One New Follower Request (a Connor franta fanfic)

Chapter 1

I'm Amy and today is March 1st 2013 and I'm going to school jut like every other day sitting alone at lunch getting detention for not doing what I'm supposed to be doing like actually trying. I mean I would try but for what so I can get teased for that too, being a geek on top of everything else I get called already.

It's not like trying is going to get me anywhere like I'm not going to get any type of nice comments or good opportunities.So school does literally nothing for me.

The one friend I had moved away so what am I even doing here, waking up early everyday to get teased.

It's been that way since I started school and it hasn't gotten any better but whatever.

I'm sitting here thinking what am I doing with my life ? Literally nothing !

I mean I used to be smart but ..I just gave up. Gave up on everything.

"Look it's that one girl who always sits alone." I hear someone whisper and giggle.

"Ha I hear she has all F's, I'm surprised she hasn't flunked she's so stupid." I hear another.

Honestly where does it end I don't understand.

After a long boring day at school I go home and I sit and think which never helps because I always end up crying.

Why is life so horrible. Why do I have to be bullied. Why can't I just have any friends. Is it ever going to get better.

I'm so tired of all of it. And I find myself doing that day in and day out whether I'm at school or at home.

"Amy come down for dinner honey" I hear my mom yell as I come out of my thoughts. I get up and wipe my tears and go downstairs to eat.

My mom tries to make small talk while we eat. "Hey Amy how was-"

I cut her off "school is horrible just like yesterday and the day before that."

"I'm sorry sweetheart I didn't mean to" she adds.

"It's alright mom." And I end the conversation with that.

As I kept eating in silence, I thought well maybe if I do something else other than thinking. So I decided maybe I should watch YouTube videos. And I click on random video and watch them.

I continue to watch YouTubers for the next few months and I'm so obsessed with Connor he makes me laugh. He inspires me.

And as the days and weeks go by I start trying more, And I stopped thinking so much without even realizing it.

I started to try in school and I saw my grades going from F's to C's to B's. I started hearing less people criticize me.

I was happy. I was genuinely happy for once in my life. Wow that was very hard to believe.

As I continued to watch Connors videos I became more social.

I soon made new friends.

One day while I was walking to my locker I over heard some girls talking and they were saying something about Connor and I freaked.

Internally of course.

As she leaves to walk away from her Friends I close my locker, grab my backpack from the ground and walk up to her.

"hey, I heard you talking to those other girls, and so um you like Connor" I said kind of stumbling on my words trying to say it as if I wasn't ease dropping on their conversation "I don't mean to, you know, listen to your conversation but, um I just, um, I really like Connor too that's all" I go on.

"oh wow that's great. My friends don't really watch YouTube so it's fine. I kind of wish I had a friend like you." She replies to me with a huge smile on her face. And continues to say "by the way my name is Maddy what's your name ? and you should hang out with me at lunch sometime."

"Oh really you want me to hang out with you, oh cool, oh and my name is Amy" I say in amazement

"Yeah sure why not you seem cool Amy!" Maddy said to me with a smile and finished with "I gotta get to class but I'll talk to you later" and she turns and walks away.

YESS i thought to myself I actually said something to her she actually liked me she actually asked me to hang out with her at lunch omg !!

I was so happy that when I got home I marked that day on my calendar . June 3rd 2013.

My mom turns and sees how happy I am and I smile at her. "You seem happy Amy that's great what happened"

"Well I met this girl her name is Maddy and she told me to hang out with her and I'm so happy because I actually had the courage to talk to someone and it turned out good." I told her, I was kind of rushing through my words though.

She smiles really big and said "that's amazing" as if she really caught all of that.

"Anyways," I start "I'm gonna go upstairs and be on my phone or laptop or something" and I turn and walk upstairs.

"Okay" I hear my mom say in a sigh of relief as I turn to walk away.

0h how much as changed in 3 months since I started watching Connor I thought!

I thought and thought about how much of an inspiration Connor was to me and how much he'd change my perspective on life and what good has come out since I started watching him. Oh the good thoughts.

I wondered about how 3 months ago I would've been crying on my bed thinking of how people put me down.

My life is so different now. I'm not giving up. I'm actually happy. All because of Connor. I couldn't believe it all. It was a dream !
