The Affairs of a Teenage Legend

Chapter 1

I stared aimlessly at the stars that hung above my bed. It's 5:45am and I simply cannot sleep. Today is the first of my 5 years of high school. I force my body to roll over onto my scattered pillows as I exhaled a deep breath. I am stricken with fear and excitement. My older cousins had endless tales of how horrible high school was and they were very specific when letting me know that I would not fit in. I was a walking bully magnet. That's how they described it. I'm so anxious. I don't want to have a terrible high school experience. I want it to be filled with beautiful memories. I want that Disney type of high school. I want the best friend and the boyfriend and the good grades. I want the freedom. 

I rolled over again, this time facing the alarm clock. It's only been 10 minutes. I have 5 more minutes before my alarms goes off and all I can do is drown in my thoughts.  I took another deep breathe, only this time I held my breath. I held my breath for a few seconds hoping I could suffocate myself. I did not want to die, I just wanted to faint. If I fainted then I won't have to start high school today. *ppsss* I exhaled loudly. I need to stop over thinking, everything will be fine. But....what if everything is not fine? What if I can't make friends because I'm such an introvert and I freak out? What if I go through high school without falling in love? Friends and a boyfriend is not my main priority, I want to have good grades too but growing up I watched a lot of high school romance movies and finding a love that is pure and magical is all I can imagine. I don't think it will ever happen. I am not prefect like all those other girls in the movies. Nobody will want me. I'm 5'3'' tall and I weight 98 pounds. I have no boobs are butt and if I were to rank my beauty, I would give me a 6. I'm the girl that blends in with crowd. I do not stand out in any shape or form. I'm the plain Jane.

I wish one day that I could become an outspoken person but myself and inner thoughts wont let me accomplish those goals, so I sit and endure my torture.

*buzz* *buzz* my alarm finally went off and I rolled out of my bed and dragged myself to the bathroom. I quickly got ready, ate breakfast and went to catch the bus. The bus came earlier than I thought and I smiled at that realization. Maybe I am high school material after all. I'm doing something right. Look at me catching the bus on time even when it's early. I smiled a secret smile to myself and I carried it with me for the entire day. However, I should have known better. What seem like a perfect day was about to become a little more complicated.

The first day of school, it was pretty nice and relaxing. High school was not as scary as my cousins made it seemed. Unfortunately I did not make any friends but I didn't get bullied either so that was a bonus. The school bell went off and everyone started rushing to the entrance of the school to catch their respective bus.

"Oh shit"  I stared in horror as I saw my bus leaving without me. Panicked and scared, I called my mom with tears rimming my eyes to explain to her what happened. Long story short, I'm stupid. So what happened was.....I took the wrong bus this morning. That is why the bus left me, because it shouldn't be waiting on me. I knew the bus that picked me up this morning came little too early. I quickly found my respective bus after my mom instructed on which one was the correct bus.

As I settled myself on one of the seats, "can I sit beside you?" Asked someone above me. I glanced up only to be met with the most beautiful face I have every seen. I had only seen guys like him in high school romantic movies. My whole body was screaming with glee. I quickly nod my head in a yes motion as I was too scared to speak.
What if he found my voice ugly? What if my breath stinks? I can't let  my future husband's first impression be that I have stank breath. This is too much. I sat rigidly beside him but ever so slightly trying to move my shoulders a little bit closer to his. I wanted to feel his body heat mingle with mine. Is that creepy? Yes it's creepy. Don't touch him. I pushed my body against the window, trying to push away the thoughts from my mind. 

I got home and I smiled at myself in the mirror. I have a crush. I can't believe it. I have a high school crush. After I finished my homework, I drafted a plan on how to make him notice me.
Step 1-
"I'm never going to have a boyfriend" I'm too nervous and inexperience. How can I make someone like me ? It was useless.

The week went by and everyday he sat beside me. I think he likes me. There is no way you sit beside someone everyday for an entire week without liking them, well I'm hoping. During that week I have learnt that his name is Brian Seagulle . I over heard someone calling him by his name. Bonus points he smiled at me twice during the week. This gave me the courage to finally make a plan on how to make him my boyfriend. Operation make Brian my boyfriend is in the making. Over the weekend I watched every romantic movie I could find and I came up with three simple steps on how to get the boy.
Step 1- smile (a lot)
Step 2- laugh at his jokes
Step 3- play with your hair
I was ready to make him mine.

When Monday evening rolled around and everyone was getting on the bus, Brian was no where to be found. I was a bit worried. He is ruining my plans of making him my boyfriend.

"Where is he?" I asked myself, however, I should have never asked myself a question I did not want the answer to. As I stared through the bus window, I saw Brian holding hands with one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen and then the worst thing that could have happened, happened. They kissed. I felt my whole world slowly crumble. It was a slow on painful experience. Is this what a heart break feels like? My heart hurts. I could feel tears poking at my eyes. I did not want to cry. I was stupid to think that a guy like him would like me and I was more of an idiot to think that a guy like him would be single.

After they finished kissing (disgracefully I might add) he sat beside me. The most shocking thing happened to me in that moment. I realized that I still wanted him. I still liked him. I want him to be mine.
Oh crap, I guest I'm the sharpay of this universe, I wanted to be Gabriella. I smiled sadly as I realized my faith. The person I want cannot be mine unless I break their relationship.

To be continued.....
Will she successfully ruin their relationship and make him hers? Find out in chapter 2.
