            This is a short story about a regular girl in high school that is discovering herself and trying to survive high school.

Hi! I’m Claudia, 16yo. I lived with my parents, one older brother; Alessio and one sister; Beth. I was an athlete in grade schoo;  great one, I’m also good at singing and drawing, I won several times at singing contest. I have my best-friend; Stacy, she always support me and my family loves me. “What possibly can go wrong?”. That’s what i thought first, until i entered my teenage life in highschool. Life turn to be a HUGE roller-coaster, [Shows roller coaster]  sometimes i’m the highest peak of my life, sometimes i’m at the lowest point and sometimes my life just wondering around going nowhere. Here’s my story about my teenage life:

[First Day of Back to School ]

Stacy: “Hey clau, how’s your summer holiday?” *opening her locker

Clau: “It went great actually, we went to my dad’s lodge in Tofino, British Columbia. How’s yours? I heard that you went to Bonnaroo music festival. I’m so jealous!”

Stacy: “Mine went pretty cool, we went skiing in colorado. You know how much my family loves snow, right? But sadly i had to cancel the music festival”

Clau: “I know i know..”

            [Suddenly bell rings]

Stacy: “Oh great! First day of school is officaly started. C’mon girl”

Clau: “Ugh..yeah, wait a minute” *running to chase Stacy*

            I studied at Eleanor Roosevelt High School. It’s a small public highschool in Manhattan, New York.  It’s pretty near from my house. My older brother; Alessio and I went to the same school. He’s in his senior year while I was a freshman.

            But, there’s something bothering me or probably scaring me about this school. It’s how the sociality divided into 4. The jock, the brainiac, the mean-girl and yeah..the forgotten one. I really want to get into the Mean-Girls’ circle to be honest, i mean just look at that dress and shoes. Everyman admire always them. Just imagine how it feels to be admired by lots of people.

Stacy: “EHEM! Wake up you daydreamer” *knocking my table*

Clau: “Wait, what?” *wipped drolls*

Stacy: “Ew! You’re drolling. The class already over, girl. Here’s the note, i bet you didn’t take a note. We had a quiz tomorrow, so get ready” *handed over a notebook*

Clau: “Don’t worry stacy, i can handle it. Let’s grab some lunch” *cleans up*

Stacy: “After you”

[At cafetaria]

Clau: “Hey stacy, i was thinking about the Homecoming party next week. Who would take as a date?” *while grabing a bread*

Stacy: “I already had a date. Josh called me and asked me. He’s cute, so why not. You?”

Clau: “I don’t know, i don’t even want to go..”

Stacy: “Really? You HAVE to! How could you leave your bestie alone...” *frown*

Clau: “But you have a DATE and I’m not”

Stacy: “You could ask your.....hot brother?”

Clau: “EW no! Gosh. I’m about to vomit! NO!”

Stacy: “Just kidding, weirdo. But i admit that your brother is hot. Hey hey, how about Tyler?”

Clau: “He already asked Jenna. So no...Oh please don’t put me into your matchmaking thingy”

[A Boy Approaching Them]

Andrew: “Hi, what are you guys up to?” *wave*

Clau: “Hi, nothing” *waves back*

Stacy: “Good timing! Andrew have you take someone to homecoming party?”

Clau: “Stacy!!!”

Andrew: *laugh* “No. Why? Let me guess, clau didn’t have a date. Right? How about me? You can go with me”

Clau: “I don’t think so drew, your fans could kill me”

This boy is Andrew, he’s a football player. He lived near my house. He’s pretty popular and got a fanclub; a hardcore fanclub.

Andrew: “Nah, you think too much. We’re good”

Clau: “But i already feel their killer-instinc. Ok, hear me guys. I don’t want to go to the homecoming...I’m just gonna embarrass myself” *sigh*

Stacy: “Oh clau....” *facepalm*

Andrew: “Aw clau. Oh shoot! I gotta go, i have a practice today. See ya around” *run*

Stacy & Clau: “Bye!”

Stacy: “Have you lost your mind Claudia William Monteiro!? He’s Andrew, one of the most popular and influenced person in this school. YET, he’s your neighbors!”

Clau: “C’mon Stacy. I could find another person, believe me. It’s not like he’s the only boy in this world”

Stacy: “Don’t give me that puppy look, whatever clau. As long as you’re coming”

Clau: “I’ll be there”
