Shifting Gears

"Cool Aid?"
"Yeah! Isn't it awesome?"
"Um, yeah?". What has this world come to? Whelp, it's worth a shot.

To be honest with you, for some reason, I was excited. Excited to fit in? Maybe. Excited to have red hair? Probably not. Excited to smell like fruit punch? No. Ok, so it's amazing how a group of people who call themselves different, and special, and popular, are able to change how you look at life.

Twenty minutes later, with a kinked neck, and a half melted face, I've got red hair... sort of.

Before this I didn't even know what a "trend" was. It's funny how things change. People really do grow up fast.

Now a days my life evolves around trends.
...

(Here I'll start diary entries. The dots above👆🏼and below👇🏼mean I'll say something that has to do with something that just happened. These will typically be a lesson I learned the day I wrote this part of the story.)

Just found out that boys are dogs, and their crushes are catty. Who would've known?
...

Silly Bandz, Kool Aid hair, and Justice oh my! The three biggest trends of the time. It's not until you realize you're not the one setting trends, that you realize how hard it is to keep up with them.

What on earth is a queen bee?

Well I could tell you all about that. I'll name a few; Skylah, Ellie, Mallory. Observing people is fun, and easy. It's not every day you see a group of people following three other people around like a pack of wolves... or is it?

The wolf thing became pretty normal. And I was often alone, sitting at my green lunch table. You know it's kinda like when some people get a pet. It was amusing for the first few days and then it just gets annoying. And don't get me back on the trends. Trend after trend, I can't keep up...
I guess that's why I was never invited into the group.
