Monday, January 2nd
Today was just like any other rainy January day. Second semester classes just happened to start, and to be completely honest, I wasn't nervous about any of them. I had purposefully loaded my schedule with honors and AP classes in order to give myself a better chance at Valedictorian next year.
It wasn't so much the fact that I wanted to be Valedictorian as it was the fact that I wanted to show up Dorothy Ann. In third grade, she had been a sweet girl, but since then she had drastically changed. She has become a conniving, backstabbing, conceited, unfriendly, stuck-up person. She also jumps at anything that slightly resembles a male. Me, well, I've never been like that. Ann (as she is now called) cheats in her classes and laughs about it because she never gets caught.
At one point we were friends, I don't know what happened to make her become such a jerk. But that's beside the point. My goal is to become Valedictorian in order to beat her, and prove that good does indeed triumph over evil. My friends are behind me, I guess, but I don't really have very many of them.
Everyone hates Ann, but it doesn't mean that they exactly like me. I'm a bit socially awkward and quiet, I can't even make eye contact with boys that interest me. As a result, I've never had a boyfriend. Well, I guess I have had a boyfriend if you count the 5 minute zap Ralphie looked at in 7th grade. I knew it wasn't serious, but just said "Yes" to torment him.
It kind of bothers me that boys don't seem interested. Daddy says that it's just because they are all intimidated by how smart and pretty I am. But what does he know? He can't even see me since the accident left him completely blind!
Anyway, today was pretty normal. Nothing exciting happened. I know the majority of the people in my classes and unfortunately Carlos Ramon is my lab partner for AP Chemistry. Oh well, I'm sure I can pull this out somehow.
Love Life,
Phoebe Terese
