BOOK 1
THE BEGINNING

Hi, I'm Olivia. Olivia Hollister. What you're about to read is my life. From the very beginning as a matter of fact. Here it goes...

M iddle school. Specifically being Charles Harris Middle School. I was just twelve and everything seemed pretty normal to me.

After mum dropped me off at the gate, I had walked into my new school shaking and wondering about the regular things a twelve year old would think.

I wondered if I'd have new friends, I wondered if people would like me.

Actually, now that I think about it. That wasn't what was going through my mind. All I had wanted at that very moment was food. I skipped breakfast because mum didn't let me have my regular cereal.

I was grumpy and hungry and just wanted food. Was that too much to ask?!

Anyway, since I was weird as hell and didn't have the slightest idea of what to do, I decided to look for my bestfriend - Adante Ackerman.

Adante wasn't like me. She wasn't weird and didn't have full blown black curls on her head. She had the most beautiful dark skin that glowed under the sun. She was tall, really tall for a twelve year old. Adante was what my parents would call sophisticated. The only weird part was what we bonded over- our love for Oreos and Skittles. Plus, she had braces.

"Addy hey! Oh my God, I'm so excited you're here with me. I don't even think I'll survive this place without you."

"Hi Olly. I'm shocked you're even excited to see me. Whatever happened to our summer plans? I'm supposed to be mad at you, you know." Adante said to me with a look that could kill.

What happened was, my parents were about to go through with a divorce and I didn't even want to think about it. I never uttered a word about it to anyone - including Addy. Thankfully, they never went through with the divorce.

"I'm so sorry A, something came up and it surely couldn't be left alone. I promise you I'll tell it to you soon. Please don't be mad at me." I begged.

Actually, I didn't care. I just didn't want to have to walk alone to my classes today.

Oops.

"Fine, but that means you owe me a box of oreos. I'm not even playing." Adante said smiling at me. "So what's the first thing we're going to do today? I'm honestly not ready for orientation because I need my sleep. I was binge watching on..."

And that's where I tuned her out. Addy, always rambles on and on and never stops. And she also goes out of context. Not that she was a terrible person - oh no! She wasn't at all. I just didn't like how she said too much unnecessary things.

So this is where my journey finally begins.

New school, same faces and new faces, same old rules.
Maybe finally, I can be who I want to be. No more problems. I just want a stress free life where I can be able to make new friends and be happy.

I turned around and looked at the people around me, different faces and skins. Especially people with different backgrounds.

Taking in everything I saw before me, I turned back around and took the very first step to beginning my new life in Middle School.

Little did I know that nothing had happened yet and I was going to have a hard time.

Author's Note
****

So basically, this is the very first chapter of book 1. I have alot planned for this book and I actually do hope it goes as planned.

Firstly, I'd like to say that most of these things that would happen in the book might have happened. Or not. I'm not spilling anything.

Then again, I'd also like to thank you for picking this book to read. Everyone has to start from somewhere, no matter how little.

Forgive me for making this chapter short, but I did it that way for a reason. I promise that the other chapters would be longer and better. Give the book a chance and you won't regret it.

So there's Book 1
*That's Olivia being in Grade 7 - 9

then Book 2
*Olivia being in Grade 10-12

then the final book, Book 3
*Olivia in University

So as you can see, the plans I'm having are going to be extremely good. Not to bloat or anything, just saying.

Be expectant of something good. And have fun while reading it. No hateful comments because you can get blocked. But be free to give helpful criticism.

Also, don't forget to share, vote and comment.

Thanks guys!

Love,
Marie.
