it was in the fall, school was starting. it was my first day. i hated going to school. i felt lost and alone all the time. i was going to a new school, where i knew no one, and everyone already knew each other. everything was so alien to me. i only knew one person, my best friend since the fourth grade. i rarely ever talked, but i managed to say a few things here and there to some people.

i always felt awkward and weird, as if everyone was just staring at me. i didnt like that feeling. i missed my friends very much. id do anything to get them back.

{ a few days later }
i got to my fourth period. ive made it that far in the day. it was my favorite class, art, but that wasnt the only reason it was my favorite hour of the day. there was a guy. a guy who id find myself staring at sometimes. and sometimes id catch him staring at me as well. he gave me this weird feeling, a feeling people call "butterflies".
