Changes

"Being the person you want to be, Doesn't change who you really are."  

Introduction 

I looked out the window, Watching the kids play with the snow. 

I'm Courtney Brien the famous nerd in Southwell High. Yes, as you are thinking right now, I'm a nerd. As in the classic nerd you'll ever met. With big round glasses. Perfect fit braces. And an old fashioned dork. 

People bullied me for who I really was. They'd bumped into me and pretend I wasn't there. Spill drinks on me and even pulling me around. Well, even you would bully a weird ugly duckling face like me, would you? I don't think no one knows me in our school. And don't alternate it in a good way. They know me, cause' I'm their number one target. 

Saddest part of my life?  My ultimate crush is my number one bully. He keeps goofing around me and pretend he liked me. But then it turned out everything was just a play. I was struggling in jail for 4 years now. For short my whole Junior High life. Not literally in jail. Ofcourse, I'm a minor. All I meant was 4yrs in Southwell High with the dinasours and gorillas. 

I pout as I thought of it. 

My crush and my very first love, who was slash my bully. Raven Smith. He has this captain cheerleader girlfriend, Who was self-centered, aloof, Insolent, Ungracious, pert, procacious and spoiled bitch you'll ever met. And you'll absolutely regret bumping into her. Mean while in  the other side, She's pretty and sexy. Maybe I can call her a man's dream girl. Not including her bitchy atittude. 

Mean while, Raven. His handsome, Hot, and a god-like looking guy. He has perfect pointed nose. With his blondy hair messed up. His heaven. *Sighs. His lips has perfect curves and dazzling sparkling blue eyes that gives shrivers down your spine. Well I admit his not the only god-like looking in SouthWell High. But I didn't have the chance to meet him. Grrr His name was like T... T something. 

"Honey are you ready?" Mom shouted outside my room as I combed my hair for the last time. I sighed. "Yes Mom!" I replyed. 

Today is the program thingy in our school. Or shall I call it Graduation? I'm gonna be a Senior next year! I smiled as I checked my braces in the mirror. Braces sucks, those dirt that sticks in it out of no where. I grabbed my phone, and placed it in my nerdy purse as I walked out of the room. 

When I went down the stairs, Mom was there staring at me. "Wow Honey, You look amazing!" I made a face like 'Duh..' 

Ofcourse parents would really appriciate us no matter what, Even how nerdy we look. I was wearing a puffy pink dress under my dark blue graduation gown. My hair was curly in the tips... which is natural. I have a dark chocolate brown hair that gives attention to people who craves for chocolates. Lol. 

Students we're giving their signals that I'm here standing in the land of the school, where the graduation would take place. Let me guess another surprise from my bullies. They never fail to surprise me. 

And finally I recieved the death glare of the famous captain cheerleader who was slash the girlfriend of my bully source. Nikki Miles. She raised an eyebrown as our eyes met. We stared for like (only God knows). 

As usual, Graduations or closing programs will always be alphabetical. Beside me was Chloe Brike. She's my closest friend for i think only me knows. Hihihi. She's kind and friendly. But she hides her friendlyness when it comes too me. Cause' for all i know all people who goes near me would be in my deep whole of hell. 

"Hey, There!" I said, almost a whisper. She turned attention to me and smiled, her usual smile. "Hey!" I tilted my head. "You look stunning today!" She whinned a little and stared at me. "Oh please, You too!" She winked. 

The principal was having her very very long speech who only Zeus would probably know when it ended. I smirked as the principal called me, for my Valedictorian speech. I looked at the students behind me. As they smirked and threw death glares at me. And I turned my attention to the other side of my sight, they rolled their eyes as they saw me look at their direction. I raised my eyebrow when I saw Chloe lightly cheering for me.

"Hello Everyone!" I faked a smile. "Seems like half of my life was here in this school, With great teachers, friendly staffs, and over energized physical education teachers." I heard the teachers as they chuckled. "I'm very happy to take another step forward together with my, uhh.." I sighed. Will i say friends? No they'll probably kill me for that. Will I say enemies? No I'm double dead. I bit my lower lip. ".. Schoolmates, I say." and I chuckled. I can see them close their eyes like they we're controling their temper. 

"I'm thankful for my family, teachers who taught me great knowledge not only Mentally, but also in the real world. My parents, Who gave me their full support on me. And my uhh.. so called friends whose always there for me through it all." I sighed "What an irony." I whispered to myself as I looked down. "And ofcourse to our father Almighty, God! Thank you for this." As I looked up. 

"And.. Congratulations to us Juniors! We finally finished another step in our life. And I know some of us are preparing ourselves for the things right ahead of us. Life is like a roller coaster, their would always be ups and downs. And it's up too you too hold on tight so you won't fall." I smiled. As I looked at their smugly faces. 

"Once again, Congratu-" I wasn't able to finish when I felt an egg flew on me. The yolk had a stain. When I looked around they were all laughing. As they tried to throw more eggs at me. I crossed my arms as I knelt down. My tears was rolling down my cheeks. I ran down the stage. And as I passed them they threw flour on me which made it even worst. I saw Chloe. Who was standing there looking at me, She felt like she wants to protect me but she knows it would be a bad decision after all. 

The teachers was panicking of what was happening in the moment. They threw more eggs and flour. I ran not seeing anything because of the flour and tears on my face. When I bumped into someone. When I looked up I saw Nikki. Wearing her biggest grin she poured Juice on me. My eyes widen and stood up. 

"ENOUGH!" I screamed. All of them was frozen of my sudden out burst. I stared at all of them. 

In the corner of my eyes I saw Nikki smirking. "Perfect breakfast." She squealed. I glared at her. Tears was unstoppable. I closed my eyes and tried to blink my tears away. 

I turned my back at them. As I felt eggs landing at my back. "UGLY DUCKLING!" I heard them shout. "NERD!" Another spat back.

"Ugly!"

"IDIOT!" 

"STUPID!" 

"LAME BRAIN!" 

I sighed deeply. Holding into my chest. I saw in the corner of my eyes as the teachers running towards me. I raised my hands to stop them from going near. I can hear the teachers screamed to stop them. But highschoolers are uncontrolable. 

It was painful. It hurts like crap, I closed my eyes. I can see hell burning me. My life was a big mess. A mess that no one could ever clean. 

I faced them. And in a sudden all of them stopped. 

"YOU." I pointed random people "WATCH. AND. LEARN." I said through grittened teeth. I emphasized every word I was saying. 

I turned my back at them and sighed. It's time for a change.
