I wake up with a pounding in my head. Probably from all the stress I went through last night. Isaiah and I? We had some 'issues' last night but everything is better now, thankfully. I can't lose him! I love him! Despite what people say about us, they don't know what we talk about, they don't know 1/2 of it, so I don't mind what other people say...well I try not to.

My name is Haley and I attend Greensburg High School as a senior in the oh so lovely state of Nebraska. Always raining, always dreary, but you get used to it I guess. I moved here from Alabama a couple months ago but i'm still not used to this crappy weather.

I have 2 best friends. Alexa and Rylan.

I met Alexa the first day I moved here. She helped me around classes and to get to know the people of Greensburg. I learned who the stuck up popular people were and the way she described them, I don't want to be a part of. Back in Alabama, I was one of them and I regret it now looking back. On my first day here, the 'popular' ones tried pulling into their group but luckily, Alexa found me first and informed me of them. I wanted to go through this year un-noticed. She told me who the 'nerds', 'rich ones', 'bad boy players', and the 'boys to stay away from' were. None of them sounded like people I wanted anything to do with so I decided to stick to Alexa and Rylan.

Rylan was gay. Honestly, I think all girls need a gay best friend because honestly, they're great. I met him through Alexa in 7th period. Turns out, they've been friends for SEVEN years already. That's something i wanted.

When I attended Greensburg, I somehow became popular. I'm not really sure. Not the 'OMG i can't ever reach her level' popular that everyone is 'jealous' of, But I made many friends, just none of them were really close to me like Alexa and Rylan were. My 'friends' and I communicate sometimes by complimenting or helping with homework but that was about it. However, Alexa, Rylan and I told each other EVERYTHING.

****
Now, here I am, waiting for Alexa and Rylan to come pick me up to go to school. I woke and it was raining, as always, and I slid on come light wash, high waisted denim jeans with a light purple crop top along with my shin high black heel boots. I loosely curled my hair and put on light make up and put on my black leather jacket at the end. I grabbed my back and ran out the door after saying bye to my dad and waited on my porch of them so show up.

My mom had passed away about a year ago. I didn't like talking about it. Her death was one reason why we moved here. Why? Because most of Dad's family lived here and he didn't want to be reminded of Mom. He loved her, no doubt and I think it effected him even worse than me. They were married for 25 years!

I was brought out of thoughts when Alexa and Rylan pulled into my drive way and honked the horn.

"RYLAN! get in back, you know i get front." I tell him and he reluctantly gets out and gets in the back. It was a daily routine.

"You're lucky i love you!" He says as he pouts in the back seat. Alexa and i both laugh at him and his pouting and she takes off to school. We never had to worry about being late because when you get into a car with Alexa driving, it's like signing a death contract. She drives so fast, but i guess we get to where we need, when we need.

We arrive at school in record time. We get out and walk into Greensburg, receiving greetings from those ' friends' i was telling you about.
