THE MOMENT I KNEW

Chapter 1

It's almost 3am and I still have these tons of thoughts in my head, I don't know why? I couldn't sleep or eat at the same time. I feel like drowning in own thoughts, maybe because I stress myself to much, waiting for someone to love me the way I loved them, but life was never been fair and I think it will never be.

I woke up in the sound of my alarm it's almost 5 in the morning, 2 hours sleep, not bad for the past couple weeks most of the time I only have 30 minutes of sleep but today it's different. I get up, ready myself for school, I face my mirror and see my pale face, I put some make-up to hide the ugliness on the outside, my ride is here and I'm ready to face the reality.

"Clara! Clara!" Someone from my back keeps saying my name.

"Hey Clara!" She holds my wrist so I could stop walking

"Hey Jai" I said and smiled at her.

"So, I heard about the homecoming, and it's happening 2 months from now. I'm so excited!" She said

"Yeah, I heard about it too, but I'm not interested to go" I said

"But why? We waited for this for so long, remember? You could get the chance to dance the man of your dreams." She says.

"Yeah, but I don't know what to wear, or I don't know if he's going or even though he's going I don't have the assurance that he's going to notice me. You know? He's popular and I'm just a girl next door and a freak." I say.

"Hey! Don't be so hard for yourself, your beautiful. You know that, and every guy in this school likes you. Clara, you need to go. These are your moment and take every risk. Don't worry, I'm always here." She says.

"Thanks Jai, you're the best" I replied.

"I know right. Okay, are you coming or not?" She asks.

"I guess, but I'm not sure." I say.

"There you go!" She says.

It's almost time , Jai and I already inside our classroom same all things is happening, class start at 8:00 ends at 4:30pm, Another boring day.

Me and Jai both walked home, we don't want to join the other students in the school bus, and walking is good for your health.

Jai snaps the silent. "I saw Neil today" she says.

"Where? I didn't saw him today." I replied.

"I saw him earlier, at his art class" Jai say.

"It doesn't surprise me." I laugh.

"Why? You know that he's attending an art class?" She asks.

"Yeah, well. Remember Leona? Neil's friend? I heard her in the hallway earlier that Neil and her enrolled on that class for Carly." I say.

"Well, he's got talent, and his really good at painting. Maybe you're just over reacting that they enrolled for Carly? I don't think so. Neil hates that girl." She says.

I didn't respond back, maybe Jai was right, or maybe I was right? Love is overrated.

I arrived at home and saw my mom on the porch watering her plants.

"Hey Mom?" I said and kiss her cheeks.

"Oh! Great you're here, I was waiting for you." She said.

"Why?" I said while putting my bags on the living room, she follow me inside.

"Your party dress is here." She said.

"What party dress? What are you talking about mom?" I asked.
