Despite the stressful night before, I pulled myself together and forced myself to go to the college in order to sign up for classes. This year I would have to take all of the required classes, such as math, English and a computer concepts class. I was planning on becoming a computer graphic design artist. I really wanted to do something with art for my career and that is really the only thing that actually pays well. If I could I would be a musician, it has been my life dream to be noticed for my music. Ever since I was eight, I have been playing music, I first learned the guitar then when I was ten I got a keyboard. Every keeps telling me that my music should remain a hobby and I should expect nothing to ever become of it. At first I ignored what they said because to me dreams can come true. But the older I get the more I realize, they might be right. I have decided to continue playing my guitar and singing every Friday night at local cafes but focus on school. I had only been in the college once before so I didn t really know my way around. Soon enough I found multiple signs pointing down different hall ways to sign up for different classes and visit teachers. I only got to meet the math professor who seemed rather sketchy and creepy. I could just imagine him being the teacher that everyone claims is secretly a serial killer. It didn t take very long to get through it all, only about an hour. I walking along the main road, putting my phone back in my black purse. As a silver convertible drove by and two blond girls screamed "Lesbian" at me. I was so sick of Brittney and Becky, I never even did anything to them. They just enjoyed tormenting me, and I can never think of something to say back. Walking into the apartment, I saw Alice making a sandwich in the kitchen.
"Alice," I said.
"What?" She replied sounding very annoyed that I was talking to her.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you last night," She paused for a second at what I said but ended up smiling.
"It s ok, I understand," She said while bringing me in for a hug.
"Now I do feel like a lesbian..." I awkwardly said, Alice just pulled away and looked confused. "I got called a lesbian on the way home," I explained.
"Which one?"
"Both," I said.
"Wow!" she yelled, "That s a lot of plastic and silicone in one place," We both burst out laughing as soon as she said it. I grabbed the box of cookies we always have on the top shelf of the pantry and sat down on the couch. Flipping through the channels I found the girlyest romantic comedy on.
"One day you will stand up to those bitches," She said while stealing one of my cookies.
"One day..." I said quietly, highly doubting I would ever have the courage to ever say anything. I ve never been an aggressive or assertive person, I was always known as the quiet, sweet girl. I used to just be the person no one really knew because I was so quiet. Last year I got sick of not being known so I changed my attitude and got louder and more spontaneous.
"OH! I know something that will make you happy again!" Alice said with excitement while shaving another cookie in her mouth.
"What?" I already knew what she was going to say but I knew I had to ask.
"Tokio Hotel!" She yelled while throwing her arms up in the air, "You get to see the adorable Bill Kaulitz in concert!" She said with a terrible fake German accent.
"I know! And it s going to be wonderful!" I said with a huge grin on my face. It was only two days until the concert, my boss already agreed to let me off work an hour early so I can drive the hour to the venue. This would definitely make me forget all about everything stressful in my life.
