Katya
Katya woke up around 2:00pm because why not. She got up and got dressed. Put on her signature red lip and black smoky eye before heading downstairs and making herself a coffee. She sat down in the living room saying hi to her mom as she past. Katya sat around till 3:30pm and then she got up and grabbed her helmet to go explore more on her motorbike. Then she remembered that girl she saw under the bleachers. What if she is there now? Katya rode her bike to the school and slowed as she past the bleachers. There that gorgeous girl was again!!! She was writing something in a journal. Katya didn't notice the girl look up at her because She just kept staring as She rode past. Katya decided to go just out of sight and stop to watch the girl. Within 5 minutes of fitting there she could she the girl was crying as she put her journal in the little shed she was leaning against before bringing her guitar up to her chest and playing the most beautiful song
Katya couldn't completely hear it but she could make out some of the lyrics that she quickly typed into her phone so that she could look it up later:

"Up on the silver screen
I picture me living out my passions hopes and fantasies
I want to be the girl in the movies
the one with the glint in her eyes the
girl that seldom loses
beautiful with grace and style
acting out her story
standing in her glory
happy ever after
I want to be the girl in the movies"

Katya has never heard someone with such a beautiful voice before. She knew she had to talk to this mystery girl. But she just didn't know how. Then it hit her she could say something in that girls journal. She just had to wait til the girl leaves so she pulled out her phone and texted a few people and scrolled through Instagram and before she knew it when she looked up the girl was walking away. Katya slowly pulled up on her motorbike and got off walking towards the bleachers. She reached her hand into the little shed and instantly felt the cold leather of a journal. Okay all she was gonna do is say hi. No reading anything in the book just flip to a page. So Katya opened the journal landing on a page that just so happened to have writing on it. Well I mean I guess I can just read this she thought. She realized it was a song as she read

"Weirdness follows me wherever I go
Weirdness seems to know me even better than I seem to know myself
I'm someone else"
"Lookin to the clock beside my bed
Am I really keepin time or isn't only keeping me instead
Go back to bed"
"You've got time to grow—

Katya noticed a little dash next to grow. Almost as if he girl jumped and accidentally did it.

"*chorus*>Soldier take your time
No one said the words all have to rhyme and if they do it's fine
And even if they don't no one needs to know
Soldier you gotta let things go"

"An hour hand moves faster with a scotch
Even when you're in it moving faster every minute if you watch
And drink a lot
But drinking only wakes you up at 10
Spend the day regretting but I'm betting that you'll do it all again
Next weekend"
*chorus*
Katya was amazed by the beautiful lyrics written on the page and she noticed each lower case "I" had a heart instead of just a plain dot. Adorable. Katya flipped to the next page
thinking it would be blank but nope. There was a note and still damp tear stains on the page

"Dear trixie, it's you. Please read this everytime you open this journal. Because I know it's hard to deal with you're stepdad but bruises on your arms will go away and cuts will heal into scars that will fade. Don't let him ever give you permanent damage. Remember that all he can do is leave physical scars that will go away"

Oh shit Katya thought. That's fucked. She didn't think such a beautiful girl could be experiencing so much pain. She needed to help her. So she wrote

"Hi. This is really creepy I know but I just want to say you are so gorgeous and your singing is angelic. You are right about your step dad. Don't let him cause you permanent damage ever. Stay beautiful. And I have no say in what you do to yourself but why would you hurt yourself? Why would you hurt someone so beautiful? Idk."

Katya thought for a moment before looking down at her wrist where a pandora charm bracelet sat with only one charm. She didn't think to long before taking it off and putting it in the journal and continued to write

"Wear this on your wrist along with the fading scars and bruises. So that you have something good that never fades. There is one charm on it. I got it on a trip to Russia with my dad. Keep it close. -anonymous"

Katya closed the journal with the bracelet inside and put the journal back where she found it. She was going to get another charm to give the mystery girl tomorrow after she left.
She headed to a mall and walked fast to the pandora store. Right away a charm caught her eye

 Right away a charm caught her eye

It was perfect. No where near as gorgeous as the girl but still perfect. She bought it and had it wrapped before heading home.
