I sat in the corner of my room, nervous as hell and not wanting to go to school. for a 17 year old like me, I should be used to going to a new school by now.
I have to make a good impression though. I did my routine for the morning and changed into some nice clothes. I made my way downstairs and seen grandma, smiling big.
"Good luck today honey, I bet you can do great things." she smiled sweetly and hugged me. She's been really supportive of me since I don't have anyone to call mom or dad.
I always wanted a mother figure who was kind to me because that's what I want when I'm older. I wish my mom could be here for me. I miss mom a lot.
The only thing I remember about mom is that she loved singing and playing piano. She's such an amazing singer. however, she left me for drugs and her voice was too weak to sing anymore so I started taking lessons.
It was hard to get my own voice strong again. grandma has helped me with many things throughout my entire life. I never told anyone of my situation until just recently and now I need help.
I just don't want to leave my grandma by herself to take care of me and all the bills. I can't ask her because she would have to give up her job. She works really hard and it makes her happy.
she deserves to be happy. I hope she feels better soon. i have to go, the bell is going to ring soon and I've already been talking to her for long enough. I say goodbye to her once more and walk to school.
When I entered the building, everyone seemed to stare at me and whisper among themselves. Everyone is either whispering or staring at me.
I walk down the hall and pass a girl who seems to be having a panic attack, so I decide to stop her. "are you okay?" she looks up and smiles softly. "yes thank you for stopping me.
I have a really bad anxiety disorder. it doesn't affect me physically, but if I think I'm alone, or that someone is watching me and then they turn around it gets overwhelming."
she starts tearing up a little bit but continues speaking. "I also suffer from anxiety attacks often. I have them a lot. I just try to avoid them in the hallways and stuff.""oh wow... you should probably sit down then. do you need anything else for it?"
"no thank you. my anxiety medication will be fine." she nods and walks away slowly. I walked towards the office with my papers, looking at everyone passing by who was staring at me. I feel weird.
