Dear Journal,
When in high school, I wouldn't call myself a dork, but I didn't have many friends. Let me change that, I didn't have any friends at all. I wasn't a loser, I was a nobody. The differences between the two are very simple. When you are a loser, you have some friends, and some people know who you are. But if you are a nobody, you have no friends, and no one knows who you are. Sometimes I use to wish I was a loser instead of a nobody. But that's how my life is.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Maria Rose DeLuca. I am a 16 year old girl who lives in the alien capital of the world, Roswell, New Mexico. I am 5'4' with blond hair, green eyes, and big lips. My body is average, not to much detail on that. I am the only child to the parents of Amy and Bryan DeLuca. My mom owns her own alien shop, and my dad is a doctor. We live in the good part of town, have a nice size house. Enough about the house let me tell you about the "group".
The "group" is a group of kids that rule Roswell High. The "group" consist of seven teens. The names of the seven are Max and Isabel Evans, Michael and Tess Guerin, Liz Parker, Alex Whitman, and Kyle Valenti. Tess and Liz are the only two out of the seven that are the same age as me. Max and Isabel are twins and Michael is Tess's older brother. He is only a year older then Tess. Max and Liz are dating and Michael is Max's best friend. Tess and Kyle along with Isabel and Alex are also dating. Michael doesn't really date, he just "hooks up."
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be friends with them. I have always envied Isabel and Tess for the way that their blond hair always seemed clean and perfect. I have envied Liz for her book smarts, and Alex for his talent in music. I have never envied Max, Michael, or Kyle. I have had a crush on Michael since 5th grade, and I know that he doesn't feel the same way towards me.
In school, everyone stays out of their way. But at the same time, everyone wants to be apart of the "group."
After school everyday, I help my mom out at her shop. I only work at her shop for two hours a day during the week and I work all day on Saturdays. Since I don't have any friends, I don't go out and party on the weekends. So every Friday night, my homework is done, so I don't have to worry about it for the rest of the weekend.
I just wish I was like everyone else in school. I wish I had friends, a boyfriend, or parties to go to on the weekends. Maybe one day my wish will come true. Well I have to go and help my mom with dinner. This is nice having something to put my feelings and thoughts into. I really have to go now. Bye!!
Love,
Maria
With that, Maria closed her journal and hid it up on the top shelf of her closet. She closed the door and then headed downstairs to help her mother with dinner.
"Mom," Maria asked once she was in the kitchen, "have you ever wished that you had a different life?"
"No, why would I. If I had a different life, then I wouldn't have you or the love of your father" Amy said to her daughter.
"Okay mom, I love you too," Maria said.
"Go set the table, dinner is almost ready," Amy told Maria.
Maria went around the kitchen, getting everything that she needed to set the table. Once she was done setting the table, dinner was ready for them to eat. After dinner was done, Maria excused herself and went upstairs. She was getting her stuff together for the next day. The next day was Monday, and that meant that she was going to get paired up with someone new in biology.
