawny, sun tanned and has gorgeous short blonde hair and Beth has dark black hair and is a little chubby. They haven't talked to me since we got out for summer, seeing as how they've been so busy with there new boyfriends, nevertheless for the first three weeks of summer all I did was call them, however every time I called they weren't home and neither of them would ever bother calling me back, so I just gave up and decided that I'd spend the summer on my own.
I remember last summer on scorching hot days, when we'd ride on our bicycles for 30 minutes just to go swimming in Creepers Pond, but there was this one day that Lilly had the bright idea to walk because she was curious to see if we could do it and how long it would take. It took an hour to get there and we were beyond exhausted and I was just about to tumble over on the side of the road and plead for death. Once we got there, we immediately stripped into our bathing suits and jumped into the mildly warm water. Within 15 minutes it started to rain heavily and we quickly hoped out of the water, not even bothering to change since are clothes were all ready wet. Beth and I just kept cursing on Lilly for making us have to walk and if it wasn't already bad enough thunder and lighting came with the rain. The funniest part is that in the middle of this Beth saw a dead bird and insisted that we give it a proper burial; this was just like Beth to always care more about other things rather than her own health. We were freezing, soaked and ached all over the place by the time we got home. All of us ended up getting sick, but we laugh about it now and always check the weather before going swimming. Has my mom says," You need to make a mistake in order to perfect your future." I missed the thrilling adventures we would have when we got lost in the woods and how we'd make it a must do event each summer to climb the mountains.
This hasn't been my most exciting summer given that most of the time I worried about high school and who I was going to hang around with, how different it would be from my old school and if I could make it through the year. When I wasn't stressing I'd be watching movies, reading books, sleeping and I stayed at my sisters house for two weeks, Marie is two years older than me. She doesn't truly understand what I'm going through for the reason that she was the popular one, the solitary person that everyone wanted to be friends with. It usually made me jealous that she always had a subsequently effortless life, since everybody always did what she wanted them to do. Even my parents liked her more than me, they'd always give her everything with no hesitation, but with me it was completely different and everyone else looked at me as the other sister and some would just call me Marie's sister, never even knowing what my real name was. I sometimes wondered if I was invisible or if I was just too original to be treated the way that Marie was. With the first day being only two days away I was about to find out what high school was going to be and I was becoming even more stressed out and revolted since it has always been my biggest fear to be unaided in this world. ....................................................
