My LifeThis is a featured page

Before I can fully tell you about my experience, I think you should know a few background things. Like, my mom and dad got a divorce back when I was in 2nd. My mom, what can I say about her? She has a thing about controlling people in a way that’s different than how you think. It’s like she knows what she wants but she thinks she has to do it secretly in a manipulative way or it won’t work. My dad, he’s nice. He respects my choices and only intrudes on my privacy if he finds it necessary. I have a step-mom, and two step-bros. They are okay, but they get annoying sometimes. Correction: they get annoying all the time. Not kidding. I do have one bro and one sis. My brother is about a year and a week younger than me. We mostly get along, and if we don’t it only lasts about an hour before we make up and forget all about it. My sister lives with the rest of my entire family up in Washington. She’s about 4 years older than me and we’ve had our sister bonding moments. But she lives a little too far to really get any advice or to talk to her about what’s up. My grandma is the only other relative that I really include in my family, along with my dad, brother, and sister. They’re the real family I have. Now for the experience: I’ve always been the outcast at school. Mostly because of my originality and knowledge. I’m apparently smarter than my friends. That’s what they say anyways. Most people at my school find me weird because of my celiac disease and my obsession with zebras. Don’t get the wrong idea though. I’m not going to go and sacrifice myself to the zebra specie just to feel like a worthy enough cause for them. I’m not that weird. But I think the most trouble my life has brought came back in 7th grade. To warn you though, it was mostly boy trouble. It was near the end of the school year in May. My best friend, H, called me. I thought it was just to talk about homework we had, but I was wrong on so many levels. She basically asked me if I wanted to go out with her cousin, Gh0stR1der. Yeah, him. Incase you don’t know me, which I hope; I don’t like to take the easy route through life. I basically told her to tell Gh0stR1der that I would tell him on Friday (it was Wednesday when she called) with my answer. I spent the next two nights busy with my decision thinking. On Friday, I handed him the note. It told him exactly what he needed to do. In Spanish. Yes, Spanish. My step-mom is Spanish so I just got the idea from her. It was fun to do. I like messing with people’s minds. He came up to me ever so often asking me what a word meant or something like that. It took him FOREVER to finally figure it out. I think about a week later after I gave him the note, he asked me out. Took long enough! Now you probably think that’s the end. The whole story is done, right? Wrong. That’s only the beginning. Now it’s 8th grade. We were happy. Of course, I had people coming up to me and asking if I was really going out with him. Most the conversations were like: “Hey, Morreen, you would NEVER guess what I just heard!” “ What?” “Are you really going out with Gh0stR1der?” “Yeah, so?” Then they usually just left. Sometimes laughing. But that was just them being preps and snooty. They weren’t any friends of mine, anyways. And I putted up with all this for the rest of the year. Around February, I think around Valentine’s Day, a few things happened to ruin the whole thing. My other friend, Redneckpolitician, came up with these horrible games for us all to play. They were called “Let’s get everybody mad at each other” and “Let’s ignore our boyfriend and act like we’re mad at him”. Incase you guys didn’t notice, Redneckpoliticain doesn’t really like Gh0stR1der and me going out. So I letter her bully me into playing her silly games. Of course, being the idiot I was, I didn’t think about what might happen. I had my friends, Kaykay123456789, C, and CC, over when it happened. Just like the beginning, the end had the same way of working. H called me up and told me that he wanted to break up with me. I don’t want to go and make everybody think I’m some crazy freak so long story short I threw this necklace with his name on it into a pool and moped with my friends with me. The next day, I left for the airport to go to Washington. No, I wasn’t fleeing the state because of what happened. I was leaving for summer vacation to visit family members. All summer, I had to imagine what was going on down in Arkansas. It was the worst summer I have ever had. Words can’t begin to describe what I went through. Until the summer ended… Now, I’m in ninth grade. This is where the real confusing parts happen. Near the end of the summer, Gh0stR1der and me started to become friends again. It was hard on me, but I got through it. School started. His locker was like one over and one down. Panic attacks and anxiety were my main problems all day on the first day of school, high school. For the first month of school, I tried to be mad or annoyed at him, but it was hard to do. He joined my site and made one of his own. We talked over the sites a lot. There was a time about 4 weeks ago when we kinda were annoyed with each there cause of a “Wetpaint war" we had. It was funny, but harsh at the same time. We got over it though. And we started to talk again. I called him up and we got through it. Then his friend asked me out. Not wanting to go into too much detail, but it was kinda weird. Not saying he wasn’t a sweet guy, but to be asked out by your ex’s best friend is just plain awkward. I said no. Once again, Gh0stR1der and me became closer. Not THAT close. But close enough to become close enough to talk about anything. It’s hard to find somebody to talk to like that. I can’t even talk to some of my friend’s about some of the things we talk about. Weird, isn’t it? But, true. No, that’s not the end either. My friend Redneckpolitician will kill me! Just because I’m talking and passing notes to him! She can kinda be controlling of one person’s social life, if you haven’t noticed. She ignored me half the summer because I called him. Think what she would do if I told her that I liked him again! I don’t even want to think about telling her that. She’s the main reason I think that I have no social life worthy enough to call a social life. What kind of friend is she? Well, she did help me through the summer and all. I don’t know what to call her, to tell you the truth. My friends are even bugging me now. H and your_little_desire are telling me over and over that Gh0stR1der and me made a good couple. Your_little_desire keeps asking me if I’m going out with him. She asks me everyday. She always laughs when she sees him and me passing notes. I know she doesn’t gossip, but it makes me feel like the whole school will know by the next day. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. As you can see, my life has had a few problems in it. Past and Present. What’s going on right now? I’m just trying to keep my social life alive and moving on. Who knows what will happen with Gh0stR1der and me one day? I’m just happy that I know him and I can talk to him.
