The day before Christmas Eve

My name is Adeline Nelson. I'm a high schooler currently in grade 11, not to many friends as they say I'm a "nerd". I really don't consider myself a nerd I barely know anything. Anyways, this is my "daily entry" just trying to keep track of this Christmas for the future, as you know everyone dies. It is the 23rd of December, 2018. I'm currently wearing a Kylie and Kendall green jacket with a floofy hood, with a light pastel pink sweater under it. Blue ripped jeans and the black vans which everyone is wearing now. I'm a 17 year old and I have kinda a baby face to be honest, baby blue eyes, brown hair down to my lower back, I'm considered curvy, biggish butt and bigger bust then other girls yet I am short about 5"1.
Anyways....
My family is a basic white family. Not big, not small. We are Ukrainian but my dad is Spanish so I don't quite belong since I'm his only kid he deserted. He left me with my auntie at the age of 4. Never have I ever seen my dad since then and my mom? She passed when I was 8. Like I said we are a medium sized family....only about two people show up.

Since mom and dad have been out of our life everyone just left.

My auntie, her husband, their kid Lenny, and I are the only ones who celebrate Christmas anymore.

We live in a bad area of town, where the poor live yet my auntie try's to keep us happy and spends almost all her money getting us stuff to fit in with other kids, hence the Kylie and Kendall apparel and basic vans.

She's a artist, and a drunk....
Her husband is always at work probably cheating on her if I'm being honest. I mean he already hits her on the daily, so why not cheat too?

Lenny is different.
He's considered a popular kid but I don't know how. He always drives around by hisself, whenever someone wants to hang out with him he denies. Girls always come over and every time they do they chill in the family room and if she says anything he doesn't like she's gone, right away. I think the popularity has done a toll on him.

There's me wishing people would hang out with me but instead I sit at one table everyday having my lunch watching everyone talk, laugh and have an ok time at St.Daniel's high school.

4:30pm 23rd

My usual visit to the gym, even if I don't need it, it's something to do.

I go straight to the changing room and change into my black sports bra with a baggy grey shirt draped over my body and black tights.

Set up my yoga mat and start doing downward dog.

While I was doing this I looked beyond my legs to see a tall, 5"8, guy with brown shaggy hair staring my way. I felt my face start on fire and quickly went to my next pose avoiding his gaze.

When finished I headed to the leg press machine. I Just reached my goal of 330 pounds when I looked to the side of my to see him there again staring making it very obvious as he stopped everything he was doing just to stare. I again began to become red. Finishing my set I decided it was time to head home.

Exiting the changing room, there he was again, we exited exactly the same time.

I went to go sign out at the front desk were to my surprise it was Joey working today.
"Hey! Adeline! Your still working out here?! I missed you!"
"Haha yea. How bout you Joey. Didn't know you worked here."
"Yea just started a week ago"
