Diary Of A Dweeb 2.0
The Surprise
Loud voices echoed in the hall as streams of teens wound their way to their to their homerooms. Some took their time while others rushed. Mr. Singer stood outside his room and waved his class inside. As the bell rang a few stragglers rushed in. Once he was sure that everybody who was going to show had gone inside Mr. Singer entered the classroom and shut the door behind him.
Mr. Singer
Good morning class.
The class murmured a greeting in return.
Mr. Singer turned and walked toward his desk. Once seated he looked out over the ragtag assortment of students. A long suffering with escaped him, though nobody could have heard it over the ruckus the students were making.
The bing bong of an imminent announcement sounded and some students quieted down, but not all of them did.
Mr. Singer
Let's quiet down now.
That got the students attention and silence then reigned.
Everyone listened to the announcements then breathed a collective sigh of relief when they were all done. Some students started chatting almost as son as the announcements were done, but almost immediately quieted down again when the door to the classroom started to open. All eyes turned in that direction.
What surprise would becoming through the door?
Meet and Greet
Sharlynn sat in the back of the room, her eyes roaming across the sea of faces surrounding her. She was a bit surprised that it was so quiet and wondered why that was. As she continued to look around she noticed that all eyes seemed to be focused on the front of the room. Had she missed something? Sharlynn's eyes traveled in the direction everyone else was looking.
What she saw there completely shocked her.
Standing near Mr. Singer's desk was a young man. Sharlynn couldn't make out all the details of his features, but judging by the giddy twittering coming from the girls in the room he must be quite good looking. She noticed that the guys were looking at him with a nearly opposite reaction. She gathered that the boys in her homeroom were judging him as competition.
Mr. Singer raised his hands to get everyone's attention. Once the noise had settled down to a low murmur he spoke.
Mr. Singer
Everyone I would like you to meet a new student. Welcome Jackson Roberts to our class.
There was a smattering of hellos but most of the class just continued to share at him.
Mr. Singer
Jackson you can go take a seat by Sharlynn for right now.
Mr. Singer chuckled good naturedly.
Mr. Singer
Whoops. Sharlynn could you raise your hand?
Sharlynn raised her hand then watched as the new kid sauntered back to the empty seat right next to hers. He sat down and she watched him expectantly. Jackson Roberts sat in his seat and stared straight ahead, not even attempting to look in Sharlynn's direction. Sharlynn sighed in disappointment, but wasn't really surprised.
She was basically invisible to everyone else. Why should it be any different with the new guy?
Getting Started
Sharlynn sat and looked at the phone in her hand. She wasn't sure exactly what she wanted to do with it. Did she want to just do her normal thing or did she want to go through with the idea that had been going through her mind?
Did she want to really put herself out there?
Sharlynn looked around her bedroom, all the while still holding her phone in her hand. As her gaze travelled around the room her thoughts continued on deciding what she wanted to do. When her gaze finally settled on her phone she had finally come to a decision.
She was going to go for it! She was going to record her thoughts in a video diary!
After tidying up a corner of her room and getting her phone set up she sat in a chair she had set up just for this endeavor. Once she felt she was ready she reached out and pressed the record button.
Sharlynn
Well that doesn't sound awkward at all.
She chuckled again then took a deep breath before speaking again.
Sharlynn
Hello and welcome to Diary of a Dweeb. For those of you who don't know me, which I would assume would be anybody who actually came to watch this, my name is Sharlynn.
Sharlynn took a shaky breath then continued.
Sharlynn
I know that back in the day teens would write their thoughts and feelings in private diaries. I don't want to do that though. I want to share them with you.
Sharlynn smiled at the camera nervously.
Sharlynn
Forgive me if they aren't exciting or all that original. Remember this is just the diary of a dweeb.
With that Sharlynn reached out and pressed the button to stop recording.
She had done it!! She had made her first entry!
