Dear Athena,
School was normal, no picnic. It's no fun and it's especially challenging getting around. The girls that used to be my friends seem to want to make my life as hard as possible. They have moved on. I heard one of them say they didn't need me anymore. They spread rumors about me; trip me in the hall (which isn't that hard, but still), take away my lunch, etc. When I nearly fall, they laugh, I don't know what I did to deserve this. Why do my friends always leave me? What did I do that was so horrible? I dressed like them. I talked like them. I walked like…ok, not that one. Not in the literal sense at least. But still, I adapt to them in every sense possible. I always have. Why don't they like me?
I always adapt to my surroundings. I've found that it helps me the most. My "friends" come and go. So do my "interests." I pretend to enjoy the same things they do. I do whatever I can to fit in. But, eventually they grow weary of my presence and ditch me.
I've tried making friends by being myself, but that never works. The kinds of kids at my school don't like you for what's on the inside. They are superficial and narcissistic. I'm not like that. Positive on that one. I wish things were different.
But, I suppose I'm different. That's why I adapt. I'm different from everyone else. It is my obligation to conform to their wishes.
Normally I would just stop worrying and move on. I would attempt to find a new group and new friends. Not this time. The reason for this is something, just a simple sentence. "We're moving."
Authors Note: Hey! I'm sorry I didn't update my fics sooner, but this came in my mind. Thursday was my 18th birthday otherwise I would have posted then.
This is the 2nd in a series of fics. They will be about an OC female character as she struggles to find herself. The catch: for different reasons, in different ways, in different worlds. For more info read to find out!
