Martina's POV
I groaned as I heard my alarm ring. I got out of bed and I was so upset that my long perfect and exciting holiday had ended. Most people had spent their holiday at parties, malls and other 'fun' places but I heard spent most of mine with my head buried in a book.(aaah my heaven😊). Books were literally where I was happiest. If I wanted to feel and emotion, I'd just dive into my wonderland. Rushing into the bathroom, I stared at myself in the mirror and particularly at the chunk of fat I had grown on my belly. I wasn't a fat person, actually I was considered way too skinny. I had literally tried to gain weight. Eat food full of carbs,eat loads of carbohydrates but nothing changed apart from my belly size. I poked at it and entered the shower hoping that my junior year would be lot better than my past years at high school.
Minutes later
I went to my closet and chose a grey hoodie, a white tank top, black leggings and my fav pair of white sneakers for the day. I went to the mirror put on my clothes an put my hair in a ponytail. I went downstairs and found my mum preparing breakfast. I hugged her from behind and greeted her. She smiled back and asked how my night was. I said it was fine but that I wasn't looking forward to going back to school.
She nodded in understanding. I looked at my mum and I could tell that she was really stressed. Since my dad and mum got divorced when I was 3,I don't think I had seen my mum's eyes glow. I had seen many pictures of her when she was younger and she was gorgeous. I had gotten my deep brown eyes from her and I wondered why I couldn't have also gotten her shape. I ate up my breakfast and said bye to my mum. I went outside to find my bestie's car waiting for me. I ran to the car cause it had been ages since I saw Bianca. She had gone on a vacation with her family to the Bahamas. My best friend was literally the total opposite of me. She was a proper 5'7, she had gorgeous brown eyes, she was well shaped,had curves in all the right places and was just an interesting person to be with. I on the other hand 5'1, brown eyes, literally a walking stick and seriously didn't like people.I was so happy to see her and she was now looking so happy and she was glowing. I entered her car and threw my arms around her. She did the same and I felt like crying realising how much I had missed my best friend and so much that I needed to said,'now enough of the tear fest, let's go or we'll be late,'. She started the car and we headed of to school aka hell.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Walking into the hallways that held so many memories of my friendship and life. I hadn't realise how much I had missed this hellhole. I walked to my locker and there I found the person I had been avoiding the entire holiday, Seth.
I literally froze in my path. I had done a good job in avoiding any communication with him since our terrible 3-day relationship.
He saw me and started walking in my direction. I dashed in the opposite direction.Don't get me wrong, Seth and I were really close before this fiasco. I broke up with him cause things were already going downhill on the first day of our relationship. It's like our relationship had distanced us and it hurt me so I ended it. A few days later, I realised I had ended things because the relationship wasn't how I had pictured it and I wanted to get him back. I apologized and I was about to ask for him back but he told me that he wouldn't date again until university and I respected his decision. So I also promised the same, but not even a month later he has a new gf. I knew it was somehow my fault but he had just broken his promise and I was really hurt. I hadn't even told Bianca about this but I was planning to.
I finally reached my first class: biology. I saw bianca and rushed to sit with her. Class started and I felt relaxed for sometime.
********************************
It was soon lunch time and I was heading with bianca to the cafeteria when I saw Seth. He came towards us and this time I couldn't run cause I'd have to explain. He said hi to us and I just nodded my head. Bianca looked at the both of us and she had her* u need to explain this later* look. I gulped and then we went to out usual spot it was perfect. Far away from the trash can and not close to the popular table. Out of no where, someone stole my fry and I looked up to see the most annoying person I knew! Aaron Manchester. I tried to get it back but his damn height! I gave and he burst into laughter. I sat down and he kissed my forehead and I couldn't help but blush. He sat right next to me and said to Bianca,'hey sis,wassup'. In some weird voice and I burst out laughing. I stopped laughing cause I noticed Aaron staring at me intently. I felt heat rising toe cheeks and I just focused on my food. I looked at Seth and he looked furious. I wondered why. Aaron looked at me one last time and left. I couldn't help but notice the butterflies in my belly and I had to ignore them cause it would be so wrong to have a crush on my bestie's bro.*****************•******•
Finally! The first day was over and I was still alive. I walked with bianca to her car and immediately I entered the car she went all CIA on me. The only thing missing was a light. She asked what was up with me and Seth and I told her the whole story. She held my hand and I felt tears well up in my eyes. We reached my house and we went to my room since my mum wasn't back.I went on rambling about how it was my fault but bianca hugged me to make me shut up and I burst into tears. She consoled me and we ended up watching chic-flicks the whole night.
~•~•~•~•
Waking up Bianca is the hardest thing to do. I literally screamed in her ear but she just rolled in the opposite direction. I just decided to pour on her ice cold water. I put water in my mini bucket and poured it all over. She jumped out of bed saying,' what the heck!' I burst into laughter at her state. I hadn't realised that she had even left the room. I looked for her outside and found her in my bro's room looking out the window. I was going to apologize when she threw a bucket of water on me and ran away saying,' that will teach you not to wake me up when am dreaming of Channing Tatum,'. I just pouted and entered my bro's bathroom and took a shower in the warm water./•\•/•\
I found bianca dressed in a purple maxi dress my mum had bought for me but do to our height difference it was just below her knees. She had also borrowed my purple pumps and she looked amazing. I just got a purple long shirt and my black baggy leggings and put that on.
When I was done, I looked at Bianca and she was pouting at my outfit. She had been telling me yo dress up better for school since freshman year and I had always refused. I looked at her and just put on my fakest smile and she just shook her head and left. I put on my black boots and left.
I had a wardrobe full of designer clothes and clothes that would emphasise a girl's figure but since I wasn't very comfy with mine I never wore any of them.
I went downstairs and saw that bianca had almost finished the whole plate of pancakes. There were only five left and I knew mum prepared at least 14. I rushed down the stairs like my life depended on it and grabbed the plate. Bianca pouted and I just laughed. We had bonded mainly because of our love for food.
*flashback
I was at KFC with my bucket of chicken minding my own business when a really gorgeous tall girl stopped at my table. I was preparing for her to insult me like most girls had but instead she said,' mind if I join'. I was literally shocked but I just nodded.And from that day, we have been inseparable despite the fact we were so different. We were both introverts but she was a better dressed and sweeter introvert.
We drove to school and we walked side by side as always but this time boys were gawking at something and am pretty sure it wasn't me. Bianca and I moved out of the way and I suddenly understood why the boys were gawking. There was a gorgeous well tanned girl who has about my height but damn! She had Kim k figure. She walked in the hallways with so Mich grace oblivious to the world around her. I looked at Bianca and both of us said wow! We got out of our daze and parted ways. I was at my locker getting my things when I heard a sweet voice asking for help. I looked at the person and realised it was the new girl. She asked me to show her around and I agreed.
She forwarded her hand to me and said,' I'm Clarissa Stone,I hope we can be friends,'. I shook it and we went to class together. As soon as we entered class, everyone's eyes were on C.(new nickname). I could tell she was uncomfortable so I whispered to her that it would eventually stop. She sent me a small smile and followed me to my seat. Thank goodness the seat next to me was free.
