I know this very moment I have to do something. Something that wil get my grades up.
I run out of school a few minutes before school ends, and I go home. My palms are sweaty. My breathing is heavy. I'm crying. I've let books take over my life.
Sure, I'm an extreme fangirl. But this has gone too far. I tell myself, Mackenzie, you need to put the books on hold. Read schoolbooks, not fandom books.
I pull out some schoolbooks, I study, and write down some notes.
I continue this for a few weeks, reading a bit of fandom books in between.
My teacher comes to me a few weeks after I get my report card. She says, "Mackenzie, your grades have gone up, I can tell you've been studying. You currently have straight A's."
My teacher gives me all of the books in the Percy Jackson series. I'm sure I'm dreaming, because I really wanted that book series. I pinch myself really hard to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Ouch. Definitely not dreaming.
I thank my teacher, and hug her tightly.
This is what being a fangirl is like.
