Chapter 1_Once upon an introvert

One would think life would be quite easy for those who do not like to interact with people or talk alot, oh well that isn't the case. My name is Avery and am an introvert, i do not fancy interacting with people especially those of my teenage age, they are so not classy, tend to bully people lower than them and they are just dickheads, yea am not sorry for saying that. okay my loves, i have got to prepare for school, my worst nightmare. It's 7am in the morning, I've got school by 9 and i am so not prepared. Oh!! am 18 by the way.

I picked out the clothes i would like to wear, just going with a nice and simple aesthetics today, a big black cargo pants, with a white armless crop top coupled with a white sneakers. i head over to the bathroom to have my bath, before entering i checked the time and it was already 8:10am, i took my bath, washed my hair cause it felt kind of greasy, by the time i was done, i had 20 minutes left. I quickly dressed up, packed my hair in a cute messy bun and wore my favourite necklace, and some few bracelets i wear out all the time. With just ten minutes left, i rushed downstairs, took few protein bars and headed outside to get my bicycle. The journey to my school was just about 20 minutes on foot, but because i usually use my bicycle, it just takes like 8 minutes. i get to school at exactly 8:55am enough time to not miss my first period of class. The bell rang at exactly 9am, signaling that the first period had started, and i have history, one of my best subjects or should i say my only best? yea, so the teacher walks in, Mr. Xander, urging the rest of the class to settle down, while he brings out his materials for the lecture, for the next one hour, he talked about historical events that happened in the past, which was quite interesting to me, because history talks about the past events and what had happened in the past and i am always curious to find out more about what happened to our ancestors and ancient artifacts. Mr. Xander, before the bell for the next class rang gave us an assignment to find out about Napoleon Bonaparte, a french military commander during his time and what he achieved and also his failures and criticisms.

After he left, the classroom became really noisy as usual, oh well what do i expect from bunch of fools who can't even stay quiet for few minutes, oh! my bad. In my class, we have lots of personalities, we have charlie and her two minions known as the class brats, the nerdy nerds those who always sit at the front, and oh it won't be complete without the class bully himself, Jeffrey, a boy i hate so much with passion. You must be wondering why i said i hate him? oh for one he is a bully and for another he is just a stupid fool who likes to flirt with girls as he likes, sure he is cute and all but nah, also girls just like to be around him and i just find that disgusting. so, you might be wondering where i stand in all these personalities, well am just a girl who sits alone because she find talking to people awkward so i sit at the edge of the class close to the wall where i know i won't really be recognized that easily.

The bell for the next period rang and i sighed because i know i won't be enjoying the next subject i have, Mathematics. For the next two periods, we solved equations and equations and equations!!. Finally the bell rang for lunch and i was so excited because i was so done with mathematics. I headed to the cafeteria, going straight to where they serve foods to collect mine and just go sit in a corner, when all of a sudden the noise in the cafeteria stops. Turns out, the bully himself Jeffrey Beston, has arrived with, should i call them his entourage?? just kidding! his football team. yep yep he is a footballer, more reason to be a bully. He walked up to one of the nerds in our class, i think his name should be Matthew or was it Mark? oh well not like i care. Jeffrey looked like he had some sort of business with Matthew or Mark and he hasn't finished it, he looked so scared like he was about to pee his pants. Jeffrey took him by his collar and dragged him out, following behind, were his set of friends. I knew at that moment that Matthew or Mark was going to get beat up real real bad, i feel so sorry for him, he would be fine though.

Lunch time was over after 30 minutes and it was time for the next class, which was Arts. Time went by as quickly as possible and then it was time to go home. i picked up my bag and headed outside to go to where i left my bicycle in the morning, then i went back home. I got home and i was so stressed that i went straight to my room, threw my bag somewhere on the floor, laid down on my bed and drifted to sleep just immediately.

"Averyyyyyyyyyyyy", i heard someone call my name. "Averyyy" oh i just knew who that was. I rubbed my sleepy eye as milly barged into my room ready to break down my door. Milly, is my best bestest friend and my only friend, she is an extrovert and likes to talk to people, i don't even know how we became friends but it just happened. She jumps on my bed as she proceeds to tell me her gossips as usual, we go to different school by the way.

"Avery,do you know what happened today?" she began.

"How am i supposed to know that, it's not like am in your school dummy" i laughed as i said that

"Darren asked lisa to be his girlfriend in front of everyone in the cafeteria and he was rejected"

i gasped.

"Oh my, oh my that's so not nice" i said " i wonder how he would have felt".

For the next one hour, we talked and talked about things that were happening around us, well mostly milly though since i didn't really have much to say. She left few minutes after since it was getting quite late, this was around 5:30 in the evening and i went downstairs to the kitchen to look for what i could eat while i wait for my Mom and Dad to get back from work around six. My Mom and Dad are both salary earners, so they do go out as early as seven in the morning and come back around six in the evening leaving me all alone in the house for hours, not like i mind though i really enjoy the peace.

At exactly 6:30, my Mom's car pulled up to the garage and i went out to help get things she got inside, with my dad arriving 20 minutes after.

Dinner was ready in the next one hour, everyone ate and left to do what they went to do while i cleared the dining table and washed the dishes that were used. After washing the dishes, I head straight to my room to do my history assignment that was given to us earlier in the day. After my hours of research and putting them together i was finally done and so tired that i just laid down on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
