Apps are harmless and a great source of entertainment. It's a way to escape reality and all of your problems. At least that's what Hannah thought. After her best friend publicly humiliated her she found herself turning to the internet for comfort. T...
School had been long and tiring, Amelia and her clique had done their best to put me down. From giggling and whispering behind my back to "accidentally" tripping me over in our P.E lessons.
So when the weekend rolled over I was glad I didn't have to face her. Now I could focus on things that were actually important. Like Amigo. I had been constantly checking if they had contacted me because I was curious about who my new friends would be like.
Would they have the same interests as me? Would we ever meet up offline? What country would they be from? Plenty of questions spun around in my mind resulting in me going back on Amigo.
To my surprise a new contact had been added. It definitely wasn't there yesterday so it must've been done recently.

Finally I had someone to talk to, even if I didn't like them. I had bottled up all my problems and was waiting to tell someone about it. After the whole Amelia debacle, I wasn't sure I'd be able to even meet anyone.

Talking to Charlie was enjoyable. I hardly knew the guy but he reminded me of the banter Amelia used to have. Somehow he had made me forget about last week when he was texting me. He had definitely made me feel less lonely.
Usually on Saturdays I'd go to my drama club with Amelia. I still wanted to go today but I felt nervous about seeing her. Part of me still wanted to know why she had wanted to end of our friendship but I knew I had to put that behind me. No explanation could possibly be reasonable.
Maybe I could ask Charlie for advice? Is it too soon to ask for advice? I don't have much experience with socialising, I've only ever had a few friends before.

At least I feel more confident going to drama club now. Charlie's right I shouldn't let her interfere with my passions.
**** Drama club was more than a club to me. When I was there I felt a strong sense of familiarity as if I truly belonged there. I adored being at drama club, despite the fact I had been only joined a month ago. But as soon as I stepped on that stage and peformed, I knew that acting was in my best interest.
For some strange reason I felt at home more than my actual home. The people there were great too, I just hadn't got to know them well because I spent too much time with Amelia.
Finn rushed into the drama studio panting, his face flushed red. "I am so sorry I'm late guys I los-"
"You lost something?" Last week he was late because lost his bag. Turns out it was in his wardrobe.
He took a seat on his black office chair and quickly logged into his computer. Taking a sip out of his black coffee, he clicked on a word document and faced us grinning.
We all looked at the projecter in awe, not fully believing what was happening.
"WE GET TO PEFORM AT GLASWOOD!" Pippa squeaked unable to contain her excitement. "GOSH I THINK I MIGHT CRY!"
For any one who's lost, Glasswood is a posh private school for the rich. If you impress their head teacher, Mr Edwards , you could be recommended to his very close friend, Helen Maude the founder and principal of one of the best theatre schools in London.
"I must ask, what play will we be performing?"
"Very good question Hannah, we shall be performing High School Musical."
I absolutely loved High School Musical. I had watched the movie so many times I already knew the words off by heart. All my childhood dreams were coming true, it didn't feel real at all.
Out of nowhere, Amelia slammed the door open and sauntered into the studio. A few boys wolf whistled at her and she chuckled in response.
"Looks like Amelia got hot over the summer." I heard someone whisper.
"Sorry I'm late Finn, I had to go emergency shopping."
As if. And what the hell is emergency shopping? Lamest excuse I've ever heard.
"Why would I lie about that Melissa? If I'm being honest you just sound jealous." Amelia retorted furrrowing her eyebrows in anger.
Oh shit! Did I say that out loud?
"Whatever." I roll my eyes and turn away from Amelia.
"Now that you guys have finished bickering, I can finally tell you guys some great news." Finn addresses us then faced the class.
"Auditions start next week, here are the scripts."
