*7 grade dance*
"mattia would you like to dance with me"I ask
"Um are you talking to me"mattia replies
I nodd my head and smile at him
"No your ugly as hell and I'd rather lick the floor than dance with you sorry" he said with a smirk
Tears start falling down my face and all his friends are now laughing at me. I ran out of the room and cried for the rest of the night until my parents picked me up.
I hate mattia I wish i never see him or his friends again!

Now here's the backstory:
I liked mattia throughout middle school but when he finally rejected me all my love for him turned into hate. I moved schools because of him and hated everything about myself.
I mean looking back at it i was hideous and emo but so was he so whatever I guess.
I mean  it made me stronger and made me realise boys ain't shit.

I'm now 16, me and my family moved to California because of my mom and her new job. My parents have a very werid relationship ,I left New Jersey half way through freshman year, the change was difficult but California is beautiful so I'm glad.
Unfortunately my parents are getting a divorce , me and my two brothers are going to live with my dad back in New Jersey. My mother don't want any custody of us as she prefers her new family over her real one 🥰. Yes she cheated.

I may also add that I'm not emo anymore and in my opinion I had a very good glowup. I look  so different to how I looked 2 years ago. I'm literally unrecognisable but still insecure :(

My older brothers name is Jayden and my other brothers name is jake.
Oh and my name is vanessa

"Bruh get up we're here lazy ass" Jayden says while pinching my arm.
I wake up slowly and start grabbing my things out the car. It was 4am in New Jersey now so it was quite dark and empty. It was extremely peaceful aswell. After I grab all my things and put them in my room( which had the ugliest view of my neighbours window hope they ain't a creep) I throw myself onto my bed and fall right asleep.

My bed was already built because my uncle helped set everything up before we got here.
After a whole 5 days of us unpacking and making the house look good we were finally done.
My room was quite basic to be honest but it was definitely better than my dads and brothers.
I start school after tomorrow and I'm actually not too bothered about it. I'm nervous of course but I've been to Passaic valley before so it shouldn't be too different.
Sunday:
I wake up at 9am by our doorbell ringing I climb out my bed and go downstairs to see who the hell is at our door. I open the door to this beautiful lady with brown hair and blonde strands   Next to her stood a boy who wasn't the tallest but wasn't short either. He had black messy curls and very dark eyes.
"I'm sorry did I wake you" the women spoke
I'm half awake so I'm rubbing my eyes looking like a disgrace infront of this really hot boy
Jake pushes me from the door and continues to have a conversation with her, before I knew it her and her son were sat on our couch talking to my dad. I grab something to eat and go back to my room to get ready for the day.

I walk downstairs dressed up and ready and still see the women and her son sitting speaking.
"Well this is my daughter vanessa who looks presentable now , vanessa this is adriana and her son alejandro they are our new neighbours"
My dad says while he signals me with his eyes to shake their hands.
"Nice to meet you both" I say while shaking both their hands
"You start school tomorrow right at Passaic valley?" She questions
"Yeah" I say back
"Well my son here goes there too and if you would like a ride to school tomorrow he can give you one "
"There's no need I'll take the bus thank you though" I say while letting out a smile
"Oh no please I insist he could show you around too"
I got quite shy and just nodded my head in agreement because I couldn't say no for some reason. My brothers car doesn't come until next week so atleast I don't have to take the bus on my first day back.
