Write a few pages in which you obsess over something meaningless

 In my freshman year of high school I was new to the state of Georgia and my high school. I knew I was going to have to meet new people in order to make new friends but was very nervous to do so. When school started I didn’t talk to no one for about a month because of this fear that was tearing me up inside because I really did want to make new friendships but didn’t know how. Eventually someone talked to me and I met one friend but wanted way more. I would think about how I needed to stop being so afraid and try to talk to people everyday at school. It wasn’t till the second semester I actually started talking to people without being afraid and shy to speak. It took me a long time to overcome this fear and a lot of overthinking.

The story had a great plot twist at the end and I think the in depth events taken place made the story believable. I couldn’t really determine the two themes so I picked the best ones I thought it could be. I got 10 out of the 13 questions correct.
