From New Girl To It
Girl
The light was just barely peeking into my
window when i finally swung a leg out from beneath the warm, cozy
covers and into the nipping cold, chills surging my covered body
like electricity. I shivered and pulled the rest of my body out
of bed, and quickly ran over to the switch, flicking off the fan
before throwing on a sweatshirt.
I imagined myself wearing this sweatshirt and jeans, tying my
hair up, and sitting quietly in class, being invisible, but i
shook my head. I wasn't going to be a nobody. Not this year.
I couldn't do that again. For the last 3 years i had been a
nobody. The quiet girl who rarely had the nerve to speak up. This
year, i would be confident.
I walked into the bathroom, making sure to stand straight up and
smile brightly at the tired face in the mirror before turning on
the hot water and washing the sleep from my face, then brushing
the sleep from my teeth. I untangled my hair and fixed the
rumpled, crooked pieces, then i applied a minimal amount of
makeup, trying to look natural, but highlight my best features,
namely my blue-green eyes. I smiled again, ready to go? Almost.
Now if i could only find something to
wear...
From New Girl to It

The
hallways were lined with people, each of them smiling, nodding
with the occasional 'hey' or 'whats up'. A tall
blonde with electric blue eyes walked up beside me and kissed my
cheek gently before taking my hand. Girls all around were
squealing with excitement over my hair, shoes, makeup, and i felt
like the entire world was in the palm of my hands. Even the
teachers nodded in approval.
As i continued towards a classroom, clapping broke out and i
smiled with delight, but suddenly a loud ringing split the
hallways and everyone was gone. Just me, standing alone in the
hallways of an empty school. Nobody looked my way, nobody was
even around to pretend to care. I was all alone left to figure
out what that horrid sound was.
Of course, i knew what it was, in my subconcious mind, but in my
dreaming fantasy, i pretended it wasn't the loud screech of
my bedside alarm clock. I rolled over and glared at the clock as
though to make it move back a few hours.
No, it was still 6 am. Nothing would change here. Time to pull
myself out of bed, straighten my already pre-straightened hair,
and put on makeup and clothes i really didn't want to wear.
I'd been dreading this day for weeks, and finally...h*ll was
about to break loose. Assuming i could even drive myself to
school without passing out.
