Loving Him

Chapter 1- New Life

Kathelyn's Point of View

I stepped out of Dad's car and looked at the house in front of me. Damn, it was bigger than I thought. It was a two storage house and the walls were painted white. I looked around and took the surroundings around me and saw that all of the houses here was identical to ours except that ours was much bigger.

"Kate! Can you help me with these? " I jumped, startled when Mom called out. I turned around and broke out of laughter. Mom was trying to balance a box on her arms that was labeled 'Plates' and she was in a very weird position. Dad turned to Mom to see what was so funny and joined me by laughing too. She glared at us.

"Seriously. Are you two going to just stand there laughing at me? Kate, if you won't help me carry this box, this might fall- Whoa!"

That made us laugh even harder until our stomachs hurt. Mom carefully put the box down and crossed her arms in her chest and looked at us. A minute later, we finally sobered up and wiped a tear that fell from my eye.

"Sorry Mom, that was so hilarious." I said, still smiling. Dad walked towards her and wrapped his arms around Mom. "We're sorry, honey." Mom finally smiled and shook her head. "Come on. We got a lot of work to do."

'God, I love my family'

I let out a breath when I was done unpacking and wiped the sweat that was on my forehead. I looked around my room and a proud smile formed on my face. I looked at the time in my watch, 6:04. Wow, we got here at 4 PM and it took me two hours from unpacking?

Anyways, my room was now full of things. Earlier when I entered my room, it was so empty. The wall was painted white and I'm not planning on changing it, but lucky for me it had a balcony that could see the whole town. So now, it has a bed, cabinet, desk and posters. My room had a walk in closet so I put all of my clothes there.

My body longed for a sleep but I have to take a shower first, considering that my body was covered in sweat and I need to eat too. I got a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt. I entered the bathroom and stripped off my clothes. I turned the shower on and relaxed when the cold water hit my skin massaging my muscles.

My mind drifted off somewhere. It's the first day of school tomorrow I wonder what will happen. My parents decided to move here for certain reasons. Actually, I was expelled from my old school, but wait, don't judge me. I was a good girl at school or should I say a Nerd, but everyone there bullies me, I don't even know why.

I'm just a girl that likes to raise her hand when a teacher asks a question and I happen to know the answers. I always wore those big, round glasses because I have a problem with my eye sight and my parents never got to buy contacts because they have no time!

Anyways, an accident happened in my school. I was running late around the hallway and since I have a perfect attendance, I don't want it ruined.

Suddenly, when I passed the bathroom someone pulled me inside by grabbing my arm and saw the school's queen bitch, Brittany Strapper. I know, a very cliche name for a slut. She started beating me, I want to fight back but her friends or should I say dogs, was holding my arms to the side. So what I did was I lifted my feet up and kicked her right in the face and I swear I heard a crack.

Turns out that Brittany was still jealous of me because her parents love me when we were young and they never much pay attention to their own daughter.

Honestly, we were bestfriends when we were 5 years old but that was long gone. When we were small, we like to do everything. We like to do role plays like Cinderella, Snow White and Little Mermaid. She pretty much acted like the queen and thinks that I'm her slave. I was always the witch or the evil stepmother and she was always the princess. When Brittany introduced me to her parents they immediately loved me and I don't know why.

When we reached Middle School, that's when Brittany started acting weird, like when I asked here if she wants to have a sleep-over at my house and she told me and I quote, "Sorry Kate, can't go there. I need to study. You know, you should study too instead of wasting your time." And with that she hang up, living me dumbstrucked. But that's the problem, Brittany never studies.

When I came to school the other day, everything changed. I saw Brittany stuffing things in her locker. I immediately smiled but when I came closer, a group of Popular students was around her fake smiling and laughing. My smile slowly faded away but that didn't stopped me from reaching her. When I greeted her, she turned around, realizing that it was me, she gave me a disgusted look and told me to fuck off. I was so shocked that I didn't notice the people around her snicker.

When I called her on the phone that night I was not expecting her to answer it. When I asked her whats wrong she told me that, "You know what? Why don't my parents adopt you since your the only thing they care about!" Then everything changed...

In highschool, Brittany became the popular girl and I became the loner, loser and most of all the nerd.

Anyways, back to the present time. After the fight, she blamed me for everything and said that I was the one who started it. I was so shocked when her parents demanded to take this to the court. Are you freaking kidding me? I thought they said they liked me? I expected them to clear things out but I was wrong and she broke her nose! Her nose!

The principal then decided to expel me, not because of what I have done, which was self-defense, but maybe Mr. and Mrs. Strapper paid the principal just to expel me and make their stuck-up daughter happy. I was so upset. I want to cut myself again, its the only way to escape from the pain.

When my parents knew about the fight, they understood me but they grounded me. So since I was expelled, I didn't finish 10th grade. I just hope that the students here in school won't see me as Kate, the nerd.

I didn't notice the water got very cold so I stepped out of the shower. I wrapped the towel around my body and got out. I put on my clothes and walked downstairs.

Mom was preparing food for dinner and Dad was looking for something in the box. They didn't unpack yet, because they were to tired from everything, so I'm guessing they will unpack soon. After mom was done, dad sighed and stopped what he was doing and sat down to eat.

Dad wasn't actually my real dad, he's my step-dad but he was like my real father. According to mom, my real dad died when I was still a child,  probably two years old. He was the chief but got killed when someone shot him. I don't remember any of it actually.

We were in the middle of eating when mom said something.

"By the way Kate, you will start school tomorrow and you know Emily Rinner right?" She looked at me. Emily Rinner? I thought hard. Oh yeah! My cousin. Excitement filled me from the thought of seeing her, I miss her so much. I remember, we used to play dolls. She lives here?

"Yeah, why?" I answered curiously.

"Well, she is going to show you around the school so you won't get lost. She's a Junior too so I hope you get along. She will meet you at school tomorrow." I nodded.

After were done eating, I put the dishes on the sink and told mom that I'm going to my room.

I ran upstairs and entered my room. Tiredness washed over me and I quickly changed into my pajamas and tanktop. I flopped down my bed and sighed when I felt the smoothness of the bed. Gotta sleep for tomorrow.

Sleepiness took over me after I said that and I felt myself slowly drifted off to sleep.
