She stared as she watched Nigel walk off happily with his long time girlfriend Lizzie.
It had been years since they were going out all the way back to the knd days. "Guess Abigail figured out way too late
who she loved, and its way too late she just wishes she would have noticed him before." she sighed and turned away
from the sight. It was the end of graduation day and she was going off to stanford
university. As she walked into the room where the celebration was being held she
thought about the old knd days when they were always together and although they still talked one incident pushed her
and Nigel away from each other, and their friendship could never be mended they were all still friends
but they did not get to talk very much. Kuki and Wally were seeing each other. kuki was head
cheerleader and Wally was Captain of the football team and they were going to the same college
and would probably get married. Nigel was asb president got the second highest student rating
below her and was planning on attending Princeton. Hoagie finally got over Cree at age
thirteen but he moved away not long after, and from what she heard he skipped two
grades and was already in college. She on the other hand did not get very involved in
highschool. Yes Abigail former number five was a loner an outcast at school and she liked it that
way, she used to have one friend but she went away. In highschool everyone was busy with their
own lives but they still got to see each other on special occasions.
Her sister, Chad and her father were there to congratulate her. Cree had
married Chad and was six months pregnant she had become an accountant and Chad
had become a very famous sports caster. She was happy that her sister was happy and
happy to have chad in the family. Part of her hoped that she would fall in love someday
and that the person would love her back, however the person would never be him she missed her chance with her true
soulmate. She was tired of being a tom boy and she was
tired of being a loner. When she got to highschool she had started wearing over sized t-
shirts and baggy pants to hide her figure. Big changes had happened the summer that
she turned thirteen. Since she was not an overly social person she became absorbed in
her studies thinking of little else, every weekend she had done some type of community
service, had kung fu lessons everyday after school, had summer jobs in which she saved
all the money she made and took singing lessons once a week to make up for her lack of
participation in school. She stopped packing her clothes and picked up one of her shirts
she threw it down in digust and decided she would just have to do some shopping. She
rushed downstairs and out the door shouting that she was going out for a while. She
arrived at the place she had avoided like the plague during her highschool years. She took a deep breath and walked
into the mall. "Hi abigail" she heard two familiar voices calling her. Looking around she saw Kuki and Wally. "Hi guys
whats up? fancy seeing you here." "We are always here silly is something wrong you never come here." Kuki said in the
carefree way only she possessed. Abigail was happy that she had not changed that much. "Nah nothin's
wrong kuk I just wanted to go shopping for school tomorrow." "Really you are going shopping." Abigail could not help
but smile at how well her friends still knew her. "Uh yeah I want a new wardrobe for school. Do you think you could help
me pick something out?" "Yes I have been waiting for you to ask me that question forever lets go. Are you coming
Wally?" "Shopping no way not me shopping is for girls im going to the arcade see ya later babe bye Abby." Wally said
with a thick austrailian accent. "Bye" the girls said in unison. "So what kind of clothes do you want? We are not shopping
for boy clothes are we?" "Ha ha very funny kuki no we are not shopping for boy clothes I want to look hot."
"Yay lets go into this store I love this store" Kuki dragged abigail into store
after store. Alot of guys were staring at them one even tried to hit on Abby while his friend was failing miserably at
wooing Kuki. They finished their shoppin and said their good byes, and their I am going to miss you's and went their
seperate ways. "Heehee that was kind of fun Abigail might have to do that more often." she
laughed to herself and got in her car and drove home. She was happy that her dad was
working late she did not want anyone to know about her little shopping spree. That
night she slept so peacefully, anxious for the next day she would have to wake up early
and catch a plane to school.
"Abigail you have to get up your flight leaves in an hour." her
dad yelled from downstairs. She drowsily stood up and headed for her bathroom. In an
hour she was saying goodbye to her family and boarding the plane she brought an outfit
with her in her carry on bag so she could she would get onto the plane as the old tom boyish Abby,
but she would get off as a new woman. Her flight landed, there was noone to meet her and tell
her where to go but that was ok, she just got a taxi and told the driver to take her to the
school. She went to her dorm and got unpacked then someone came in. "Hi im cori guess
we're roomies eh." "Yeah hi i am abigail." She studied the girl she looked almost exactly like
Kuki. Long jet black hair and green eyes but she had purple streaks in her hair. She
wore a red tank top that showed her flat midriff and a short black skirt with black sandles
that had a red flower on the side of each foot. " Hey we're late for orientation we have
to go Abigail." "Uh ok just let me grab my key." When they got to the orientation the
speeches hadn't started yet so they took some seats in the front of the audience. "Hey
so Abbs can I call you Abbs? What is your major?" " Yeah you can and my major is
undecided at the moment." "Cool so I hear the guy giving this lecture is like an absolute
genius hes our age and a junior also I hear he's really cute." "Really?" but cori did
not get to answer because the speaker started speaking. Abigail looked at him he was
really attractive sandy brown hair and blue eyes even though he had on a sweater and
long slacks you could tell that he had an absolutely incredible body. Abigail did not know
if she was imagining things but it seemed as if he was staring at her. She sat there in a
trance her eyes locked on his she barely heard a word out of his mouth. He seemed in
some way familiar as if she had known him all her life as if she had met him somewhere
before.
