if you haven't noticed already I'm not very popular at school, everyone shuts me out for the stupidest things. People tell me different reasons, it's for the way I dress, my personality and the number one reason, because I don't want to hang out with some fake white girls who will just pretend to like me for things. My mom owns the drive-in so people try to get free tickets from me and my brother's, but I just ignore it. I'm in the middle I'm an outcast but at the same time I'm not, I just blend in.
the thing about having a popular athlete for a boyfriend is that people will talk to you only for him or they will purposely be mean to you because they want him, me personally I don't take that shit. Like a month ago some girl let's call her Tina, Tina was a popular, pretty white girl basically the mean popular girl. She found out that I was dating Bruce and I guess she liked him too so she started to talk to me about him, just asking how we met and stuff like at that. Honestly I knew that she was just trying to be nice because she wanted him, it was all over her but after a while she started to get petty with me and I knew what I had to do. She walked up to me with her friends in the hall and calle me a beaner, a beaner. God if she was trying to name call me make something original, but I had enough of it. I pulled her hair to the ground and she went smack! I went on top of her and kept punching her until a teacher showed up. Luckily I got off punishment free, they didn't even call my mom because I told them that she called me a beaner and pushed me.
"I wa just defending myself." I said. which was true, you poke the bear, it's going to fight you. she got suspended for a week for bullying and when she came back, she didn't bother me or Bruce again. She lost all her social status for being racist and I'll say it again. She had it coming, she shouldn't have picked a fight with me. Now when i see her in the hallways she avoids me like she's afraid of me. Good. You may be thinking, araceli what did Bruce think of this? Well he was actually happy that I "beat that bitch up." as he said
after that happened and the party nothing really happened, it was fine until in the day before new years. as always someone has a party for the holiday, this year it was Ruby Davis, the head of the school newspaper. Ruby and me are childhood friends so she invited me, she didn't invite Alison though because they never talk but I put her as my plus one so she could go. Bruce was also going, thank god because last time I went to a party without him I actually did a crime. Speaking of the Halloween party, I've seen Vance almost everyday but he doesn't really talk to me anymore only for asking for a pencil or something. But I admit that I miss hanging out with him, it was fun being thrilled with him but I know I can't. Me and Bruce are going great right now, it seems like everyday he loves me more and more, he's the perfect guy and I'm lucky to be with him. If I see Vance I'll just go the other way, I know I basically said that last time but it didn't really play out that way, but this time I'm not going anywhere with him I swear on my love for horror movies.
the night comes and I don't need to sneak out or anything because my mom is working the drive-in today since it's busy and my brother's are with my dad for the week in London so I'm home alone. I get ready normally because it's a casual party, so I wear this.

I think it's cute. I hear a honk outside, it's Bruce. He got a car last week, now we can go anywhere without walking. I get outside and see him leaning on his car waiting. I walk to him and kiss him.
" hi, wow you look stunning celi." " I could say the same thing about you." he opens my door for me like the gentleman he is and we drive off after. We arrived at Ruby's house and there is loads of people, I think she invited our rival school like from the last party. I suddenly thought of something I forgot about.
" oh wait Bruce, I have to tell you something." "ok what is it?" " at the Halloween party that kid Finney Blake came up to me asking for you but after the party I forgot to tell you." " that's it? hm well maybe he's here." He smiles at me and we walk in together. The party was ok, there was people playing spin the bottle and 7 minutes in heaven but we obviously didn't participate. We just hung out together on the roof most of the night just talking and laughing, we were at the party for about 3 hours when Bruce sees the Finney kid so we go to talk to him. He was with this other boy with long hair, he looked familiar, I think I've seen him fight some kids on the way to school a few times.
" HEY FINNEY!" Bruce yells at him getting his attention. " for the last time Bruce, you can call me Finn but how are you man?" " I'm good just hanging out with my girlfriend tonight. You?" " I'm ok, I'm just with my friend. Robin this is Bruce, Bruce this is Robin." " hey man nice to meet you." " nice to meet you too man. OH Finn, you've met my girlfriend right?!" " yea we talked a bit on Halloween." " aw cool, well Robin this is my girlfriend if it wasn't obvious haha." " Hi Robin,I'm araceli." " cool to meet you too araceli." " hey I think I know you, I've seen you fight before." " oh probably, I kind of fight."
Bruce interrupts our conversation.
" oh we got to go guys, bye Finn, bye Robin." he says dragging me out of there to the roof.
" what was that about? are you jealous of that Robin kid?" I say taunting him. " NOTHING. AND NO! I'm not jealous, we just needed to go. " he says blushing while being defensive. "Ok if you say so." I kiss his cheek and we just have a good, calm night. I never saw Alison at the party but I didn't think about it till after. It was about to turn midnight and we were going to do the countdown. Ruby makes a whole speech about something and the countdown starts from 10.
Confetti comes down, I take Bruce's face and kiss him deeply. After that we had a great time before we went home. It was a great night and it was officially 1982!!! Bruce drives me back to my house to drop me off, and I get ready for bed feeling so tired. I fall asleep forgetting about everything that was troubling me.
