Hi my name is Ali short for Alissa.Most people call me
Alissa when they want something but other than that it’s Ali.I am
fourteen a freshman in high school I have brown hair and blue eyes. My
mom and dad are divorced and I am an only child. I am on the bus on way
to school and I hear the snickering of other children in the
background,Probably laughing at something inappropriate. It’s now 7:15
the bell rang and I had my books in my hand some girls knocked them out
my hands I really don't know if it was an accident but whoever did it
now I'm embarrassed. That day early in the morning my teachers all met
me I was the new girl no one ever likes the new girls. So all my
teachers met me and then they began telling me how much their jobs meant
to them wait a minute I don't even care about their jobs not even a
little. So that day I met a few people I sat with them at lunch and then
they asked me if I wanted to skip class with them I looked at them like
they were little phycos which they probably were So I said no only
because I didn't wanna get into trouble on my first day I wouldn't wanna
skip a class for anything.Especially if they get detention I wouldn't
wanna be stuck with nothing to do in there my friends always told me it
was like a jail cell but I don't believe it.
Once I got home my mom
asked me what happened in school today of course like any other kid i
said nothing and went straight to my room I was upset about everything
even in school no friends if i had to make friends it would be the bad
kids that skip class I don't want friends like that I want good friends
like in middle school I'm not in middle school anymore nothing will make
me change not even one bit. My mood was sad just plain old sad the sad
that makes you feel crappy the one that brings your days down and kicks
you right in the butt later on in life.My life is somewhat miserable
just thinking about the fact that i moved all the way from California
to Florida which they call a sunshine state? Is it really sunshine or
is it just rain all the time? Anyways now I'm in math class and a
student was talking about me and how ugly I am I mean They shouldn't be
talking about me just look at them.I feel hated in this school maybe i
should just run away from everything and everyone I wish for my family
like my mom and dad to get along and I just miss everybody. English
class Hi I'm Alissa I said to the teacher and she introduced me to the
class I heard mumbling and all i heard was who is that chick why is she
in our school can i help you stop looking at me I was devastated didn't
know what to do and I felt sick to my stomach I was home sick wanting to
go home had no idea what to do should i text my mom and tell her to
bring me home So i did I was very upset so this is what i said to her
Mom can i please go home i don't wanna be in school she replied why
people are being so mean i don't like it here not even a little girls
cause too much drama and I HATE IT. I bursted into tears asking to use
the bathroom so i can get out of school made my day really hard why do
people have to be like this. On my way home I realized that my mom did
not want to pick me up and i told her what happened after that she was
like oh why aren't you like them other kids that punch people in their
face I told her what makes you think i should do that It will get me in
so much trouble nice advice MOM.
Once we got home mom told me to do my
homework the school called and said that I made fun of some girl that i
dont even know wait yes i do shes in my math class and she slapped the
books out my hands on the first day of school I knew who she was she
just didn't like me and that day i was grounded because of her because
of that little I couldn't finish the words that were about to come out
of my mouth I was furious I couldnt wait to find her name out..... Next
day of school it was tuesday thank you lord 3 more days till the weekend
I definitely couldn't wait.In school during math the same girl gave me
looks and laughed with her friend looking at me i knew they were talking
about me their little devil eyes beaming toward me gave me the heart
beating of a life time.I bit my tongue it tasted like metal.I was pissed
off and i wanted to rip her head off and throw it so she cant find it.I
asked my math partner what her name is and he said her name is Valarie
and my eyes opened and grew bigger and bigger as if i were a cat hunting
her prey down. Ali what is this equalled to said my math teacher um um
i don't know Valarie started to chuckle and she said this in exact
words: see she came from a different town she doesn't know nothing and
shes stupid I said this: If I'm so stupid then how come I have higher
grades then you the teacher sent us both to the principles office and we
both sat there gleaming at each other for at least five minutes.
Then I spoke Valarie why do you hate me so much? I said she replied :
Remember me the girl that you said no to skipping class with well that's
me and i kinda thought that you wouldn't wanna be my friend so i
started talking crap about you and im really sorry because i knew how
much it hurts you now I saw you cry and i was upset i don't like people
crying because of me. I told her that i didn't wanna skip because it was
my first day of class and then you seemed upset i cant skip because if i
do my mom will ground me and i don't want that to happen maybe me and
you can hang out sometime?Yeah we should said Valarie.Well I think we
really should. Principal walks in hey guys what are you guys doing down
here us um we got into an argument but we settled it and now were
friends right Ali yup were officially friends principal: good for you
guys now you guys can get back to class.OK so on our way to class we see
this bird type thingy fly near the window so we tried to touch it and
it got away i was laughing so hard a teacher came out and told us to be
quiet.Ever since that day Ali and Valarie were best friends.They hung
out and always looked out for each other No matter what they did
everything together except use the bathroom of course when Ali had a
sleepover Valarie was invited.What kind of friend do you have?????Who
will you meet?
