I'm perfect just the way I am

The first year

I was really excited to start my first year , first day of high school ! My name is Rose .Oh I can't believe it ... Just thinking about those stuff makes me feel so excited and ... And a bit nervous . What if seniors from upper class hate me ? What if I got no friends at the end ? What if people think I am ugly ? I pushed these thoughts away and start preparing for tomorrow . The next morning I woke up early in the mornings and went to school . I found some girls chattering so I tried to join in but as I talked , they moved away saying " c'mon guys , a weird looking girl is trying to disturb our talk , let's go " I felt ... I felt useless , weird , and ugly . Why don't they want to friend me ? Am I really that weird ? When first period starts , I listened carefully and tried to write what I understood . I opened my locker and found a letter written
"Dear weird girl ,
Please do not act as if you understand the lesson and stop asking some silly questions "
I didn't know whom the letter from but I guess it was from the group of girls which I tried to talk with this morning . Now I really felt weird . When I got back home and my mom asked me how my day was and of course I said " great ! It was amazing ... Friends there are so pretty and kind " but inside I was dying and crying though I covered it , my mom somehow noticed and said " well , I don't want any one of the girls calling you weird names or teasing you off limits right ? Tell me when there is a problem " I went to my room and sighed ... How am I supposed to face them tomorrow again ? I went to sleep with a positive thought . I got to school and I didn't meet those girls and even if I met them , I would avoid them . Well, I open up my locker and saw nothing I was quite happy though . The bell rang and school started at break time , in the canteen , I saw them with a group of boys . I tried to hide and run away but I was too late . The boys were laughing at me and said " You mean this girl ? I think you forgot to tell me one more fact about her that she was ugly , really ugly " i controlled my temper and said " oh thanks 👍! " and they started laughing again gossiping about me . My mom knew it at once and I told her it was nothing and that my day was really fine . When I get into my room , I looked into the mirror thinking , look at this ugly weird girl . I sighed and I cried myself to sleep that night . But the next morning , in my locker was a letter written
"Would like to be your friend ... Meet me at the canteen at break time. I will be looking forward to see you . I have no friends like you either "
I thought oh great but I thought this could also be a prank but still I went there . I found a girl sitting and she waved at me , I was going to sit but then someone pulled the chair I was going to sit so basically I fell down . I was embarrassed and then a group of girls came out from behind and laughed . I ran quickly to the toilet and quietly cried there ... I thought why can't I even shout at them back ? I need courage . If I keep on acting like this , they're gonna bully me more . I took a deep breath and came out of the toilet and people stared at me . Then I saw a girl , name Amy crying ... I asked her what's wrong and she told me the reason . She was also being bullied by those girls . I understood and I told her " let's be friends " and she said " yea sure " wiping away her tears . I went back home with her since her house was in the same street and quite near to me . I went back home with good news and bad news but I only told my mom good news . Days pass by me and Amy being bullied , being teased and the last day of the year came ... We had a celebration and still they teased us and our mouths were shut ... Shut like they locked our mouths up and kept the key very privately ... Amy and I became best friends and we wrote a letter before 12 at the end of the year . It was that
"We , Amy and Rose , swear that we will be together till the end and that no rumours or anything can break us part . And we Well fight them back the next year and we guarantee it ."
