That Girl Changed Me (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 1

Author's Note (2020):
I logged back in today many years after writing this to delete this embarrassing part of my past from my life, but then I saw how many people were still getting something out of it, and I couldn't bring myself to do it yet. When I was a young high schooler, this story meant something to me. But please understand that the abuse and other trigger-warning-worthy themes in this story came from me as a kid trying to cope with my own trauma, not me trying to strategically romanticize heavy things that are real-world issues. This is poorly written and cringey, but hey, if you wanna read it then knock yourself out. But please take care of yourself, and afterwords maybe go read something that handles those themes better and is actually written well. (The rest of the author's notes in this story are old ones from me in the past).

Tola Brooks' p.o.v.

As I walked into my new school, I could feel the eyes of curious students glued to me. In a town this small, being a new student meant being subjected to the temporary full attention of the small high school's population. They were trying to figure out where I would belong in their petty social system. Soon enough, they would realize that I wanted nothing to do with any of them. Their gazes peeved me, and I momentarily considered flipping them all off, but dismissed the thought swiftly. I needed to attract as little attention as possible.

After glancing briefly at the sharpied schedule on the back of my hand, I found my classroom and quickly entered.

"Ah, you must be Tola Brooks. Welcome to Wilson High School! You may take a seat anywhere you want. My name is Mrs. Daniels," said my teacher with a smile. Everyone in the room turned to look at me when they realized they had first hour with the new kid. I heard a boy wolf whistle, and I clenched my jaw, ignoring him. I needed to stay neutral. I needed to be invisible. Don't make enemies, don't make friends.

In preparation for this, I had specifically dressed in clothes that were a bit too big for me and didn't show my figure to avoid attracting the attention of boys like the one who whistled, and I had also not bothered with applying my makeup or styling my hair. To hide my bright green eyes, I was wearing brown eye contact lenses.

I nodded at Mrs. Daniels and found an empty seat in the back, paying attention to the first few minutes of class before zoning out disinterestedly and staying that way for the rest of the period. I already knew this subject, but the school insisted I take it.

Each class was the same as the first. All the kids watched me, a couple of annoying guys flirted with me, and I blatantly ignored everyone. I was in my 4th hour class now, Team Concepts; physical education class. After being given the mandatory uniform and introducing myself to Mr. Jacobson, the teacher, I entered the girls locker room and searched for my locker number. I discovered with relief that mine was in the very back section, where I only had to share the area with one other girl who was in the process of changing. I breezed past her, heading to my locker. After shoving my bag in the locker and setting down the uniform, I grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled it off.

I paused as I was about to pull on my gym shirt. I felt someone's eyes on me.

Natalie Truly's p.o.v.

I watched in surprise as a girl I'd never seen before walked past me without a glance and stopped at a locker. I was usually the only one in this section of the locker room, but I guess she was new here and was assigned this section too.

Getting a view of her profile, I realized just how beautiful she was. She had perfectly arched eyebrows, long black hair, prominent cheek bones, big beautifully shaped eyes, full lips and flawless pale skin. I couldn't rip my eyes off of her as she took off her shirt with ease, and I found that her body was just as gorgeous as her face. The shirt she wore did her no justice.
