Hi, my name is aGirlLikeMe. I’ve never made an actual introduction like many of you have so I thought now would be a good time to do so.
I sit in the corner of the cafeteria, next to one of the only windows that show outside. You’d think everyone would be crowded around them. I don’t know why they would exactly but it’s one of those things like the bus. Everyone wants to sit next to the window. That’s just how it is.
I don’t have any close friends but I hang out with a small group of half-way decent freshmen. Sometimes, I saw Amanda in the halls and wanted to say ‘hi’ or ask her to come sit with us during lunch because she always seemed so lonely. She was a person that everyone acknowledged but didn’t want to.
Being a girl like me, I never said anything to her. And now I find out that Callie, Nia, and Hal were good friends to Amanda and that makes me feel a little better. But it doesn’t excuse my behavior.
I’m not an outcast but while sitting at my corner next to my window in the school cafeteria, I feel that way. And sometimes, I think Amanda felt that way too. That’s why I wanted to be her friend. That’s why I want to be her friend.

Don’t be ashamed GirlLikeMe. With Amanda’s…aura, I’m sure most people like us wanted to be around her. She made good people feel special. Not made. Makes. I’m on the newspaper with her and even though I didn’t know her very well, I wish I did. I wish she had chosen me to be her guide like Callie, Nia, and Hal.
