A little girl afraid of the mirror because she doesn't want to see that scary girl again.
I've been afraid to really look at myself in the mirror ever since I was in grade 4. My life isn't as great as you would think.
------------------------------------------
9 years old, you wouldn't think that a 9 year old could feel like crap but the truth is . . . I did.
Umm... Hi umm... m-my name i-is Alexa but my friends c-call me Lex. I live in Canada. I'm in grade 7 but, if you were to look at me you would think that I'm in high school. My life is hard but I'm coping.
So, it all started in grade 4. I had just move to a new school and everyone was nice to me made me feel wanted. But, everything changed when I told my friend about my crush... His name was Johnny ( The most popular boy in school. That school only went to grade 6) He was my best friend and I trusted him with life. I thought
he felt the same as me. Well I told my "best friend" that I liked him and well she told him and he asked me out. We walked home together that day and I felt "safe" so when we got to my house I took a big leap of faith and gave him a hug he wasn't expecting it but he hugged me back. I thought to myself as soon as I got to my room "EEK!! My first hug from a boy other then family!!! I think I love him." (Mind that I was the weirdest kid ever in my opinion) Well we would walk home everyday for the next week. But I got a shocking surprise when I got to school on the Monday .... I got dirty looks from all the guys and all the girls.
One of my friends came to me and told me what happened. Well it turns out Johnny had gone around telling everyone how I'm "touchy" and how I tryed to kiss him. My life was over. *BOOM* I'm dead. He ended up breaking up with me when the bell rang (We are in the same damn class?!? Really?!?)
My life was all hell after that day. I got all the wrong attention. Stared hanging aroung with the "wrong people" in the school. My grades droped a little bit but I managed to get them back to my average. I never knew what to do with myself for the rest of the year.
