Hi, my name is Marcie and I just recently turned fifteen a few weeks ago. I’m a sophomore at a new school, and I have one sister who is a sophomore as well, but she goes to college. I moved from the big city of New York to the warm and sunny Huntington Beach, California this past summer because my mom’s job transferred her out here. Being the new kid at a different school can be very stressful at times, everyone already has their group of friends, and I sometimes feel like the outcast. It is only the first week of school but I was hoping at least one person would have talked to me, but no one seems to like new kids. I never had a huge group of friends at my old school, but I did fit in with the few kids I hung out with. My mom just keeps telling me people need to warm up to me and see who I really am, but how are they supposed to see the real me when all they do is ignore me? I’ve tried to spark up a conversation with some of the students but none of them ever seem interested so I just sit quietly in the back of the room and no one seems to notice me. Being the kid that has no friends does have its perks though, like you always have time to do homework and you’re always reading so you seem to find out things you don’t learn in school. I do enjoy reading very much but my passion in life is music. I’ve grown up listening to all kinds of music, you name the genre and I most likely have listened to it before. My favorite style of music would have to be more of the alternative music, you know like the bands that most people haven’t heard of or don’t like. I don’t just listen to the music I also play an instrument, I’ve been playing guitar since I was about 10 and I still love it just as much as when I started. I’m not much of the singing type, I’m a bit tone deaf, the last time I sang in front of people I ran out of the room because when I finished they looked terrified. When
