Summer

My story

Hi my name is summer Lee. I'm 13 and I am just your average girl. I have Bright blue eyes and im really short. I'm not the most confident person in the world, im really shy too which doesn't help. I love my music just as much as the next girl and I love my drawing too. Some days I can draw so perfectly and other days my drawing skill consists of stick figures.

My parents separated when I was 3. Dad left mum and now I get thrown between them. A week at mums a week at dads the usual. My mother was supposes to get full custody of me but my dad just kept fighting for half I have no idea why. We don't even get along all that well. After all these years it just seems normal to me. I always thought I was an only child until my parents decided to tell me I had an adopted brother. His name was Charlie. His mum had to give him up because she was mentally unstable. The department of human right put Charlie into a boys home and that's how my parents found him.

Charlie was 10 when they adopted him. Still all cute and innocent . Then 3 year later mum fell pregnant with me, little Summer lee. I have never met Charlie in my life. He would be 26. I always ask about him but my parents don't like to talk about him. I have only ever seen photos of him. He seems like a really nice guy. Tall blond hair, Green eyes and a really wide smile. He was such a cute kid. My parents didn't have the money to give me and Charlie a loving environment to grow up in so Charlie went back to the boys home. Much to my mums descust. She really did love that boy.

School was really easy for me. I made friends really easily. I was liked by most students and Teachers. I wasn't the smarted nor the dumbest, I guess I was just in the middle. English was always my favourite subject. My last year in middle school was defiantly the best. Because I was older I got to help all the little kids on there first few weeks of school. Yes I was great with kids. Because I had never been given any younger siblings I loved little kids.

I had the most amazing boyfriend Troy Milton. God he was just so perfect. He was tall with brown eyes and had even darker brown hair. He was the perfect boyfriend any girl could ask for. I remember going to school one day and I couldn't find him anywhere. Days went by then Weeks. After a few months i just gave up and admitted to myself that we had officially broken up because he left and never told me anything about it. He didn't even send me letters of anything. Some amazing boyfriend he turned out to be.

So today is the day we all sign our papers to say what high school we will be attending for my next year. Lilly, Matt, Jen and Lee where all going to St. Levis. They where my four best friends and they mean the world to me. It was a really upper class school. While I on the other hand was being forced to go to St. Miller. No one from my school was going there. It would be my first year not having my little gang. They where the best. We shared so many memories at that school now they would all create new ones at St. Levis collage without me. It was kind of scary.

So I had a new school, new teachers, new students and a whole heap of new drama. That I really wasn't looking forward to, I wasn't your typical girly girl who loved to gossip and cake on there make-up. I liked not knowing who fucked who, what girl was the school slut this week and what the latest news was. I was just happy chilling with my little group of friends. Talking about the latest episode of a current TV show we where all watching.

I remember saying to mum I would make an effort to fit in even if that means dealing with pathetic girl gossip, acting fake and being someone I wasn't. I could never lie to someone so being fake defiantly wasn't a strong point of mine. I would make friends that took me out of my shell and see things I have never experienced before. I'm pretty sure she knew I wasn't going to though. Meeting new people wasn't really my thing. I was a shy person and never overly confident. So going up to a stranger and talking to them kind of scared me a little bit.

My school life just wasn't the same with my little gang. Classes where never as fun. I always had Mel, my best friend by my side but it wasn't the same. No offence to her but she was never as good as Lilly, Jen, Matt or Lee. I didn't really get bullied or picked on but I could tell everyone was judging me because I was shy. I never spoke up or talked back.I was a straight A student most of the time.

I was different I never really fit in any where. I wasn't a girly girl nor was I a tomboy. I was just in the middle. Mel and Isaac where my only friends at school. But by the end of the year I had made some amazing friends. I was friends with people I never thought I would be friends with. I was even friends with some of the popular people. I was proud of my self.

Mel was my first friend I had made at high school. She was tall,black hair and had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen! The green in them was so bright. She seemed so confident in her self. Like nothing could touch her. She could walk up to anyone and just start talking to them. She was never stuck up just really confident in her self.

The day I met her my whole life changed! She made he happy. She turned into my best friend real quick! Still to this day I'm not sure if she changed me for the better or for the worse. I'm a totally different person than who I was when I first started school. I'm now confident enough to talk to a complete stranger because of Mel, she brought me out of my tiny shell I was curled up in. I would thank her a thousand times over if I could.
