Hi my name is Isabelle Riley I'm 18 and I'm gonna be honest with you life sucks when you're popular. I'm the ace player in my volleyball team. I'm always the top 1 student and all the boys give me chocolates for Valentine and give me lunch for free. I always get compliments whenever I passed through the hallways.
my friends would always say how pretty and smart I am that they became jealous. they said their LUCKY that I'm their friend and that they can rely on me. I should be happy right? NO!
Am I happy being a freeloader to these drooling boys that they'll give me food like I'm some homeless girl? NO!
Am I happy that my so-called friends think that their lucky that I'm their friend and that they'll rely on me when things go wrong?
The audacity is just too much...
I was never expecting this. ever. being the school's most popular girl and the smartest. I don't like all the attention, why? because there are many people that are jealous of me. is it my fault that I'm talented? I don't want everyone to keep an eye on my actions every single day. it makes me so anxious.
and you know people are so crazy. When you do something good, you get praised, but if you do something wrong, a lot of them will discriminate you. and here I am thinking the society isn't that bad. it's actually the worst.
I wonder what it feels like being free? you know, no one keeping their eye on you and you do your own thing.
at home, I'm this super energetic crazy girl but when I'm in school, I'm this miss obedient. I feel like crying whenever I go home because I have two split personalities. it makes me feel like I'm weird, in a really bad way.
I drown myself with studies and getting good grades. whenever my family and I go out for dinner, they won't even allow me to wear skirts or shorts, they're making me wear pants or jeans. I can't wear crop-tops or sleeveless shirts. it has to be long-sleeved or with a jacket.
when the hell will I get to wear what I want? these stupid standards.
School is starting to rot my brain because of all these works and rules. I have to obey them, or else my parents will get mad if I fail a test or even get lower grades.
they want high expectations from me every time. Will you give your daughter a break? I can't be perfect and I'll never be. I'm not enough to be someone worth it. I'm just a robot obeying being.
when I was in elementary I was a dumb kid back then. I had really low grades back then. not until my parents forced me to advance study for so many years. it felt so painful taking away your childhood and replacing it with a bunch of knowledge that you clearly do not need.
I'm glad I'm still energetic or hyper, or else my life would be meaningless. but I think it won't matter cause what's the point of me being this happy when I'm doing something that I can't even enjoy?
