I'm Just Me

Chapter 1: I'm Obviously Not Ready

Ring! Ring! went my alarm

I had to get ready for my first day at high school.

I wasn't ready for this change, because I saw too many movies.

I ran to the bathroom to get ready. I looked to the mirror DISGUSTED because I felt hideous. My hair was disgusting and knotty and I wouldn't be surprised if I had lice.

When I was young, my mom would tell me to brush my hair because it was really thick and curly but I ignored whatever my mom says. I don't have makeup but I didn't really need any because my skin was nice and smooth.

So all I did in the morning was brush my teeth and wash my face and I had to make my own breakfast since my mom never really woke up to take care of me.

I ate my breakfast and then waited for the bus. I was making a change and was gonna actually ride the bus. I never rode the bus in middle school.

The bus finally came and I got on.

There was lots of people on it, and they all stared at me but I wouldn't blame them because I felt hideous. I sat down in the back alone for the whole ride.

When we got to the school I was the last to get off the bus. I saw a lot of cliques, like the cheerleaders, the jocks, the nerds and geeks, and lots of more random cliques. I didn't fit in at all.

The jocks were looking pretty muscular though so I kinda stared but they looked like seniors so I had no chance.

Then suddenly I see...Jai Daniels.

We used to be best friends but it all changed in the middle of sixth grade. He betrayed me for the popular crowd and ever sense then, we never talked.

I see why he wouldn't want to be my friend though. He probably got tired of my continuous drama and stuff but mostly he probably was tired of seeing my face.

Of course when I start thinking of him as more than a friend he leaves. I feel like I can't have anyone. I don't even have any friends.

------------------------------

I walk to my first period class which is math.

Of course.

-------------------------------

When that horror was over I had to go to my second period class which was chemistry and I see Jai walk in there too.

Well this'll be fun.

"Okay class, I'll be your chemistry teacher," the chemistry teacher says while I try to find a seat.

I sit right behind Jai and Jai sits right next to this beautiful girl with PERFECT hair. It was Jazzy, Jai's ex girlfriend.

"Hey Jai, " she reaches for Jai's hand.

He snatches away and stands up and since I was sitting alone he decided to sit by me.

You might be thinking,

OMG THIS IS HER CHANCE TO MAKE A MOVE!

but NO of course not.

So we sat there awkwardly and I said nothing because what could I say, "we used to be besties in elementary school until you ditched me for some desperate girls and cool guys" NEVER!

" Hey Avery," Jai says with a sigh.

Wtf am I daydreaming? No because he's looking at me!

"Um hey Jake, " I say 'cooly' just realizing what I had called him, " I MEAN JAI!"

OMG I said that really loud and I think I spit in his face

"Um, yeah," Jai says looking weirded out and then he wiped off my spit.

I smile awkwardly and turned away. No wonder he stopped being my friend. I was SO awkward!

"I'm sorry about th-the thing I just did," I say stammering.

"Okay," He says like he doesn't want to talk.

Way to go Avery...
