Out of Reach
an excerpt

As I got off the bus, I thought about how much my view on so many people had changed. Adam, being the main one. Just a few months ago I had thought of him as scary and crazy. Now, he was just misunderstood. It wasn’t just my views of people that had changed either.

I had changed too and along with my feelings on so much stuff. I was older, more mature, and definitely prettier. I took care in my looks but my life still didn’t revolve around it. I thought I was becoming a better friend too. I’m not sure if Cami thinks so or not. I probably should find out. Football still isn’t my favorite sport but I don’t think that all football players are jerks anymore either. Ben changed my opinion on that.

Tonight I am going to the store. I’m really not sure what’s going to happen. Owen hardly ever talks to me and I don’t want him to think of me as annoying. Really though, me thinking that he thought I was annoying is exactly what got me into the this mess. I just wish it was all over already. It probably won’t be over for a while though. Honestly, it may never be over. I don’t think that anyone besides me thinks of it as a mess though. They’re all content to just go with their lives. Of course, that’s not good enough for me. I have to make sure everyone is happy and that everyone knows the truth. I’ve always been like that I guess. If I think someone thinks something that isn’t true, I’ll make sure that they get the real story, no matter what it costs. Maybe that’s why my life isn’t so happy anymore. Maybe, just maybe, I think about what others think of me too much. But that’s just who I am.

I’m Angela May Pierce and this is my story.
