The Guard’s Daughter

Public high school

I know I complained about my rich snob school but can I just say my new school is wild. Josh has been showing me around a lot both at school and around town. At school he’s popular, the quarterback of the football team. People tolerate me because he’s hanging out with me. One cheerleader in particular seems extremely bothered by this.

Turns out the head cheerleader Cynthia is Josh’s ex girlfriend. His very recent ex. She glares at me constantly like I stole her man. Josh and I are just friends. I’m still heartbroken over Gio. My focus is on school.

My favorite thing about my new school is no uniforms. I’m wearing jeans and a comfortable top. Josh has been driving me to school and home since I don’t have a car but I know I need to fix that. The plan is today after practice he’s going to take me to look at cars.

I’ve had my license this whole time but never drove much since it made sense for Valentina and I to ride to school together. I probably would’ve driven myself if Gio hadn’t been the driver.

Aunt Annette hasn’t had much to do with me. She’s not home very much. When she is it seems as though she just smokes cigarettes and complains.
