This is something i've been hinting at since Don't forget me which is chronologically the first in my series so it feels very good to have this talked about now
Most of you probably know what it is though if you thought about it hard enough I made it a little more obvious than I wanted to
Wendy's POV
I sat the mirror down looking at my hat
Flashing back to my first day of school
I had just turned 8 up until now I was a home schooler but my Dad's always working and without my mom around well I had to be sent to school
My first day I was rather shy compared to how I am now
I walked onto the bus most people around me looked at me like I was some kind of freak I didn't realize it at the time but this was due to my height
The only people at the entire bus that didn't give me a mean look were named Candy and Grenda
I sat down next to them wanting to avoid all the mean looks
"Hey my name's Grenda and this is Candy" The muscular girl said to me
"How old are you?" Candy asked me
"I'm 8 you?" I asked her
"SAME AS US! WOW!" Grenda said punching the seat in front of her
"OW!" We heard someone ahead say
"Hey that hurt-
HAHAHAHA! HEY LOOK EVERYBODY THIS GIRL'S THE SAME AGE AS ME! The girl said pointing at me
That girl in front of us was Pacifica Northwest
Everyone on the bus started laughing it was the most embarrassing moment of my life
They're were lots of them after that though every day following I would dread school
She made fun of me all the time everyday I couldn't take it anymore
I was a freak I looked like I was at least 4 years older than I was
Then about 1 Year Later I concocted a plan
My Dad and Brother's never remembered how old I was born they were the most forgetful family in the world
So I decided the only way to avoid the humiliation was to pose as a teenager a 13 Year Old to start with
But I needed someway to get ahead into another grade
Suprisingly enough it wasn't that hard I told the teacher that if he didn't my Dad would beat his face off
But it wasn't enough to just act like a teenager I had to like one too
That's why I changed to my new longer hair style Started wearing my boots
Not that I didn't like it though it kinda grew on me
Year after year I started lying about my age but when my Dad wanted me to get a job he suggested I go work at my Cousin's logging camp
I convinced him to let me stay in Gravity Falls by telling him I already had a job
Which was a lie so I had to find one fast...
The only one I could find that was hiring was the Mystery Shack
It wasn't the ideal place but eventually it grew on me the friends here have been more than just a good laugh
They're like family to me...
And I can't be dishonest with them anymore... Not them not anybody
I have to tell them that i'm actually 12
I then run out the door to get back to Dipper and Mabel
