Losing Hope In All The Right Places

Chapter 1: Introducing Me

So I'm in the 10th grade now. It's the beginning of April which means it's testing season. I am so not ready for them. Everyone in my family is forcing me to be the girl I'm not and I can't do that if I don't even know the girl I am.

Oh sorry u didn't introduce myself. My name is Valerie Galloway. But my friends call me Val for short. Ik I seem like an average teen age girl with emotional thoughts but I'm not. I'm the type of girl who fantasies about everything from the perfect meet and greet pose with my fav viner and youtubers to fangirling over bands and singers. Some of the stuff I'm going to tell you can be really personal but to be honest I could care less. Because I'm already known as a freak of nature at my school.

It all started back in the beginning of 9th grade. I was just getting for high school and I was trying to do something different with my hair and makeup so I went for bold and started shading in my eyebrow and wearing exciting makeup. And I got my hair curled. Let me say when the lady was done with my hair it had a total of 4 cans of hairspray. I went to school the first day and everything was going fine. My dress was perfect. Me and my friends walked in together like we were gunna conjure the world. We may have been a little dramatic.

Well we were walking in when I spotted HIM!!!!! His name was Edward Hamilton. But I knew him as Eddie. Me and Eddie kinda had a moment the last day of 8th grade in the hallway after school while waiting for our parents to come. So we both stayed after for the drama club end of the year/graduation pizza party. Heres what happened.

We were sitting there on the bench and all of sudden he burped and I said "That was weak" to be honest I don't know what I was thinking. Then I said "I can do better." That is when I knew I messed up. We started to have a burping contest it went on for a good 10 mins. At this point I was like two inches from him. He was holding my hand. As I gazed into those beautiful ocean blue eyes I remember when I first gained a crush on him back in 4th grade. But that's a story for a different day. Anyway there we were when all of a sudden he leaned into me until we were like a inch from each others mouth when all of a sudden he KISSED ME!! I felt the fireworks. We made our for like 5 mins until his brother pulled up and honked the horned. Nearly scaring he pee out of me. Before he left we exchanged numbers. And after that I never saw him until one time at the mall I spotted him at the mall with Madison Ford. Let me tell you she is the biggest bitch I've ever met. And did I mention she's the head cheerleader of the Varsity Cheer Squad this year. Yea. Ik.

Any way back to the Eddie story. I saw him back on the first day of high school and I looked hot if I do say so myself. Then that skank Madison came up to me and split her ice coffee all over me. I was so humiliated. And everyone was laughing at me and taking pictures. Even Eddie laughed. All of 9th grade was kind of a blur for me because I didn't want to be reminded of that year at all. During the summer after 9th I went to this wedding and met a really cute guy his name was Chase. He was sweet kind oh and did I mention a really good kisser. He made me feel so special. Unlike any other guy I've dated and I've only dated like 3 so yea. That summer I iced out all but like 2 of my friends. Lindsay and Brianna but it Bri for short. This year was a rebuilding year for me i mean i had 2 cool friends and a hot ass football captain as a boyfriend and since Eddie and Madison got in trouble for having drugs on campus last year in 9th and got sent to rehab for a couple years I was really cool. I mean my stress was finally done. And I couldn't be happier.

DAMN IT!!!!!!

I had to take my test first thing in the morning which means I couldn't see Chase all day. Because he has testing in the afternoon. Which means I couldn't kiss him till 2pm that's so long. I mean we are still in the honeymoon stage even tho it's been 9 months yesterday since we started dating July 12th is when officially started dating. Even though we met two weeks before that on the 4th. We are taking baby steps. I / he didn't want to get to serious to fast because we didn't want to mess up this relationship. I really think this is the one. This is the guy I want to marry. But I can't think to fast because this I'm only 15 and he's 16. I'll be 16 in like 8 weeks. Which is gunna be amazing because it is the day after school gets out. And me and chase are going to spend the who summer in Los Angeles California with his aunt and uncle at their condo. I'm so happy. This will be our first vacation together and get this his aunt knows Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Brun. (I'm internally screaming rn)
