If someone decided to make a list of ordinary teenage girls in the world, Hannah Jones would have to be in there. Just like every average teenagers, Hannah had a family, friends, and she was happy (Well, most of the time). Hannah was living in California when her family decided to move to New York for some personal reasons. California, The Golden State, was where Hannah was born and raised, but her family moved to New York at the age of 13. These two states were a complete opposite of each other, so it was difficult for her to get used to the weather, people, and school. After settling in at Hannah’s new home, she was getting ready for school for the next day. “Hey, you!” said a voice far down in the hallway. “So you’re the new girl, huh?”
Hannah kept silent. “Are you scared?” continued by the same voice. “Come on, Lucy, don’t waste your time on the new girl,” added on by another different voice. As the voices slowly disappeared, Hannah turned her back from the voices and walked away with mixed feelings. She felt lonely and insecure about herself. She felt angry and wondered why was this happening to her. When the last bell rang, students rushed for the classrooms’ door to head home for the weekends; while Hannah was still flabbergasted of what happened earlier. Hannah walked out of the school’s gate and started to head to her mom’s car. “How was your day, honey?” her mom asked in a. “Fine,” Hannah replied with a. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk?” her mom asked. “Yeah,” said Hannah. Hannah was trying to hide her emotions inside her. Her emotions were trapped, and they waiting to be released and free. She pretended that nothing had happened, but inside, she was desperate for help and comfort.
