That night my mom didn't ask how my day was, she went straight to bed. I'm already stressing out over tomorrow, new classes and new people. I make myself a movie tray dinner and stare out the window. I'm ready for bed but I know then morning will come too fast, so I stay up till midnight where I finally fall asleep in the living room.

I'm awakened by the garage door, so I know my mom is leaving for work, I take my time getting up and ready, I really don't want to go to school today. After an hour I start my walk to school. I take a long way, a very,very long way.

The school day starts and I'm tired. It shouldn't be a surprise, I have a class with Olivia again today and she introduces me to her friend Grace, Grace is very taller than me. I learned she plays volleyball and that makes sense. What I like about Grace is that she actually listens to me, Oliva is always on her phone when I talk to her and I know she's never actually paying attention to me, Grace is different. I think I am going to be really good friends with her.

September came and went faster than I thought we were already a month into school. I don't mind coming to school as much as I thought, but I'm getting more class work every week, but it's October now and my favorite holiday is approaching, Halloween. Not much of an update on Colin's end. He's talked to me once in the gym but it's nice to be in his presence again, even if we don't say anything to each other anymore.

It's Sunday Evening and I haven't even started on my homework, I also haven't seen my mom yet. Today her door has been shut since I got up. I keep seeing my classmates doing things together on the weekend. I never get invited. Sometimes it hurts when you realize you aren't important to the people you thought you were. But it will be okay... I really hope so.
