Life in the Big City

Living in this crazy big city is sometimes hard with all the craziness happening especially with the olympics coming up here in London. The fashion, food and people are wonderful here sometimes I think that I'm in a dream, but I'm only living here for the semester so I can study abroad and just have a new experience in a different country with different people. High School is still the same with all the drama, lies and people here it seems like no matter what country you go to it still follows you around your whole life. I thought coming here would just let me get my mind off things back in the United States but I was wrong, girls are still drama queens and just crazy for example this girl named Penelope who is the "princess" or "queen" in this school, everyone wants to be her friend. She is always with her best friends Stacey, Victoria and Mary Beth. One day I was walking to my friends and Penelope asked me to join her and started to ask me questions about the United States and I felt a little confused as to why she was talking to me, after school she asked me to go shopping with her so I did, London is a good place to go shopping with all the designers and uniqueness of clothing than back home in the States. The next few weeks I felt like I hung out with Penelope a little to much and started to act like her for example making fun of people, ditching class and making rumors up, I just ended up losing all my friends that I had made. Penelope one day betrayed me and made up all these rumors about me and I was just emotionally a wreck that I sometimes didn't know what to do, in the end I decided to do what was right so I went up in front of the whole school and apologized for whatever I had said or done to everyone then Penelope, Stacey and Victoria came up and also felt the need to say something so they to apologized and wanted everyone to become friends and not hate, be jealous, lie and betray one another. I think that me coming to the school really helped
