My name is Hailey Day.
Today is my first day of sophomore year in a new state. My family and I moved to Bonnieville, KY a week ago because of a last minute "business opportunity" as my dad puts it. we used to live in glamorous LA, population 3.9 million, now we live in Loserville, population 247. Let me tell you, all 247 of them were in our yard, hoping to catch a glimpse of the aliens from the big city. You are probably wondering why I'm writing to you. Back in LA, I was the popular girl. I was even more popular than the seniors and it was my freshman year. I wasn't one of those mean girls with the snooty sidekicks and the quarterback boyfriend, I was just the nice, pretty, smart girl that could help you study or listen to you cry over a break up. Sure it helped that my uncle was Charlie Day. Anyway, moving was really hard for me, and I didn't want to lose the great life I had. I had also been scouted by a model agency. I was so reluctant that my parents had to ask Charlie if I could live with him. His movie idea had been declined and he had a lot of stress, so he declined, leaving me to have to drop everything and leave. It took a huge emotional toll on me and my parents decided that I should see a shrink. She's making me do this and will apparently be reading every chapter. Ugh. I don't really know how to close and my shrink wants me to write after school too(*yawn*) so see ya later I guess.
School was horrible. Apparently here, the rich, nice kids are the losers and the popular kids are the emo, covered in piercings and tattoos type. I wore a pink "I LOVE LA" tank top, white jeans, black sequined leather jacket, and matching black sequined stilettos. As soon as I walked into the building a kid ran into me carrying a wet Styrofoam diagram of the planets, freshly painted! It stained my white jeans, which are now $500 down the drain! This really cute guy walked up and helped me to the bathroom. I got all excited, thinking that my luck has changed but it turns out he was just trying to find an excuse to get away from his girlfriend! She had been trying to plan a dinner with him and her parents and he couldn't handle the stress. In every class I had, my teachers would have me stand up in front of the entire class, introduce myself, and answer some stupid personal question like "What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?"that I think I kept getting wrong due to the whispers and giggles that burst up as soon as I finished my answer. After I sat down the teacher would take a second glance at my name and ask if I was in any way related to Charlie Day, which I would answer yes to, which was quickly followed by an eruption of whispers. The school I am attending, Hart County High School, is on it's last week of the first quarter, which means I have to do as much of the quarter's assignments for every class within the week. I have to finish at least 60% of the assignments to get an A for the quarter. Friends wise, I'm at zero, which really sucks. Anyone I try to talk to pretends I don't exist. Except that one dude. I would have sat with him, but his irritating girlfriend, Patricia, wouldn't allow it. Apparently she's the most popular girl in the school. She tried to pick a fight with me, but Logan, that one guy, broke it up. Thank god. I really hope tomorrow is better. Good night.
