Three Wishes

The day before high school is suppose to be a weird feeling, because you don't know how your teachers will be, who you'll sit with at lunch time, if the children will bully you and what you should do if they do and lastly you wonder constantly whether you'll fit in or not, well for me that's not how I felt

I knew that I'd have friends to sit with at lunch time, I knew my teachers would all love me since I was so bright and intelligent, I knew the kids wouldn't bully me, because I never ever drew attention to myself and as for fitting in, it didn't quite matter to me, because I'd only be with my best friends Grace and Joshua every day since we were attending the same high school.

I of course knew that high school is that time in everyone's life when they skipped class, went to crazy parties where kids danced and drank alcohol all night, where everyone got put into different categories so you got the "Popular Kids", "The Gothic Kids", "The Jocks" and the list goes on and on and I knew exactly which category I'd be in

"The Nerds"

which quite frankly didn't bother me at all, because I have been a proud nerd all my life

Lastly it's when everyone got a boyfriend or girlfriend and also it's when they lost their virginity, unless you were like holy and religious then you'd of course wait for

marriage

so am I correct so far?

to be honest I didn't want to jump on this tragic rollercoaster ride known as Riverwest High and of all the things I've mentioned above none of it I wanted actually, except one thing

I wanted

a boyfriend

that was truly my one wish

preferably I want my first boyfriend to be Joshua who is of course my best friend

Here's a little secret since you were going to find out soon anyways, so ever since 4th grade I've had a crush on him which is absolutely crazy I haven't acted on my feelings yet but I'm going to and it's going to happen in our first year of high school when I kiss him and he miraculously falls deeply in love with me

which probably sounds crazy, because basically everyone has their first kiss in like their 6th or 7th year and also their first boyfriend or girlfriend, well unlike everyone else I wasn't that lucky, but one thing I know that when I do have my first boyfriend I won't let what happened to my parents happen to me, where someone gets their heart broken

where someone leaves in the end

like my dad who left my mom when I was only seven years old

I don't know where he is now, I was too small to remember, what exactly happened and honestly I don't care, because for these past seven years it's only been my one brother Marcus, my mom and I and to me that's perfectly fine

Marcus and I are very close and share everything with each other he's already in his second year of high school so that's one of the reasons I know so much about high school and what to expect although Marcus and I are not alike at all since he's outgoing and popularish, but he's still probably like my third friend which sounds kind of sad, but I guess I'm just not the social type.

Tomorrow is my first day at Riverwest High, in a way it's kind of like me starting all over, except nothing of me will have changed

I'll still be the same nerdy girl, that I always was

or at least

that's what I thought.
