1 Expectations

In high school, everyone has high expectations that it's going to be great. That teens get to have fun, go to parties, get drunk, smoke cigarettes or whatever teens do to be cool, but there's always that one teen that's different...

She's pretty, has long black hair to her hips, dark brown eyes and always wearing tomboy clothes. You expect her to be popular, but you're wrong...I prefer to be alone.

Hi, I'm Catherine..Catherine Joy, but my friends call me CJ. That is, if I had any. I couldn't even make a friend to save my life; let alone fall in love. You see, there's something wrong with me that makes me different from everyone else. I'm not just saying that to be dramatic. I have never really felt emotions towards someone. Yes, I can feel physically and everything, but never happiness, sadness, anger, you get the jist. Never towards a person or animal or even a thing. I've been like this my whole life. Always feeling...empty.

For a person like me to always feel empty, that's part of the reason why I can't make friends. So it's easier for people to just avoid me and I don't blame them. But for always feeling nothing and being alone gets me into a lot of trouble. There are these girls at my school. I know, the cliche situation where the loner girl gets picked on. I'm not too fond of it either. But anyway, these girls absolutely hate me. I didn't even bother to learn their names despite the fact that I've seen them around since middle school. I can't remember if I've done anything to them, but whatever. These girls would always call me names, push me in the halls, slam me against lockers, push me over, the things a typical bully would have on their checklist. They would do anything to make my school life a living hell.

And today...today at school I just couldn't take it any longer...
