Had To Be You

Wait what | Ch: 1

Heyyyy peeps! Thank you for giving my book a chance.... this is my first proper work and I've put in a lot of effort in planning and writing this story, I'm sure my fellow writers will understand. Anyho, there's a whole bunch of fun, twists and majoooorrrrr  drama. If you're a fan of American rom com, teen fiction then This. Is. It. Just sit back with whatever snack is near you, get cozy and start reading.

(Notification popping sound) ugh. (Message from Chloe)

Chloe: oh my God oh my God oh my God ! I am so excited for today. and it's just the beginning. you know what?! I'm feeling it. I'm realllyyy really feeling it. This year is gonna be a good year. 

Evelyn: Yay, I am excited. I kinda saw this coming. I could barely open my eyes, but still managed to read the text. It's 5:30 in the morning, you're up already?

Chloe: Of course I am! It's the first day of high school! How can you not be excited? High school is going to be amazing, you know what's more amazing? Jasper and Hazel broke up.

Evelyn: No kidding. I grunt in my mind. I'm way too sleepy to even get that sound outta my mouth.

Chloe: Yeah. That sounded obvious. I always knew it wasn't genuine

I roll over to the other side of the bed. Evelyn: What happened btw?

Chloe: Dunno. Yet. But we are going to know once we go to school! Aaaaa I can't wait. Come on girl, get that pretty little ass out of the bed and get ready!

Even though it was a text, I could clearly understand Chloe's screaming out of excitement. I told her to give me one more hour and I'll wake up for sure.

7:00 a.m.

Chloe is a lot like my mother. My mother is as excited as Chloe is about my first day in High School. Last night she told me that she was going to make my favourite breakfast.

She made me go to bed yesterday night around like 8:30, so that I could get up early to choose an outfit .

I mean, what does that even mean? Why do I have to choose a 'special looking dress' for the first day of school?

It's absurd. I just don't get her.

I was going to wear a perfectly clean, normal looking dress.

My mother was like that back when she was in High School. She was 'The Popular Girl'. Everyone liked her, she was beautiful, smart, bold and of course there were plenty of boys who fancied her.

She obviously dated a lot of them and as she says, it's not a bad thing to be with someone and see how they are, to take your time and see if you like them.

And if you don't, you have the complete right to back off.

Relationships that we want to keep forever are like expensive dresses. You should always check them carefully.

So did she, but she never found the perfect dress.

Hence she never loved any guy. I mean that's what she said. I sometimes have my doubts.

She is a wonderful woman and smart. She must have had at least a crush on someone. I did go that way once but it didn't end well, she started asking questions to me about my crushes and I got all awkward.

She says that it was not easy to raise a child by herself, but it was more painful to not be able to share that joy with a partner.

She did tell her friends, my grandparents about me but not being able to sit with someone sipping wine and watching me take my first step was heartbreaking.
