Something must have happened and turns Melinda's life into a mess. That thing makes Melinda feel awkward, makes her friends dump her, and make her have negative perspective on almost everything in her life. But Melinda wants someone to help her, or to listen to her at least. No one, not even her parents. Melinda needs help. She needs a person or a place to make her feel safe, comforted.

She feels isolated because her friends do not talk to her, and she always wants to escape from the crowd. She likes art because it makes her feel relaxed. She feels safe when she hides under the cover in her bed. We can realize that she is a girl with low sense of safety and does not want to communicate with the outside world. But she has a lot of strong emotions in her mind just like normal girls. ]]> 2017-12-06 05:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaweiyan/d0martnse3j/wish/213579414 https://padlet.com/xiaweiyan/d0martnse3j/wish/213579477 Melinda is a girl who doesn't care about her school life.

She is not willing to join any groups of students, as her old friends all found a party in the orientation(Nicole, Ivy, Rachel) . She thinks high school is terrible and she can only found tranquility in art classroom and in the janitor's closet. She found comfort with the art teacher, Mr.Freeman, and received her project of the year -a tree. The only students she talks with is Heather. Heather invited her for hang out, but she seems know something about Melinda in the summer. And then isolate her from the school.

They only cared about the result of the test and never care about what happened to Melinda. They didn't find out that Melinda was lonely in the school. At home, they hardly speak to each other, they used note in the kitchen to communicate. Melinda's mother is always busy on her business.

Obviously, Melinda has some bad feelings when her parents educate her, enforcing her to tell them her grade. I think it's not good for both parents and Melinda. They will have some misunderstand and Melinda may not tell them the thing that bother her painfully.

It's about the time and it's about the age. Nothing seems be able to stop the thing, not the parents, not the scary homeroom teachers, not even your grade leader.

Since the school don't allow us to fall in love, we have to make sure teachers don't know about our love affair.

I think it is a proper time for high school students to celebrate Valentine's Day. They need the help from lovers to support their studies and lives.

If I do that, I will have a friend as a normal person.

Heather is my friend, at least she give me some kind of support. Until I lose her, I figure out that. Life is not easy all the time. And the most part sucked me is that my heart is totally a mess.
