This is so, I don't know, odd for me. I'm not a day person, I'm a night person I don't even get why I'm out in the daylight. I'm surprised no one's even looked at me. Yet.
I'm Star and I have, like, no friends at all. That shows how much of a life I have right. I have no friends, no life, and I'm trying to get one.
This is my story of trying to get a life. Enjoy.
Who knows why but I was lonely and needed someone to hang out with. I also noticed that since I had no friends I also had no life.
I decided that today I was going to the park and make some friends. I hope my plan will work like I want it to.
As I walked to the park I saw many people around my age. Ever since I had graduated high school I never went outside during the day, I always slept during the day and watched the stars at night. Graduating two years ago nothing had really changed from when I last saw it.
"Star? Is it really you?" a male voice said behind me. I had no clue who it was either.
"Um, hi." I say turning around to see Damon, an old high school friend.
"Star, do you know how long it's been since I've seen you?"he asked.
"Uh two years?"
"More like three years!"
"I thought it was two. Wanna know why you haven't see me in a long time?"
"Yeah. I love good stories."
I told him what I had been up to those last couple years and he told me he was a book publisher.
"Star you should give me a story to give my boss! You could become a famous author cause your writings are really good!"Damon exclaimed.
"No Damen, I'm not giving you one."
"Fine be that way. Anyway wanna go out for lunch or do somethin'?"Damon asked me.
"Yeah, you know you were my one and only friend. Even though you were one of the popular kids no one made fun of you for hanging out with me."I told him.
"Yeah, but they didn't care that I hung out with you cause they thought you were really cool."
"Me? Cool?"
"Yeah. I know right."
"Let's go eat. I'm hungry."
"Follow me."
He led me to a really expensive car. I had no clue what kind of car it was. When the car started moving my favorite band, Hawk Nelson, was playing.
"Damon when did you start listening to Hawk Nelson?"
"Ever since you stopped talking to me. It reminded me of you. I didn't want to forget you Star."
"Oh, well, that's nice."
Ten minutes later we were at what looked like a very chic resturant. As we walked in my guess was right it was very chic and sophisticated.
"Why couldn't we just go to Wendy's or McDonald's?"
"I didn't take you to either of those because I had to come here for a meeting and I was able to bring a friend."
"You have meetings here?"I said in amazment.
"Yep and the food is great."Damon told me while we walked up some stairs and onto the roof.
"Damon your here and is that Star!"Some on said.
"Yes it's Star. She's finally decided to join the dayworld again."
"What have you been up to Star?"
"Sleeping during the day so I can starwatch at night."
"Oh I guess that explains why we haven't seen you in three years."
"Yeah. I guess I love starwatching a lot."I answered all the questions as easily as if it was nothing.
Damon was right the food was good, no it wasn't good it was great.
I was happy to be around people again. I connected with everyone in a way. With Damon it was music, with Sam it was books, and with Alison it was nature. Everyone was like me in a different ways from music to nature, I loved being around people.
I don't know how I could have been a night owl all those years. I couldn't believe that I missed out on all of this.
"Hey Star here's a little present I had meant to give this to you on graduation but I forgot to give it to you."Sam said handing me the small rectangle.
"Thanks Sam,"I opened it."Wow a new drawing book! Thanks Sam, I've needed a new one."
"Your welcome Star." Sam said blushing.
"Do you have a pencil cause I know what my first drawing will be."
"Yeah here."
I started to draw him. I wondered if it would look just like him or it it would look like a little kid had done it.
When I was done I looked down to see a drawing that I would have got an A+ on in middle school or high school. It was that good. It was better than good my teachers would have said I was very, very talented.
"Star?Star? Hello earth to Star."Sam was trying to get my attention.
"Huh? What is it?"
"Can I see what you drew? Please?"
"Oh, yeah. Sure here."I said handing him the notebook.
"Wow! That's like really good Star. Is that supposed to be me?"
"Yeah kinda. I choose you because you gave me the book and all so... yeah it's you."I admitted to him.
"Well it's really good. You're a great artist, Star."
"Thanks I..."
"Star are you ready to go?"Damon yelled.
"Yeah! I guess so!"I yelled back.
"Then come on!"
"Coming! See ya Sam."
"Bye."
I ran down the stairs and ran right into Damon. He steadied me and then he turned and walked to his car. I followed him and got in. When he started driving I noticed he was going away from my house.
"Where are we going?" I asked him kind of paniky.
"To my house but I want to stop at the store first."
"Why do you want to stop at the store?"
"To get you a bathing suit. I have a pool and hot tub."
"Okay. You know you could have taken me to my house."
"But you can keep this bathing suit at my house."
"Now I get why."I didn't but oh well.
After stopping at the store and getting a bathing suit, we headed to his house.
His house, or should I say mansion, was like twice as big as a really big mansion. I liked it though, it made me feel like a little kid again.
