All Boys School Survival Guide for Girls

"All Boy's School Survival Guide" for girls chapter 12

[This chapter is longer due to me being an ass and writing such short chapters before, I realize I need to write longer chapters in the story, so hopefully from now on I will /try/ to write longer chapters]

♠--Tip 12: If you are an exceptionally bad athlete and would not like to be involved in P.E., prepare some excuses before you begin your adventure in an all boy's school. A good excuse that always works is to explain you have uneven shoulder muscles from sideways spinal curvature (scoliosis) and pectus excavatum. This constricting blood vessels on the left side of your head, which leads to abnormal nose bleeds that occur during random times while exercising. You are welcome to come up with more creative excuses if you desire, and are not limited to the rule provided above.-♠

--Hey Aliza, Who's Quinn? I don't remember the name, but anyway, thank god no one found out yet who you are. I still can't thank you enough for doing this for me Aliza, I really owe you one.

By the way, things are going fine here, although I'm kinda missing you. It's odd in the house all by myself.

I talked to some of your teachers and made up the excuse that you went to stay with your Aunt Hess in Australia for a few months.

Oh, and Vanni kept bugging me about you, asking why you haven't been at school and when you're coming back. I told her you'll be with Aunt Hess for a while. She's probably going to email you some time cause I wouldn't give her a phone number.

Anyways, talk you to later.

Take care.

Alex--

Aliza stared at the computer screen, tears moistening her eyes. She started to type a response, with each sentence her fingers gained speed, moving faster and faster over the keyboard.

--I feel lonely here.

I don't know anyone.

I want to come back Alex.

This place is too far away from you.

Too far away from everything I've known all my life.

Even though there are so many people surrounding me, I feel alone.

I feel isolated at heart, with so many people around me, yet not the ones I want...need.

I feel like I'm going to choke myself with all the lies I am telling others every time someone talks to me.

Do you know how scary it is, to meet strangers, but ironic just the same cause, behold: I am a stranger to myself.

These people don't know me-the real me-and I am here still, pretending to be you all the while hiding who I really am from everyone.

I WANT TO BE ME.

I don't want to pretend anymore.

Tell me to come back.

I miss you...--

"I want to be me..."

/But can I be happy letting Alex down when he needs me even though he had been there for me when I needed him most.../

As the tears dried on her face, Aliza sat staring at the screen.

Then, asudden, she started to laugh; with no sound escaping her lungs.

/If you only knew Alex! You think I'm only pretending to be a guy? Well, no, apparently, I am lacking in talent, so now, people are starting to think I'm gay. If that's not the oddest piece of shit you ever heard: a girl; who's pretending to be a guy; who people think is gay!/
