Diary of a Pointed Heart

Chapter 1: 

Sea green and Periwinkle

   Ugh today is the first day back in school, 10th grade to be exact I am back with my Best Friend in the whole world Hayden (it’s a girl). She is very flirtatious. I am the shy one but Hayden, on the other hand, is wild. We have been friends for like 12 years. She has always been outgoing and speaks her mind. She is the glue to our friendship no matter what happens. She always sticks up for what is right (well what she thinks is right.) Anyways she is an amazing person. Right now I am going through a bumpy phase with my boyfriend, we have been arguing lately for the past few weeks. By the way my name is Sandra.

   “HEY SANDRA!”

“Jesus Hayden you almost gave me a heart attack!”

“Well serve you right not answering my calls last night.”

“Sorry Hayden, I was super busy with…”

“Ballet Rehearsal” We both say at the same time

“I know Sandra.”

“Honestly, I am really sorry.”

“It’s fine. So how’s the boyfriend?”

“Oh you know the same old thing. Daniel blaming me for shit I didn’t do.” Rolling my eyes.

“Yeah I talked to him last night.”

“Oh what did he say?”

“...uh..that...um…”

“What Hayden?”

She is biting her hair which means she is nervous.

“Well you see he told me that he wants to….”

She stops mid-sentence looking at something or maybe even someone..

“What are you looking at?”

“Oh it's nothing, just turn around and look at the beautiful site.” I know she’s hiding something.

“Stop Hayden, let me see….”

IT’S DANIEL KISSING HEATHER CARDONE!

I storm my way over there.

“What the hell Daniel!!”

“Oh god Sandra I didn’t mean for you to find out like this.”

“Then how did you mean for me to find out?”

“Not like this for sure”

“After everything I have done for you?” 

“Except for putting out”

I swung my hand and knocked him right in the face, his nose broke and he started bleeding. I turned around crying and ran under the bleachers. My best friend on the other hand had a different Idea in mind.

“Fuck you heather!” and right after that I hear “Fight fight fight!”

I run back and see Hayden on top of the girl, rocking her shit.

“Heather, stop!” I yell.

She turns around.

“Why? This girl needs a good ass whooping!”

“It’s not her fault dude it's Daniel's fault for being such a little bitch that he couldn’t tell me and be honest with me. So let her go”

“But..”

“Let the girl go...Now!”

“Ugh fine.” She then turns to Heather “You’re one lucky bitch!”

I mean Hayden has always been overprotective of me. She is like a second mom.

“You didn’t have to do that for me Hayden, I can fight my own battles.”

“Sure you can Sand, sure you can.”

“I am being serious.”

“Okay fine, anyways let's get to class before we are late.”

“Alright.” Hayden is also very bossy as you can see.

Later on in class..

“Omg Sandra, did you hear we are having a new student in class?” 

“No. Boy or Girl?”

“Boyyy”

“Oooo sis you might get a new boo”

“Ha! Never, I am a rolling stone”

“Oh yeah I almost forgot haha”

“Sandra, Hayden, quiet down!”

“Yes ma’am.” we answer in unison. We both then giggle.

“Alright class as you all may know we will be having a new student in class today. I want you all to be on your best behavior.”

“Yes Mrs. Higgens”

“ok, come on in Parker.”

“This is our new student, Parker Alexander. Would you like to introduce yourself, Parker?”

“Uh yeah. Hey everyone My name is Parker, as you all know. I moved here at the beginning of this year and now I go here.”

“Omg Sandra look he is staring at you”

“So?”

“What do you mean? He is a beautiful beast.”

“Yeah well I don’t really care”

I can’t really think about other guys right now. I just broke up with my ex and I don’t feel like being played again.

After class..

“Hey Sand, you want me to come home with you?”

“No, I think I just need some alone time.”

“Oh okay well message me when you get home i'm going out with Kailey.”

“Oh you guys are still going out?”

“Yeah surprising isn’t it?”

“Yeah you don’t go out with anyone if it’s more than 2 weeks.”

“Yeah well I think there is something different with her.”

