I woke up, yawning. I stretched my arms and got off my bed. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was different. A whole different person. I sighed and brushed away the horrible memories. I walked in the bathroom and did my daily routine. It took me an hour to finally to leave the bathroom.. again. "Sweetie! Breakfast!" shouted my mom. I rolled my eyes and went downstairs. "Mom, I'm on a diet. Eating one of those greasy bacon will make me look a hippo. Ugh, use your head for once!" I yelled, pushing away the plate. My mom looked hurt for a moment, and looked like she was going to murder someone. I wanted to get back to her for the times she ignored me. "Remember who carried all the home when Jake left you?" she asked, with a smug smile. "WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST LEFT ME THERE??? YOU HATE ME DIDN'T YOU??? JUST LET ME ROT TO DEATH!!" I shrieked, slamming the table. She was getting on my nerves. How dare she mentioned that stupid name in the house. She was about say something, but I shut the door in her face. I walked to school in a bad mood. "Hey! Wait up!" yelled a voice. I turned around, and my mood lightened up. "Susie! What sup girlfriend? Ooh, nice manicure! Green, my favorite color!" she said, hugging me.
"Hey, Anna, ready for our junior year?" I said. "No duh! I bet Nick is," she said, teasily. I blushed slightly, and pushed her. "Shut up," I said, looking down to my feet. "Whatever you say," she said, skipping away. I sighed and ran after her. She already entered the school doors and disappeared in the mob of high school students. I went to my locker when somebody bumped into me. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" I said, pushing him. He turned around... and he looked so familiar somehow. "Sorry," he said, and he disappeared in the crowd. I wanted to ask him somthing, but it was too late. The bell rang and I had to go before I get a tardy. I walked in my classroom, bumping in Nick. "Oops! I'm so sorry Nick!" I said, blushing. "It's all good, wow, you put on a lot of makeup," he said, looking at me closer. "It's like you're blushing, kinda." I blushed furiously and said, "Yeah, my makeup is really rosy, that's all," I went to find a seat, but Nick held me back, said, "Wait," I turned around, looking anywhere except for his face. "Yeah?" staring at my shoes. "I have something to tell you, but I'm not sure if I should tell you." he said, looking around nervously. Was he thinking what I was thinking? "I-
"OK, time for class! Take your seats students!" shouted the teacher. I turned around, mad with fury. The guy I like was trying tell me something and this lady was making more complicated. "Could you spare a minute???" I yelled, waving my hands. "He has something important to say to me!!!" The teacher looked shocked, but she allowed a few minutes for us to talk. "And you were saying?" I asked, excited what was he about to say. He paused for a moment, and said, "I like you, and I want you to be mine,"
