Wishful

The Beginning - Chapter 1

I woke up, and then I threw my hand straight at the snooze button.

I'm not a morning person, especially when it comes to waking up for school. But, if I wanted to keep my good grades, and nerdy status, I had to go to school. Even if I got bullied every day. I still had to go.

My mom then came into my room, doing what she always does. Which was, being a supportive mom.

"If you don't like school, we could take you out and homeschool you." said my mom while putting her hands on her hips.

You all are probably wondering why I haven't been homeschooled yet. Well, my mom is class A at annoying people. I finally gave my mom a response.

"Mom, thanks for the offer. But seriously, I have 2 years left of high school. I'm pretty sure I can survive." I said while I was brushing my hair.

I lied. I can't survive high school. She probably doesn't understand all the stuff I go through. She was very popular in school. I'm nothing like her.
I then pulled out my phone and looked at the time. Surprisingly, thirty minutes had passed by. I, unfortunately, had to leave for school.

"I'll see you after school, Mom," I said while giving her a hug and exiting my room.

I left my house and started walking to school.

I finally arrived at school. I took a deep breath, and a very long stare before walking in the doors.

After having a very long stare at the humongous pillars, and the doors, I finally walked in. As I looked, I saw a whole lot of people. Matter of fact, a whole lot of people that hate me.
Even if my mom was very popular, that doesn't help my status one bit. They don't care if your mother went there and was popular. The only thing they care about is what YOU are like. What a typical school.I walked down the long narrow halls. I finally arrived at my first class, which was History.

"Isabella! My favorite student!" said my teacher, Mrs. Rose, while smiling.

I sat down at my desk at the far back. In the front is where all the popular people sat. Luckily, I had glasses, so that meant I could see a mile away, or even more for that matter. Just kidding, but seriously.

Once the bell rang, that meant class started. Mrs. Rose read off the morning question for us to do. Of course, with me being the smartest person in the class, I knew the answers.

"Which of the following is a form of government in which the leader is not a monarch and certain citizens have the right to vote?" Mrs. Rose asked while reading off of the papers.

I was the only one who raised my hand.
Mrs. Rose then called on me, and everyone started looking at me.

"Republic government," I said while staring Mrs. Rose in the eyeball

"Correct!" exclaimed Mrs. Rose

Everyone started looking at me more and more each day I got them right. They probably thought I was a member of a science research team or something like that.

"Why does Isabella have to be so smart. She is so stupid!" yelled out one girl.

Mrs. Rose then told her to go to the office. I think that all the teachers defend me in some way. When they yell stuff out like that, it just makes me more and smarter.

As class went on, I answered more and more questions. The more questions I answered, the more class participation points I got. So, technically its a win-win for me.

Once class ended, we had break. I then went to put my stuff up in my locker and got my other stuff for my next class.

My stuff fell into the floor.

I'm not clumsy. I didn't do it. I don't know who did do it. But, everyone was looking at me, and laughing at me. I picked up all of my stuff, without asking who did it, and immediately ran into the bathroom, waiting for the bell to ring.

Once the bell rang, I ran to my next class, hoping nobody saw what happened. Even though they did.

They laughed at me. They all did.

The day went on, and I finally came home.

Once I arrived home, I took my shoes off and ran into the kitchen to get food. There was no sight of my mom. She was probably still at work. I called her, and she answered and told me she was going to be at work until 12 am. Lucky me. A gigantic house to myself.

I watched T.V for the majority of the time. I mostly was watching the news because there was suppose to be a shooting star the next day.

I really wanted to wish on the shooting star. I have always wanted to be famous or to be a different person. I do like my life. I just wish I was something more than a "nerd".

But, I really don't believe some of that stuff. Every time I wish for something, it just comes out the opposite.

But, if my wish does come true, I'll be "perfect" you know? Not having to worry about anything, being pretty, having contacts, and all of that nice stuff.

I went to sleep around 10 P.M and woke up around 4:30. I did my usual morning stuff and then went to school.

I stared at the pillars, and the doors once again. It's like my life is a whole big book just replaying.

I went to History, answered the questions, and then did the work for most of the class.

After that, I went straight to my locker and didn't move out of my lockers sight during our break. Just so someone won't push my stuff down again, you know?

I finally got my stuff and was in class on time.
After that period passed, it was lunchtime. I sat by the garbage cans, just like every other day.

I was thinking about what would happen if I was famous. Would I have real friends? Or would they just be using me for my fame and fortune? Would anyone even like me? I had so many questions about everything, I didn't even eat my food.

Everyone's food that got thrown away splashed onto my hair. After lunch, I had to wash all of that stuff out.

I found one girl in the bathroom that was a freshman. She acted just like I did. I just hope she doesn't get bullied as much as I did back in my freshman year.

Once school was over, instead of walking home, I took the bus home.

The bus was a greyhound bus. Pretty good for New York if you ask me. Once I got home, I found my mom passed out on the couch. She must be tired from her shift at her job last night. I would be too.

I then remembered something. There was a shooting star tonight.
