I enrolled in a high school in southern Carolina known as Stone Bridge. I transferred here from California for my first year of high school.
Most people would be worried about making new friends, considering it could establish a foundation for the rest of your high school life, but I did not need to concern myself with matters such as those as I have much experience making friends. 'Friends' would actually be the wrong label to place on those individuals, I would rather refer to them as very good acquaintances who also serve as my peers. I phrase my words in this manner because the definition of friend, as society defines it, is somebody you like to spend time with.
I intend to make it very clear that I am not really one for opening up to people. Sure you would see me hang out with teenagers of my age at social districts such as malls or movie theatres, but all that is a facade I simply put up for society so they do not discriminate me for having a different train of thought than that the usual crowd.
My first day of high school would be starting tomorrow, I would be lying if I said I was not nervous in the least. The reason is not because of facing new people, but because I have yet to draw up the persona I want to greet those people with. Most people would not even give any thought to this kind of thing, but I am different, if I show my real self to those individuals I will most definitely be labelled as a loner with weird ideologies.
I have narrowed down my possible personas to two. I now have a decision to make, do I want to to go with the 'Happy go lucky' persona or do I want to play the 'Cool guy' persona. If I go with the former, 'Happy go lucky' persona I will become popular sure, but at what cost? I will most definitely never acquire a female companion during the tenure of my high school life, why you ask? It's because no girl will ever take a guy like that seriously. It's not that I am in need of a female companion, I only require one to properly fit as a unit of society. Society is like a computer program, if any of the codes malfunction it could be catastrophic, worst case scenario the program deletes itself. In other words humanity's fate depends on me, therefore I need a mating partner. Some people may call me narcissistic, but I call it realising one's own importance.
Anyway back to the persona business, if I choose the 'Cool guy' persona I will be popular with the girls for sure, but I do not want to become popular to the extent of having the entire male population attacking me.
I think I will go with the 'Cool guy' persona, as I feel that I may be able to act it more naturally, you know with being naturally cool and all.
I know the kind of life I lead will be difficult to comprehend for some of you, but please, just bear with me and you to will come to understand the concept of life, or to put it more specifically the concept of my——
"Go to sleep Harvey! Is it that difficult to understand that your father and I are trying to spend some quality time, and please try to refrain from speaking to yourself!" and then the lights get switched off before the door bangs shut and I am plunged into a world of darkness.
