Chapter 1.
Um hi I guess.
I'm Veronica Stevens. But my friends call me Vicky. Well if I had friends they would.
I'm 15 years old.
My councillor told me to write in a diary to make me feel like I have someone to talk to. Cause I'm just a, umm, what do you call it...a loner. I have no friends.
I'm from a small town in the middle of nowhere and recently I just moved to Stodburd elementary in L.A, and I know, well, no one. Even before I moved.
I've never been good at making friends. I've always turned away from opportunities and lived basically, in the shadows. I've always been invisible and well, I'm good at it.
When I was five my parents divorced and none of them wanted me, so they sent me to foster home where I've lived until I was eight, then a kind man decided to adopt me. He lost his wife and son in a car crash and he said that even though he knows I'm not his daughter, he still loves me with all his heart.
So I've never had any experiences of having friends. Until yesterday...
It started when I was at the lunch table by myself.
"Hey look it's icky Vicky, hahahaha" said a girl from my English class.
"Oi icky! Move! That's my table"
She shoved me to the ground as I was pushing out my chair.
"I-I-I-I'm sorry" I replied.
"Yeah, you better be!"
Ugh that's basically every day of my life! It's been one week and they already have a mean nickname.
"Stop being so mean to her! Pick on someone your own size" said a voice from the from the corner of the same table as mine.
"Why should I?" The bully replied (I don't quite know her name yet)
"Because, that's just ahhh....umm... Mean!"
And of course the one person that would stick up for me is a nerd, a nerd that can't even be mean for a miller second.
"Yeah! Why do you have to be such jerks?" Yelled a guy I've never seen before.
"I'm sorry, but, who do you think you are?" They replied.
"Your mum! Stop being such jerks and get on with your stupid life!"
I was shocked. Who was he and why was a guy that was NEW, helping me?
"Hi, are you ok?" He said as I got up from the ground.
"Ye-e-ah I'm fine" I replied
"Ok. I didn't quite catch your name?"
"O-oh, I'm Veronica, are you new?" I said quite quickly.
"Yeah I just moved here yesterday, people say I'm, over confident. I was a jock at my old school so I'm sorta just blending into my environment, I can't stand bullying, I saw it all the time, but not to such pretty girls"
*wait...did he just call me pretty?*
"Oh yeah sorry, I'm Jack"
"Nice to meet you" I said awkwardly, like always.
"Nice to meet you too Veroni-"
"Oh, you can call me Vicky" I said as I interrupted him.
"well then, nice to meet you too...Vicky haha. Well I guess I'll see you round?"
"Oh yeah totes, OH I mean totally, NO I mean, sure!"
"Hahaha see yah"
*oh my gosh! and as you can see, that's how amazing I am when I'm nervous.
