PORTFOLIOMy storyThere he was right in front of me. His soft hands and beautiful face calmed me down and took away almost all of my nerves.The feel of my textbooks in my hands felt like a wrong addition to the picture.There it happened, the bell rang and he walked away.I headed to my first class and saw my best friend sitting next to the popular girls.I wonder, “Is she being forced to be someone she's not???”I leave the conversation and head back to my seat thinking “Is this fair to her and me???” I stop thinking about it and start listening to my teacher. “Today we will do pages 30 through 70-- get to work you only have 3 hours.” I got to work and stopped in my own tracks.I heard a pencil scratching on a paper.Who was that….. HE WAS BEHIND ME THIS WHOLE TIME! And you might be wondering who is he?Well you`re in for a treat-- his name is Ace, who is the most popular and smart boy in school!I can't tell if it’s clear or not yet, but I love him. He's kind and smart and not spoiled like everyone else, but of course someone has to spoil my fun... he already has a girlfriend.I stop thinking about the bad and get back to work.Then the bell rang.I walk out of my class to see Miranda the lead bully is standing in front of my locker. ”Where did you get the outfit?Oh let me guess, Goodwill ''.I rage inside but I notice Ace is around so I hide it deep down inside my heart.I hear the bell ring for the last time of the day.I head over to my local Starbucks to get a mocha frappe and then I see him with Miranda “Is she his girlfriend???”I ignore the “cute” couple and go inside to get my drink and then I see my best friend hanging out with the popular girls and their boyfriends once again . I walk up to them and say “Where's that promise coming in.I thought you hated them”I tell my best friend.She turns around gasping she says “Um Billie why are you here?”, she says nervously.”I could say the same for you”, I say back.”well”, she says “You’re ugly and I dont need you”, I rage once again“Oh I'm sorry I thought you were talking to a mirror”,I shot back.I feel betrayed and hurt I realize I should've known she was fake. I was dumb to think she would've stayed with me through all of this drama.But why I think to myself just why?The next day I gaze up at the beautiful california sky and wonder why is it always me. I always get the bad luck it's so unfair!I leave starbucks my frappe in my hand I see the couple once again just seeing them makes me sick to my stomach.I head back to my house I see my sister and parents on the couch watching The Office their favorite!I walk to my room and plop on my bed to watch youtube.My mom walks in and reminds me that I have homework I roll my eyes and say “fin, I'm so excited”,I say sarcastically.I decided to skip my homework and do it later.Well that's at least what i said i didn't mean it!I sigh and get back to my video i click the unpause button and listen to my favorite youtuber keep on talking and talking and talking it starts to get annoying.I see a link for another youtuber named Leah Ashe I click on the link and get blinded by all the pink I see.But deep down I kinda like it!I shut my computer as I hear my bedroom door open my sister walks in with a white box and my parents follow closely behind.My sister hands me the box I notice it's upside down.I turn it right side up and see a picture of a watch on the front.I open the box and see a purple watch laying in the box.It says apple watch with a picture of an apple.I wonder what it is then my dad interrupts my thinking and says “it's a really cool watch we got for you do you like it?”I stay silent then my sister says “try it on!” I take the watch out of the box and put it on. It’s purple medal makes it kind of uncomfortable “does it come in a more comfortable version???” “no”,my dad says my parents leave the room.I take of the watch and set it on my bedside table.I look at the time and notice its 10:45 so i go over to my closet and grab my navy and black pjs and go to the bathroom to put them on.I brush my teeth ang go down to the kitchen to have dinner really quick.I grab a glass of water and head back to my room and jump on my bed i get all cozy and pull my cell phone out of my drawer.I play my favorite game for around 15 minutes and then turn my lamp off.The next morning I wake up and smell the coffee in the air.I walk downstairs and see my mom making coffee and my dad and sister watching the news.I hear the catchy song that the news has.I hum the song along with the tv.I gobble down a piece of jelly toast and grab my backpack.Then I realize i'm still in my pjs!I run backup to my room and run to my closet.I grab my uniform and put it on.Then run back down stairs yelling “love you Mom and Dad love you Sis!!!”