"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life."~Steve Jobs
"It all started 6 years ago... "Daddy do I really have to go to school?" I asked already knowing the answer. "Bubblegum I already told you about 25 times. Today is your first day of middle school you can't miss it." He said fixing the bow on my braid. Yes I wore bows in the fifth grade. Every girl did in my mind. "Oh my gosh. It's not that big of a deal." I said rolling my eyes. My dad looked at me and smiled. "Awwww my baby is all grown up. You look more beautiful than ever. Just always remember you are beautiful." He kissed me on my forehead. "Now go stand in driveway so I can take a picture of you bubblegum" He said while we were walking out the door. At this moment in time I felt like was worth something. I wasn't depressed at this age. I was actually happy. My life felt complete. I didn't need anything. Anyways... My dad drove me to school. The closer we got to the building the more nervous I got. It was a new building. A new feeling. A new environment. And I sure as hell wasn't looking forward to that. As I was getting out of the car I noticed my dad was to. Having my dad walking me into school on my first day wasn't the best idea. No I wasn't ashamed of him. I loved him. I still do love him... It just... Okay let me quit jumping around and go back to the story. "Dad what are doing? No don't walk me into school." I said kind of aggressively. "Bubblegum come on. 'It's not that big of a deal'. Once... well, all the time used by the smartest little girl I know." We both laughed. "Dad I love you and all but let me do this one on my own. I can handle this." I said with a huge smile on my face. "Hmmm" he said while he gave me a sideways look. "Fine Bubblegum. Just call me if anything goes wrong." He said while getting back into the car. "One more thing." I said sticking my head into the window. "Yes?" He said smirking. "Please don't call me Bubblegum here." I said while I laughed. But I wasn't joking I was serious. "Okay bye............"
Did you think I was about to you guys my name? No that's not happening. Stick around it'll slip out sooner or later. Maybe not at all. Who knows? For now let's just call me 'Sarah'. If you are wondering why I'm jumping around everywhere well it's because I have ADHD. Sorry I can't really stay focus but hey... you'll get your story sooner or later. Just wait. Oh and also please do not twist up my story or I will be very upset if you do and when I find out. You'll find out what I'm capable of and what I can get away with. I'm a really nice girl until lies come around. Okay anyways back to the story everyone.
I walked into school and there were already groups. I didn't think I belong with any one of them. I was my own person. I felt empowered. I felt like I didn't need anyone to be my friend. I was walking to find my class I was really deep into thought for one second I looked down at my shoes to make sure they were tied. And then I bumped into someone dropping all my books. There stood a tall guy he was at 5'2". You have to remember I was only in the fifth grade and I was probably only around 4'9" myself. So that was consider tall to me at the time. Well it still is tall considering I'm only 4'11" now. He had like a light brown hair color like close to a blonde. He had hazel eyes, like they were really cute. He wasn't skinny but he wasn't chubby. I would say that he was buff but like come we were in the fifth grade that would be giving him way too much credit. I stood there for a moment wondering was he going to help pick up the books he made me drop. He just stood there and looked at me like a weirdo. "Dude are going help me pick up the books you made me drop?" I said picking up my books. "Yeah...." he just kept looking at me "Yes. I'm sorry." He got down and started to help me pick the books he made me drop. It wasn't all his fault but I'm blaming him because I only looked down for like half a second and he was probably walking and looking back like any typical guy. Okay maybe that was stereotypical. We finished picking up the books and I stood up. He was still staring at me like a creep. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" I asked really confused. "Yo- yeah umm I have to go." He said stuttering. He just left. He just left without saying his name or anything.
So I walk to class. When I enter the class Ms. Riley I believe that was her name says "Go find the seat with your name tag on it and when you find your name tag put it on" I walked around the class till I find my seat it's like the second row from the back, third seat. Yes this is an important detail so remember this. I put my name tag on. I look to the left to see who sat next to me it was Sammy, to the right Hannah. Didn't really make a difference then but does now. I sit down. It's about 5 minutes till class starts. There was 1 person missing. I was talking to Hannah getting to know her. And then the door open. It was the guy from earlier. The strange boy. "Ryan you seat in the back row third seat." I couldn't stop looking at him. "You like him don't you?" Hannah whispered to me "No. He the guy I was telling you about who made me drop all my books" I whispered. "Well from what you was telling me, it was partly your fault." Hannah whispered. "No it was-shhhh shhh he's coming" I whispered. He sat down and me and Hannah looked at each other and smiled. "Hi 'Sarah'." he whispered in my ear. I couldn't help but to blush. "Good Morning class. Welcome to your first day of middle school." Ms. Riley said with the hugest smile on her face.
