Getting dressed in her school uniform (light blue shirt with school emblem and khaki skirt), as well as her strappy black, low heels, Seven-teen year old Eleanor Dowling looked at her reflect- ion in the mirror. Instead of a girl with long hair, glasses and braces, a toned girl who was glasses and braces free, and had a cute new haircut stood in the mirror. Even though Eleanor loved what she saw in the mirror, she didn't like the nervousand anxious feelings that she felt inside of her heart.Even though she was excited about today being the first day of her senior year, Eleanor was also hesitant.After all, she had not seen or spoken to her so called best friends since the last day of school last year.Before school had ended for the summer, Ricky, Laurel, and Derek, the individ-uals whom Eleanor had thought were her best friends, and had her best interests at heart, had started a nasty rumor about her. Thank-fully, no one had believed it, and had stuck by her. After all, she was the most popular girl at school for positive reasons, and was good friends with every-one at her school. Even though she was thankful for the support, Eleanor was also let humili-ated and hurt. With this said, she had fled to Hawaii to spend the summer with her favorite aunt in the entire world! Thank-fully, it had helped a lot.Taking a deep breath, and one last look in the mirror, Eleanor gathered her things, and made her way down-stairs.
