A/N: Hello, readers! Welcome to a new fanfiction story! I have been head over heels for this show since its premiere and I'm dying for a Karmy endgame like the rest of the fans. For those of you who are following my other story, note that it is on hiatus, for I have been in talks with a friend who is willing to co-write and finish that story with me. Also I want to back away from one specific franchise for a bit and focus on other fandoms. Thank you, loyal readers! Enjoy!

My Lovely
Chapter 1
Amy POV
I sat in the car with my head against the cold glass a majority of the trip. I took in every inch of the El Paso scenery that I could, since I'd probably never come back here again. I was born and raised in this city. I made friends, discovered who I was, and even found an amazing girlfriend. All in the time that I lived here in El Paso.
"Aww, don't feel so down, sugar." my mom, Farrah, tried to cheer me up. "We'll come visit Nana and all your cousins for the holidays."
"What about Reagan? You know, my girlfriend?" I replied with a tine of annoyance.
"Ex-girlfriend!" my rude and bitchy step-sister, Lauren, replied.
"Whatever. The point is I had to just leave everything that I loved back there. Moving 8 hours away to Austin is just suicide." I said as I hit my head back against the window.
"We've all had to make sacrifices, Amy." said my step-father, Bruce. "I just had to take this job so I could send you and Lauren to college and set you up for the rest of your lives."
"I didn't ask for you to do that, Bruce! I'm 16-years-old, I don't know what I want to do with my life yet! Reagan and I were both content with moving in together when I graduated! But instead-"
"She dumped you like a sack trash?" Lauren said as she was applying lip gloss to her plump and ever so annoying lips.
"It was a mutual breakup. No hard feelings." I said.
"Look, sweetheart, I know you'll miss your little friend-" my mom began.
"Girlfriend, mom! She was my girlfriend!"
"Right, right. But just think that both you and Lauren will have a chance to start over. Maybe y'all might meet some husky bull riders at Hester High School!"
My mom couldn't come to terms with the fact that I was gay. She was dealing with it as it happened, but still had hopes that I would one day marry a man and live "happily ever after". She and Lauren got along better anyways. It was easy because I had Reagan, but now I had nobody and I had to start all over at Hester High School.
"Luckily for me, I've lived here before so I have friends already. You, on the other hand, will have to come out of your awkward shell and make some. Oh, and don't think I'm gonna hold your hand and stick with you. You're on your own." Lauren reassured me.
"Don't worry, Ill be sure to stay as far away from you as I can." I laughed.
"Now girls, y'all are sisters. Let's all get along." my mom said.
"STEP-sisters!" Lauren and I both yelled at the same time.
The rest of the drive was a blur, since I fell asleep for a majority of the 8 hours. When we finally arrived at our new house in Austin it was nearly 4 in the afternoon. As we waited for the U-Hall, Lauren and I chose our rooms. Of course, she chose the room with the biggest closet, not that I cared. Fashion wasn't really my thing. Fortunately, my room was perfect for me. It had two small windows that let in just enough sunlight. Unfortunately, Lauren and I had to share a bathroom. The movers finally arrived with all of our stuff. By time I arranged my room and made it the way I wanted to, it was nearly midnight. Plus, tomorrow was Monday and I had to start my first day at Hester High School. At least it was the first day of school for everybody, and I at least wouldn't awkwardly come into my classes late and unaware of what was going on. That night I spent at least 2 of the 5 hours of sleep I got just tossing and turning.
"Wake up, sweetheart. It's time for your first day of school." my mom gently shook me.
"As if I wasn't excited enough." I sarcastically said as I got out of bed.
I walked to the door of my bathroom to find that Lauren had locked it.
"What the hell, Lauren?" I shouted as I pounded on the door. "You were supposed to be out of the shower 20 minutes ago, it's my turn now!"
"First off, I actually take the time to put on makeup and style my hair, so therefore I need more time to get ready. And second, I have to show all the boys that 2 years away can make a difference, and now I'll be their irresistible desire. And third..."
I had enough of her counting all the reasons why she was a bitch. I took a clip from my hair and messed with the bathroom lock until I finally got it open.
"What the fuck? That's breaking and entering! I could have you arrested for this." Lauren shouted at me as she poked her head out of the shower curtain.
"Yeah, it's perfectly legal if it's your own house, now get out." I replied.
"You'll regret this." she said as she picked up her clothes and put a towel on.
"No I won't!"
I felt as if I had a tank strapped to my ankles. I couldn't move fast enough and I had 0 motivation whatsoever. I settled on wearing my olive green quarter sleeve with black pants and my black converse. I also spent time curling my hair, since I hadn't really done that during the summer. I must've lost track of time, because before I knew it, I heard Lauren honking the horn from outside my windows.
"If you don't hurry your ass up, I'm gonna leave you here and you'll have to take the smelly bus with all the other commoners."
I only laughed as her frustration. "Oh, please! Do me the favor." I said as I threw my bag in the backseat.
The drive to school seemed like hours, even though Lauren was a fast driver. Finally we arrived at Hester High School, aka my Hell for the next year or so. When we arrived to the main entrance, Lauren had found some of her old friends, although they seemed more like loyal followers, than friends. She instantly ditched me, so I was on my own. I had to find the counseling office to pick up my schedule, since I had missed the summer registration date. When I opened the doors to the office, a woman at the front desk with thick reading glasses help me print my schedule. She also printed me a map of the school and gave me my locker number and combination.
"Now, the bell for 1st period to begin doesn't ring for another 45 minutes, so that's plenty of time for you to check out your books and store them in your locker." the woman politely instructed me.
"Thank you so much." I said as I began to leave.
My next task was to find the library, which was next door to the counseling office. I checked out all my books, and began to search for my locker. As I walked around Hester High School, I must have looked confused as Hell, because a few nice students offered to help me. I kindly declined their offer. If this was going to be my school for the next year or so, I needed to find my way around by myself. I finally found my locker. It was near the bathroom so I could hit the girl's room during passing period with no problem. The guy with the locker next to me didn't even acknowledge me. He just simply put his books away and carried on. It looked like I had another locker mate on my right side, but they hadn't shown up yet. Since I didn't know my way around yet, and I had no friends, I just hung out by my locker and browsed Instagram to kill time. All my friends back in El Paso were posting pictures with each other on their first day of school. How I wish I could have been there with them. Just as I was about to walk to my first class, my other locker mate arrived. She was wearing a white dress with pink and yellow flowers on it, and had a silver necklace with a "K"on it. She had brownish-red hair and a light brown eyes. She was one of the first girls that I had seen at Hester High, that I was attracted to. She gave me a warm smile as she put her books away. I awkwardly smiled back at her, and then walked away like a coward.
How was I supposed to survive here, when I couldn't even return a smile to a cute girl?
A/N: I hoped you enjoyed this first chapter! This isn't so much an AU story, since it has the same location and characters as the show, but the relationships are going to be slightly different. For instance, Karma and Amy are strangers to each other and don't have that decade long friendship as seen in the show. Be sure to leave a review and stay tuned for more chapters!
