Chapter 1: How It All Started
This is a story about how I made the biggest mistake of my life and lost my one and only love. It all started when I moved to Sacramento, California. I begged and pleaded my mom not to move from my sanctuary, my comfort zone, my birthplace, and hometown of Bloomington, Indiana. When my mom told me about the horrible tragedy that would destroy my life forever I never saw it coming. And to think that the day started out so perfectly.

I woke up with a huge smile on my face. It was graduation day. The day I'd been waiting for my entire middle school life. I quickly dressed in my school colors (blue and white), which are not the best school colors, but everybody loves them. Since I had an hour before my space shuttle to school came I decided to check my IPADD (A/N: the IPADD is not my idea I give FULL credit to TrekkieBaby check out her stories they are awesome) for any new messages.
I had one new message. I figured it was from Seven (my bff) saying that she wanted to hang out after graduation. So when I opened the message I wasn't ready for the unexpected and the impossible. Harry Kim, the hottest guy in the eighth grade, sent me a text! Me! Kathryn Janeway! I was shocked! This is how the text convo went:
Harry: hi Kathryn, how ya doin'
Me: gr8, hi Harry, good thx and u
Harry: gr8, I wanted to ask u something
I hesitated for a minute not sure what to expect next.
Me: ok, ask away
Harry: would u like 2 go out w/ me Saturday nite?
I couldn't believe it! I was sure I read the message over a thousand times before I replied.
Me: yes, I would luv 2
Harry: =) gr8! Pick u up 8!
Me: sounds gr8
Harry: Cya schl
Me: Cya
After I calmed down I picked up my IPADD … again … and called Seven. "Hello?" Seven sang into the phone.
"Hi! It's me, Kathryn," I responded.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! What's new in your life?" she questioned.
"Oh nothing much, just Harry Kim asked me out!" I exclaimed.
I waited for a response when I didn't hear one I asked "Seven?" Then I heard the sound of joyful screaming on Seven's end.
"Hello?" I asked.
"You have to tell me everything! How? When? Where?" Seven replied.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! One question at a time please!" I said laughing at my friend's excitement.
"Fair enough," she sighed, obviously deflated.
Then I heard the sound of a shuttle honking outside.
"Seven, I gotta go. That's my ride. I promise to explain everything at school. Ok?" I explained to Seven.
"Ok Cya later," she said.
"Cya."
I grabbed my purse, my book bag, and walked down the stairs; only I was stopped by my mom.
"Katie." I cringed at the name I hated it when she called me that. "Katie, we need to talk," my mom stated.
"Ok."
We walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Listen, my boss just promoted me," she said, not sounding as excited as I looked.
"Mom that's great! I'm happy for you," I exclaimed.
"I know! The thing is though, he wants us to move to California," she said looking down. I just stared at the wall not sure what to say next. I heard the honking of the space shuttle, got up, and left.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE MOVING!!!?" Seven practically yelled in my ear when I told her what my mom had told me.
"A little louder why don't ya? I don't think my ear is quite busted yet!" I yelled at her, except at a quieter level. Seven has always been my best friend ever since I can remember, but she always overreacted a tad. More like a lot. She just had that little flaw which could be easily fixed with therapy…I think. Hopefully---
"Kathryn!" I heard Seven yell. "Did you hear a word I just said?"
"Um… is that a rhetorical question?"
"Depends was that a rhetorical question?"
"Yes?"
"Then no it wasn't a rhetorical question."
"Well could you repeat the non-rhetorical question?"
Seven sighed as she said "What about Harry?"
"Oh…Oh…Oooooh…That is a very good question!"
"Yeah, I know, that's kinda why I asked it."
Kathryn pulled out her IPADD and started to send Harry a message.
Kathryn: Hey Harry, I have sum bad news
Harry, who was just 5 inches down the hall, pulled out his IPADD when he heard it beep. Then he responded to the message.
Harry: Oh no don't tell me you can't make it to our date
Kathryn: how did you know?
Harry: it's the same every time
Kathryn: But I'm moving I mean I really want to go out with yo- wait a minute what happens every time
Harry: every single time I ask a girl out it's the same thing every time excuses
Kathryn: If you don't mind me asking how many times has that actually happened to you?
Harry: that's beside the point
Kathryn: uh-huh bye Harry
Then Seven and I walked home said goodbye one last time and promised that we wouldn't lose contact. We were both heart-broken. But it was something we had to get over. And when I got home my bags were packed and my mom and I were headed to California.
