How I See It

Chapter 1 - The Girl On The Street

My alarm goes off at 06:00 AM to remind me that there isn't much time to get ready for another hard working day at Hazardville High. My alarm is my annoying sister by the way.

I go through my normal routine: Wake up, ask for coffee, watch TV for 15 minutes, shower, change, brush my teeth, and off we go. But then forget my lunch box and rush back to get it.

Exiting the car that my mother had taken us to school to, I feel super pumped cause school means that I get to study harder to become successful and spend time with my friends. My class exists out of 17 classmates and Mrs. Whittmore. She's our register teacher, which means that we, as a class, spend 10 minutes to talk about events or even catch up before we have to start the day with classes. She teaches English to the entire High School.

I enter the school grounds and me and my sister part our ways and to go to class. While I'm walking, people chatter and, of course, looks at me and laugh. I've been called bullied ever since I could even remember. People always talk bad about me and always say stuff that isn't true.I ignore them and try to think positive thoughts. I see my friends waving and feel much better.

I got Nikita, who really gets all my feelings and understands me. She talked me into Netflix, which I am really grateful for. Rose, who I've been friends with since I was 11 years old who knows me too well.
We fight. A lot. But seem to recover every time. Kylie, who just got back from another school that she attended for a year but came back. Anonymously. I used to like her a lot in Middle School. When she came back, she brought that spark between us that I've been searching for. Ava, who always brightens up my day with her sassy attitude that everyone wishes was in Broadway. Whenever people would make rude comments to her, I would go out of my way to protect her. Charlotte, who fell hardly in love with Blueface, that has this support in her that makes you feel like your special. She always goes on about how I would pursue my dreams and become a successful actor. Zander, my cousin, misbehaves every time you exhale a breath. It's not THAT bad, is it? Anyway, he superglued Mrs. Whittmore's toes together onto her shoes. But he wants us all to forget that comical but catastrophic day.

"Did you study for science?", Ava asks with a panicky voice. Of course, the tests.

"Yeah... I did, but it's just so confusing." I really try to study my butt off for these tests. These tests are really important to me. My parents try to encourage me to get at least 4 distinctions at the end of each term and surprisingly I passed all my tests with flying colors and got 4 distinctions.

As soon as the bell rings, we enter the class with only our pencil cases in our shaky hands. We stand behind our chairs and greet Mrs. Whittmore. We get permission to be seated and to keep quiet. As soon as the tests have been handed out, I carefully read through the spun-out test.

"What?, I whisper but make an expression on my face. I studied the wrong stuff. Lovely.

I can't believe this is happening. I try to calm myself by singing my new obsession's songs in my head, Bhad Bhabie.

I take my pen and full in the test. As soon as I finish, I lay on my arms and sense the smell of my ink still drying to dry up.

Everyone finishes up and Mes. Whittmore hands in our tests. But before she does that, she always says,"Check your work."

We exit the class with delight. Of course everyone shares their answers as we walk to the first class of the day. And so the day goes by with laughter and hard work.

School is finally over. My mind switches over to weekend mode. Me, Kylie and Rose have decided to go to the movies tonight. I try to take a nap, but suddenly I see that it's dark outside. I get up and rub my eyes. I get ready and text the group that I'll be there in a few.
