Chapter 1 - Kassava (16 years old)
I walk to my locker and after I take some of the books from the locker to put in my backpack, I close my locker and I walk to my friend, Ally. My crush, Dillon, is standing on the other side of us, talking to his friend, Jose.
"Ooooh I hope Dillon says yes to you," My friend Ally whispers. I've been wanting to tell him that I like him, but I've been scared for some reason. Over time, I tried to build my confidence by coming up with the right words and praticing in my mirror at home. Thankfully, my friends helped me out a whole bunch and I finally have the confidence that didn't have before.
"Bye, Dillon," Jose says before he leaves.
"Bye, man," Dillon replies.
"Oh my gosh, now's your chance, Bianca," Ally tells me. Bianca is the name my adoptive family gave me, but my real name is Kassava. I'm actually from the planet Vegeta and I'm of the Saiyan race, not making me a human being.
"Alright, I got this," I breathe in and out and then I walk to Dillon, who was leaning against his locker with his eyes closed.
"Hey, Dillon," I ask. Dillon opens his eyes, straightening up, "can I talk to you for a second?"
"Ok," Dillon says.
"I like you, so I was wondering if you-" I say, but I get interrupted.
"Hahahahaha, me go out with someone like you? Not in a million years because you're ugly and you're really weird," Dillon says before he leaves. My heart shatters into a million pieces. I look Ally with a sad look and she also has a sad look.
"Oh my gosh, I am terribly sorry," Ally walks up to me and she comforts me with her hand rubbing my back, "Dillon is a jerk."
I realize now that I should be grateful to see that I was able to see someone who isn't worth being in my life.
"Thanks, Ally," I reply, smiling, "I'm not going to change myself to someone I'm not. I've learned that I should be relieved because I have to let go of someone who wasn't worth my time and who isn't worth being in a relationship with. I've seen girls get hurt many times as well as boys and it's really heartbreaking that some people can't appreciate others for what they do and who they are."
"Wow," Ally says, looking at me with surprised eyes, "Those were one of the most influential speeches I have ever heard. I need to learn from you."
"Thanks, you can always talk to me whenever you need someone to talk to," I reply.
"Guys, I am so sorry for being late," My other friend, Tabitha, calls out to us.
"What took you so long, Tabitha?" Ally jokes as Tabitha walks to us.
"Sorry, I was talking with one of my teachers about an assignment," Tabitha replies.
"No no, you're good," I reply, smiling.
"Yeah, it's all good," Ally replies, smiling.
"Hey, Bianca, what did Dillon say?" Tabitha asks me.
"Do you know how Bianca handled the situation? Dillon is a jerk and he rejected her, calling her ugly and weird, and Bianca quickly picked herself back up," Ally says, smiling at Tabitha and I.
"Wow," Tabitha replies, "I wish I was like you. I really hate Dillon for rejecting an amazing girl like you."
"Thanks, Tabitha," I reply, smiling.
We walk out of the school building and we say our byes to each other. After that, we walk to our own cars. I open the car to get in and then, I drive out of the school parking lot.
I get home five minutes later and as I ring the doorbell, my adoptive mom opens the door with a smile, like always, and I smile back, like always.
"Hey, Bianca, how was your day?" She asks me.
"My day was good, thank you for asking, and how was your day?" I ask her back.
"My day went good, thank you for asking too," she replies before we go into our house.
She knows that my biological mom is still on Planet Vegeta, well, that's where we hope she is. I think about her everyday, wishing that she is able to come here to Planet Earth. Since it took me about a year to get to Planet Earth, I was around eight years old when I came here and I left Planet Vegeta when I was around seven. It has been nine years since I came here and I can't thank my adoptive family enough for all they have done for me.
I walk to my room to get a new set of clothes to put on and I head for the shower. After I shower, I put on the new set of clothes and I put the old set of clothes in the laundry hamper. Then, I go to my room to start on my homework. I have most of studying to do and not much of written assignments.
