Two lives, one girl

Chapter 1

"Here i stand,
Geting to be me,
This is who i want to be,
no lookin back now,
I'll stand up tall,
And show them all..."

Those are some lyrics from one of my songs, the first song I wrote after I got my big break in the music world. Except things have changed since then. I'm no longer getting to be me,
I'm not the person I want to be,
and all I'm doing is looking back now.
It all started back when I was 15...

"Wait up!" Maya shouts as she pulls a grey beanie over her sleek black hair and drops her skate board to the floor trying to catch up to me. "What's the rush anyway? Its only school" she says, as she catches up.
"I just don't want to be late" I say willing my board to go faster.
"Right" she says looking at me knowingly. "So its nothing to do with wanting to get to class without being seen or tormented by Lizzy?" She raises her eyebrow and looks at me.
"No!" I practically shout but i more of trying to convince myself of it. Maya looks at me and raises her eyebrow again. "fine" i admit, "I'm just so sick of it and I'm too shy to stand up to her, its easier to just try and be invisible" I sigh.
"I get what you mean, but if you where invisible then we would of never met!" Maya says with a grin as she tries to cheer me up.
I smile back, "well we wouldn't of wanted that would we?" I say teasingly as we approach the school gates and jump of are skateboards.
"Hey!" She lightly punches me on the arm and smiles at my terrible joke. I really don't know what i'd do without this girl, she's been my best friend for as long as i can remember and the fact we live next door to each other is amazing.
I smile at her and giggle "come on, lets get to class be for were late." I pick up my board and we walked towards the class room.
