It isn't my first day at school, nor is it the actual first day of school. Or a Monday! It is the middle of the week and I am already a hundred percent exhausted. I have all this homework I need to get done by Friday. But all I am thinking about is starting my new babysitting job tonight . I had to find a job to pay for camp this year.
Camp is something I do every year. I love to write and read. This camp is exactly what that's for. Some people use to get on me about going and spending my whole summer lesrning. But what better way to get into college then having this on my application . I want to be a me to move to a bug city and write for a huge paper or magazine. I been preparing myself for that since 6th grade.
All I ever dreamed of was having everyone read everything I write. To have my name all over billboards and be somewhat famous you know ! My older cousin is kind of famous . She's a fashion writer in up state new York . Her name is in all kinds of magazines. She gets to go to fashion shows and criticise them. How lucky ! She said if I get a good enough how and continue to go do these camps she would put the word in to have me do an internship there while I wait for college during the fall.
I haven't had much fun in the past few no the though. I moved to this small town and know nothing or nobody about this place . All I know is that they are big on sports. But mostly football. How original . I mean they got the typical hit guys , in Letterman jackets and cute smiles and faces and nice biceps on the team. Sounds like books I use to love to read. This school and place seem so fictional . I'm just ready for summer to hit. It's spring ! That means it's only a couple of months away before I'm headed out. But I have to raise 200 dollars in order to book my spot !
I feel like I had spaced out the whole day of school stuck in my own thoughts in my head . Well , that pretty much is true . Plus I am a non existence member of the small population of this school . Great , I sound extra pathetic . But it is true , not one single friend or associate . I don't think I have said two words to any of the people in this place. I face time with my old friend Henry . And no not an ex boyfriend or anything. He's gay. He's trying to become a vet. He's got a scholarship to some important vet school and claims that he won't be around anymore . But we all know that had to be a lie. He's going to have so much boy drama in college, he's going to have to spill. I laughed in my head at that. I loved Henry so much. Sucks being in a whole different state then he is. We were always so close. We here up together . Got our first boyfriend's together. All the shopping , pizza dates and movie nights were the best. Sucks so bad to be so far away from him .
School is over , I'm heading to the parking lot where I parked . Not my car but the extra one my parents let me use. I wish they would just allow it to be my car already. I'm pretty sure they are waiting for camp to give it to me. Or they are going to make me do extra chores to earn it.
Im almost to my car when I accidentally bump into someone. He was walking backwards so he couldn't see I was there . But I should have been able to see. I was walking forwards but I was looking at the ground . I really really need to stop doing that. It's going to get me into awkward situations like the current one I am in. Guess who it is ?! You won't believe it ! Freaking PAULY GREEN ! That's right , the one and only captain of the football team. Pauly!
Which makes it more awkward then to bump into then anyone else. I have always had this like tiny tiny crush on him. But not really. If you get my drift . The only reason I do is because yes he is insanely hot. But it's every American girls dream to fall in love with the captain of the football team and in love all high school . It's so original . But what high school junior doesn't want that?! Or any high school girl for that matter !
Your insane if you never ever dreamt of it happening to you .
" my bad" he said to me as he just walked right passed me. Inside I was literally freaking out . Doing cartwheels and jumping up and down. The whole normal feeling you get when a cute guy talks to you.
I didn't get the chance to say it was alright or nothing. He just acted like it was a normal thing to bump into people and just say "my bad" and continue on with your day .
Of course I wasn't mad , but it was time to get to my new job ! One of the things I hated most . Babysitting !
