Once Upon A Mistake
Chapter One: Part One: Sophie's Diary
September 9th, 2009
Dear Diary,
Hi, I'm Sophie! I'm 16 years old and I go to Freedman High. I'm single, heartbroken, and I love love love to dance. So now, I will fill your pages with my life story. Sound good? Okay, lets start. Well, life is, you know, life. School was great. Wish you would’ve been there, so many new people. Why did they move? I always wonder that…
Well, yeah. So there’s this new girl, Rachel? Raven? Something like that. She rode my bus, I think she moved in across the street. She was so pretty, but she wasn’t good enough for Cassie, obviously. Cassie dissed her in front of the whole lunch room, everyone laughed. 11th graders, obviously, ‘cause that’s what we are, but all the 9th graders laughed too! I felt so bad for the poor gal, ha-ha. That’s what Daniel called me, a gal. He’s so adorable, just the way he looks at me with his big, blue eyes. Makes me feel really special, ya know? Off topic. Point is, Cassie was brutal to this girl, and she just, walked away. Conceited much?
Being best friends with the most popular girl in the school has its advantages. Like, we’re always getting the hottest guys, the coolest clothes, having awesome parties, but the whole “no pity for anyone”? That part, it’s one of the worst drawbacks. It feels like running someone over and it sometimes hurts. But I guess I’ll live with it. Don’t have much of a choice, do I? Without Cassie, I have nothing.
Thomas claims to love 9th grade, and Dad left, again. He just took off. I hope for my mother’s sanity he never sets foot in her life again. Any of our lives, really. I cried. No sleep, but hey, what’s gotta happen, happens.
I kinda didn’t eat lunch. I ‘forgot’ to. Is that bad? It’s not like I need to lose weight, I just had other things on my mind. Like Thomas and Mom and Dad. I’m really trying to stay optimistic, but it’s harder than you think under these circumstances. So, I’ll keep trying. Let you know what happens tomorrow. (I’m not anorexic or anything, I swear. I just don’t like to eat I guess.)
Love,
Sophie
