So.... who am I  ?

Ava,  Ava Johnson. One of the top students of 8th class. 
Not only in studies but also in circular activities. 

This is the reason I have never been bullied for being a nerd, cause I have a strong impression in school.  Not only among middle school students but also among highschool students .

I am also very well known for my singing and acting capabilities.  I have many rivals but a few enemies.

My best rivals are my best friends.

Philip , who can calculate at speed of light.
Extremely kind but a little overprotective in nature,  only a little. He doesn't like me being with bad students and often guide me to stay away from them.  When you see him,  it reminds you of something from Jack and the Bean stalk. 
Not the giant but the Bean stock.
And I,  in comparison to him is poor  Jack.  Small in height. 

Next is Amara , An actual teddy bear.  When you see her, the only thing you want is to hug and squish her.  She is pretty squishable and fluffy.  Also gifted in maths,  she and Philip always fight on who is  class topper . The problem is instead of referring to themselves as topper,  they call each other topper  .

And then is me.  Good in maths and almost every subject.  A perfectionist seeking for perfectionism within me.  Bad in sports and doing my best to improve it. 

In 8th class,  we all auditioned for being in a Shakespeare play , Romeo and Juliet. 

I auditioned and got selected for Juliet. Amara auditioned and became narrator.  And then there was Philip who auditioned for Romeo.
I was worried about what will happen if he becomes Romeo.  I didn't want to be in a romance with my own best friend.  The only thought disgusted me.  Thankfully,  his acting skills weren't good enough. 

I still remember him standing there imitating Romeo and saying useless phrases.  We basically had to drag him out of their to prevent out insulting. 
However,  teachers were quite impressed by his confidence and offered him a good role , of churchman . I was pretty happy that he wasn't selected for Romeo but it only lasted a few seconds when I came to know who is playing Romeo .

Him.Brendan.

I never became friends with that guy.  Never.  I agree he is quite handsome with back swept raven coloured hair which lie  above those mesmerising
brown eyes and slightly tanned skin but....  I never ever talk to him.  He is always surrounded by girls. Those same girls who were planning to bully Juliet but backed off when they discovered it was me. He is quite a mystery to me.  No one knows about how good he is in studies,  never saw him playing sports and neither he is in music.  He even don't have friends. Just his slave like friends whom he
orders around. His only close friend is Shane.He is like Archie from Archie's comics.  Good for nothing  but still famous.

Today is the day I will get my report card.  Today I will find if my hard work was worth it or not.
I continue walking towards class teacher , my heart pounding within my chest,  fearing all the possibilities of not getting  A+ .
" Congratulations Ava,  you scored highest marks in class "
My lips curved into a smile when I saw my percentage, 96 % . Which included a 100/ 100 in maths.

"  Well Ava,  you are tied scoring highest along with Amara,  Diana and Hannah. "

As I said,  my best rivals are my best friend.  I was so happy to find out I tied with her. Phillip on other hand Scored 95 % .

  Diana is also a close friend of mine . She is a potterhead and a big pizza eater.  She could trade her friends for a pizza  . She is very dearly to me. 

But Hannah is someone I don't like.  Hannah and Diana were best friends until Hannah misbehaved with her .
On the event of sports day in 8th class, Diana got selected instead of Hannah.  So Hannah planned a trap and kicked her out of sports day.  There was literally a world war in our class because of them which ended when Diana's friend,  Laura dropped an F bomb on Hannah. 

They never became friends after that.
Hannah doesn't only fight with Diana but with most of every single student in class,  thus no one talks to her, including me .

One student I left out is Kacee.  She is like
' what is happening in class '
' Why is it happening in class '
' When did this happen '
' My life sucks '
' my lazy butt don't wanna work '

In plane words, I try to fill up the left 4 % in my first year of highschool, wishing to be surrounded by these wonderful people all the time.  I await for my journey in my first year of highschool.
