From Geekville To Gorgeous Town

Chapter 41

I concluded that I was a really emotional teenage wreck. I had managed to become angry with Danica's unwanted visit this morning, to feeling content with someone who was willing to trust me and accept me like Adrianna had. I then managed feeling confident from all of the compliments that I received, to feelings of despair like the old me. I had a full day of emotions to run through me within four hours of the day. I knew I was just at the half way point of the day so I should probably prepare myself for some tears and what other emotion I had allowed to slip by.

I somehow managed to clear my head and I had gotten past the negative thoughts. I had accepted that I had changed physically and mentally. The old me had given up on being accepted and she welcomed the unhappiness she had survived on for so long. I was different now. I smiled out of no where and if anyone had been paying attention to me they may have thought I had released some gas and was feeling mighty relieved with the goofy smile I was making.

I quickly wiped away my smile. I focused in on Mrs. Moore and what the syllabus for the year was. I noticed a few glances from some of my classmates on me occasionally, but I was not going to allow myself to fret again.

The guy in front of me turned around right before the bell sounded.

"Would you mind if I did an article on you for our school newspaper? I just find your spirit so impressive and I would love to hear your story and what persuaded you to change?" He asked with a serious expression. I was stunned. I looked at him so confused with a loss of words. Luckily the bell sounded.

"Just think it over and let me know ok?" He asked finally breaking a smile. I just stood frozen and unsure of what just happen. I finally snapped out of it when Mrs. Moore asked if I had a question.

I hurried along to meet Adrianna after I stood baffled and lost in my own confusion. I wanted to brag so much on what I was just offered, but she had no idea what I looked like before, and it was way too soon to scare her.

"So are you liking it at all?" I asked when I got close enough for her to hear me.

"It's school. I am adjusting I suppose." She answered with an unsure look on her face. I smiled to encourage her. I asked to see her schedule again. I should of had it memorized by now, but my mind was an endless wonder today. I got excited when I realized we had our next class together and it was also our lunch break class. I was hopeful I would actually have someone to talk to at lunch for the first time since elementary school.

Adrianna seemed happy about it as well. She had a big smile of relief. We walked into the class together smiling.

We took our seats sitting by one another. I went ahead and got my lunch money from my wallet. I was rather hungry. I suppose my emotional battle had triggered my hunger.

Adrianna saw me preparing for lunch by getting my money together and she followed my example. I gave her a thumbs up. I liked to be prepared.

"It becomes a wild stampede when the lunch bell goes off." I explained smiling. She nodded her head showing she understood. I had a minute to spare before the tardy bell sounded. I decided to dig out my phone so I could message Tristen at lunch. I had one new message from him asking how my day was going. I texted him back saying ok so far accept my emotional roller coaster I had put myself on. I made sure I silenced my phone and I put my phone in the waistline of my skirt due to having no pockets.

Everyone scrambled to their seats just as the final bell sounded. I looked around the class to see who all I was surrounded by this time. I did feel a little more at ease since Adrianna was in the class with me, but I also knew certain people may give away that I had changed drastically.
