A/N #1: the story is about a former anorexia patient so there are some references to the eating disorder
A/N #2: the story is set in a school system where bilingual gymnasiums last for 5 years (the main character studies there since 16 years old to about 20 something years old), and elementary school lasts for 9 years (6 to 15 years old)
A/N #3: the story is a true life story (it's a non-fiction, duh).
I hope you'll enjoy my first story!

Dear diary,
The first day of high school is finally over. I have to say, I had higher expectations which were not met. Is my overall high school experience gonna be this boring? Hope not.
I mean, I could get the best of it and find new friends, right? I know that my nonexistent social circle could use some. Being a 15-year-old teenage introvert is tough. At least I can pour my heart out on a piece of paper. That's not really comforting but it'll have to do.
And my mom? She's always silently watching me, keeping an eye out. She thinks it's subtle but I notice. Looking out for every tiny sign of failure? Recess? Probably. What else could it be. I don't drink, don't do drugs (my smoking episode is far behind me), don't spend late evenings out on the streets with friends (because I don't have any). The only black mark on my otherwise blank canvas of life is the eating disorder. Have I overcome it? I guess. I mean, I've never really had the stereotypical thoughts of an anorexic girl. But my mom would beg to differ. She always over exaggerated things. I hope she'll get over it soon though, cause her stares are driving me crazy.
Well, it's past midnight. I guess I should be getting my beauty sleep for the second day of high school. Hope it'll be better than the first one.
