The feeling when your on top and your the most popular girl in school. That girl was me. I had everything. Though I wasn't as rich as my friends, I was still accepted. Best part, nobody was bullied. Shocking....right? Harmony between popular and non-popular. It was a fantasy. My point exactly. A fantasy... It ended eventually...... this is my story.......
Chapter 1: well that escalated quickly
Im Raevehn Conti. Im the girl that everyone wants to be. My close friends- Graye Havely, Amber Morte, Kaylee Devio and Sierah Pondeas were the whole cheerleading squad.
"Rae did you see what Amber was wearing to the mall yesterday??!! She totally looked awesome in it." Graye said. Same old routine everyday.
But slowly the team started being bossy and judgmental of everything. Since I wasnt in the pep squad Graye and the team had a talk with me.
"Raevehn.... Look your just not popular enough to stay with us.... Okay?" Graye said straight forwardly. I replied with a nervous laugh "What do you mean? I was the one that made you popular. Without me you wouldnt even be known!" My temper was starting to rise. Amber stepped up and replied " Rae, just stay away! Okay?" From then on nobody talked to me. I sat at lunch alone... Walking down the halls of Lincoln University alone and all avoiding everyone. Worst part Graye became obsessive of popularity. The whole pep squad wore slutty outfits everyday. I hated everything. Well that escalated quickly i thought.
Chapter 2: running away..... From EVERYTHING
My parents always compared me to my "oh so amazing sister(note the sarcasm)" Correah Kohrahl Conti. My sister the 13 years old, new teenager. The Honor Student. The one who competed in the inter school math competition and won. The athlete who is the record holder for our city. My sister and I are "track n'fielders" as I call us. My sister always gets the gold. ALWAYS. Me? I would be lucky to get a silver. I'm not a fast runner. I would love to do rhythmic gymnastics though. But nooo....' It's a waste of time' they said. At home I would always get scolded at. But I just let it ALL slide.
I come home from school rushing to my parents room to tell them that I got the 2nd highest grade for our calculus class. "Mom!! Mom!! Guess what?!! I ranked 2nd in our calculus class!!" My mom looked at me. My mother was pretty. I'd tell you that. Though she got chubby... If my mother lost a few pounds we would be the same size. Im taller than my mother. I'm a 5'7 while my mother is just a 5'4. "Why didn't you top the class? Hmm Raevehn?" I looked down and said "I tried my best. I really did!" My mother sighed and said "Maybe it's because your getting distracted because of your friends..." My mother trailed off. "If I had friends..." I mumble. My mother seemed to have caught it and said "What was that?"
So I finally decided to run away. My family didn't even to bother to find me. I was alone in the world. I went to the mall to clear my mind. Im a bit of a shopaholic. I was zoning out when I accidentally bumped into someone and papers went flying everywhere. Oh!! Im so so so sorry!! I didn't mean to hit you." I tried to pick up the papers. When I saw what was on the papers I couldnt even speak. I looked up and saw Leyarah Fiontiega. The worlds greatest and richest fashion designer in the world. "Darling, its fine. No harm done," she replied. "Whats your name?" she asked me. "Raevehn.... Ma'am" I pray I didnt stutter. "Well Raevehn, thank you so much for the help but I really must go. Goodbye. And it was nice meeting you," Leyarah said and walked hurriedly away. I sighed, "I wish she could be my mother." I checked my watch and it was already 5 in the afternoon and I was really hungry. So I hit McDonald's and just bought a sunday. Cause thats all my money can buy. After walking around I noticed something, "Oh no!!!! Leyarah left her designs. I'll just drop it off at her house" she lives at the mansion in River view village. Checking the time again. Realizing it was almost 6 I started walking, then jogging and then I just started running. I didn't know why I just did. I finally reached the Fiontiega Mansion.
Ringing the bell a voice came " who are you?" "Im Raevehn. Leyarah knows me. She and I met today" i said. The gates slide open and I just waltzed in. I finally came to a big grand wooden door. I walked in and found Leyarah sitting on the couch. "Raevehn what are you doing here?" She asked. " You left these. I think they're important." I said. Leyarah looked a bit surprised then smiled "Thank you so much Raevehn. Why not stay for dinner. Just let me talk to your mother so she would know where you are." I stiffend a bit and I finally mustered up courage and said "I....I ran a-away....."
Chapter 2: New Mother
Leyarah just stared at me for a while. Then she started to frown and spoke up. "Oh!! Heavens to betsy!! Why?" I fiddled with my hands for sometime.
"Uhmm...... M--my life hasn't been so.... How should I say this.....good?"
"I was always compared to Correah. My friends became diva's and ,excuse my foul language, sluts. I guess the world turned on me. So I thought now would be the best time to escape. When spring break starts. I don't know what's going to happen when spring break ends. All I know is that I can't go home." I finish my speech and I look down on the beautiful marble floor.
