Not so normal social experiment.

High School as rumored is a place where memories are made, will it be the same with me? I mean I'm already getting a fresh start at life, away from all that stress and loneliness, it kept me up long enough.

"I just hope that it doesn't follow me all the way here." I thought to myself, as I unpacked my suitcase.

It was late evening, and I stared through my window, below our apartment, I could see the busy city, with cars just rushing by.

I didn't want to miss my old life as it wasn't the best though I kept yearning to go back." Or maybe I'm just exaggerating it." I thought to myself as I shook my head and continued to unpack.

It was 2 days before the start of school, and I needed to pass some time, so I began to think... "What if I try to make some friends?" I thought, but soon shrugged it off.

"To be honest, I don't know how express myself, I never had to, as I didn't need to because no one would talk to me, I never really felt what it's like to have a friend, who you can express yourself with..." I said in a quiet voice, only for myself to hear.

An idea soon struck my mind and I thought, "I should get a journal!" It just came to me like magic, using a journal is like therapy, for free though. "I could write my thoughts and emotions in there, and without being judged, or feeling lonely. I can just be myself, and maybe I could make a friend, once I learned to express myself." I said, as I slammed my fist into my palm.

I took some cash from my allowance, which wasn't much and headed to the general store. I searched,and in the stationary aisle, I found the perfect one. It was a normal 'feint and margin' A5 book, with a blue stained, leather cover that said, "Thoughts should be shared, whether with a person, or a book, share them, and they won't waste away."

I grabbed it, and checked, whether it was in my budget, and it was so, I instantly bought it, and took it home.

I opened the book, and on the first page, you could fill in your name and goals, that you wish to accomplish, to which I wrote, "To learn how to express myself, Make my first friend and be more social."

I didn't want to write just yet, tomorrow will be my first outing, I just need to plan it out, and then I shall write. I want to make my first entry a good one, so I will make it about a milestone, that being going out without being laughed at, and avoided, like the plague. They probably thought I had it to begin with.

I just went to bed as it was dark out, and I needed energy for the day. The moment I closed my eyes I blacked out.

(Time skip)

I woke to the sound of my alarm, and the rays of sunshine, seeping through my curtains. I got up, and headed downstairs, to make myself some breakfast.

I ate my cereal, thinking of what to do today, and a thought came to me, "How about the park?"

The park was the perfect place, it had lots of people, and a nice atmosphere, kinda because it was outside.

Despite having no social interaction I like being outside, it makes me calm.

I took a quick shower, and picked out a nice outfit. I made my way to the park, and there were a lot more people than expected, I gulped from nervousness.

I sat on a bench and took in the fresh air, it was truly a calm place until...
