Define Normal
(from Liv's pov)
Living life in 8th grade is soooo not easy! I mean
when you think about it, you have to worry about every little piece
of yourself, every little thing that makes someone else HATE you.
But...thinking of it now, there is one person in my grade, who just
walks into school everyday with a smile on her face, and
doesn't care what people think. Her name is Casey...she has
brownish, blondish hair (more blonde than brown), and she's
kinda tall, skinny, and now that i think about it, she's
beautiful. But like no guys actually have a crush on her....
She doesn't have the biggest boobs or the biggest
butt, she's just like normal, what a person should be. She
barely wears any make-up, she's wicked nice, funny, and im just
so mind blown that i couldn't figure this out before. Looking
at the other girls in my grade who CAKE on the make-up, who wear
push-up bras, and who fry their hair every day, with that
straightner, its insane. Even tho, i do have to admit to myself, i
do that sometimes too.
But there was something about this Casey girl, i
didn't get it, she's so normal and perfect yet NO guy likes
her.

I walk up to my best guy friend, Luke,
"hey luke, can i ask you something?"
luke turned around, "yep, whatcha need livvy"
i giggled a little, "haha, uhm have you ever talked to
Casey?"
Luke glanced over at Casey, "eh maybe once and a while, but
not often. why?"
i looked over at her too, "cuz i think she is wicked
pretty...do you?"
luke looked at me and laughed, "no, not really, but im sure
you could date her! haha"
"no luke, i didnt mean it in tha--" he walked away with
his buddies laughing before i could finish.
****
I decided that i had to talk to Casey, find out for myself, what
makes her so normal and perfect.
****
So after school, i walked up to her...my palms were kinda sweaty
considering i have never talked to this girl in my life, and i
might be made fun of for talking to her...but whatever, i'll
just go.
"hey, hey casey! wait up!"
she turned around, kinda confused, "hii?"
"sorry i know that we've never talked but, like wow this
is gonna sound stupid, can ijust ask you some things?"
casey looked dumbfounded, and slighty afraid, but she matured
herself and said, "sure, absolutely"
i smiled, "okay so uhm how am i gonna say this....why or no no
no what? no....." my words stumbled in my brain, and i just
had to come out and say it, "how are you so normal and
perfect?"
time stopped...
she looked at me, so confused, just wondering what i just asked and
she replied, "what are you talking about?"
my face turned red, "you're so nice, and pretty, and nice,
and pretty and normal and perfect, and you dont care what anyone
thinks, and you dont care tht no guys have a crush on you, and you
just like idk you're just you." the words came out before
i could think, but that's exactly what i was trying to ask.
she looked at me and smiled,
"im not perfect. i just know that everyday is a day closer to
the end of my life, and i dont want to waste a moment, a second, on
wearing make-up or pushing my boobs up, i just want to love my
life, without the stress."
i looked at her....lost. Wondering why you wouldn't even care
what others think, knowing people could hate you just cuz you look
that way.
"but but how are you so normal."
she looked at me and laughed again.
"im not normal at all. haha infact im miles far from normal,
whatever normal is."
i smiled then became confused again, "huh?"
she looked up at the sun, "normal is a weird word. What is it.
Define normal."
my mouth opened but no words came out.
she giggled, "tell me what normal means tomorrow, and maybe
i'll have an answer for you."
she walked away.
i looked at the pavement and whispered to myself.
"define normal."
