THE LIFE OF A TEENAGE GIRL

get used to it, we won’t even be worrying about it.”
“Alright. But! Just in case of anything, come to the bathroom in
ten minutes. You know I always want to check how you and the classes
are.”
“Okay.” She nodded.
Then we separated and went to our classes.
I took a deep breath again. In my class, we had Algebra, and since
I was new here, the teacher wanted me to introduce myself to the class.
No way! I hated that, especially when it had to be in public. It always
made me feel like I was about to have a panic attack. But I tried—and
I did it. I said hello, my name, age, and favorite subject.
“Well, thank you, Gigi. You can sit between those two girls in the
middle,” the teacher said.
When I sat down, the girls started whispering to me.
“I like your name—it’s giving… famous influencer,” the brunette-
looking Latina girl said.
“And I like your outfit,” the blonde girl added.
“Um, thanks. What are your names?” I asked.
“I’m Angelina, but I prefer Ange,” the brunette said.
“And I’m Faye,” the blonde added.
“Nice names,” I nodded.
