My life transformed when I started school. Mom's joy was contagious as she prepared me for my first day.
She gave me the most beautiful bag I'd ever seen and styled my hair in a ponytail, making me feel like a princess.
But my excitement was short-lived.
On my way to school, I saw a blonde-haired boy smoking. He eyed me, but I ignored him.
My first day was awkward, with no one talking to me except Erica, who shared her snacks.
Her kindness sparked our friendship.
When I shared my experiences with Mom, she laughed and offered wise advice: "Ignore them, study hard, and come out first in class."
Her words resonated, and I became determined.
Every day after school, I devoured books, earning recognition as the brilliant girl.
Years passed, and I became everyone's favorite.
Then, Erica invited me to her 16th birthday party.
Mom initially refused, citing my age, but my persistence wore her down.
I wore a stunning gown, feeling like a sweet sixteen princess.
Upon entering Erica's home, all eyes were on me.
I felt shy, avoiding eye contact.
Erica's smile lit up as she hugged me tight.
"You look amazing, Alicia!" she exclaimed.
As I mingled with the guests, I noticed a familiar face – the blonde-haired boy from my first day of school.
Our eyes met, and I felt a flutter.
