A Perfect Storm

Life... Its never easy!

"Who knows what life will give you? You can be happy at one moment and the next moment, that happiness is gone. But life just goes on."

Those were the few words my best friend Kate always tells me. I have always wondered what made her say that. Especially because I always think that she has a perfect life. By saying the word "perfect" she really has a perfect life. Think about the most perfect life you ever want. The kind of home you always wanted. The kind of cool parents. The kind of siblings who are more like your friends. And many more that would describe as a perfect life. That's how Kate is. I admire her though. She is the most humble person I have met.

And then there is me. You can underestimate me as much as you want. Because, my life has always been like that. But I don't wish to change it cause I think I'm too used to this. Life. It's never easy. Well maybe this is the deal. We have to handle a life which is not easy in order to enjoy the fruit of it. But who knows how great the fruit is going to be.

Now let me tell you more about myself. I'm Michaela. My friends call me Mich. It's not like I have lots of friends. But just a few ones. Nothing great about myself either. Just a normal girl who goes to high school. A girl who has a huge crush on this popular guy in school. But he never knows of my existence.

My family is. Hmm well. I have never described about my family to anyone. Though I do not talk much about them, I do love them a lot. But I find Kate's parents cool. For some reason, I have spent more time with Kate's parents compared to mine. My parents are always busy with work. I always stay at Kate's place after school and usually go back home for dinner. At times, only to sleep.

Kate. She must be the best thing that happened to me. The only person I could thank god for. Who else could alike like me. Except that she is more wise compared to me. And she definitely makes better decisions. I just admire her. Well, even now, she is sitting opposite me and I'm wondering why I always find her perfect.

"Mich, are you alright?" Kate suddenly asked me. It felt like she poked through my thought of bubbles.

"Oh nothing. Just thinking," I said while giving her a smile. She knew that something was going through my mind. But she didn't want to ask about it. Kate doesn't ask me about anything until I open up. Well you will get to know more about her.

There goes my school bell. Next is history. I won't be with Kate. But I will be seeing Edward. My crush. But he will be sitting with some cute girl and again he will not notice my presence. It sucks to be a normal average girl. No one really notices your existence until they need your homework.

Hi guys! This is my first time writing. I hope it interests you. And I would really love to hear some comments from you to improve myself. Thank you so much for reading. Will try to write better too! Cheers!