“Okay well make sure you don’t get hurt Hay.”

“You don’t have to worry, cause you know I'm the one who does the hurting.” After she says that she winked and walked away.

How did we become friends? I don't know, but I love her..

On the walk from school..

OMG I am literally so tired like why is the walk so long I literally just stopped and sat under this cherry tree by a park to write in my diary and get some shade. Ugh the new kid just approached and started to talk to me. He just ruined my peace and quiet. I was having such a fun time listening to my french music and writing. He is still talking, might as well answer him.

“What?”

“Oh you had your earbuds in?”

“Uh yeah I usually like listening to music by myself. Anyways, how can I help you?”

“Oh I just wanted to introduce myself.”

“Didn’t you already do that in class?”

“Uh yeah but that’s no way to make friends now”

“Your right. Well my name is Sandra.”

“Nice to meet you Sandra. You have really pretty hair by the way; did you dye it that color?”

“No, I am a natural Periwinkle.”

“Thats amazing and your hair is so long and looks soft.”

“Uh thanks. Weird compliment but thanks.”

“Yeah haha, But uh I was wondering if you can show me around this town?”

“Can’t sorry I have ballet practice later.”

“Oh you do ballet? Are you any good?”

“I like to think I am.”

“Can I tag along?”

“Why?”

“Well my parents want me to make new friends in this town because they didn’t want me to be alone while they are busy like all the time.”

“But why do you have to come with me?”

“Because you seemed nice. Pleeeeeease?” He then gives me these soulful sad eyes and I couldn’t help it.

“Ugh okay fine but don’t be talking a lot I need to focus on my solo.”

“Awesome! Yes of course I wouldn't want to disturb your peace.”

“Thanks.”

After like 2 minutes of quietness he then taps me on my shoulder.

“Hey sorry to bother you but is there like a football team at our school?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“I was thinking of trying out. Gotta put these muscles to use.”

“Haha okay. Is that all?”

“Yes ma’am”

“Okay, then quiet times start again now.”

At the ballet studio…

“We are here.”

“Ohhh this is a nice place.”

“Yeah. Uh do you wanna come in?”

“Oh, am I allowed to?”

“Yeah of course you are.”

“Oh okay great!”

“Hi Mrs. Bianchi.”

“Oh ciao Sandra, guardati bella come sempre.” Translation: Oh hello Sandra, look at you, beautiful as always.

“Aw grazie.”

“E chi è questo bel ragazzo con te?”

“Oh this is Parker, my classmate, Parker this is my ballet teacher Mrs. Bianchi. Say Hi parker.”

“Ciao signora Bianchi è così bello conoscerla.”

I turn and look at him in surprise. “You know how to speak Italian?”

“Yeah, I know how to speak multiple languages haha.”

“That's cool”

“Wonderful, wonderful. Now Sandra, have you been studying your solo piece?”

“Yes ma’am, would you like me to show you now?”

“Yes of course.”

I put all my stuff down and put on my pointe shoes. These things are so uncomfortable but I love them and love dancing in them. It is so much fun. I step onto the floor and wait for my music to turn on then I start with arabesque and then I start my dance. About 30 minutes have passed and I am finished with my solo and then my teacher gets up and says. 

“Wow, Sandra, that was amazing! Your jumps could use a little work but other than that. Strabiliante!”

“Omg thank you. I worked so hard on this piece and I am so happy you love it!”

“Yeah Sandra, that was amazing.”

I turn and look at Parker. I started to smile and started blushing because I was so happy he liked it because whenever Daniel would come to my practices he would usually be on his phone and ignore me and brush me off when I would ask him what he thought.

“Thank you, Parker.”

After that, he walked me home and I actually talked to him. He is funny like really funny and when he dropped me off at my door I almost fell off the steps but he caught me and helped me up. He smelled like warm vanilla and his hands were so soft. His eyes were sea green and His smile was so welcoming. NO SANDRA! You JUST met him ugh and you JUST broke up with your boyfriend. I'm just going to go to bed. I'm tired like hell and need my beauty sleep. Good night.
