Chapter 1: A new beginning

Today was the day. The day I got to make a new me. A new school, new friends, a new life. I was going into the 9th grade. I was worried about everyone not liking me, scared i would never make new friends. I would just come home and cry all night then get up and go back to hell.
The day had finally come I woke up at 5:30, took a shower, and got dressed. I had normal close on a sweatshirt, jeans, and boots. My mom took me and dropped me off. I learned something in the beginning... Dont let fear take over your life.
I walked into my first class and looked around. Everyone had their eyes on me. I stood there and said my name and where i was from. Everyone smiled and greeted me. I sat down with Julie she was my first friend. We talked through out the whole class and all day. At lunch i sat with her and we became best friends. I looked across a couple tables and i seen you. I didnt know your name or who you were or anything but i seen you. I asked Julie who is that girl? She said thats Mary. I smiled and said I might go talk to her. Julie and I stood up and walked over and sat down and introduced ourselves. All of a sudden I got a strong feeling I didnt know what it was but I could feel my heart beating out of my chest and I couldnt understand. This was the first time i have ever felt this. All my life i had been the one who didnt want to be around anyone, because i wasnt good enough. I didnt want to love anyone because it always faded or they didnt care. Mary was different, she smiled at me and i smiled back like we were two little kids. By the time we were done it was time to go home. We gave each other our info and went our different ways.
