I've no idea how or when it happened. I don't even know what made me so out of character as to become close friends with him; instead of pushing him away like I did everybody else. All I know is ever since that first meeting our destinies have become intertwined, I didn’t wish for it to be so and I’m still completely unsure this is right. I can't go anywhere or do anything without him being there and I hate it. I don’t feel like my own person anymore. I know how everyone else feels about him and how they don't understand why he chose me "the socially awkward geek who thinks she’s better than everyone else" to tell the truth I don't quite understand myself really, and honestly at first I did try to push him away; I didn’t want anyone to get too close to me; especially not him. And yet here I am and before I even knew it my feelings had changed from him so drastically; but what was so different about him? What was it about him that made me forget about "pushing everyone away?" What was it about him that allowed him to get so close to me that he held my heart in his hands when I swore to keep it locked away in a cage, behind a brick wall with guards guarding it 24/7? How did he get past my protective barrier and break through my shell? It was supposed to be invincible so how did he get past it with such minimal effort it makes me sick that I didn’t stick to my principles and gave into him. I've no idea how to answer any of these questions but I know one thing for sure since I met him I have changed. The only question I really need to answer now is. "Is it for the best? Or is it for the worst?"
Chapter 1:
My life has never been extraordinary. In fact it has been anything but. I go through the same routine every day, repeatedly doing the same things. As an honor student at Lehigh Academy, A schools for the rich and valuable, my studies have been my top priority. I never really felt the need to become friends with anyone. I never really needed anyone before. I can't say I never felt the emptiness of having no one particularly close to me; but I have no time for friends. My parents want me to do my best with my education and go as far as I can with it and with all they do for me, I can't let them down especially as this is all they ever ask of me. My parents do their best both working 24/7 with hardly any sleep to pay for the insanely high prices for the school uniforms, lunches and anything else that I may need to pay for to advance my education.
With all my priorities focused on school and with no time for friends, people have begun to think of me as "the socially awkward geek who thinks she’s better than everyone else." So on top of piling myself with work and trying to "expand my horizons" I get harassed by bullies; and today was no different.
Walking to my locker I rolled my eyes at that stupid laugh of hers. She's stalking out at my locker again? I thought to myself doesn’t she have anything else she has to do?
"Hey there Madelyn" she smiles at me "Me and my friends had an awesome time at my sleepover last night. Sorry you missed it. But I don’t invite commoners." She flipped her long, wavy, blonde hair out of her eyes obviously waiting for my reaction.
"That’s nice Stacie, I'll be sure to tell the 'commoners' all about it" I said nonchalantly fixing away my books in my locker.
She smiled again "You do that. I'll give you all the details about all the parties you’re NOT invited to and you can go off and weep to your whittle fwiends" she mocked before laughing. I finished with my books and slammed my locker shut before turning to her.
"How many times are you going to not invite me to something before you realize I DON'T care." and with this I turned and walked away obviously leaving her in a loop and I smiled to myself as I walked to my next class.
