It was a dark and foggy after noon. The sky was darkening slowly as I walked down times square. I was quietly walking as the city passed me by. I was almost home as I stumbled across an empty alley. Out of that alley, a man in a rabbit suit came charging at me full force. He pushed me to the ground then lied down, and appeared to be starting to fall asleep took a nap.
“Excuse me sir!” I shouted at the sleeping rabbit.
“Hasn’t you mother ever taught you to NOT bother a sleeping rabbit?” asked the man in the suit
“May I ask why you just attacked me out of the clear blue” I asked curiously.
“ its uh.. nothing.” Said the man.
“I uh thought you were someone” the man said nervously.
“Well I have every right to call the police on you” I said furious with anger.
The man immediately got up from his nap and sprinted. He kept going, and going, and going until he did not appear in sight anymore. 2 miles later, I found him sitting on a curb watching the sunset. As soon as he saw me, the man in the bunny suit desperately tried to hail a cab. The cab came speeding up to the curb, the bunny jumped in, and then they sped away. From that day on, I never saw this man again in my life.
I bet if this happened to you, would freak out, call the police right away, and be terrified. But honestly, I am not scared or frightened in any way. Just a bit confused. Things happening like this, do not surprise me one bit. I just think “Wow, this would happen to me” and then move on. I do not go out and tell everyone my story, because this event was quite normal for my life. Just another day.
So that night, I continued to walk home, get in my house, and go to bed. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.

My Life
People say that there is a match out there for everyone. The perfect mate. But whatever happens to the old ladies that sit at home with their 5 cats all day? People say love is a magical thing, if it’s so magical, why do so many people get divorces? Love doesn’t exist. It’s all fake. Well that’s what I thought, until I met him.
Since I’m from California, you would expect me to look like all the other girls. Hair that is bleached out by the sun, every inch of their body tanned, and don’t forget the waist of a twig. Yeah well that is definitely not me. I am a tall, awkward, curvy, curly haired Italian. I have super dark brown curly hair that I hate. And hips that are a size of a school bus.
Ok well enough about me, I should probably get to the story. It all started on the first day of high school, freshman year. This is when all the freshman girls get boyfriends because they are introduced to 3 new grades of boys. This is also when you lose about half of your friends because they’re either spending time with their boyfriend, or they found friends that do their sport. Now all of my old friends hang around with their teams and go on dates with their boyfriend. Well I shouldn’t say they forgot about me because I still get a “hi” in the hallway once in a while. But the point is, everyone has moved on,, besides me.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m some loser who is a loner wandering the hallways alone. I have one best friend who stayed with me throughout elementary school and middle school and surprisingly stayed with me when we started high school. Her name is Emily Koplien. She is my next door neighbor and we have been friends since we were two. She has straight dark brown hair and a tiny figure. She is an adventurous one. She always wants to have fun, even though if it means breaking the rules. By doing these things, she managed to break her arm twice and crack her head open. She cracked her head open from crawling under a table that was blocking off a hallway at the school dance, and then broke her arm from attempting to do 3 flips on our neighbors trampoline and getting in a fight with her enemy in gym class. Yup that’s Emily, and I love her, and we’ve had many adventures together. For an example, trying to get in the animals cages in the zoo, catching turtles and toads in the local pond and breeding them, climbing trees and trying to make forts that failed, and spending over 200 dollars on the local fair. Yup, we are best friends and we always will be.
Ok, so if was the first day of school. I stumble around the hallways trying to find my classes in this huge school. Where’s Emily? We have to compare schedules. As I am looking for her, I see something better instead, Tony. I’ve heard about this guy, he is a legend. All of the girls drool over him. He is the hottest thing to walk the planet. He had dark brown flippy hair and dark blue eyes. And has great muscles. Now I see why all of the girls obsess over him. Oh no, as I turn the corner I see Emily charging at me with her schedule waving wildly in her hand.”No Emily.” I tried to mouth. But as usual she didn’t listen. I sprint the other way because I know she will pounce and knock me to the floor. I didn’t mind it in middle school but were in high school now. We can’t embarrass our selves. Dang, she got me. As I’m laying on the floor with her foot on my head, she grabs my schedule and screams “DUDE, we have like 4 classes together!” then stumbles up sprints off. I didn’t get one word. As I got up from the floor, I look up to see a pack of upper classman girls staring at me. “immature much?” One girl said as they all walked away laughing in their pink miniskirts. I look up and see Tony glance at me and walk away with all of his gorgeous friends while they were all laughing. Thanks Emily, thanks.
Later that day I found out who that one girl was. Taylor Thomson. She was tall, super skinny, and had stick straight bleach blonde hair that was so damaged it looked like it was going to fall out, and a bad spray tan that was obviously fake. I didn’t find this girl attractive at all. But apparently everyone else did. She hung out with her two best friends. Emily and Leah. They all looked the same. How could someone be that fake?
Yes, it was lunch time. My favorite time of the day. Me and Emily walk slowly into the lunch room scared where we are going to sit. As we walk in Taylor and her friends stare. We find a table and sit down. Alone, just us two. I observe everyone in the lunch room and which people were at which tables. There were the computer geeks, at the back laughing for no reason, The jocks planning out their plays for their sports, the scared freshman whimpering because the senior guys are tormenting them in the back corner, me and Emily and some nerd whose sitting at the other end of the table, and Taylor and friends. They are all sitting there eating salads with their gorgeous boyfriends. Wait a second, is that tony?! Oh no, they just hugged. Its official. Tony Sensiba and Taylor Tohmson were dating!. Well so much for that. This always happens to me. Why was I so stupid to think that I had a chance?
Once me and Emily sat down. We told each other everything. What happened in our classes, who were the mean and nice teachers, and especially, who we liked. I said I liked Tony Sensiba. She laughed because she thought I would definitely not have a chance. Then she said she liked a new freshman. His name was Nick VanHulle. Out of all the boys Emily has liked over the years, I would have to say this is her best choice. He had good grades, and was pretty decent looking. Unlike the other rebels she has dated.
Weeks passed and I’m still liking Tony. And it seems like him and Taylor have not separated or got in a fight once. But one thing that has changed is Emily is now going out with Nick. I am happy for her, I really am, but I am upset, or jealous you could say that I’m all alone. No one to hang out with now. Well besides my big fat cat, Angus.
Angus is my best friend right now. Sad to say, but it is true. He is the only one I can vent to and it seems like he understands everything that I’m saying. I love Angus. He will never leave me in the dust like my other friends.
Its spring and you know what that means. The annual school fundraiser. Since I’m in Student Counsel I have to plan an event that we have to do. I also have to make a plan to split Taylor and Tony up because I’m sick of this.
Its been two months and Taylor and Tony are now split. You would think that I would have been happy but I’m not. I feel horrible for what I did. During my plan I realized how much they loved each other. And even though I hate taylor, Tony loves her. And he will never love me and I have to except that fact. Now, its time to move on. And from now on, I will be happy for what my friends have become. I think overall this was good for me.
