My Best Friend

Chapter 1

My whole life I have always wanted to be a somebody, and I could never ever figure out who I was. I just started the 7th grade and don't really have any close friends to hang out with, I mean yeah we talk in all but we just aren't like "best friends" yet. I never really found my BFF until my 8th grade year, but we'll get to that sooner or later. ;)
Here I am in the 7th grade, thinking I'm all big and bad because I got a locker for the first time in my life and I'm actually in middle school. Well sorry to burst your bubble but it's actually not that great, yeah the first few days are neat but then you get into the routine... Wake up, feed your face, get undressed, then get redressed (what a waste of time), brush your teeth, brush your hair, get on the bus, then get your first period books and go to first period, then second, then third, then fourth, and so on. It gets pretty boring after a while, and I was always late. The homework wasn't that great either, there was nothing better than staying up late every night just to do your homework, but I was fine with it actually, it wasn't all that terrible...
Finally Christmas break is here and we are able to join all these clubs and I didn't join any. I was just that one kid that sat in the corner and did nothing. I guess no one really did like me because I always made myself look stupid, even though I was fairly smart. Well I guess I had this crush on this kid, what was his name? Was it Christopher or was it Mat? I'm not really sure. I think it was Christopher, but anyways he was nice, we were in the same hallway and in the same band class and he had these dreamy blue eyes, I would do anything to meet him, but guess what I messed things up so badly. And that is when I joined marching band...
It was my first marching band practice and there are a lot of people I don't know. I'm not really sure what to do, but of course I'm the only girl percussionist so I had to sit there with a bunch of lame boys. But Christopher was there, playing his instrument, looking all cool and ooh he's so cute. "WAIT!! DID I JUST CALL HIM CUTE?!" "MAKAYLA STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF! YOU'RE GONNA LOOK WEIRD!"
"Christopher, Brayden, Sam, Mat, Andre, Brett, Makayla,.." said Mrs. Bollera.
*(cough cough)* "Huh what?!" I replied.
"Shhh! We are doing attendance." whispered Andre from his quads.
Well what a nice guy, but I cannot believe I have a crush on this dude! He has a girlfriend! What do I do? Why am I flipping out?! "Makayla stay calm, breathe." I whispered to myself trying not to go into a full on panic attack right there, on the spot and make a complete fool out of myself. I was so scared, we played our first band game and that was "The Knot Game" (basically you got in this big circle and held hand with the person across from you and you had to get untangled without letting go of each others hands.) Well I held his hand and I about melted, he was so.. so... I don't even know how to explain it right now, am I really crushing on this guy, I mean I know we won't get married but still.
Well about 9 months have passed and marching band season was well over, and I swear everyone there thought I was a complete dummy. But it's May now and school is almost over, but I still don't have that many friends sadly, only Emmally... but I know one of these days I'll meet the one friend that will never let me go. So far Emmally has been there for me, even though she is on a grade lower than me. She is the only redhead I know at this moment and she's my only friend at the moment. Well the last day of school comes and it's really upsetting for me because I don't want to leave I mean I know I don't really see Emmally after and during school but we talked, and I'm scared I'm never going to see her again......

Tune is for my next chapter, I hope you liked this one!
