Hold On Til May (2013)

Chapter 1

It was a normal day in Chesterbrooke. I got in my moms car and like normal I felt a ball of anxiety inside my belly.

I love school but there's always a question, "will someone call me fat? Will someone hug me?" It's my first year going back to school since two incident.

In 5th grade after putting up with bullies and teachers yelling at me I finally decided to be home schooled.

I didn't know how bad it would be. No social interactions, not going out, I don't have any siblings so no one came over really.

----

But now it's different. (Thank god). I go out with my friends Liz and Katy on the weekends normally and goof off. I laugh a lot, and I mean a ton, it probably will get on your nerves to hear me giggling.

Anyways, mom turned on the radio and it played 'Blurred Lines' by that Robin dude. Instantly my mom started snapping and grooving in her seat.

I rolled my eyes because that song is the dirtiest thing they could play on the radio. Why would they even have a lyric video for the real deal version on YouTube?

We drove off and we finally got to the high school parking lot. I texted my friend Faith that I was there;

Faithy-poo: Hai, U here? >w<

Thebella: Yep I'm pulling in rite now see you in a sec!

I walk past the 10th graders in their normal waiting spot, they're super tall and they always stop me and try to give me high fives or tease me about my height.

I finally see Faith's dyed red hair and walk a little faster to get to her.

"FAITTTTTHHHHHH!!!" I scream like we haven't seen each other in a few weeks.

"OMG Bells be quite people are looking at us" -Faith

"But bb we're matching" -Bella

"*eyes widen* HOLY CRAP HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!" -faith

"Wearing the same jacket from Hollister again?" A boy named William says while walking up to us.

"Yus, indeed" I say as hugging his side.

Will has been a friend of mine since 3rd grade, we share a birthday and we strangely look alike. I used to tease him because of the people he hung out with, but now he's like Mr. Joe cool.

Just then the bell rang and we went inside the building to go to English.

Will and I sit across from each other, and Faith sits next to me.

The teacher started talking about Sleepy Hollow and I zoned out no matter how much I love dark stories.

I looked over at the door and there was some kid with blonde hair looking in.

The blue eyes looked over to me and I made a surprised face. Turns out it was Katy.

She held up a piece of paper that said "Go to the bath room". So I raised my hand and went outside the classroom to find her smiling like some idiot.

She's like 12 inches taller than me (not exaggerated). "what do you want?" I asked casually.

"What do you want to do tonight? It's a Friday." She replied.

"You had to get me out of class for this? But oh yeah I forgot about that. Could we go to the skate park because I just bought one and I need to learn how to use it." I said.

"Okay we'll bike there with Liz. If we get bored we can just throw bread at the birds or dance in the pond like the civilized people we are." She said
