Chapter 1
AN UPDATE ON MY LIFE
Kim
You probably need to know some things about me before I start this tale.
Which is exactly why I'm going to avoid the subject completely, it's bad enough my moms making me write this. Always has wanted me to follow in her footsteps, and when she wants something she always gets it.
I'm not giving her the satisfaction.
You may call people like me stubborn, or maybe a nuisance, but its hardly fair to call me that, just because I don't want to be an author when I grow up doesn't mean I'm any of those things. Well… maybe just a tad bit stubborn…
But I don't see how that matters in the least right now. The move was hard on me. I had to leave all those familiar friends and places behind just to come here, Seaford California. Rings a bell to you? I didn't think so.
The worst part was leaving my boyfriend. Brody had always been so sweet to me. We were like two pieces in puzzle, we just fit.
But none of that means anything now. When mom and Dad told me we were moving I was forced to break his heart, not to mention mine.
I unpack my bags deliberately at a snails pace. Feeling the familiar objects as random memories pop into my head.
"Kara, that's a personal question you're asking!"
"It's called truth or dare for a reason Kim. So tell me, who was your first kiss?"
"Fine…. it hasn't happened yet." I whisper. Turning a dark shade of red.
"What? But I thought you were with Brody Kim?"
"I am but… we haven't exactly gotten around to the big kiss yet…"
I'm so embarrassed, I'm 14 and I haven't even pecked a boy on the lips.
I never got that first kiss, all because I couldn't muster the courage to make the first move.
I put a pair of pants into my dresser. Then crumple into a heap, before I know it I'm bawling my eyes out.
But I can't cry! I'm Kim Crawford! I wipe my eyes and change into my pj's. Crawling into my bed.
I know it's early to be falling asleep (It's seven PM for heavens sake) but tomorrow is my first day at school.
Jeepers! I can't wait!
Not.
