I didn't like the direction the story was going in originally so I'm rewriting it.
The only characters I own are Mandi Roy and Lorraine Reed.
In all of our lives there is a fall from innocence. After which we are never the same. I know I'm not.
And like it or not there's a first time for everything.
The first hello to the first goodbye. The first kiss. The first near death experience. The first time you have a fight with your best friend. Even something little, like the first time you look yourself over in the mirror.
Sometimes we tell ourselves it's all coming too fast, when in reality the train pulled into the station right on time. What is that emotion? Afraid? Upset? Angry? Well whatever it is I remember the first time it hit me hard. I was 12-going-on-13. It's the beginning of an adventure. Hell of a cliché, huh? But it's the truth.
The worst part in a girl's life, I think. Besides giving birth.
It's also the age when you always look to your friends for support. Me and all my friends were like that. Growing up, I had 5 best friends.
Gordie Lachance.
Chris Chambers.
Amanda Roy.
Vern Tessio.
And Teddy Duchamp.
And it is not important how you spent it, But who you spent it with. You don't want to spend it with people you hate; if you do the memories will suck. But you don't want to spend with people you love. The memories will hurt too deeply. I learned that the hard way.
Does that make ANY sense?
For what I'm telling you, I hope it does...
