It was a chilly late August evening. But I guess that's what you get for living on the beach. There was a slight breeze and the sun was going down. Another beautiful summer night. In fact, the last summer night. My feet dug into the sand as I walked across the shore on the beach behind my house. My family had a typical beach house, with another house right next to it on each side. Not that much privacy as we wanted when we first moved here a few years ago but it was on the beach. And the beach was pretty empty tonight.
That was probably because of the fact tonight was Cassie Pike's annual back to school party which practically everyone was invited to whether she knew them or not. But like all the times she'd invited me before; I wasn't going. I have nothing against Cassie, in fact she's one of my good friends. I just hate those kinds of parties in general. Everyone gushing over how different you look. Yes, that's what happens when you haven't seen some people for over three months. And I already knew I was gonna have it because of the fact I lost thirty pounds this summer.
Not all the comments were gonna be nice. Some people would bug me and act like I lost the weight because of a boy or to impress someone. As if it was impossible of me to want to lose the weight for myself right? Diabetes runs in my family, and I wanted to make sure of it that It doesn't happen to me. Simple as that.
This year was going to be my sophomore year of high school. And I'm laughing at my past self now when I was so freaked out over going into high school when truthfully it's no big deal. Last year I made friends, lost a few, learned some new things, and basically had a pretty average freshmen year. But this time I don't want an average sophomore year. I want the most crazy, fun year. I want my first boyfriend and I want my first kiss. Being fat I hid myself behind over sized hoodies and sweatpants but now I wear skinny jeans and shirts from Hot Topic and dyed my blond hair auburn.
"Come in and get ready for school tomorrow please, Falon." I jump a little as my mother calls for me. My mother and me share the same eye color, green, and we used to share the same hair color.
"Coming!" I sigh and take one last look at the ocean. "Falon Fletcher, this year is gonna be your year.
