Love like war

Part 1

(Katie's Pov)

'Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit check please. Cuz I finally found the girl of my dreams. Much more than a Grammy award, that's how much you mean to me.'

I listened as I stared at my bedroom ceiling.

All I have ever dreamed of is having a guy to sing this with, but I don't think that will ever happen.

I'm that one girl that no body knows exists.

I'm quiet, shy, and awkward.

I have dark brown hair that falls a bit below my shoulders, I have the worst green eyes, a huge nose, and chubby cheeks.

I'm about 5 foot 1 with big thighs, and let me tell you, I hate it!

I can look at any girl and pick out what I wish I had. A smaller nose, a thigh gap, pretty hair. But nope, I was one cursed with this appearance.

No guy likes me, and the ones that say they do always treat me like an animal instead of a princess.

My last relationship consisted of me trying to gain the guys attention, but no matter what he still ignored me. Then when I asked him what he would think if I got my belly button pierced he told me it would be disgusting.

I slowly climbed out of bed to walk over to my back pack which was sitting by my door, and grabbed my book out of it.

I sat the book on my bed then walked over to put a movie on. I decided on watching Schindler's list.

I sat down on my bed and opened up the Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Dan Brown is my favorite author, all of his books make you think! There are so many symbols and plot twists, it's amazing!

"Katie!" My mother yelled.

I groaned before shouting back.

"Yes?" I called back but got no reply. "What do you need?" I yelled again.

Again, I got no response.

I grumbled as I got up and unlocked my door before slowly trudging down the hallway to the kitchen where I found my mom smoking a cigarette.

"Yes?" I groaned.

"Don't be snappy at me." My mom snapped.

"I was trying to read so what do you need?" I groaned.

"Can you get me some pop." My mother asked me.

I looked over at the fridge then back to my mother.

"Why can't you? Why did you call me down from my room when you are literally right next to the damn fridge." I grumbled.

"Please?" My mom asked trying to sound cute? Wow...

I sighed and stormed over to the cupboard and grabbed a small cup before walking over to the refrigerator to get my mom some Coke.

"Thank you dear." My mom called as I handed her the drink.

"Yup!" I said simply, storming back in my room.

I turned on the I Tunes radio and skipped through a few songs until I found one that sounded pretty catchy.

I looked at the name and it read 'Love like war- All Time Low'

"Oh!" I said realizing  this is the band that my friends listen to.

I started reading an listened to the song, soon falling in love with the catchy tune.

I heard my phone ding and looked down to see that my friends were awake and talking on our group chat.

I opened up the chat and was met with 37 messages.

'Really guys? Is this all you have to do on the weekend?' I thought to myself as I read all the messages.

After I finished reading all the messages I closed out the messenger app shuffled through my music finally settling on American Idiot by Green Day.

'Don't want to be an American idiot!'

I sang along as I attempted to read my book but eventually gave up on trying to read seeing as I only kept singing instead.

I just want to go to school. I want to be in band class right now.

Out of all my classes, band is my favorite.

I take band very seriously. I have and A+ in band!

Then I have B- in algebra, a C in biology, a C- in history, C in English, and a B in algebra prep. See, I'm in Algebra prep because I'm an idiot and need extra help in math. Unlike all my friends who are either in advanced math or is just the smartest kid in the whole class.

I also like band because I love marching band season! You see, I'm a freshman who decided to join the color guard for marching band. It was the best decision ever made.

I hate being a freshman in the high school. Not only am I the youngest group in the school but when I see a cute guy in the halls, I don't know their names! And God forbid I ask them, I couldn't even say hi without shaking like a leaf.

I'm just ready for Christmas break. I have just been beyond tired lately! And I have been feeling a bit odd, but that probably just a cold from sitting out in the cold and waiting for the bus.

I yawned and decided I was just going to lay down any take a short nap.

Might as well, i do have to wake up at 5 am for damn school.

I shut my eyes and listened as gives you hell came on.

A-n
New story. And it's not a fanfic! Woohoo!! How is it?
