"Don't Cry" Part I

-9- Character

,

I avoided Bethany for 2 days. Spring break was up, I decided to focus on school. My best friends were Laurel, Duncan lo, Amy, Cody, Hannah, Rachel and Chad. I was sporty and imaginative, and a total car fan. Meanwhile, my girl friends were into makeup, gossip, and cliques sort of, all of that boring girly stuff. So yep, I was the oddball.

I'm never going to stop being myself. After all, what's the whole point in life if your living up to other people's expectations, if your not being yourself than in my opinion, your just not being who The Lord wanted you to be.

"Oh dear God, what my friends will say about this!" I groaned as I stepped into the doorway of QuestAcademy. ' Arghh just don't tell them.' They already thought I was a freak anyway. I'd never EVER tell anyone.

My hearing aids back than were nt much of a difference. I was getting good passing by, not having to understand what people were saying, due to a school-life filled with helpful passed out notes.

The lies and the pain are about to come. I was well prepared. I was deprived of girlfriends that I could talk to, maybe thats why I fell so hard.

I really don't get the whole point of fitting in. Because, I believe, that God's path for everyone is completely unique, and the more you follow it, the prettier it will to you and everyone else. Because, after all, it's Godly.

Sure ya, I will always be myself, but anyone really knows me, I am sure sucker for falling down with the wrong people.

"But I will get back up. I will not let anything get in my way. Hardships in life...aren't hard. They make me so happy! I am so loved!" Fore I knew I was going to be changed and prepared, I at the ceiling and shed a tear before trotting on into the room along with my tardy pass.
