Like a Moth to a Flame (girlxgirl)

Chapter One : life goes on

Sarah's POV

 

"Mom! Dad! I’m heading to school right now! Bye! Love you!" I said shouting, as if I’m excited to go to school. You see my parents don’t know how much I hated to go to school. Everyday I dreaded to step on the ground where the school is located. Since we moved here in Oponville my life's getting worst and worst. We moved here since I was on fifth grade, my dad has been promoted to be the vice president of this very big company outside this exclusive village. Oponville is like Beverly Hills’ but smaller so most people here are highly rich and privileged. It is well secured facility and to be able to live here you must earned way lot more. So you see most of the people here are highly stuck up. I remembered how excited I was to meet new friends at the same time nervous coz you see I’m the type of person who is shy at first but when you get to know me I’ll be the most talkative person you'll ever get the chance of encountering. I’m definitely shy at first but I know that once you get to know me you are going to love me, but that was I thought. 

When we first got here my dad hosted a barbeque party, well it was some kind of ritual here to host such kind of event to get to know the neighbors and to be acquainted with them. So basically my dad didn’t have a choice but to host such an event. My mom was super excited; she really likes party and mingling with people. My mom is sweet, kind and gorgeous so she doesn’t have any problem at all that people would not like her, she has this charisma that people would love her instantly and want to be friends with her. I was so excited too, I even wore my favorite dress, it’s a simple knee length yellow dress that looks good on me. I always loved yellow that’s why ts my favorite dress of all. I really look like a cute doll; my eyes are nice shades of brown with thick curly eyelashes and well defined eyebrows. My pinkish lower lip so thick and full the complimented with my thin upper lip, I have a pretty perfect nose just like my mom and my brown wavy hair just two inch below my shoulders long. I don’t need any blush on because my face is naturally pinkish and glowing, so when I look at the mirror I’m fairly satisfy that I look cute and pretty. 

 

As I walked down outside our house every person was looking at me smiling and I smiled back shyly. They keep on telling my parents, which just right beside me how beautiful their daughter is. I excused myself to them and told my parents that I’ll be over the pool side where kids mostly my age were. As I head to that place, children were looking at me, and there’s this group of four girls roughly my age who I think was the most popular children in the area, they're located at the center just facing the big infinity pool that we have and they are all so pretty, I can see the brown hair pretty girl just nudged the girl that who is at the center and I can tell that she's the leader of the group. She slowly faces around where I was standing. I can’t move my legs, she was the most gorgeous girl I ever seen in my whole life. I have never seen such a beautiful girl. Her hair was straight shiny strawberry blonde, she got a perfect nose and her cute face with a high cheekbone and those luscious natural red lips that you want to kiss. What am I thinking I’m not gay or anything it’s just that she really has lips that you would want to kiss regardless if those lips were from boy or girl? Her deep set green eyes that look at me shining with awe but it changes instantly looking at me mad, that I’ve done something to her. so I instantly look down and thinking that if I had one wish, I would wish that I am not  here awkwardly standing right in front of this gorgeous girl. I was about to leave when I heard the red haired girl beside the gorgeous girl saying hi to me. I didn’t really hear her well.

"Hey! You’re Sarah right?” she said smiling a slightly waving at me. I smiled back at her.  “I’m Jeanne by the way and this is Monica” she said while pointing at the pretty brown hair girl. "That’s Maria" she continued, glancing at the black curly hair girl who is so gorgeous too. She’s kind of like Hispanic. "And this right here is Alicia" she said smiling and I face Alicia who just shrugged and blankly stared at me. I feel like she's not interested at all to get to know me.

"Nice to meet you all, I’m Sarah Mis--" I was about to introduce myself when out of nowhere a birds poop landed on my head. All of them look shocked except for Alicia who laughs out loud.

"Oh hi there Ms. birdie poop" Alicia blurted out and everyone started laughing. I just couldn’t say a word and my eyes are now burning with tears.

"Ohhh miss birdie poop's going to cry now. “ She said still laughing out loud. I don’t know what her problem is but I really hate her. Children now started laughing even kindergarten children started laughing at my hair.

Before I started running and went  inside the house I told Alicia on a very angry voice "I hate you!" then I ran but I heard Alicia shouting " Go clean yourself ms birdy poop!" that was when my life started to change. I hate anything to do with this town, the school and especially Alicia. My mom and dad never heard about that incident and I never told them how I hated it here because I can see it how they are so happy and like it here. 

 

"Hun? I thought your heading to school now? You’ve been out of your mind lately. Are you okay Sarah?" mum asked me with a worried look on her face

 "I’m okay mom don’t worry I was just thinking about my college application and I’m so excited that this will be my last year in high school."  Of course I’m so excited because I will be far away from Alicia as possible. My days in Oponville are over and I going be free from Alicia!

"Oh my baby is getting bigger, but don’t think too much hon. you’re still young, enjoy it till it last. High school is the best year and I don’t want you worrying about life. Okay hon." my mum really has no clue at all how my life here is miserable. oh well I’m going to be the happiest person alive on the day of my graduation but for now I’ll just endure the days I’ll be spending my time here.

"Yep mum, I’m going to be late, so bye now." kissing my mum’s cheek.

"Oh yeah by the way the Sinclair’s will be here tonight for dinner, so don’t be late okay? And don’t worry Alicia will be here too so you will not be bored talking to us oldies."

"Great, just great!" I said sarcastically

"Did you say anything hon?"

 

"That will be awesome mum, I like the Sinclair’s but I really need to go!" I said plastering my fake smile. Did I ever mention to you that the company my dad was working for are owned by the Sinclair’s? And that my dad and his dad are best friends? Yeah my life is getting better and better every day, I thank god that I came out alive in whole piece.
