This is a story about a time when nothing meant everything and everything meant nothing. When the world would stop spinning. When time was non-existent.
So, to set the scene...let's go to America, home sweet home. Well, not really. More specifically, Illinois aka: one of the top five fattest states in the country. A little town...Oak Lawn, where hardly anything wrong could happen. Where gangs were ignored...tragic weather events were easily fixed and broken teenagers were put to work.
Now about me...lemme get in front of a mirror…okay. Fourteen’s my age and Danny’s my name. NO! I’m not a boy. Features? Short dark-brown hair overlapping my right eye. I know…emo much? Small almond coloured eyes, thin lips, and a button nose. So, I’ve always seen myself fat, so deal with it. I’m pretty developed…I think. I’m short...5’1 to be exact. I have always had an extremely low self-esteem, so anything (even if you’re joking) gets taken very seriously. I’ve always been told what a beauty I am, but you know what? I really don’t see any beauty here. My style is pretty much ‘emo’ or whatever THAT means now a days. My make-up is basically ‘emo’ too. Lot’s of eyeliner and a TON of cover-up to hide my fugly freckles. That’s just about it though…otherwise I’m not really into the whole make-up thing.
Okay! Now that we’re just about finished with me…let’s travel down to a place that practically hates me-Whitney High School. A place infested with roaches and mice. A place where cliques rule the school. A place where EVERYONE judges you for looking like you. A bad place to grow up really, but yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only teenager with these problems.
My friends…aren’t really considered (to me) to be my friends. I mean they’re practically all bitches. Let’s see…I’ve got…Rob, Jason, Jenn, Anne, Isabell, Amy, Regina, and probably a few more I can’t think of. Here’s the thing: they are ALL fat, ugly, and pimple-faced. Why? I know it seems very low, but like I said, I have an EXTREMELY low self-esteem. Oh! I almost forgot my friend Catty! She’s as thin as toothpick (maybe thinner) but she had ‘junk in the trunk and blobs of mounded fat’ (boobs). I had always been jealous of her beauty. You might even say I hated her because of it. She would always get guys not just any guys either…the guys I had it in for. So yeah…let’s start from the beginning…
