Contour (chapter 1)

The morning birds chirped out loud, the sun was dull and filled with clouds, it was time for school..but I didn’t want to go. “Emely Angeli Reyes! Levantarse!” My mom yelled, she has always been this way, yelling, cursing, crying, laughing, and more yelling. But most importantly, she can never see the signs, of insecurity, depression, and self harm.

I put on my pants and a t-shirt, and topped it off with a jacket that covered me. I liked the idea of baggy clothes, my mom never did. I fixed my curly hair, grabbed my glasses and shoes, and went outside of my room for my phone. My two older siblings, Leah, and Genesis, aren’t like me, they are picky with clothes and do makeup to make themselves look pretty, they are so pretty. Unlike me.

As I arrived at school, I just sat on a stone bench and waited till I saw my friends. Olivia, Erin, and lyric, I saw them, as lyric ran up to me, being the happy person she is, she told me to follow her to class, so I did, then Olivia showed, and so on, it was a fine first day back, but something didn’t sit right with me.

Before summer break started and it was the last day of school, a boy confessed to me that he liked me a week before the end. I explained to him there would be a high chance I’d reject him, and he started stalking me at school ever since, I’ve never told him my feeling for him because I didn’t like him, but him and hi are now in some classes together, which makes me feel uneasy because he keeps staring at me when I catch him.

Luckily I’ve got my friends to sit next to but they don’t understand me. They sometimes leave me out of their friend group. Or just leave me for some stupid disagreement. And me? Me. I have bad anger issue’s, but I do good alone. Sometimes I crack and go all beast. (With talking) but I don’t fist fight. I talk through my emotions, because I’m also a heavy overthinker.

But now let’s talk about class, I’m really bad at math so I’m trying my best to ignore questions whatsoever, all my other friends are pro's at math! Which makes me feel dumb, and disappointed with my brain, and whenever I get my report card, I think you know what will be an F!

Meanwhile my sisters? One is finishing her last year in middle school while the other is in her freshman year, Leah is the freshman and genesis is in 8th grade. I’m in 6th. I’m quite young but I understand more mature themes than others. Leah says she wants a fresh start with her life in high school, because she’s suffered self-harm, depression, and insomnia. Meanwhile genesis just has internet drama and has only suffered loneliness. Me? I’ve suffered. As the youngest, people think I get treated like the queen, but it’s not true..not at all.
