My mother turned around to look at me in the back seat "Can you believe it honey? we're almost home!" Of course I knew we were almost home. I had been counting down the days since the minute we left the driveway exactly 1 year and 3 months ago! Now, before I get ahead of myself, i'm Andy (Andrea) Graham. I've lived in Castle Rock since I was 16 years old, until my father decided he'd take a job in Orange County. Meaning I had to leave behind my four best friends in the world, Chris , Gordie, Teddy, and Vern. I've known them since I was three years old. They're my boys, and i'm their girl.
Being an only child, and not having a good relationship with either of my parents, they were the only people I could go to. My parents never beat me, but that doesn't mean we got along either. My mother hated the fact that all my friends were boys and I didn't act like a "proper young lady", and my father was always too busy sticking his tongue down other girls throats to give two shits about me, I barley ever saw him. Of course, my mother never knew about his affairs because she was too busy yelling at me about how disappointed she was in me. Me and the boys would all sleep with our windows unlocked, so if any of us needed somewhere to go, we'd know one of us is always there. So you can imagine how hard it was for me when I had to leave my boys to live with the stuck up pricks of Orange County. While I was there I became friends with a group of girls, and before I knew it, I was wearing makeup and clothes that were actually meant for girls. You can guess how happy my mother was about that. And now, 1 year and 3 months later, i'm on my way back to little old Castle Rock.
