The Story of my Life

Chapter 24

My idol is a man named Walt Disney.

My favorite quote from Walt Disney is "If you can dream it, you can do it."

Believe me, I've been dreaming all my life of all sorts of things.

The popular kids would stop bullying me, the school would burn down to a crisp, I could get my friends back, I could be in my dream college already, where not even my picky parents would bother me.

My crush would finally like me.

Not even ONE dream came true. Not even ONE.

I hate it here.

Seven, almost eight years ago, I moved to this place. I lived a tiny, but sustainable apartment with some of my best friends ever and a few mean but good hearted mentors.

Of course, I would have liked to have a bigger house somewhere nearer here, since I lost contact with every single one of my best friends.

Today in gym, Joao was stealing glances at me a lot. I don't know what it means. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing. I don't know if i'm still over what he did.

It made me feel really weird the way he kept staring at me. After gym, I went to the cafeteria to lunch.

I was minding my own business, helping Sanvi with the crumbs in her hair, when two of the most stupidest bullies in the entire school, and walked up to me and THREATENED ME.

They were doing that because I apparently "stole" someone's seat, and if I came back sitting at that table, they would make my life "living HELL".

I mean, what the heck, man!

Sanvi and Akshaya told me to go back, for my sake, just in case they did something disgustingly stupid. I know I'm always tough, and I fight.

But this time, I decided to listen. Tomorrow, I'm going back to Lily's table, since I have no other choice, AND since she misses me, AND since I don't want to risk it anymore.

God, WHY the HELL does life keep kicking me in the butt??

I just want to get out of here, go to college far away from this place, graduate, buy a house, find my one true love, and live happily ever after.

But OF COURSE, all fairy tales begin with a DARK BEGINNING.
