The beaches were beautiful. The water was clear. All of Playa Linda was like a picture from a storybook- but I still missed Kansas. All the people at my school, my friends, my house. And Bradin. He used to go to my school in Kansas, we were best friends. I don't know how I'm going to do this whole moving thing without him. There are new people, a new school. I start tomorrow-
THE NEXT DAY
I took the 10 minute walk to school, which wasn't the worst considering it was on a beach…and the surfers in skintight wetsuits don't exactly kill the experience I pulled the letter out of my jacket pocket that had my locker combo, number and schedule on it. I walked up to the doors of my school, and I started to see all the people already there in little groups. How was I ever going to make new friends? Everybody here looks like they have known each other forever. Whatever, my 'confidence' will win everyone over eventually. Ha. I walked into school, head up with a big smile plastered on my face. Let's do this thing. I started trying to make my way thought the hoards of people trying to find my locker. 2435…crash "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry". That's great, my first day of school and I had already knocked into someone and made them drop there books. And it's a guy. I can just see hi being a cute senior. My high school years are ruined. "Mandy?" What, he knows my name?
"Oh my freaking god! - Bradin, what the hell are you doing here?" He grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. Suddenly I knew my high school years would be better.
