Recovery (Book 2)

Acceptance

23/1/2016

I'm am freaking out majorly right now.

I thought I had been accepted into OC. My dad said I was going there.

In two days, I have my school interview thing.

Turns out, I haven't been accepted yet.

I'm so so so so scared I won't. I have to look acceptable. Meaning no piercings, no jewellery, try and dress presentable, basically all the things I can't do.

I mean, I can't imagine what I look like when I'm not wearing dark clothes.

But to get into this school I will do anything.

I will wear bright clothes.

I will have no piercings.

ANYTHING.

Because if I can't go here, I'm screwed. No other schools in the area.

But I'm trying to look up. I got accepted there the first time, heck, I was even accepted into the advanced class.

Liam said it's really hard to get into the advanced classes now, but he reckons I can get into the mathematics one for sure.

And he's really good at working the social scales, he'd make a good publicist.

He said that seeing as my mum went to jail, I could get some serious popularity. And if I say I'm on drugs, I'm pretty much set to be popular.

But I don't want that. I don't want to lie so people like me. Who cares if my mum went to jail? Does that affect me as a person? And where does popularity get you? When you leave school, popularity isn't gonna matter. It's not gonna get you a job. It's not gonna get you a home. It's not gonna get you a family.

I'm confident I'll get into OC. Well, trying to be confident.

But will that be enough??
