Rosewood was a small town across the city of Ontario. The town
was bustling with people carrying out peaceful life. Schools, markets and small
business thrived around the small town. Weather was extreme with severe hot
summers and freezing winters. Irrespective of the weather, crime free
neighbourhood attracted many immigrants from all over the world. Friendship and
love were easily found in this place. It was a perfect place for Shelly until
she lost her heart to the most popular boy of the town- Jon McGuire.
She wasn’t the member of cheerleading squad. She wasn’t even
a geek. She fell in middle- lost among the crowd. She didn’t belong anywhere.
She had few friends with whom she hung around. She was an invisible teenager.
She tried to fit into crowd. But she failed miserably. She lost interest in all
these until her heart followed Jon. However every girl tried to steal his
attention. He was tall and lean. His atheletic body with smoldering blue grey
eyes attracted girls.
Unfortunately she was mediocre girl with big dreams. She didn’t
have any qualities that would attract attention. She didn’t have ‘Barbie’ like features.
She was tagged as gothic though she didn’t fully believe in that culture. Her
friends had forced her into being member of witchcraft and Gothicism.
Following was better than alienating to her. She wondered
what her friend found cool in it. She hated that she couldn’t wear anyother
colour except black. However she had no choice than accept a faith blindly.
Anyway, it didn’t matter to anyone including Jon. Even if
she wore nothing, people would ignore her.
Nevertheless she wished deep in her
heart that he would look at her once at least and feel the love she had for
him. But that was never going to happen when Jon had attention of Raven- the
prettiest girl of the school.
