I suppose you can call me the "odd one" in high school. I never got along with others, although in my younger years I tried my hardest to even be glanced at by a cheerleader, or a football player if it was a good day. Eventually the feeling of unimportance began to overwhelm me and I began to be jaded from all aspects of high-school, except theater. Considering theater is mostly people like, or close to me.
I began to use my catch-phrase with my parents and teachers,"Im not anti-social, Im just allergic to people." Then like all the others, I faded away from their memory like an eraser mark on black paper.
Since I am "not of the norm" Im subject to ridicule and gossip. This all started on that fateful day, I was sitting in the courtyard with my journal and pen in hand. I write in it religiously, every possible spare moment. When Chris Peters came along and made my day absolutly "peachy." Chris is the object of affection for all female heterosexuals in Clemens high school. I knew he wouldnt pay me any mind so I kept on scribbling in my journal. I must have been way out in the atmosphere because the next thing I notice is my journal being yanked out of my hands and the annoying laugh of chris. When reality had finally set in, I had realized the lowly bastard had read my journal to whomever would listen! I jumped up and tried to get it back but he kept on reading. "You're a witch?! hahaha Phobe Andrew's in a devil worshiper!!! Hey guys look at this!" Chris yelled with obvious amusment. I then proceeded to give him the worst look I could and said, "Give me back my journal or I will hurt you!" The boy wasnt too smart because he just read some more outloud. So... I punched him, took my journal and ran to the Library. I must have caused quite a stir because the Administration, i.e. the principals, had called me to the office for "assult." After an hour of debating Chris and his disrespect for my privacy I was sentenced to 3 dentions... in the library. Since I spend all of my time there anyway this wasnt but so bad... Or so I thought.... Like it so far? go on to Chapter 2 |
