1 Chapter 1

Amory-that's my name. Picked out by my parents and later figured out its German for someone who is a leader, divine, brave. At least I wish I was any of those adjectives. I'm 14 years old, and starting high school in two days, and scared out of my mind. My 2 best friends, Paige and Elizabeth are going to different schools, so that sucks. It was always difficult for me to make friends because I was always shy leading to my classmates thinking I'm "weird". So 3 weirdos united together to make a friendship that will last a lifetime. I keep my expectations on the low, so I knew high school couldn't be as fun as it looks like in High School Musical. Imagine just going to school and seeing people dancing on tables. I would be freaked out thinking either I'm going crazy or they are. I was thinking of doing my summer assignments very early so I don't have to the last minute. But I guess that was bs, knowing that I'm the biggest procrastinator on planet Earth. So here I am September 3, reading The Great Gatsby, 2 days before school opens, and I have to write a whole essay on the book. Luckily, being the shy person I am, I read a lot of books, and love writing. Probably why English is the only subject I like and never failed in.
