Moving isn't always bad- Chapter 1
I was so upset with my mother. She moved me from the only home I had ever known in Cameron, North Carolina to a small town called Glen Oak, California. The worst part of it was that she moved us here in the middle of my Junior year of High School. I was tempted to stay in North Carolina, but I couldn't because neither my biological father nor the two other men my mother had married and divorced wanted me to live with them. So there I was, standing outside of Glen Oak High School. It was to be my first day. I was nervous, excited, and angry all at the same time.
I slowly walked up the steps leading into the building. There were many people rushing past me. I felt like a fish out of water. I knew no one and really didn't want to be there. As I entered into my first class, Mr. Smith's Science, I was greated by twenty questioning faces. They all had the same question, who was I and what was I doing in their school. I knew what they were thinking because I had been in their place so many times back in Cameron, everytime someone new enters the school you always wonder 'what brought them here?'
The teacher had me sit next to a girl who was tall, blond, and had green eyes. She introduced herself as Cecilia. Mr. Smith made us work together as lab partners. She didn't seem too happy about it. That was until she saw me take my ruby ring off so that we could do the scientific experiment.
"That's a nice ring," She said to me.
"Thanks. My boyfriend gave it to me before I left North Carolina."
"Do you miss him?"
"More than you can imagine. We've been dating three years. He said he would have moved with me but he works so much that we wouldn't see much of each other anyway."
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok. C'mon let's get this thing done." We talked and became quick friends as we worked on the experiment.
The rest of the morning dragged on. I had met so many people that I couldn't remember their names, but I had made a few friends. But I was fearing lunch time. I didn't want to be that person who sits all alone at lunch that everyone thinks of as a loser. My fears were calmed when I went into the cafeteria and saw Cecilia.
"Britney, come sit over here!" Cecilia called to me. I went to sit with her and a few of her friends. "Shayla this is Chris, Lisa, Scott, Kelly, Shawn, Danielle, Amy, and my boyfriend Simon. Guys this is Britney. She's from umm... I know it's North Carolina but what town was it again?" Cecilia asked.
"It's Cameron. And it's nice to meet all of you."
"It's nice to meet you too. So are we going to Emily's party Friday night?" Kelly inquired.
"We should." Scott responded.
"You should come with us Britney. It will be a great chance for you to meet people and it'll be fun." Simon suggested.
"Sounds like fun. Where is it?"
"I'll pick you up," Chris chimed in.
"Uh... um... Ok. Sounds good," I said.
"We should go shopping for something to wear. That will be so fun," Amy remarked.
"Ok, yeah that sounds fun. Do you guys have any good shopping malls around here?" I asked.
"There's one about 20 minutes away. We can go after school today," Cecilia chirped.
"Actually I need to be home after school. My boyfriend Shane is supposed to call me," I said.
"You're carrying on a long distance relationship?" Danielle inquired.
"Yeah," I answered.
"Isn't it hard? I mean my ex-girlfriend and I tried the long distance thing for a while when she moved to Florida, but it didn't last. It was too hard for us," Chris said.
"Actually Shane and I have been kind of doing it for the whole time we've been together. Where he works he's on the road five days a week and home only two. He's home on Wednesdays and Thursdays only, but we've been able to deal up to now, so we'll be able to deal."
"Wait, your seventeen year old boyfriend works on the road? What does he do?" Lisa asked.
"He's not seventeen. He's twenty-six. And he's a wrestler," I answered.
"You're boyfriend is twenty-six?" Cecilia asked me.
"Yeah. I know that seems like a big age difference, but to us age is just a number," I replied.
"Don't tell my dad that. He's a minister and would probably try to talk you out of the relationship," Simon said.
"Your father is a minister?" I asked. He nodded. "Oh."
"What do your parents do?" Kelly inquired.
"My mom is a lawyer, and my father is a mechanic, but he's still back in North Carolina," I answered.
"Is he coming out here after he sells the house there?" Shawn asked.
"No actually they're divorced. My mother has actually been married and divorced three times. Surprizingly enough I only have two older siblings and they're from my father, not my mother." I responded. Everyone looked at each other not sure of what to say. I found out later on that divorce was not normal among these people. It actually wasn't that normal back in Cameron either.
"So uh.. How did everyone like Science today? Isn't Mr. Smith such a drag sometimes?" Kelly changed the subject.
