My True Life Story

My Turn At Highschool

The day has finally come, that day I was longing waiting for to arrive. I was obviously nervous as there would be more kids and a bigger school but I was excited to get away from the drama and the bullying and to hopefully make some friends at the new school.

My mother drove me to school and walked me to the hall where the principle was greeting all of the new students before the welcoming assembly. The principle recognised my mother straight away and said, "another one?" my mother replied, "this one is the good one, you won't have any issues with him." the principle smiled at me and introduced herself and showed me where to sit. I said goodbye to my mother and I walked inside. After sitting down, I looked at the door and saw my mother was still talking to the principle and I just gathered they were talking about my brother. I never bothered to ask though.

While sitting there waiting for the assembly to start, everyone was talking and getting to know each other and some students even seemed to have already met from their previous schools. I was the only one from my previous school to go this school so I didn't know anyone and no one knew me and I honestly didn't mind. The assembly started and we were all eventually separated into groups and taken into a different room where we were then taken to our home rooms where we would start each day before our classes. There we were given our time tables of every class and the teachers we had for that class.

Because I was a junior it was compulsory for me to attend every class in the school I didn't get a choice. Some classes I didn't mind going to but others I wasn't too sure on. After home room, I moved on to go to my first class. This class was drama which I didn't mind at all as I loved acting and playing roles. Everyone was waiting out side and I was quietly lined up behind some girls who were all laughing and talking. One of the girls then turned around to me and yelled, "eww!" everyone turned around and looked at me. I asked if something was wrong and the girl turned around and said, "you've got a mole on the side of you're face, get away you freak!" now yes I do have a mole on the side of my face but it actually isn't any bigger than an ant. Anyway to keep the peace I went to the back of the line and waited again patiently.

When we got inside, we were all given set seats to sit in. Guess who I got sat next to? That's right, the same girl from the line. I didn't say anything to her I just sat my things down and sat quietly. During that lesson she tried saying things to me but I just ignored her and pretended not to listen. I know right, why did I just pretend and just not listen at all? Well anyway even though I was ignoring her, the things she was saying to me was still affecting me even if I wasn't showing it at the time. After that class was finished, I went outside and went to my next class where thankfully that girl wasn't going to. Soon enough the day was over and was time to go home. I went to the front of the school and waited to be picked up. Once in the car my mother asked me how it went. I replied, "it was fine, different but fine." my mother told me I would get used to it.

The next day I returned back to school and my first class I had, that girl was there and she walked up to me and apologised for being so rude on the first day. I said that it was fine and then she laughed and said, "oh my god, I can't believe you thought that it was real, like me apologising to you, what a fucking freak!" she walked off straight away.

I made a friend a couple days later and we got really close. The problem was though, her brother didn't like her hanging out with me. For some reason, he had something against me and I didn't know what. Another thing I noticed was that everyone knew who I was. Not in my grade though, people in the higher grades. This was because of my older brother. Apparently he left quite a reputation behind and not a very good one and because my brother was no longer there, they focused on me.

A couple of people in the higher grades that knew my brother were really nice towards me but that was like three people, everyone else hated me for being related to him. I mean was my brother really that bad? As the year went on, so did the drama. I started getting closer to that one friend I had made to the point I started to have feelings for her. I finally had the courage to ask her out, and she said yes. It was awkward and her brother didn't like it one bit. I walked her home one afternoon and her brother stood there watching me and threatened to kill me if I didn't leave her alone. She yelled at him for saying this but it didn't change anything.

As the week went on, things between us was getting weird and I had a feeling things weren't going to work out. That weekend, I stayed at my nans place as my parents were busy and my girlfriend messaged me,  saying that she can't do it anymore and that things are over. So the fact it was only a week, I wouldn't class things as a relationship. I tried asking her if she was okay and what was wrong and she just asked me to leave her alone. I respected her wishes and didn't talk back to her.

Later that night, I received a message from one of her bestfriends saying that she dumped me as she was seeing someone else and only agreed to date me as she felt sorry for me. I didn't want to believe it until I either saw or heard this from her. I wasn't angry or upset, I just wanted to know the truth. After her boyfriend told me this, she then proceeded to tell me how she had feelings for me and wanted to go out with me. I declined as I still had feelings for the other girl. Her best friend understood and we left it at that.
