...and I'm scared.

Last year was a crap year. My friends became jerks, and I was pushed around. Normal, considering I'm an awkward nerd girl. It still sucked.

This year I want to stay positive but really I'm terrified. I don't want to see all the people I came to despise last year, but I have no choice. I heard them talking about me. They might do it again.

You see my dilemma.

Any help? This isn't a new school or anything, just a new year with old friends and enemies.
