Welcome everyone!

I have finally decided to write a story. It's going to take a long while to write each chapter since they will be long. I'm sorry, but that's the way I write. Anyway, this account belong to me, Tiffany. Feel free to leave comments and such. To tell you the truth, I have no clue how long this story would be. But I'm hoping it will continue..The original story could be found on my story site that I just created: DisguisedVoice

Trapped in Her Fears - Based on a True Story
Written by: Me :] (Seremela_Culnamo)

Chapter 1: Escaping from the past
                It was a new beginning; a new start - but back at the same old place. Looking at the brown building, she smiled. Three long years have been spent here. Many good memories with those she truly cared for and that was all that mattered now. It was her final year before they all separate and went their own ways. Most importantly, it was the year - the year before she ditched this town for good. She was willing to let go of everything and only cling onto those she loved. Taking a deep breath, she let the warm summer breeze fill her lungs. She would be missing it, for fall was soon to come.
                Karla inhaled and exhaled deeply for the next long while, as she allowed herself to be carried away back to the past. Everything seemed to hit her like a huge tidal wave. There was so many things that she regretted and she was determined never to repeat them again. Most importantly, the phrase she went through throughout the past two months, where she promised herself to never fall in love again. She knew what it could do to her when it gets to her head. But she was over, over it all. Taking one more deep breath, she entered the school.

                It was nice to see everyone's cheerful face as they greeted one another - they all acted as though they haven't been in contact for years. Deep down, Karla wanted to join in the gathering, but something held her back. Quickly, she walked by the different groups of friends she had. Nobody seemed to notice her so she knew she was safe, as she made a beeline for her homeroom.
                Waiting outside, Karla turned up the volume on her MP3. She was determined to block out all the cheerful voices coming from those she knew. She knew she wasn't wanted for nobody even took notice of her as she waited quietly by the locked door, leaning back on the lockers, hoping she would find one of her best friends soon.
                Turning around, she was surprised to find a figure standing next to her. Blushing, she quickly turned around and pretended she didn't take notice of him. But before she could let her mind wander once again, she was interrupted by one of her best friends, Minka.

                No sooner or later, the teacher arrived. Karla looked at Minka and made a disgusted face as she gestured towards the teacher with her eyes. All she returned from her dear friend was a weak smile, who felt exactly the same way. Another year of high school and to start the first day off was a period spent with one of the worst teachers. Karla had no clue what was running through Minka's mind as they made their way into the classroom, but she knew it couldn't be worse than her own thoughts. Thoughts that made her cringe and frown. She was totally not looking forward to homeroom everyday.

                Classes began and after the announcements, the chit-chattering around the class came to an abrupt stop as the teacher took down the attendance. Knowing that she should pay attention in case the teacher would question her when he got to his name, Karla couldn't help but let her eyes wander around the classroom.
                She was surprised to see so many people she once knew. People she used to be friends, but they are only on classmate terms with her now. While for the rest? Students she has never seen in her life or was in her previous classes, but never plucked up the courage to approach them and get to know him/her.
                Her eyes zoomed around the class until they fell upon the figure. It was the same body of the boy who stood next to her outside in the hall. Karla never had a chance to get to know him and she knew it was her own fault. She had so many opportunities in the previous year, but she never bothered getting to know him. Cody was his name.

                'Cody..Cody who?' ran through Karla's mind. Then she remembered. Cody what's-his-face - he was the dude who she saw almost everyday in the past. Just last year, he was one of her locker neighbours that were stationed approximately three doors down. 'What else?' He was in her first period class of semester one, but she didn't recall him in her class. 'Probably he dropped?' But for one thing, Karla knew for the fact that he was in her chemistry class. Biting down on her tongue, she knew why she never approached him. She was afraid, afraid of making a fool of herself. There he was, sitting by himself in chemistry everyday to the side of the class, away from everyone. He was the quiet one, but one of the smartest one in the course. Or so it seemed to her.
                Karla shook her head slightly as she remembered the fun she had in the course, despite the distraction that he always created. It wasn't his fault that she was too shy to even simply say 'hi' to him back then. But she did recall the numerous amounts of times she would take sneak peeks at him. Although she usually only saw the left profile of his face or his back, she couldn't stop the little butterflies that was in her stomach. He was just too darn cute and that's what truly kept her from approaching him. She didn't want to make herself seem like a fool either. After all, he had already caught her attention and that was bad enough. Twisting her body back to face the front of the room, she began paying attention. She mustn't…she mustn't fall for another guy ever again.

So what do you think about it? There's going to be more drama and believe me, it will. & it is based on a true story. Heh.
