I woke up and it was so dark out. Like really dark. I look at my alarm clock and see its 4:00 AM. Perfect. No, not like sarcasm, it's truly perfect. I woke up 1 hour earlier than the time I set on my alarm clock, but that means more practice for me. I wake up and change into my training clothes. I start simple. don't want to but my back ya know. 100 Push-ups. Not my normal 125, but hey, doesn't matter to me. By the time I'm done. I hardly worked up a sweat. So, I go on to my Dumbbells. I only have a 20 pound one, but it will do. Once, my arm gets sore it's 6:00, so it's time to go downstairs and get myself some breakfast after some hard work. I ate and even watched my FAVORITE show, but it was only 6:23. The morning is going by so slow... I wish I was like Twilight Sparkle, then I could do a... um..er.. magic spell to speed things up! Yeah! But I'm not. This sucks. On the bright side, I'm more like Rainbow Dash. I'm athletic, SUPER fast, and Awesome
Today I have a wrestling tournament in finals. Finals. That's right. Finals. How amazing am I? I'm not one bit nervous, everyone says I should be, since I'm going up against Ethan Melman. I don't know how everybody else but me has heard of him. My best friend, Zedda
Rose, said she'll tell me at school. When I'm done with thinking about this Ethan kid, it's about 6:40. I go to school at 7:50, so I have 1 hour and ten minutes. I decide to write in my journal, NOT a diary. Diaries are for mamby pamby princess.
1/26/2014. Today is the day of the wrestling tournament. I'm going against Ethan WhatsHisFace. I don't care for the name, I care for winning! I don't know if I should be worried or not, everyone says I should, but I don't think so. This is the dude who gives everyone who goes up against him a concussion. That's the only thing I know about him. Maybe that's what Zedda's going to tell me? I hear things around the school, so I know in advance. I got to go! Booooored.
I have no idea how to pass the time by. So I just draw pictures of me as a pony, and Rainbow Dash. Us, standing side-by-side on the first place spot holding a huge, golden trophy. What did we win? I don't know, awesomeness contest? Sure! Between the drawing and coloring, it's 7:30. I start walking to school, thinking how amazing a Pinkie Party would be right now, with her party cannon.
I go to homeroom, and I'm met by Zedda. "Oh hey! So, about Ethan..." I already know, so I might as well cut her off. "Yeah yeah, concussions to everyone he wrestles. Yadda yadda yadda, okay?" She made a face. "Oh fine! But I heard, that it's the kind on concussion that is 'this' close to making it like, brain splitting." She knows nothing about medical terms. Well, neither do I. But... Brain splitting? Can that happen? I wish I would've read the health and safety manual before joining. "Zed, brains can't split...Can they?" I start breaking into a sweat. Maybe brains can or can not split, but this sounds really bad! I'm not nervous. No, I'm not nervous. Maybe a little. I think this over. How can I avoid this match? No, the Gemma Greenwood I know wouldn't back out. Unless I'm not her! Yeah! I'm... I'm... Doomed. I am doomed. Zedda waves a hand in front of my face. "Hello? Is Gemma in there?" I blink a few times. I'm a bi uneasy. "Uh, I'm going to ask if I can go to the nurses office..." "W-why? Gem!" I ignore he grabbing my shoulder. Here comes my breakfast, making it's return...
The Magical Wishing well of the Toilet
It didn't taste as good as it did going up than it did going down. I got taken to the nurses office, yes. "Ughh man. That was a bru-" I held my mouth shut. I don't want any returns on that meal. "Sweetie, don't talk or else you might regurgitate once more. Would you like some water, or some Pepto-Bismol?" I shake my head, hand still cupped over my mouth. "Okay. If you need anything let me know. But, would you like to stay here and rest for 10-15 minutes or go home? "Go ho- I mean, no, I'll stay and rest for a bit if it's okay." Why did I want to go home? Why did I want to stay? "Oh dear, its perfectly fine. I'll alert the teachers. You sit tight. Oh, before I go though, Ethan Melman came early. He decided he wanted to speak with you beforehand to get to know you better. More like to see how easy it will be to split my brain! My stomach went in my shoes, and my heart to where my stomach would be located at if it wasn't inside my shoes right now. "G-great. When do I get to m-meet the guy?" I look around nervously for an exit. Just then, as on timing, Ethan walked in.
"Hey. Would it be okay for me to see you even if you are a bit uneasy?" Ethan has the voice on an angel. He also has the face of one. He- it's like- Wow... Melman is hot! I sit up, trying to act natural. "Totally dude. Have a seat on the bed." He has dark brown hair, that falls just over his eyes so he has to either sweep or blow his hair away every now and then. The eyes on than man! They're an emerald green, but the closer you get to the pupil, they seem to fade to an almost yellower color. So uniquely adorable! He's wearing an purple tank top, and you can see his muscles. Not bad... "Uh um... So are you feeling better? I hope so. I mean your to precious looking- I mean pretty!... no!...I mean nice! Ugh I-" I blush- all wide eyed. "Um it's... it's cool bro. Alright?" I held up a fist for him to fist bump. He hesitated, but did eventually. Am I pretty looking? I look at the mirror across the room. I see a ugly girl and a boy staring at her. Why? I am nothing. I'm nothing but ugly, that is. He is flattering me, to get me to go easy on him. I don't get it... why must boys be so hard to understand? And why am I not interested? I look at the body-length-mirror across the room to look closer at myself. Jet black colored hair, with a tint of red velvet from when I dyed it. Hazel eyes. Beauty mark on the bottom left of my jaw. Small amount of freckles. Letter jacket with Aqua skinny jeans. Boring.
I sniffle. If I am, he will be the snake. I will be the snake-charmer. Let me charm. "Well," The nurse does a quick glance at me. "I think your not to bad yourself, Melman... No need to stutter or feel embarrassed." I look him in the eye and bite my lip. I stood up and alerted then nurse I will be going back to class. Ethan got up and stopped me. The snake has been charmed. "Uh... Gemma. I think you look pretty, but I'm just complimenting you. I'm dating someone, actually. Her name is Emily... Sorry..." I froze. I just made a total fool of myself! I can hear the freaking nurse
