"It's dark outside, a world on fire that no one's safe from, It's life or death, so hold your breath or suffocate them, Provoking fears, with smoking mirrors, the tensions rising, We waste our time, and ait in line while nothing changes" -Papa Roach, "Renegade Music"
Let me start off by saying Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Like any normal family, my family gets together for a huge Thanksgiving lunch or dinner. Actually, we do that for Easter and Christmas, too. Anyway, all of our family gatherings go the same way every year. We hang out for hours and hours and get fatter. That's not what this is about though.
I hate every family gathering known to man. I can't stand most of the people in my family. Let's start with my mom's side of the family. There's my Aunt Colleen, Uncle Dave, Kiernan, and Molly. Obviously, Kiernan and Molly are their kids, my cousins. There's Sharon, Ray, Timmy, and Trevor, can't forget their girlfriends either, Stacy and Aly. Sharon is my moms' cousin and Ray is her boyfriend. Timmy and Trevor are Sharon's sons. Wait, there's more. Michael, Shannon, and Patrick. Michael is my moms' cousin, Sharon's brother. Shannon is Michael's wife and Patrick is their son. There's Aunt Joy and Uncle Winn. That's my moms' aunt and uncle, Uncle Winn is in assisted living because he has Alzheimers and dementia. Last, but could never be least, Aunt Nancy. She lives alone and she was never married and never had kids also, no boyfriend, however, a friend with benefits if you know what I mean.
Aunt Nancy didn't come to Thanksgiving this year, it was her only day off from work in the entire month. Everyone else was there, except Timmy's girl...I mean fiance, Stacy. Not the point. I feel left out at all family gatherings. Molly has a thyroid issue to talk about, Kiernan has health problems and a job to talk about as well as doing well in school, and Joey, my brother has amazing grades and health problems to talk about. Timmy has his wedding. Trevor has college. My point is everyone has something to talk about. What do I have?
I have nothing. My grades aren't good. I have no health problems. No job. I don't play sports or participate in clubs. There's nothing for me to talk about. I don't feel like I belong with them. It's like all of them want to brag about something or make someone feel sympathy for them. I don't fit in with them or stand out, I'm just there. Just like school, I'm just there. No one asks how you're doing. How's school? Did you get good grades?
People usually wonder why I don't tell them things. It's because they never ask. If you want to know something, ask.
I should mention that this story is called "Fat Girls Romance", but there's no romance yet. Trust me there will be romance. Right now it's everything leading up to the romance because let's just say the character hasn't found it yet.
