I love the feeling of water on my back. it just makes me feel free. Like theres nothing else to be thinking about except the water and the stroke. I love just feeling like theres nothing to worry about. For the hour I am swimming in I feel on top of the world. Happy, free. But that hour ends too quickly.

I usually find myself talking to Kayla but I cower away each time Liam comes over to compliment kaylas swimming techniques and ask for advice.He never seems to notice me. It's always kayla cos I am just Cady. shy, quiet girl with a freak brother. Kayla is everything nice and goodness only an idiot would pass her without saying hello.

I sometimes wonder how it was that me and kayla were to be best friends. We literally only have a handfull of things in common. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I love her so much as my best friend and couldn't ask for a better one. I just feel like I am holding her up. Like maybe she doesnt want to hurt my feelings but deep down she hates me or is sick and tired of my pessimistic side and wants me to be like her. It's a shame that I won't.

I picked up on the fact that Liam and Kayla have been getting closer and I can't help the jealousy. I mean it's not like they are best friends (yet..) but they must be good friends by now. It's been a few months since Liam joined and he has mainly been hanging out with Kayla and Zac. Since Zac is his best friend and Kady is Zac's sister. 

He is also hanging out with a few kids from drama. Not me though. I am talking about Mitchell and Chase. The two heart throbs of the school. Soccer players and prom king try outs. Have the two hottest girls in the school fr girlfriends and have some life of riches and cars and designer brands and all that good stuff.  I'm glad Liam is getting used to them. But I'm not sure if it will be for long. Chase and Mitchell are in drama as a punishment after they tried to set their classroom on fire on mock  up day. So sooner or later they will leave and graduate and bam bye bye popular kids.

But I suppose even if that happens Liam will still be an all-round popular guy. He's been hanging out with the cool kids. It's so annoying how I've been in the school for years and am already more unpopular than a guy who joined a few months ago.

Kayla's feelings for him have kinda evolved into 'I think he is quite a nice friend' rather than 'god he is so fit' and she's kinda ignoring me now he's into her life. She is with all the popular kids now and I'm with Albert and Viola - school nerds.

Albert and Viola are not too bad it's just I learn more than enough in class to be bombarded with more facts about hydrogen at lunch.

Drama is on thursday and it's auditions for the school annual play. This year it's romeo and Juliet and guess who is auditioning :

Romeo : Liam Reese, Jake Mathews, Brian O'daniels , James Smith, Leo O' daughnery , Zachary tyson

Juliet : Kayla Tyson, Bernice Feldman, Cady andrews, Bethany albert, courtney albert. Viola braisk

So I have no chance. Kayla would be the perfect Juliet, Liam the perfect romeo. I can just see it now. Him kissing her softly and beautifully for the scene and instantly they'd fall in love and be a couple and marry in the future and live happily ever after. And then there's me. Lighting person, single, forever alone, office worker.

Great.

In the mean time. Add on Kayla and Liam to the popular list. But a few people aren't happy with this. For example Zac. Kayla's brother. He started to talk to me properly the other day. He thinks kayla shouldn't just run off to be all popular..........He also said something that broke my heart.
