Our May Flowers

*Chapter 2*

*Kate:

"Kate, you haveee to get a new boyfriend", said my best friend Lucy.

"I know he's not perfect but he's trying to become better, for me", I replied.

"Haha, as if. Look at him!!! He is practically drooling over the new girl Jen", Lucy told me for the millionth time.

"I get that you are jealous, but no need to rub it in my face!", I practically screamed at her.

"Me, jealous??? Are you kidding me right now?", said Lucy.

"Yes and you know what? We are not friends from this day on", I said as I stormed off to the bathroom.

Me and Lucy have been friends since forever, since I moved into this neighborhood wayyy back in 2011 after I got suspended for "danger of physical injury to the student."

Well that's not the main reason I moved here.

My mom- 

She died that very afternoon.

I cried and cried finding out as I got home that day, not understanding why she had to leave me.

She had cancer, I later found out by my dad as I got older.

We moved here to forget her, to move on.

It was the best for us all.

Me and Lucy became instant besties the second we saw each other.

Moving to a new school, new experiences here was difficult at first, but I soon got used to it.

I became a very shy kid, I didn't think I belonged.

Until I met Lucy of course.

We went through everything together.

First tooth that fell out, crushes, periods, boyfriends.

Going to the beach for the first time, Ice skating.

Literally EVERYTHING.

My life is starting to fall apart, I can feel it.

Last week, I caught my current boyfriend-

Kissing some other girl.

I was beyond devastated, I have no idea why I didn't just break up with him.

But everyone deserves a second chance.

Right?

He convinced me that he was going to change, for me, for us.

He wants to make our relationship work.

I want to make it work to.

I wonder if Lucy was right though...

Should I just move on and find someone new?

But I refuse to though, we will make this work.

Somehow...

We have been dating since valentines day, when he asked me out.

He brought flowers, chocolates and a teddy bear.

It was so romantic...

Except the fact that the chocolates had peanuts in them, and I have a peanut allergy.

He is hella hot and attractive, I cannot imagine what my life would be like without him.

I should text him right now.

Kate: Hi Steven 😘 😘

Kate: Would you like to go to the movies after school?

Steven: Ummm no- I'm kinda busy after school...
