I think I'll keep working on this. It released a lot of pent-up thoughts.
I'm that girl that was new in your school.
I was only there for a year or two...
or maybe a couple months.
The one everyone thought was a military brat.
Ever watch the Magic School Bus? Loved that cartoon!
And there was the girl with the skirt and high socks and everthing out of her mouth was "We never did that at my old school."
I think her name was Mary Ellen?
I think that's me.
I am the one people thought was a freshman when I was a sophomore, junior and senior.
The one that had to work harder at making friends because clicks were already formed.
The one that found someone to sit with at lunch by 1st period because if she didnt try she would be sitting alone the first day at her new school.
That girl that seemed snobby just because she didn't know what to say all the time or know how to act.
I am the girl that didnt take honors or AP classes, never took physics and took chemistry twice.
Not because I'm dumb but that's how the curriculum went from one school to the next.
I actually got an A in my first chem class but never went to the second and wound up with a C.
I am the girl that was told she didnt have to take world history but by her fourth school, they made her take it with sophomores as a senior.
I am the girl that didnt go to class because she was always sick. With some new or long-dead illness.
Like having Scarlette Fever 3 times. When you're only supposed to get it once and not many people have had it since the turn of the 20th Century.
I am the girl that had 2 sinus surgeries, open heart, tubes in her ears, tonsils and adnoids taken out all before she was 13. Most before 6.
I am the girl that had her high school dreams crushed because she didnt stay in one spot long enough to accomplish them.
I am that one friend you always say you're going to visit and never do. Because I'm too far away.
I am that girl that wanted to do better and let life get the best of her for 3 straight years.
So I went to community college before going to a university.
I am that girl that hates holidays and anything family-related because it reminds her that her family is torn.
I am that girl that loves holidays and family-related activities because she dreams of a perfect Christmas with her mom, dad, and brother.
I am that girl that cries after Thanksgiving and Easter because she's stuck with her stepmom's family that keep introducing her as her stepmom's daughter to second, third and fourth cousins.
I am that girl that lost her best friend and sister from misconceptions.
I am that girl that lost so many good friends because working at a long-distance friendship is too hard for some people.
Or they really just dont care.
I am the black sheep of her mother's side of the family because I'm getting my bachelor's degree.
I am that girl that other girls love to hate because of my body-type.
I am that girl that wants to succeed.
I am that girl that works hard at school and work.
I am that girl that doesn't play enough.
I am uptight and stubborn.
Obnoxious and caring.
Empathetic to a fault.
I am my worst critic.
I am soooo emo right now.