.I dash out the door the see Ace right in front of me.”Ace what are you doing here!?!?!”,I say.”just came to check on you!”Ace says.We start to walk to school but keep talking.When we get to school we walk to our lockers together which are right beside each other.But to our surprise there she is miranda standing right in between my locker and Aces as well as Arsenal and Mira.Oh and the traitor Bella.I try to grab my books but miranda jumps in front of my locker and says “you don't need those only smart kids like Ace and me do.Sorry honey!”I feel anger but also an opportunity “well i'm sorry for trying to be smart unlike you!How can you be smart if you skip class!”I pull up a picture of Miranda and her friends hanging out behind the school when there was supposed to be in class.Ha she says the funniest thing back!”tha- thats not me!!!!”so i say “then why does it say under it “miranda's day off #everyday”She doesn't speak for a hot 20 seconds then the bell rang!I head to class Ace not far behind me.I walked into my ELA class with my book in my hand.As i said in the beginning my textbooks are very weird and a wrong addition to every picture.But what can i say?!?! Nothing that's what! I am a straight A student!Oh and by the way.Then the bell rang and had gotten none of me test done!So much for straight A student!My mom is going to kill me!Ugh i wish i could erase time ya know it would be so cool!I sighed and exited my classroom.I headed over to my locker to put my ELA and my MATH textbooks away.When there i see him again.Ace right in front of my locker.I remain silent and push him to the side so i can reach my locker to put my books away.But he jumps right in front of it again.I finally give in and say “hi Ace how ya doin?”I say in my best country accent.Ace kinda just stop talking for about 30 seconds and then starts back up “robots activate!”I die laughing and when i stop it's almost like I didn't! But I calm down and say “ hi mr.robot!” Now it's his turn to laugh he dies kinda like I did!It was so funny!I think we might have choked!?!?Then two new faces walk through the school doors.I try to ask Ace who they are but he walks away to introduce himself to them.”Hi and i'm Ace fairfield nice to meet you!” One ignored him but the other was all “nice to meet you boo”Haha it was so funny!.”um i don't even know you what makes you think you can call me boo?” ,Ace said “well my bad my name is lyla and that carl my brother!”, lyla said.”sup”, carl said.They weren't in school uniforms!I won't be surprised if they get in trouble.My thinking was interrupted by the bell once again!I headed to my bike which was parked near the school.I got on my bike as I heard the bell ring for the final time of the day.Once again I headed to starbucks but this time for a different reason.I needed a job im almost done with high school i'm a senior right now and i need a job if I want money.So I headed to starbucks.The white hiring sign proved I had a chance of getting the job.I walked inside and go straight to the register.I ask the cashier about the job.”hi i'm here for a job interview,”,I say.”well what job do you want?”,the cashier says.”hmmm maybe a drink maker or server?”, I say.”ok right down that hall the manager will be waiting for you.”,the cashier says.I walk down the dark hall i pass the kitchen and break room on my way to the manager's office.I see the silver manager sign as a walk to the office.I was so nervous but I calmed down and said “hi my name is billie and i want to apply for a bartender”, I said.”yeah yeah I saw your records in school you seem qualified just answer a few questions I have please bare with me,”,he said.”Oh no problem”,I said.Boy was I wrong about this.”do you have cooking experience?Do you know how to properly state the menu?What times can you work?”,he said.The questions went on and on and on it was so annoying.Finally i said “so do i have the job or not?!?!”.”yes you do!”,he said.”omg thank you so much i won't let you down!”I said.”I hope not…..”,he said.I left the office joy in my heart.I went to the kitchen and grabbed my apron.They had spelled my name wrong.”billy is not my name.Well it is but it's wrong spelling.”,I said to myself.I got to work on the mochi frappe someone had ordered.Her name was…… kylie yeah that's right.I so I finished kylies drink and then I noticed through the window I saw bella but not with miranda and her friends by herself.I decide to use my break right now and go talk to her.As I don my apron and put it on the counter this chef stops me on my way out the door.”you can't leave you dont get your break until…… 12:00 pm!”,the chef says.”well I'm sorry but the manager gave me a raise so I think I should get a break besides it's not like your doing anything but bossing people around”,I lied about the raise but everything else was true!” I guess I can let it slide this once”,the chef said.I ran out of the kitchen over to bella and i say “how's the weather over in loservill?”.”fine I guess.Im planning to go back to nerdville in a week after prom.”,she says “I just wanna be with the popular girls for prom the ill get all the guys”.”yada yada yada who cares well the train to nerdville is leaving right now so make your choice loservill or nerdvill?”,I say.”I shouldn't have to choose this is why I left you!”,bella says.We keep on fighting and fighting. Ok so maybe I didn't get my happy ending with Ace. And maybe my and bella were meant to fall apart. But hey, I can't control my life and you can't either. So enjoy your life while you can because it WILL fall apart! THE END |
