Chapter 1
I walked into the choir room. It was halfway through the school year, near the end of January of my 8th grade year. Our Christmas concert was great, I got the duet with a girl named Anna. But now it was time for Glee Club. My teacher Mr. Walker started this club during our half hour break period. This was the first day of it & I didn't quite know who all would show up. I wasn't much of a shy girl, but I wasn't exactly confident. My mom made me keep my hair short for a long time, and I had a pixie haircut now. It's an auburn-brown shade. I wasn't aloud to wear make-up, so my brown eyes and freckles were very plain on my pale face. I was quite skinny, not fully "developed" if you catch my drift. So I got made fun of a lot, mainly I got called a dike or a man. I took it all though without flinching. I was used to this kind of abuse, I got it all the time at home. Dressed in a green graphic tee with "Lips" written in thousands of different fonts & lipstick marks all over it with a pair of turquoise skinny jeans, I sat down in the nearest seat next to my friend Teresa. Thankfully the room was actually half full of students. We started learning songs & as I was reading some lyrics I looked up to see two boys getting help from Mr. Walter. They were the only two boys in the whole class. One was Malachi and then other was Bruno. Malachi with his bleach blonde flippy hair and blue eyes and Bruno with his shoulder length brown hair & deep brown eyes were practicing for the solo in "Don't Stop Believing". Instantly I turned to Teresa & whispered to her, "Bruno is really cute." She smiled at me and said, "Marissa, I am going to get you two together!". I refused & told her I wasn't interested in a boyfriend at the moment. She brushed it off & went back to her lyrics. Finally we switched to a new song that all of us knew, "I'm Yours". The girls sang the main part with the guys, and when the doo bop part came, both boys were supposed to sing it. Only Bruno did, this time sitting in a seat behind me and to the right. Everyone turned their heads to look at him. He instantly turned beet red, embarrassed from all the attention. Once everyone went back to the song, I turned around and said to him, "That was really good!" He denied it and we talked a little. After Glee Club was over, it was lunch time. I asked Bruno if he wanted to eat lunch with me & he said sure. We hung out at lunch for a little bit getting to know each other when his girlfriend came up to us. I got embarrassed and nervous, so I left with another friend. The school day went on & I saw Bruno and his girlfriend Brenna once holding hands in the hallway. I didn't know why, but seeing him with her made me a little disappointed. I didn't really want a boyfriend, but I really liked him. I was lost in emotions.
