Another Me

Bailey, the second reason

Everyone was scared to start their new lifes, I was too. In the first year of middle school, I did not know what I should do with the people in my class. Try to be popular? To be me? Or should I just be a shadow? I think you already picked one, but I tried to be a populair girl. That's when I met Bailey.

Bailey was a quiet girl, but she ended up with the populair girls anyway. Every guy wanted to hang out with that group, even with her. It was probably because of her beauty, and I've got to admit, she is beautiful.

We did get along at first. We were always chatting about the guys we liked, she liked Noah, and I liked, Thomas, two sporty guys in our class. After a few weeks, the other two girls were jealous, and they started to throw some dirt. One time, they took a photo of Bailey in her underwear, and they told her I had made it and that I would send it to the whole school if she weren't giving me money. A weird thing at the time, but Bailey believed those girls. Soon, the girls started a fight with Bailey, because they told me that Bailey said she was sure I made a picture, and made me pick their side. Luckily for us, these two girls failed the first year.

In the second year, Bailey and I were best friends, and that lasted until the third year. In the third year, she started to hang out with other people, Jessy and Lyna. Jessy was cool, she was a punk kind of girl, never afraid. But Lyna was like Lynda, she was afraid of being alone. It didn't take her a long time to claim Bailey. They did everything together, Lyna even dropped Jessy for it.

Bailey and I used to do things together, going to the movies and things like that. But after a while, she started to hang out with some other friends as well. She was fan of Ed Sheeran, and at a concert, she fond some people with the exact same interests. All the time she used to spend with me, she was now spending with her new friends. At first I was a bit jealous and a bit confused. These friends live on the other side of the country, why would she waste any time on them? After a while, I did understand it. She just didn't like the people around her, and she needed something else. I needed that, too.
