I don’t know why it’s embarrassing, but I used to write on Wattpad and before you ask, I did not write those smutty erotic novels. You naughty naughty human, haha.

But, no. I didn’t write those. Instead, I journaled my life as an introvert and one of the chapters was my first day of junior year. Revisiting this was so hilarious, but refreshing and I wanted to share what was going through the mind of sixteen-year-old me.

These first two days of school have drained me. Physically and mentally. I’m am so tired but I’m not going to sleep because I can’t if I tried. I’m weird like that.

So, the first day of school. A new start. A new clean slate. New everything! Wrong, the only thing new is the classes, I see the same faces from last year. I feel like a two-month break wasn’t enough for summer.

I see familiar faces everywhere. Fake friends coming into my life again only to tear out again but you know what? I’m not going to let it happen. I’m going to pull away before anything else.

Surprisingly, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone more this year. I greeted people when I sat next to them in class. Made small talk, which I hated.
