If I were to make a Question Corner or an Ask the Author, would you mates actually want to ask me things? Let me know :3
Now that that's out of the way, I want to talk about how I've been dealing with moving to a different district. When I first learned that I would no longer attend Wheeling High School or get to be with the people I grew up with, I fell into a deep depression, and people noticed that I was acting much quieter and sadder than normal. BTW, kudos to those mates who actually asked if I was okay. Anyways, the thought of never getting to see my friends again was a truly awful one. As the end of my time in Wheeling came closer, I withdrew myself further and further from others, talked even less than usual, and almost NEVER smiled or laughed. On the day before my last day in Wheeling, I was absolutely MISERABLE. In fact, when school ended that day, I sat down on the staircase, pulled my jacket hood over my head, curled into the fetal position, and cried until my mom arrived to pick me up. What was just as sad was the fact that several people I knew passed right by me and said nothing, as if I wasn't sitting in front of them crying my eyes out. The teachers who passed by acted the same way. Then came the final day at Wheeling. I was practically a zombie, shuffling around with half-lidded eyes and softly groaning. I was in so much emotional pain, not that anyone noticed or cared(although I was used to that by now). To make matters worse, I decided to confess to someone that I had feelings for them, and they never gave me a response(not that it matters now, since I'm in a relationship now); instead, they just acted as if I hadn't said anything. They were still friendly, but I noticed that they kept a distance from me. I couldn't take anymore of the hurt my heart was feeling. A bunch of my friends said goodbye, and I gave out little cards with my contact info on them to keep in touch. People say they will miss me, but no one has actually tried to make any contact with me. I repeated my actions from yesterday after school that day on the stairs, once again crying while waiting to be picked up. I know I wasn't really liked by many people at Wheeling, and I know my absence has had next to zero impact on anybody, but it still hurts. I didn't want to be torn away from those I cared about, and to add insult to injury, get dropped into a strange, unfamiliar environment at my new school in Mundelein. I kept to myself most of the time during the first two months at my new school, but I managed to make nine amazing friends: Nicole, Matt, Julie, Jules, Kiara, Jess, Ryan, Becky, and Scott. These people made it their job to approach the new girl who didn't talk to anyone in class, and made me feel welcome. I wouldn't be a very happy person if I hadn't befriended these awesome people. Kudos to them!!!! As for the people at Wheeling who really care, thanks. I just wish you would have made my last days good ones. There is one person at Wheeling that I would never have managed without. Desiree, if you ever read this, I want to tell you that you have been the most amazing, caring, and positive person. I am so blessed to have gotten the chance to spend time with you, I love you so much and I will never forget what you have done for me.
Anyhoo, thanks for hearing me out, mates. Until the next time, Keep Training, Mates!
