Newbie

Chapter 1

After I got my boba I said my goodbyes and started walking back home.

As soon as I got back I put my self defense cat in my backpack and pulled up my sleeves. I unfolded a cardboard box and set it up, putting in decorations from around my room. My college said I can move into the dorm next week! I definitely want to get there early to look around the city beforehand. I took a deep breath and folded the box top closed. I quickly taped it up and scribbled a "Decor" on the side with a sharpie.

I pushed the box aside and started packing other non-essentials. After packing about 3 more boxes I stood up, deciding to take a break.

I changed into a red tank top and shorts. I put on my worn out boots and slipped a light leather jacket over. I put my gripped groves on and grabbed my motorcycle helmet. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my ATV keys.

"Mom! I'm going for a ride!" I called out before walking into the garage. The lights flickered on and I opened the garage door. I swung my leg over the seat and sat down, putting the key in and starting it up. I put my helmet on and flicked the shades down.

I drove out of my driveway and headed down my neighborhood, passing a few people as I lifted my left four fingers slightly still keeping a grip on the handle as a wave. I threw my left hand up high as I slowed to a stop. I lowered it and looked for oncoming traffic. I saw it clear and drove forward, pulling off the street and into an ATV path through the woods.

I followed the path while dodging branches and came out the other side. On the other side was a huge unowned chunk of land that was turned into a dirt (dirt? What's that? I only know sand) track by people in the neighborhood. It had a bunch of circles, hills, and curves. It makes for a LOT of fun.

I took my foot off the foot-brake and gained speed. I drove around just having fun and going fast until I saw the vibrant colors of a sunset. I quickly turned around and headed back into the woods. After carefully making my way out and driving back home, I quickly parked and took my helmet off. I put my gloves in my helmet and took my jacket off while walking inside.

I apologized to my mom for missing dinner and ate leftovers.

I went to my room and crashed on my bed. I took a deep sigh and fell asleep.

The next few days went by pretty fast, I packed, I drove the four-wheeler, I packed, I hung out with my mom, and I packed.

I don't have many friends here. People either: cat-call me, think I'm hot because I look like a girl, call me the f slur, call me Christmas tree because of my eyes, or try to assault me. Yay. Unless they're Em! Em is the only one that has been nice to me that's not family.

I'm gonna miss Em.

I put the last box into the moving truck and stretched, hearing all sorts of cracks and pops. I gave my mom one last big squeeze and hopped in my car. The drivers of the moving truck already know where to head.

I started the car and drove off. It's gonna take 3 hours to get to the city.
