My life's gone to hell. Honestly, I think I've got to be the stupidest person ever. My life used to be a pretty good one; I had a fantastic boyfriend, an amazing best friend, a nice house…I could go on and on if I wanted too, but I really don't. Like I said, my life used to be great…then I graduated high school.
Life in Appleton, Indiana was about as boring as could be expected. There wasn't anywhere to hang out at really, plus most kids there hated me. The only two that didn't were Archie, my best friend, and Evan, my boyfriend. Well a little while after Evan moved there people started hating me less. I wasn't popular by a long-shot, but people didn't talk about me behind my back (or to my face) that much anymore. I even kind of made friends with a girl named Kendra in Junior year when she began to date Archie.
But the Senior year happened. A lot of stuff happened that year. My old enemy Lucy got pregnant with the Quarterback, Brett. Most of us were supportive of her, seeing as we were a small town in Indiana and she wasn't the first girl to get pregnant in high school. Also, Archie took a turn for the worst and spent most of the time in and out of the hospital. Kendra hardly ever left his side.
Then towards the end of the year, Evan and I had this major fight. It happened after Prom, we were supposed to go to this after-party at someone's house. We had been dancing for awhile and we were hot and sweaty (not like that!), so I told him I'd go get us some drinks. When I came back, I saw him sucking the face off of some random girl that I was 96% sure didn't go to our school. I dumped the drinks all over them, then broke up with him in front of everyone. Then for the last two weeks of school, I avoided him. I spent all my free-time with Kendra and Archie and I felt like a third wheel.
Where am I eight years later, you ask? I'm living in Chicago, Illinois; working as a secretary at a pretty big law firm. I truthfully hate my job, my boss is creepy and I'm one of three female employees here. The other two are total snobs, so I avoid them.
As for everyone else, I only keep in contact with Archie and Kendra. They are planning on getting married next spring and I'm one of the Bride's Maids. I heard Lucy is the Maid of Honor and Archie hasn't decided on a Best Man. They're living in Indianapolis now. They own a successful flower shop where Kendra's the Head Florist and Archie works finances. Kendra mentioned Lucy and Brett are still in Appleton where Brett is the football coach and Kendra coaches cheerleading. Their son, Carson, is eight now and at the top of his class. They must be so proud.
Archie doesn't mention Evan. He knows what went down and he knows I don't want to talk about it. Kendra, on the other hand, talks about him sometimes. She told me how he moved back to New York City and how he's some big, fancy business man. I'm not sure if I want him to be at the wedding or not. I know Kendra and Archie will invite him, he was after all their friend for years. Who knows if he'll even show up?
I know a lot of people have done stories like this, but I wanted to do one as well. So THERE! Just kidding! Anyway, please review? This is just the prologue, so the next chapter will be a lot longer!
