The Life of a High School Girl

Ch.1) Where it all begins..

Hi this is my diary for the first month of High School. Being average isn't very exciting but heey, this is my diary I can write whatever I want, right? Now, let me introduce myself, my name is Silver Hastings I have long, brown, wavy hair, big and round hazel eyes, full lips. I don't consider myself pretty and I'm not particularly tall. I am 14 years old and am not a very big fan of school like the rest of the normal kids. I may not fancy school but I do enjoy being creative and I like being around my friends. I don't have many friends, but the friends I have are more than enough for me. I don't care if people judge me because I am proud of who I am. No I am not full of myself I'm just...me. 

Today is Monday. 

Usually I would be tired and worn out from the weekend, but for some reason today I felt fresh and energized. I had a feeling that something good was going to happen today. But it disappointed me when I saw my friends tired. I put an attempt to make them active but being them, they didn't seem to be bothered and so I gave up and went to my first class which happened to be German. I hated it, but strangely I was very good at it, without even trying. And no, I do not just sit there and listen to my teacher lecture away nope, that just isn't me. I would interrupt the teacher when he was 'meant' to say something funny but turned out to be a flop. So I’d modify the joke and absorbed everybody’s smile. I liked seeing people happy because it makes me happy. I know I sound corny but I can actually be very emotional at the same time.

German passed by fairly quickly.

Next period was Food Technology. It wasn’t fun at all. The teacher just made us do the same old basic things i mean, when will teachers learn that cooking vegetables just isn’t challenging anymore?! Something felt different today, it felt...empty. As I looked out the window, i noticed what it was. Where’s the sun? I looked around the room and a cold dark grey surfaced the room.

The sun gives you confidence and lets you know when no one is around you, look out the window because the sun will always be there for you.

My friends often tell me that I resembled the sun. Maybe because I had always seemed to be shining? But it wasn't really me. Soon lesson was over and i slowly headed towards Tutor Time. I noticed Ben standing near my locker and I felt my heart thud in my chest. His brown hair covered one of his aqua blue eyes with his perfectly slim and long body. Just as he leaned down to stroke Tracy's hair. My heart sank and I turned to walk the long way. Ben and I used to be close friends. Before Tracy. Flipping her stupid blonde hair around and showing off her beautiful boyfriend. She was beautiful though. Pink lips, long healthy blond hair, emerald green eyes. I was so jealous of her.

"What's up Silver?" I lifted my head up slightly and saw Ben with his perfect smile. My heart melted and I think he noticed and that made me blush a little. But I had never had feelings for him. I never have had feelings for any boys because they are useless and a waste of time for me.

"Hi." I replied with a small voice making him grin wider. He came closer to me and I felt as his hand gently touched my face and I closed my eyes and waited.

"Um, there was a leaf in your hair." I flung my eyes open and blushed like a rose. Crap.

"Um...I should go..." For a split second his smile faded and I seemed to see disappointment in his eyes. I think I'm just being paranoid. Then he suddenly smirked.

"Aww c’mon Silver. Can't you lighten up a bit? You seriously haven't changed at all from summer! Common, let's skip T.T. Want to go to our HQ?" He grinned widely and held out his hand. Memories rushed back and I felt a smile slowly crawling up my face as I placed my hand in his. I know he has a girlfriend but we're just hanging out as friends...right?
